- Abstract:
- "Satire on Grand Tourists: scene outside an inn in France, with a sign reading "Poste Royale", where a young English gentleman, holding a copy of "[Lord] Chesterfield's Letters", arrives with his tutor. He is greeted by the smiling inkeeper wearing large wooden shoes stuffed with wool who holds out a menu; beside the innkeeper a positllion holding a whip climbs out of his large boots On the right, a fat servant carries two bottles of wine and four books; behind him another postillion drives the coach with two horses towards the right. In the background, a woman can be seen through the archway of the inn standing on a bench and reaching up to clip the wings of a cockerel; a door beside the arch, lettered, "Bon Chere icy chez La Grenouille / Traiteur", is open to reveal a ladder up which a cook has climbed in order to catch three cats running along a wall; he holds a knife in his hand. An image of a young Bacchus seated on a barrel has been chalked on the wall; a dog jumps up towards it. Beyond the wall is the roof of a cottage, a church tower and a cottage with a niche with a statue of a saint."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "The Duc d'Orleans (left) chases the Prince of Wales with a whip. Both wear riding-dress with top-boots. Behind them is a pond from which emerge the legs of a man who is submerged from the waist. They are on a path leading to a pavilion (right), the door of which is inscribed 'The Coffee Room'. Men stand at the door watching the scene, others look from a balcony. Behind Orleans, on the extreme left, are the profile and arms of a Frenchman, who says, "ah ha de French Man make de English run". Beneath the title is etched: 'L'abbé frere du Duc d'Orleans etant a Newmarket dans un jardin près dun bassin fit la Gageure avec S.A.R.P.G. [Prince de Galles] de chatouiller un poisson avec le doigt jusqu'à cequ'il Selaissât prendre; la gageure ayaunt ete acceptée & l'Abbé S etant mis Sur Ses genoux it [sic] commencant a agacer le poisson, lors que S.A.R. lepoussa dans la bassin. Le Duc d'Orleans qui etait present poursuit it avec Son fouet S.A.R. qui Serifugia dans un Caffe, ou le Ducs de Queensbury & Grafton & Bedford les reccomoderent, tandis que le pauvre Abbé fut conduit ches lui pour changer d'habits.'"--British Museum online catalogue
