"Boswell and two men in Highland dress dance a Highland fling on the summit of a low mountain, with the sea and a low spur of land on the horizon. Boswell, full-face, capers; his wig and pendant ink-pot with the pen in it, stream in the wind. He flourishes his 'Journal'; his left hand is in that of one of his companions (right); the other (left) dances a 'pas seul' looking at Boswell; both hold long sticks. A piper on the extreme left, standing just below the summit of the hill, plays the pipes."--British Museum online catalogue

"Lady Strathmore sits drinking with her servants; she leans back in her chair, a small flagon (indicating gin) in her right hand, a glass in her left; her breasts are bare and are sucked by two cats. A little boy (left) stands beside her chair crying; he says, "I wish I was a Cat my Mama would Love me then". A footman, wearing a nightcap and holding a candle, puts his hand on her arm, saying, "My Lady its time to come to Bed". A number of women-servants are seated at a rectangular table, the most prominent being one whose head and arms have advanced from her body and lean on the table; she holds out a glass to touch that of Lady Strathmore; in her right hand is a decanter; on her lap is a paper: 'Duty of a Ladies Maid, by M. Morgan see Old Baly Chronle'. Four other servants drink in a debauched manner, one holds a broom, another a spit. A man (right) looks round a folding screen, his hand raised in surprise. On the extreme left a man stands with his hands on his hips, spectacles pushed up on his forehead; he looks at a map on the wall of the '[Bowe]s Estate', showing 'Newcastle' and 'Durham', and says, "We'll have it Farmer and nearer". He is either Stoney (afterwards Stoney-Bowes) or some other fortune-hunter. On the wall there is also a picture, 'Messalina'."--British Museum online catalogue

"Boswell stands on the stony shore of a loch; on the right is a small stone hut; in the background are rocky mountains. He stands with legs astride, holding out a roll of paper inscribed 'Journal'; his left hand is on his hip, and tied to his arm in the guise of a shield or target is a large bundle of manuscripts: 'Materials for the Life of Saml Johnson L.L.D.' He is dressed as in BMSat 7031 with the addition of a tartan plaid; a feather takes the place of the bells in his cap. From his pocket protrudes 'Ogden on Prayer' (see BMSat 7031).
