"A barrister, haggard and exhausted, yawns over a 'Brief', reclining in an arm-chair, extending his bare legs to the fire (right) where a coffee-pot stands. Beside him is a 'Bill of Costs'. Evidence of overnight dissipation are a (Turkish) masquerade dress and mask on the floor and a young woman, partly dressed, arranging her hair at a mirror placed on the breakfast-table. Her foot rests on a large volume: 'Crim Con Cases'. The room is lined with heavy folios, a serjeant's wig hangs by the window; there is a notice: 'Term begins -- A convenient Sett of Chambe[rs] To Lett'. A bust portrait of a severe old judge is over the chimney-piece on which stand books, bottles of 'Cherry Bounce', and 'Restorative Drops'. On the ground are empty bottles, top-boots, a gun, a dog. Riding-breeches and a jockey-cap hang from a peg."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a later state.

"A stout stage-coachman, perhaps an amateur, holding a bowl, stands by the door of an inn, taking the chin of the very buxom landlady. He has a team-whip and wears a round hat and many-caped overcoat reaching to the feet. Above their heads swings the (pictorial) signboard: 'Widow Casey at the Sign of the Cock and Bottle' [in reversed characters]. Just within the door stands a young maidservant, smiling at the encounter. Above the door: 'Genteel Accomodations'. On the wall is a bill headed 'York Races'. In the background (right) appears the empty box-seat of the coach with three of the horses, with a groom and dog."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.

"A plebeian family of 'cits' drive in a rough two-wheeled cart (aping a fashionable gig) drawn by a clumsy carthorse. The man drives, wearing cocked hat and top-boots; his wife, wearing large feathers in her small straw cap, holds up a fan. Both are absurdly complacent. A boy and girl are crammed in. Behind rides a fat and grinning footman, with plodding dog. On the extreme right a newsboy with the 'London Gazette' blows his horn. Behind (left) is an open doorway inscribed 'Mash Brewer'; within are casks. The wall is inscribed 'Puddle Dock', and on it are two bills: 'Theatre Royal Covent Garden the Comedy of the Bankrupt with High Life Below Stairs and A House to be let in Grosvenor Square Suitable for a Genteel Family' (they appear to be bound for this house). Houses form a background."--British Museum online catalogue.
