"Another and probably later version of BMSat 5606; the two men have labels coming from their mouths containing words, and are more correctly drawn. The house on the right. is a more important building and its door has a plate inscribed "Lieut: Genl Bombardi. . N° 40". Grey Cooper stands at a different angle, showing more than his profile, his forefinger is laid against his cheek. He is saying "Then - My Led and I - his Ledship introduced the Affair you and I know of". Sir R. Hamilton (Bombardinian) answers "Hum-Aye-Mum". The same quotation from Churchill is engraved under the title. An inscription etched in the lower right. corner has been obliterated, the last words seem to resemble "J. Sayers."."--British Museum online catalogue.
