"A scene on the poop of a man-of-war. A lean and shambling civilian, his hat tied on by a spotted handkerchief, clutches the coat-tail of a sailor to say: "My dear Friend - I understand you are Captain of this here ship - and they says a how the Enemy, is in sight - now could not you put the ship a little on one side, and not be too ventersome - its the best way to be a little cautious - I am but a poor weaver - but however life is sweet." The sailor (r.) (dressed as in BMSat 10894) holds a cudgel, has a quid of tobacco in his cheek, and points with his left hand to the right. He glares fiercely at the weaver, saying, "Why you paltry land Lubber do you want me to run away? - but however I never bear malice so I'll give you a little Comfort - before I would strike to an Enemy d'ye see - I would blow the vessel up in the air - So before you could turn a chaw of tobacco you would be out of your misery." Behind (l.) two sailors man a gun. On the deck (r.) is a pile of cannon-balls."--British Museum online catalogue

"Two sailors face each other at a small table, on which is a centre-dish of pork bristling like a porcupine. Behind the table stands the hostess looking warily at one sailor (r.); she says: "Never was better Pork believe me Gentlemen - I powdered it with my own Hands." He answers, scowling: "Did you so - then I'll tell you what Mistress, while your hand was in, I wish you had Shaved it also." The other (l.), spiking a bristling chunk of meat on his knife, says: "Why Jack - may I never cast Anchor again, if there ant bristles in this Pork as thick as Cables." Beside him is a dog. Both sailors wear striped trousers with buckled shoes. A punch-bowl is on a side-table, and the print of a ship on the wall indicates a sailor's house of call."--British Museum catalogue

"A woman decked out in quasi-fashionable but absurd finery, stands in an old-clothes shop between two sailors, one (r.) dressed much as in BMSat 10894, but with two bunches of seals at his fob, the other wearing a petticoat, his bluejacket open to show a white waistcoat. Both have their black scarves knotted round a white stick-up collar. The woman holds a parasol, and has a ring on every finger; a miniature (see BMSat 10894) hangs from a chain of beads, she has two large bunches of seals, bracelets, and ear-rings. A much-feathered hat has a large projecting scoop; her high-waisted dress has a long train, with vandyked lace trimmings. The vulgar, would-be fashionable, shopman, says: "Depend upon it Sir, mine is the first house for for fashionable Articles in Monmouth Street, on the honor of a Salesman I have dealt fairly and honestly, I assure you, by the Young Lady's fashionable feather hat, I dont get a farthing - ." The sailor answers: "Come - come no palaver. I know you have cheated me pretty handsomely - but howsomever as my Messmate and I go partners in the ship and Cargo - it wont fall so heavy - but come my hearty - I'll tell you what I'll do with you - throw me in half a dozen laced Smickets [chemises], and we'll make it even money, I like to have it all rignt under the Hatches, you understand me - all of a piece from Stem to Stern, D----n me!" The other sailor (r.) and Poll face each other. He says: "Why Poll I should scarcely know you - You look like a Bond Street frigate steering towards Pall-Mall - but I say my lass I dont much admire your gib-boom - it puts me in mind of a scuttle fish in a fresh gale." On the extreme left. are long shelves piled with garments; on the r. a man's tail-coat is displayed on a stand. The shop opposite is seen through the open door."--British Museum online catalogue

"Heading to engraved verses. A theatrical cabin-boy of feminine appearance, wearing a striped shirt and dark trousers, sings with his back to the sea, and within a few inches of the breakers. On the right are pasteboard rocks. A small boat is sinking, and a castle is lit by a flash of lightning.'"--British Museum online catalogue
