"The Prince of Wales, Mrs. Fitzherbert (three quarter length figures), and Fox are seated at a rectangular table playing cards. Fox, who is full face, sits behind the table between the Prince (left) and his partner (right). He has taken three tricks, and holds one card above his head, about to play it, looking fixedly at Mrs. Fitzherbert. His other hand is under the table. His opponents hold two cards, and have taken no tricks. The profiles of the Prince and his partner are blank, except for the eyelashes of the concealed eye of each. Fox's features, especially his eyes, are marked and swarthy. Above his head, and between two pilasters which decorate the wall, is a picture of a fox running off with a goose, while a bystander lashes at him with a whip; in the background is a windmill."--British Museum online catalogue and The picture of a fox running off with a goose, while a bystander lashes at him with a whip amplifies the subject; the title is a reference to the song "Black Jack.".

Racist caricature lampooning the inept attempt by African Americans to mimic the leisure culture of white high society depicting an African American tea party hosted by "Mr. Ludovico" and "Miss Rosabella." To the far right of the table, "Miss Rosabella" pours steaming hot tea into a cup which tips over and spills onto a startled cat on the floor. To her right, "Mr. Ludovico" attends to the needs of "Miss Araminta" who protests his taking the trouble. Next to them, a disgruntled guest demands "anoder cup" of tea. An African American servant and the other guests, a mother holding her baby and her small son, observe and comment about the spilled tea on the cat and the flirtatious behavior of "Mr. Ludovico."

A sailor sits on the ground outside a house from which a man (doctor) emerges to offer assistance. He has an amused look on his face as he holds his broken peg leg. One of his two companions puts up his hand to hold off the assistance of the doctor as his other companion beckons to a carpenter who carries a plank of wood and a saw in addition to his lunch pail. A woman stands at the window looking out on the scene, her finger to her nose and a slight smile on her face. A small dog walks along the road beside the approaching carpenter

"Three visitors regard with amusement a soldier who acts as barber. A soldier sits (left) outside a tent, his hair lank and undressed, his chin lathered, a cloth round his neck. The barber stands flourishing a razor; he is in full regimentals, wearing a busby, with intrenching tools (a spade and axe) thrust through his belt. Facing him in profile to the left stands a lady with a man in riding-dress on each side of her; one points, the others raise their hands in amused surprise. A grinning black boy in livery, wearing a turban and carrying a riding-whip, stands behind them. A sentry stands on duty beside the tent with his musket across his shoulder. Another soldier stands on the extreme right, his hands crossed on his breast. A row of tents, backed by trees and the contour of a hill, forms a background. In the middle distance an officer with another soldier appears to be inspecting the camp."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
