Abstract:
"Two burly women, almost naked above the waist, fight vigorously, surrounded by a yelling crowd. The scene is an irregular space surrounded by old-fashioned houses, and crowded with spectators, eager or disgusted. In the foreground (left) an apple-woman's barrow is upset and she sprawls across it to grab the head of a little boy who is collecting apples. Among the crowd are a porter carrying a trunk on his knot, and a woman with a basket of vegetables on her head. Adjacent houses have inscriptions: 'British Gin', 'Licensed Lottery Office Tickets Shares', and (with the sign of three balls) 'Mony Lent on Pledges Gripp Licensed Pawn Brokers'."--British Museum online catalogue

The collision of several coaches results in a scene of mayhem on a city street as the coachmen brandish their whips, much to the horror of their well-dressed passengers. As a result of the collisions, two vendors and their wares are thrown on a third vendor, all tumbling onto the sidewalk in front of the corner shop "Peter Thump Gold Beater". A workman carrying bricks up a ladder is also in peril. Gold beaters in the corner shop look on while continuing their work. On the right two dancing dogs continue their performance

"A fat woman laden with basket, bottles, bundle, &c. descends steps to the waterside, blown by the wind and beset by five bawling watermen, who point towards their boats. Behind (right), other men hail an approaching passenger. The bows of two Thames wherries are on the left; in one a young waterman stands punting his boat. The watermen wear short full-skirted coats with knee-breeches and have large oval badges on the arm. Part of an old timber building forms a background to the group on the stairs. It has a large placard: 'Wapping Old Stairs'. From a projecting upper floor a man and girl look down, amused, the man smoking a long pipe. In the foreground (right) a chubby fisherman's boy sleeps in a dinghy on a pile of nets. There is a background of ships at anchor, a riverside church flying a flag, and a timber building with a large beam projecting over the water from which hangs a barrel."--British Museum online catalogue
