- Abstract:
- "Men and women eating in the open air, at a table, some sitting, others standing. In the background are the tents of a camp; in the middle distance (right) eight men and women holding hands are dancing in a ring. A man of grotesque appearance, one eye covered with a circular patch, sits full-face, plying a knife and fork. Behind him stands Wilkes, who is chucking a pretty maid-servant under the chin so that she spills the wine which she has just poured out. This attracts the amused attention of a man standing behind Wilkes, and of one sitting at the table. The other figures are indicated only by their heads, which are perhaps portraits: there are two women of attractive appearance, one, whose high-dressed hair is decorated with feathers, the other with a hat trimmed with a cockade and feathers; a grotesque-looking old man with unkempt hair who is drinking wine; an old man with a grenadier's cap. A man seated on the bench shows only a wig and a broad back. On the bench is also a sucking-pig which a dog is seizing. On the ground are bottles, a pile of plates, and a brimming punch-bowl. Two cocks (right) are fighting. Beneath the title is engraved "Oh what a charming Thing is eating"."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "A thin man wearing a coat with military facings, draws after him (right to left.) a small four-wheeled carriage, similar to a bath-chair or perambulator, inscribed Cox Heath. In it sits a child with a doll. A dog stands at her feet barking at the man who draws the carriage, who has a bundle strapped to his back, apparently containing hay. At the back of the carriage in the place of a footman stands a ragged dwarfish man. On the farther side of the carriage is a recruiting sergeant playing a fife. In the foreground (right) a fat woman, the wife of the man drawing the carriage, walks along carrying a basket containing bottles and a large umbrella in her right hand; a musket is tucked under her left arm. She and the three men all wear oak-leaves in their hats. In the distance the tents of the camp are indicated. An inscription beneath the title has been cut off. One of a number of satires on the militia and the camp of Coxheath, see BMSat 5523, &c."--British Museum online catalogue

- "A soldier on a great horse holds a rope attached to the legs of two prisoners who sit behind him facing the animal's tail; a drawn sword is in his right hand. Behind (right) is a haystack, on the top of which are two other Spaniards, much alarmed at the approach of a countryman who threatens them with his pitch-fork. A man and woman (left), both wearing coats with military facings, watch the scene; she points, he looks through a small telescope. In the foreground a sow and three young pigs are galloping. In the background is the sea, with fishing-boats."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "The interior of a fruiterer's shop. Behind a counter sits a man (left) with long goat's horns and a goat's beard. He holds up his hand with an expression of dismay at a man who shows him a bust portrait of himself with horns and beard. The man, who wears a cockaded hat, is laughing. His arm is held by a man who stands behind him smiling and pointing a cane at the horned man, or 'Minogoat'. The latter's hand rests upon the counter on a sheaf of newspapers: 'Gazeter', 'London Spy', 'Morning Her[ald]', 'London Chronicle', 'London Gaz[ette]', A dwarfish newsboy stands in front of the counter blowing his horn, and offering him the 'Morning Post'. The boy is very bandy-legged; his cap is decorated with a leek, suggesting that it is St. David's day. On the ground (right) is a basket containing pottles of fruit which a goat is befouling. In what appears to be an inner room or recess (right) a table is laid with dishes of fruit, glasses, and an urn; four people are seated at it: a man and woman laughing and talking together in an absorbed way; a man who points out this couple to a companion. Wilkes (unmistakable from his squint) stands behind holding out his hat. Fruit hangs in the panes of the shop window which is immediately behind the Minogoat, who appears to be a Welsh shop-keeper. On the upper and lower margins of the print ten lines of verse are engraved".--British Museum online catalogue
