Abstract:
"The scene is a sloping field. The batswomen are running hard, while one of the field leaps to attempt a high catch; the wicket-keeper crouches behind the wicket, hands on knees. The players have petticoats kilted above the knee, bare heads, necks, and arms; they wear flat slippers, mostly 'en cothurne'. All the fielders look or run towards the ball; one has fallen with great display of leg; another, running headlong, trips over a dog. Eleven are playing, including those batting. Two girls sit together on the ground, one cutting notches on a stick to record the runs. Others stand near, one with a young man's arm round her waist. Spectators stand round the field. In the middle distance is a marquee with a flag: 'Jolly Cricketers'. Here, fashionably dressed men are entertaining the players; a very fat woman drains a bowl of punch, another sits on a man's knee. A girl descends from a donkey. Behind is a fashionable tandem. The scene is rural except for a smoking lime-kiln."--British Museum online catalogue

"Two figures in a pleasant undulating landscape with trees. A lean elderly man (resembling Dr. Syntax), rides across grass with a smile of anticipation towards a country girl seated on the ground under a tree. She stares fixedly at him. Two dogs scamper before the horse, barking."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Villagers play quoits outside a gabled, thatched, and dilapidated inn, the sign: 'Asses Milk sold here' and 'Dirty Dick'. The quoits lie round a peg in the right foreground watched by a bull-dog. One man is about to throw. There is norie of the rustic prosperity and gaiety of other plates in the series. The players are in their working-clothes, some with aprons. A fat butcher drains a tankard (right) spilling its contents, and watched with anger by a lean man. A grossly fat woman with a donkey flirts shamelessly with two men, one a crippled beggar, while the animal eats from the fruit in a pannier on its back. A half-naked termagant leans over a paling to beat a bystander with her broom; behind her is a notice: 'Washing and mangling done here'. A woman carrying an infant angrily tries to drag away an absorbed spectator. In the background villagers drink and embrace, and a thin man rides a kicking donkey. A view of the grosser side of rural life, with the suggestion that these are the village wastrels."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a later state

Abstract:
"The stage or platform is surrounded by a dense crowd, some three rows of which form the foreground of the design. Cribb, who has cuts on the face, strikes Molineux on the throat and he falls backwards, to the dismay of his second, also a negro, and another supporter. On the right Cribb's second and bottle-holder register satisfaction. The crowd is wildly enthusiastic, and drawn with humorous realism. Some men on horseback are among the spectators immediately surrounding the stage, as are one or two carriages. Two pickpockets, a man and woman, work together in the foreground; two men are fighting. A few women are among the crowd, one astride a man's shoulders (right). The crowd and the stage which it surrounds fills the greater part of the design. There is a pleasant landscape background. On a road is a long line of tiny carriages and men on horseback, with one farm-wagon."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"A crowd watches three country girls who race (left to right) barefoot and lightly clad; a dog has tripped up a fourth. A dog runs too, with some object tied to its tail. Many of the crowd are in violent action, fighting or falling. Spectators watch from a wagon into which a very fat woman is being hoisted. Others fall from a bench (right), near which are a man on stilts with a fiddle on his back, and another blowing a coach-horn. A horse driven by a would-be fashionable in a gig plunges into the crowd, and the driver is fiercely assailed by two mounted men. In the background, on a ridge, are a few small tents with banners and spectators, indicating a village fair. Farther off (right) is a church with a double spire."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Three sailors ride away from the sea-shore (right) where a man-of-war is at anchor. All are in difficulties. A fourth is on his hands and knees on the extreme left; he looks up to say: "Mind what you are at Messmates for I am upset, and the frigate I came on board of--has been under weigh, without me this half hour." The foremost, clasping his rearing horse round the neck, looks back to say: "Keep more to the Star-board and be D--d, to you--dont you see how you make my vessel, run a head." The next man is tied to his galloping mount with heavy ropes; and he says: "Here I come my Hearty's --Right and tight,--smart sailing, but never mind that--I cant be cast away for my commander, Heavens bless him has lash'd me to the deck, with some tough Old Cables!" The last sailor's horse kicks with tail erect; he exclaims: "D--n me--how she heaves. Why this is worse than a Jolly Boat, in the Bay of Biscay. and what a D--d noise she makes in her poop--Signals for sailing I suppose"."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"Scene in the vaulted ante-room of a dungeon. The turnkey, keys in hand, accepts with wary enjoyment the blandishments of a pretty young woman, whose interest is clearly in the fate of a handsome youth seen through the bars above a padlocked barrier on the right. A grotesquely obese and misshapen man (right) approaches the turnkey with a jug and frothing glass. Behind the latter (left) is a table with a shoulder of mutton and a small cask. A cat plays amicably with a dog. Heavy fetters hang from the walls, and there is a heavily barred door; a vaulted recess leads to a second dungeon. The place is lit by hanging lamps."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
