- Abstract:
- "The interior of Drury Lane Theatre which is collapsing during a performance. The theatre is seen from the side of the pit, the stage and curtain being on the extreme left, and the orchestra receding diagonally in perspective from left to right. Large blocks of stone fall from the roof, with men and women clinging to them; others have already fallen and are crushing the occupants of the pit, who try to escape. On the right a gallery falls from the roof, covered with falling figures and shattered by blocks of stone. The pillars of the tiers of boxes which form a background are breaking. Tiny figures in the boxes are freely sketched in attitudes of terror. On the stage (left) is an actress holding out a goblet; an actor in Roman armour falls into the orchestra under a huge block of stone."--British Museum online catalogue.

The jockey rides with his whip in his mouth, he is pulling the horse and looks out of the corners of his eyes at the Prince of Wales. The Prince, in riding-dress, stands (right) looking slyly at the spectator, his left forefinger to his nose, his right hand pointing towards the jockey. Behind (right) are dismayed and enraged spectators, on foot and on horseback."--British Museum online catalogue.

- Abstract:
- "Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI are seated in a carriage, of the type then called 'pot de chambre', the Dauphin between and in front of them. The three galloping horses are suddenly checked by a French soldier, on horseback, and by another man beside him. A man with a dagger on the extreme left pursues the carriage. The soldier, putting his finger to his nose, leans towards the King, saying, "Aha B--gre, Croyez vous échaper comme cà". The off horse, on which the postilion is seated, falls; the man looks round shouting. The King and Queen are terror-stricken; she screams "Nous sommes tons Foutus". A servant, standing at the back of the carriage says, "Parbleu Je sens tres fort la lanterne". All have expressions of violent emotion; the Dauphin is howling. On the extreme left is a milestone: 'Sens II lieu'."--British Museum online catalogue.
