"Troops, crowded in carts, &c, approach Portsmouth, where distant ships are at anchor. In the foreground are country carts drawn by soldiers at a gallop. Other soldiers are in and on a coach, the 'Portsmouth Fly'; a drum and fife are being played on the roof; large flags float from the windows. This is followed by officers in a perch phaeton. Young women take leave of soldiers. A drummer gallops on a donkey with a young bandsman in each pannier. In the middle distance, besides other vehicles, are two of the new four-horsed conveyances for soldiers, who sit as in an Irish jaunting-car, see BMSat 9238. In the foreground (right) is the corner of a small thatched ale-house, 'The Jolly Soldier'. An old soldier with a wooden leg sits fiddling at the door, while the host and his family wave farewell."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A bust portrait of the Duke of Clarence in profile to the left. He wears powdered hair with small tail, a cylindrical hat, high stock with a shirt-frill. He is caricatured, with heavy jowl, protruding lips, and small slanting eye: the manner, that of realistic, even suave, portraiture, makes the caricature more cruel."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A colossal figure of Catherine II steps from 'Russia', a rocky mound on the extreme left, to 'Constantinople', her toe resting on the horn of a crescent which surmounts a spire on a group of buildings, with a dome and a minaret. Her head is turned in profile to the right; in her left hand is an orb, in her right she holds out a sceptre over Constantinople, at which she looks with a determined frown. Beneath her petticoats, and strung out between 'Russia' and 'Constantinople' are the heads and shoulders of seven sovereigns, gazing up at her. On the extreme left is a man wearing the cap of the Doge of Venice, saying, "To what a length Power may be carried". Next is the Pope wearing his triple crown, saying, "I shall never forget it". Next is the King of Spain, saying, "By Saint Jago, I'll strip her of her Fur!" Louis XVI says "Never saw any thing like it". George III says "What! What! What! What a prodigious expansion!" The Emperor says "Wonderful elevation". The Sultan says "The whole Turkish Army wouldn't satisfy her"."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A street scene. A stout ugly man on the extreme left turns to look through an eye-glass at a woman with a lean and grotesque profile. She wears a straw bonnet and is blown by the wind, her dress defining her figure, her hands in a large muff. Two men (right) walking hurriedly to the left are much caricatured; one rejects the outstretched hat of a ragged female crossing-sweeper. On the extreme right an ugly military officer puts his arm round a handsome courtesan. The windows of a corner-shop form a background: 'Chevalier Stinkpot Perfumer in General to the Court of St James's'. Large jars and bottles fill the window, some being inscribed 'court Sticking Plaister, Goula . . Lotion, Rouge, Pearl Dentrifice, Maccass[ar] Oil, Pomade Devine'."--British Museum online catalogue.
