"A half length portrait in an oval of the Duke of Cumberland in profile to the left, scarcely caricatured, but with a half-closed eye which gives an expression of arrogance. He wears a hat whose curving brim shades his eyes and rests on his high coat-collar. His chin is swathed in a stock, and an eye-glass hangs from a ribbon."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Sir David Dundas on horseback, in profile to the left, drills a line of cavalry at some distance. He holds a gold-headed cane in place of a whip and sits his horse in the manner of a bad rider. His foot is thrust forward so that his boot projects beyond the animal's chest (cf. Nos. 7233, 7242); he holds the curb rein only, and this is merely placed between his hand and the cane; the snaffle lies on the horse's neck. The animal is clumsy, with shaggy fetlocks. Under the saddle is a leopard-skin. Dundas is on rising ground above the level of the soldiers who are drawn up facing some tents."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a later state of the same composition.

"A companion plate to British Museum Satires No. 11924 by Rowlandson, with the same imprint. Lord Petersham stands full-face, as if on a flight of steps, the right foot advanced below the left, right hand on hip, holding a long cane, his hat in his left hand. He looks to the left, with a pleasing smile (for which he was noted). He has large whiskers, and wears a (brown) double-breasted tail-coat with high collar and sleeves gathered at the shoulders to form a peak, in the manner of a Jean de Bry coat, see British Museum Satires No. 9425, with long close-fitting breeches and spurred Hessian boots with large tassels."--British Museum online catalogue.

"An elderly man walks stiffly in profile to the right on a flagged pavement. Under his left arm he carries horizontally a large umbrella. In his (gloved) right hand is a glove. He wears a round hat, his straight coat is not of modern cut; his straight legs are engulfed in wide boots of Hessian pattern but not of fashionable shape. He wears whiskers with a small and neat side-curl and queue."--British Museum online catalogue.

"The interior of a sale-room lit by a candelabra hanging from the ceiling. The buyers and connoisseurs sit on the outer side of a line of trestle-tables arranged in the arc of a circle. Others stand behind them. In the centre sits the auctioneer Hutchins, stout and smiling, his hammer raised. The clerk (Judd) sits facing him in shadow, writing at a small table lit by two candles. Two attendants stand on the inner side of the trestles showing the lots. One (left) shows a large volume to a group of five, the centre figure being the spectacled Dr. Lort. On the walls of the room are framed pictures, including one of a reclining Venus. On the high chimney-piece are statuettes. The persons are portraits, slightly caricatured, and drawn with humour and expressiveness."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A spectacled man, wearing riding-dress with spurred top-boots, seizes a stout lady by the hair and flourishes a riding-whip, saying, "Pro bono Patriae". A younger man (left) puts his hand on his shoulder, saying, "I'll support you". He is wildly cheered by an election crowd (left), who wave their hats. The lady's feathered bonnet lies on the ground, her hair streams down her back, and she holds out her arms in terror. A group of cathedral clergy stand on the right watching with gestures and expressions of alarm and disapproval. Behind is a square church tower (right) with pinnacles."--British Museum online catalogue.
