"A handsome woman sits in a bergère (left), watching two men. A young man, wearing a 'Jean-de-Bry coat (see British Museum Satires No. 9425), short double-breasted waistcoat, and long pantaloons, stands with his hands in his coat pockets, talking to an old man wearing a star who stands (right), chapeau-bras, with flexed knees, leaning on a cane. The woman says: "I wish Gentlemen you would come to some decision, - it is terrible to be kept in this suspence!" The young man: "I assure you my Lord - what I ask is extremely reasonable, - for on the world of a Gemmen - If I chose to run the risk - I might make five times the money of her in the Crim-Con line." The old man: "As you cant agree together - I think I am very good to take her off your hands at any rate, - You know Jack - I dont mind a few Guineas one way or the other - but you really over-rate the Article - it is complete forestalling! in short you'll entirely ruin the regular Markets"."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Two sailors ride (left to right) bare-back on two galloping horses, one half a length behind. The horses are rough and clumsy, with blinkers and horse-collars. One sailor (left), whose hat flies off, shouts to the other: "Hollo' you Swab, lay too a bit, can't you: I've lost part of my upper rightigging, - and the Vessel's firing signal guns of distress. - have you lost your hearing." The other says: "If the lubber had not stood to it: they were both Ponies, I should have taken mine for a Cart Horse, - by the bumping in the Stern"."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The artist [a portrait of Woodward], wearing a flowered dressing-gown, sits in profile to the right. at a sloping desk, painting on a small oval a bust portrait of a sailor who sits truculently (right), smoking a pipe, arms akimbo. The sailor wears a round hat, short jacket, knotted handkerchief, striped trousers and buckled shoes. On his cheek is a round black patch. At his elbow is a punch-bowl. He says: "Come my Hearty - mind what you are at - make good use of your Eyes - you know the terms on which I set sail - ten golden quids if you come to Anchor in ten minutes - but a minute beyond time, and you have but five you know, so heave a head do you hear - and lay in plenty of the true-blue about the jacket, - and Harkee Young-one - don't forget the beauty spot on the lar-board side of my Cheek - Poll calls it her hearts delight, - well this same painting is a fine knack to be sure - but I am rather puzzled about one thing - If you can get my hulk, head, and stern into that there little bit of ivory - d------n me, but I think you would be able to tow a seventy-four through one of the cock boat Arches of London Bridge"."--British Museum online catalogue
