"The Prince stands with folded arms, in the corner of a room, gazing up at a three-quarter length portrait of Lady Jersey as a pretty young woman; she looks down at him alluringly. The portrait hangs over the chimney-piece (right), a fire burns in the grate. From his right hand dangles disregarded an oval miniature of the Princess of Brunswick. Beside the Prince, who turns his back on him, stands a grotesque German courier, who holds up a tiny pair of stockings on the feet of which are shoes. The German has moustaches, a pigtail queue reaching to the ground, he wears spurred top-boots and holds a glove; he gapes with astonishment at the portrait. On the two walls other pictures are arranged in two rows, the lower part only of the upper row being visible. These are (above): 'Pretty Millener', a reclining figure; 'Portrait of a Lady & Child', a pregnant lady leads a child; 'Mrs Crouch' (three-quarter length). Below, 'Mrs Robinson' (three-quarter length); 'Florizel & Perdita', the pair with arms entwined, the King and (?) Queen crouch behind a tree to spy on them; 'Fitsherbet' [sic], who stands, looking to the left, holding a rosary."--British Museum online catalogue

"Townsend, the Bow Street Officer, holding up his constable's staff, chases a man away from a country house, a corner of which appears on the right. A third man, Wellesley-Pole, shelters behind the constable, stretching out his arms towards his fleeing rival; he turns his head to listen to a pretty young woman who stands on a small iron balcony immediately behind him, with an open sash-window behind her. She says: "Risk not thy Precious life my Love in bold encounter with that dareing Scott." He answers: "no no my dear I'll shelter me behind the arm of Justice, & hunt him from his Scent by one of the most famous Bull Dogs in the Kingdom, & teach him never never to Dare to woo the [sic] from my Longing Arms Oh thou Golden Angel." A paper inscribed 'Scot' projects from the fugitive's pocket. Townsend says: "I'll teach you worsted working rascall to dare to set up in opposition to the Irish Secretary D-n your Impudence." A signpost points (left) to 'Norwhich' and (right) 'To Chippenham'."--British Museum online catalogue

"A composite figure with two heads, one that of Lord Howe, the other that of George III, stands between two groups of naval officers; both heads are in profile. The King turns to the right, taking a petition from a kneeling officer with a wooden leg and saying "I never interfere with your first Lord no never". Five officers standing behind this petitioner say (left to right): "I see I shall lose my Rank after all my long Services"; "I am set aside altho' I've lost a Son & one Eye"; "Humbugd by Jove by [the] old Jesuit"; "Had I my Arm again Fd find a better Country"; "Brothers, Our Lords & Commons will not suffer this Game". The last speaker has one leg and stands with a crutch. Howe, scowling with downcast head, says, "Go, go, I can do nothing. It is his Majesty's pleasure, that------" An officer steps forward holding out a petition, he says, "Rascall". Four others standing behind the petitioner say (left to right): "He's fond of Manoeuvres if ever so bad, you know him"; "The King's pleasure! That's a Falsity added to a mean Finesse"; "Our Navy has now two Heads & no Helm, rare Work"; "Vultus est Index Animi".--British Museum online catalogue
