"The mother sits beside an open work-table, receiving the children whom a black footman ushers in, looking round the door and grinning broadly. The eldest girl has rushed into her mother's arms; a little boy stands beside her, gleefully welcoming a younger girl who is running forward. The eldest boy, on whom his mother's eyes are fixed, advances nonchalantly, blowing a trumpet. A cockatoo screeches on its perch. There are two pictures: Harvest Home and Happy Return, a woman at her cottage door greeting a youth."--British Museum online catalogue

"An elderly man with his hat tied over his ears and his right hand plunged deep in his coat-pocket walks (left to right) in a wintry landscape, across ice or snow. A flying demon, 'Jacky Frost', nips his nose between finger and thumb; he has webbed wings of ice fringed with icicles, and is naked except for a night-cap and skates. He has long pointed ears, grotesque features, and a tail. A dog walks in front of his master, looking up, and raising his paws as if hurt by the icy ground. In the background are tiny skaters."--British Museum online catalogue

"Four persons gazing at the prints displayed in a print-shop closely resembling though not identical with that in British Museum Satire no. 3758 (1774) which is evidently by the same artist. A man and woman (left) in macaroni dress stand together, he holds her left hand smiling, and pointing at one of the prints with his right hand. She turns aside smiling behind her fan. Two men (right) stand in conversation; one (right) points out to the other, who is in back view, both hands held up in astonishment, one of the prints in the top row, apparently that of Wesley. Other prints print of John Bunyan and George Whitefield. A dog befouls the foot of the man facing the shop-window."--British Museum online catalogue
