"A similar scene to BM Satires 14721, with awkward, exhibitionist, and dandified riders in place of carriages; one pedestrian, a lady, is in the foreground (right). Legs are thrust forward, toes turned out, down, or up. A man gallops holding one rein and an eye-glass with studied negligence, his left hand in his trouser pocket. Beside him is a lady, turning in her saddle to look through an eye-glass; a long green veil streams from her bell-shaped top-hat. A horse falls on its head, the falling man is taking snuff. Two dogs fight in the foreground. There are heavy clouds."--British Museum online catalogue

"Three men sit at a table absorbed in an oyster feast, while Richard Martin ..., sensing cruelty to oysters, enters, followed by a constable with his staff (left). Papers hang from his pocket: M . . . . s Bill to prevent Cruelty to Animals, and a book projects: Gullivers Travels--A Voyage to . . . Ho[uyhnhnms]. Martin points imperiously to the table, the constable makes a wry face. A lean elderly man ... sits with his back to the door on a piano-stool on which are sheets of music. At his feet is a paper: The Oyster crossed in Love as sung by Messs Sinclair & Gamon at Covent Garden O gentle Swain yr Knife [refrain] Nor Wound a Heart so soft as mine. Dr E----y, wearing tartan, stands over a tub of Natives, opening oysters. The third man's face is concealed.

"A similar scene to BM Satires 12349, but more calamitous and in a larger cabin. Through the roof-light of the cabin passengers under umbrellas are seen on deck. A sailor stands on a table to hand up a bucket, spilling the contents disastrously, to another who leans through the aperture, dropping a mop on a woman below. Tables tilt violently, upsetting those seated at them. A ham, a sucking-pig, a German sausage, a bottle of wine, &c, slide or crash to the floor. A man holds up a bottle of Spruce [beer], so that its exploding contents strike the face of a falling woman. There are many other incidents. Passengers lie in the two tiers of berths or struggle from them; others sit on lateral benches or sleep on the floor."--British Museum online catalogue

The fishwives stalls are in the foreground with the masts of ship vessels behind, and among them one tall smoking funnel. The market buildings are on the right. The foreground is more crowded than in other Billingsgate prints. The chief feature is an irate woman seated on an upturned tub beside her stall, berating a lady in a riding-habit who holds a huge fish's head. Beside the latter is another lady, disconcerted. Two liveried servants are amond the crowd. Lady Caroline Lamb and a young marchioness, both 'in disguise', go to the market to hear the traditional language of the fishwives, this Lady Caroline provokes by disparaging a fish. On the left is a fashionably dressed young man, resembling R.C. On the left, a drunken woman sits with her glass raised. From British Museum catalogue

"An undergraduate leans from a bow window holding a rope attached to a basket containing a gaily dressed courtesan. In its descent it has knocked down the Proctor, who sits on the pavement, the woman falling on top of him. A 'bull-dog' with a constable's staff flashes a lantern on the window and on the woman; another stands just behind. An undergraduate watches from roudnd the corner of the building (right); a well-dressed couple hurry down the side street, looking back with interest."--British Museum catalogue
