"A man walks away from the spectator, slightly to the right, showing a whiskered right cheek. He wears a high round hat with a curved brim, sparrow-tail coat, and spurred top-boots. His shoulders are sprinkled with hair-powder (see BMSat 8190, &c). In his right hand is a riding-switch. He is in shadow. On the extreme right is the arm and left leg of a man in the exact position of his shadow, dressed in the same way."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Pitt, fast asleep, wearing only nightcap and night-shirt, walks down a staircase holding up a lighted candle in his right hand. On his right only are banisters, on his left the steps abut on a gulf indicated by the top of an arch supporting the stair; he is about to descend the first step, perilously near the left edge. Behind him, in a wall of heavy masonry, is an open door surmounted by a crown. A tall gothic window pierces the wall of the building."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Lord Howe sits full-face in an armchair, reading a 'Gazette' headed 'June Ist 1795'. He wears naval uniform, with a hat, smokes a long pipe and scowls meditatively. A dog with the head of Sir Roger Curtis grovels at his feet, kissing his right toe; he has a collar inscribed 'Black Dick's Dog'. Behind Howe is a row of windows close together, with a view of the sea and ships. Beneath the windows is a broad shelf on which are wine-bottles, a sextant, and a punch-bowl. On a table at Howe's right hand are a glass of wine and a plan of Torbay."--British Museum online catalogue.
