"An aged and moribund woman (T.Q.L.) sits in an arm-chair directed to the left. A doctor, stout, middle-aged, and sensual, holds her wrist, while putting his arm round a buxom young woman who leans on the back of the chair. They gaze into each other's eyes. On the table at the old woman's elbow are medicine phials, a bowl of 'Composing Draught', and a pill-box inscribed 'Opium'. The doctor has a gold-headed cane inscribed 'Medical Staff'."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.

"A clumsy lumbering diligence, with four horses, leaves the porte-cochère of an inn, part of whose ornate façade is on the left. The sign, 'Le Qoque [sic] en Pate', hangs from a wrought-iron bracket. Two postilions ride the near horses, flourishing their whips. The coach is full inside and out with typical French characters, humorously drawn, soldiers, monks, and women, with couples absorbed in conversation. An old couple beg from the passengers. A lean sow with small pigs scampers beside the coach. In the background (left) is the west end of a small church with a Calvary beside it at which nuns kneel in prayer; a group of monks approaches holding a cross. Down the hill leading from inn and church a post-chaise and pair and a post-boy on a horse are galloping, the latter wearing the huge 'milk-churn' boots which astonished visitors to France. A row of very ancient gabled houses forms part of the background, while on the extreme right is a large building of more recent date."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Seven enormously fat and brawny Irishwomen approach (right to left) the quayside at Billingsgate, below which are fishing-smacks. All carry baskets on their heads, two smoke pipes. An eighth woman, also smoking, sits on a low stool on the extreme left, with cod and lobsters spread out for sale. In the background (right) an open pent-house attached to the large houses flanking the dock is filled by tiny figures with baskets of fish; a man ascends a ladder towards it from the water with a basket on his head.

"A man sells rabbits at the door of a corner-house (right); an ugly old woman sniffs at a rabbit, saying, "Sweet indeed why it smells Quite Strong"; a pretty young maidservant stands beside her. The man answers: "Yes Ma'am and so would you were you held in the same position". He holds the rabbits slung to the ends of a pole held across his shoulder, with another bunch in his left hand. A dog bites at the rabbits behind the man's back to the amusement of a chimney-sweep's boy (left), who passes by, bent under his bag of soot. The houses on the opposite side of the cobbled street are old-fashioned, gabled, and irregular; against one (left) is a bulk or stall inscribed 'Coblers Work Done here', the cobbler leans out to talk to a woman. Next is the sign of 'The Flowerpot'."--British Museum online catalogue.
