- Abstract:
- "A wide space leads to the harbour. On one side (left) is the corner of a large old clothes shop: 'Moses Levy Money Lent', with garments, &c., hanging from it. Opposite is the old-fashioned 'Ship Tavern'. Off shore are ships in full sail, boats are making towards them. In the foreground is a bustle of departure: baggage is being carried, casks are rolled, sailors and their women embrace or fight; a one-legged sailor plays a fiddle, a child plays with dogs. At the door of the 'Ship' an officer takes leave of his family; from the bow-window above spectators lean out, an officer using a telescope."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.

- Abstract:
- "Seven enormously fat and brawny Irishwomen approach (right to left) the quayside at Billingsgate, below which are fishing-smacks. All carry baskets on their heads, two smoke pipes. An eighth woman, also smoking, sits on a low stool on the extreme left, with cod and lobsters spread out for sale. In the background (right) an open pent-house attached to the large houses flanking the dock is filled by tiny figures with baskets of fish; a man ascends a ladder towards it from the water with a basket on his head. One of the pent-house stalls is placarded 'Salt Cod Bar . . Ling Pilcha[rds]'. In the background larger vessels lie at anchor against buildings on the south side of the Thames."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.
