"A Thames pair-oar wherry, with two passengers, a man and woman, is about to collide with a sturdier boat in which are three men and a stout trollop, whose shouts and gesture shock the passengers in the wherry. The river is wide, with trees on the opposite shore and a sailing-barge in the middle distance."--British Museum online catalogue, description of variant state.
