- Abstract:
- "Tipu Sultan (left) gallops (right to left) past Cornwallis who is seated in an ornate chair on the back of an ill-drawn elephant. Tipu, rising in his stirrups, excretes a blast which displaces a boy-mahout on the elephant's neck and strikes Cornwallis. He says, "Now my Lord I'll Tip you the Swamps". The horse excretes a blast directed at the elephant's eye. The elephant, raising its trunk, says, "I wish I could run as fast as he how i would thump him." Cornwallis, with his sabre raised above his head, his left fist clenched, says, "These Monsoons are more Violent than ever I knew them before Boy turn back again." The boy says, "Yes my Lord I am going backwards Pr force." Behind Cornwallis's seat is a box inscribed 'Rice for Gruel during the Monsoons'. Behind Tipu (left) is a circular fort inscribed 'Seringapatam'."--British Museum catalogue

- Abstract:
- "In the foreground (left) is the quarter-deck of a small vessel, on which six French soldiers with ferocious gestures are taking down the British flag; a hump-backed soldier has climbed the flagstaff, and crouches with drawn sword, saying, "oh by Gar I was on de Pinnicle of my Glory". Through his ragged breeches issues the word 'Commandant'. In the lower left corner of the design is the head of an English sailor, saying, "that sweet little Cherub that sits up aloft (cf. BMSat 7677) he will shortly come wap on his Back". Two men bite the flag. Another, very emaciated, says, "aha Monr Angloise we was Men Enough (40.000) to take de whole fleet". Two other soldiers peer over the edge of the vessel. The ship is in harbour, behind her is another (English) vessel whose flag is being removed and sails furled. A British sailor stands in a boat on the extreme right, shouting, "avast Bougres well teach you to take 2 Merchant ships for a fleet of Men of War again". On the horizon are buildings inscribed 'Nantes'. Across the sky is etched 'Rehearsal'."
