"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). His plaid and wig are blown by the wind and he glares defiantly to the right ... "--British Museum online catalogue.

"Two men and a boy are on the deck of a small sailing-vessel, part of a sail appearing above their heads (left). The men wear round hats and short trousers; one (left) sits on a barrel smoking a long pipe, a tankard beside him; the other stands with a cane under his arm, his right hand on his hips. The boy (right), who is perhaps black and wears long trousers, sits on a coil of rope holding a punch-bowl."--British Museum online catalogue.

"The white horse of Hanover, laden with two panniers (inscribed 'Sterling') overflowing with guineas, and a tea-tray with a tea-service, is being led off to the right by a scampering demon, wearing a high cocked hat and a coat, his hair in a queue. Under his arm is a sack inscribed 'light gold for charities'. A signpost (right) points 'To Hesse-Cassel'. A sack, labelled 'For Secret Services', with the legs and feet of an animal or demon walks behind the horse, which directs a blast of excrement towards the royal party. In the middle distance (left) the royal family stand disconsolately in a group: Queen Charlotte, much caricatured, holds up a slender purse to the King with a gesture of despairing astonishment. The King, who wears a hunting-cap, though melancholy, appears resigned. The younger children, ragged and in tears, surround their parents. Behind them is Windsor Castle. In the foreground (left) is the corner of a debtors' prison, a begging-box outside the barred window through which look the Prince of Wales, Burke, Fox, and North; George Hanger's profile is just visible within."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Lord Lonsdale straddles across the River Eden, a foot on each bank. He raises an axe above his head in both hands to cut down a large oak inscribed 'Liberty' on the left of the river. On the right of the river, on the horizon, is the town of 'Carlisle'; in front of it the land is covered with mushrooms inscribed '1400'. On the left side of the oak is a signpost inscribed, 'The New Road to Westminster', the hand pointing along 'Corruption Lane'. A broken arm from the signpost, inscribed 'Old Road to Westminster', lies on 'Freedom Common'. The branches extending over the latter are leafy, those over the toadstools are broken and bare. Punch, with a hump, dressed in the traditional manner, capers beside the post, pointing towards Corruption Lane and trampling on a paper inscribed 'Charter'. A bridge across the river is breaking, a boat sinks."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Johnson and Boswell walk together; their landlord, wearing a knitted cap and tartan stockings, walks in front (left) holding a candle; he turns round smiling up at the couple. Johnson walks with a heavy, dignified melancholy, leaning on his stick, Boswell walks jauntily, as in BMSat 7034, his hands thrust in the pockets of his short coat, the Journal under his arm, his pen behind his ear. Behind (right) walks a bare-legged waiter holding a lantern. On the stone wall of a dark building (left) two Gothic niches are indicated."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Johnson (left) sits at a small rectangular breakfast-table with his back to the door. A nursemaid behind him holds the infant Veronica, who leans forward, pushing Johnson's wig from his head; he holds up his finger admonishingly and does not appear pleased, though all the others smile admiringly. These are: Mrs. Boswell, seated (right) opposite Johnson; Boswell standing beside Johnson and clasping his hands over 'Ogden' (cf. BMSat 7031); the two visitors, Mr. Scott and Sir William Forbes; the tousled foot-boy, who carries in a tray of tea-things which he is about to place beside the urn on the otherwise bare table. Three pictures decorate the wall: 'Sancta Veronica', kneeling in prayer before a reading-desk; a medallion inscribed 'Bruce' and a half length portrait of 'Alexander of Kincardin' dressed as a courtier."--British Museum online catalogue.
