"A German officer lies on his back on a truckle bed in a poverty-stricken room. He smokes a long curved pipe, emitting clouds of smoke. His bare feet project from the striped duvet which is his only covering; on his nightcap is an insect. The plaster has fallen from the wall leaving large patches of brick; on it hang his sword, cloak, cocked hat, and a bust portrait of Frederick the Great inscribed 'F. 11'. The only objects on the boarded floor are a close-stool (left) with a torn 'Brussells Gazette', a chamber-pot, and pair of jack-boots (right)."--British Museum online catalogue.

"One of a set of four hunting-scenes with punning titles, with the same signatures and imprint; they have pleasant landscape backgrounds, with clouds. A rider (left) has been flung over his horse's head and lies on his face screaming; the horse falls into a deep ditch edged by a fence (right). From one pocket spout the contents of a bottle of wine, from the other two hounds are tugging a cold chicken, other hounds are making with fierce intentness towards the chicken. A second rider just behind the fence pulls up his horse in alarm, a third in the background leaps over fence and ditch. See BMSats 9589-91; cf. BMSat 9592, &c."--British Museum online catalogue.

"One of a set of four with the same signatures and imprint; the same two 'cits' are depicted throughout, one rather thin and fashionably dressed, wearing Hessian boots with pointed toes, and a cartouche-box which denotes the volunteer; the other is older, a fat John Bull in top-boots. The former has a poodle fantastically clipped, the latter a bulldog. The landscape probably gives a good idea of the NE. surroundings of London. The younger man advances on tiptoe towards the carcass of a horse beset by many crows: he holds his gun reversed, and it goes off peppering the posteriors of his friend who is being overturned by his dog while crossing a stile. An old sign-post points (left) 'To Hornsey Wood'; on it is a bill: 'Ball. . Powder & Shot'. The surroundings are rural, but on the extreme right is the dome of St. Paul's."--British Museum online catalogue.
