- Abstract:
- "Six men at a dinner-table, four in regimentals. An officer stands (right) to give a toast, the man seated on his left having said "Come Jack favor us with a Toast". He responds: "Here is the Lady that can raise Five Hundred Members!!" A civilian on his right says: "very fair--very fair". The man at the foot of the table (left) asks his civilian neighbour "How much did you give to be Gazzetted. The man answers gloomily: Five hundred hard cash!!" The sixth man says: "I did not think it would have been done up so soon-- I had promised at least a Dozen promotions"."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- A view of the interior of a busy English barracks shows a more domestic than military atmosphere although weapons and other gear adorn the walls and lay scattered on the floor. The scene includes a woman nursing a baby (left); beside her, one soldier brushes his britches while another adjusts his helmet. A second woman (center) carries a child on her back as she hands a drink to a soldier who sits on a bunk; a basket of rolls (?) hangs from her arm. A third woman (left) stands at a washing tub wringing out clothes as she looks up approvingly at a young boy dressed as a soldier; beside her a handsome, well-dressed solder holds a baby who smiles at the scene
