"One of a set of four with the same signatures and imprint; the same two 'cits' are depicted throughout, one rather thin and fashionably dressed, wearing Hessian boots with pointed toes, and a cartouche-box which denotes the volunteer; the other is older, a fat John Bull in top-boots. The former has a poodle fantastically clipped, the latter a bulldog. The landscape probably gives a good idea of the NE. surroundings of London. The younger man advances on tiptoe towards the carcass of a horse beset by many crows: he holds his gun reversed, and it goes off peppering the posteriors of his friend who is being overturned by his dog while crossing a stile. An old sign-post points (left) 'To Hornsey Wood'; on it is a bill: 'Ball. . Powder & Shot'. The surroundings are rural, but on the extreme right is the dome of St. Paul's."--British Museum online catalogue.

"George Walpole stands defiantly, head in profile to the right, feet splayed awkwardly. He wears Roman armour with medieval greaves and a huge sabre; in his left hand is a large oval shield, in his right he supports a vertical tilting-lance, the head of which is cut off by the upper margin. His fantastic helmet is partly a cocked hat with a tricolour cockade; on it crouches a simian demon with webbed wings and long barbed tail, wearing a cap like the cornucopia of BMSat 9374, and spitting fire. Behind him (left) is a gobbling turkey-cock. Clouds form a background."--British Museum online catalogue.
