The profiles of an elderly and ugly pair, registering hostile anxiety, meet, their tongues touching, while between them is a punch-bowl. Just above their heads two doves bill on a branch.

"Didelot dances on the stage between two women, both very lightly clad in quasi-classical costume, and wearing 'cothurnes'. He wears a feathered hat, tunic, and cloak, and looks towards Mme Parisot (right); she strikes an attitude with right leg raised and arms extended, and looks alluringly towards him, her right breast bare. Mme Rose (left), his wife, dances with more restraint, her sharp-featured profile turned austerely towards her husband. All wave their arms above their heads, and their attitudes are in fact graceful (though caricatured). Two plump 'danseuses' (left and right) whirl on one toe in the background. Behind Didelot is an irradiated sun, with features looking down disapprovingly at the dancer."--British Museum online catalogue.

Long locks of hair escaped from the turban, and she holds a fan in her right hand. Beneath the chair is a patterned carpet.

"A scene at a faro-table; part of the table, including an angle of the central well, stretches across the foreground, players and spectators sit and stand behind it. Lady Archer is the most prominent; she holds a pack of cards in one hand, a knave in the other, looking with a triumphantly rapacious smile at a stout lady (? Mrs. Hobart) who sits (right) clenching her fists and scowling back. All the others have expressions of alarm or concern, the least agitated being the Prince of Wales, seated on Lady Archer's left. On the extreme right and next Mrs. Hobart is Fox, turning up his eyes. The guests (except the Prince) are much caricatured; one of Gillray's witch-like hags sits between the Prince and Mrs. Hobart. On the table are heaps of coins, notes or bills, and rouleaux of guineas. Above the design is etched 'The Knave wins all'. ..."--British Museum online catalogue.

George III, dressed as an old woman, the Queen, and the Prince of Wales in a fool's cap decorated with his three feathers, are seated around a basin perched on the laps of the King and Queen, marked "John Bull's Blood" and filled with gold coins. All three eagerly spoon the coins into their mouths. Pouches hanging from their necks like goitres are full, except for that of the Prince of Wales, whose is empty. In the background is a wide open gate to the Treasury.

The collection consists of two notebooks and one sketchbook kept by the American painter John Trumbull. The first notebook is titled "Early sketches and drawings" and measures 19.5 by 16 cm. It contains sixty-six pages of undated ink and graphite exercises in perspective, four pages of diary entries made during a sea voyage between Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and London from December 1783 to January 1784, and a graphite landscape drawing annotated "Dec 30th 1783 at Sea." The remainder of the volume contains graphite and ink drawings of classical figures, landscapes, and facial expression exercises dated from 1772 to 1778. The second notebook is titled "Subscription the Print of Gibraltar" and measures 18 by 11.5 cm. It contains thirty pages of lists recording the names of patrons who subscribed to an engraving made after Trumbull's 1789 history painting "Sortie made by Garrison of Gibraltar." Trumbull collected subscriptions from April 1789 through July 1796, and the engraving by William Sharp was issued in London in 1799. The sketchbook titled "More Recent Sketches" measures 14.5 by 23 cm., and is dated from 1806 to 1808; it contains graphite drawings of Norwich Falls in Connecticut, David Hosack's Elgin Botanic Garden in New York City, multiple views of Niagara Falls, and scenes around Lake George and Canajoharie in New York State.

"A companion print to BMSat 6791. Fox, North, and Burke in a poverty-stricken room: North (left), seated in a low arm-chair, leans back yawning, arms above his head, legs stretched out. On the wall above his head hangs a broken pair of bellows, emblem of his Borean blast. Burke, (right), very thin, seated on a three-legged stool, is mending the breeches which he has taken off. Behind his head is a spider in the centre of a cobweb. Between and behind them stands Fox, in the attitude of an orator, right arm raised, rehearsing a speech and regarding himself in a cracked mirror (right) which reflects his anxious and gloomy expression. Above his head a dark lantern, emblem of a conspirator, hangs on the wall (cf. BMSat 6784, &c)."--British Museum online catalogue.
