- Abstract:
- "A clumsy lumbering diligence, with four horses, leaves the porte-cochère of an inn, part of whose ornate façade is on the left. The sign, 'Le Qoque [sic] en Pate', hangs from a wrought-iron bracket. Two postilions ride the near horses, flourishing their whips. The coach is full inside and out with typical French characters, humorously drawn, soldiers, monks, and women, with couples absorbed in conversation. An old couple beg from the passengers. A lean sow with small pigs scampers beside the coach. In the background (left) is the west end of a small church with a Calvary beside it at which nuns kneel in prayer; a group of monks approaches holding a cross. Down the hill leading from inn and church a post-chaise and pair and a post-boy on a horse are galloping, the latter wearing the huge 'milk-churn' boots which astonished visitors to France. A row of very ancient gabled houses forms part of the background, while on the extreme right is a large building of more recent date."--British Museum online catalogue.

- "A view of a fair with the line of booths on the left and nearer the spectator. An embryo 'Great Wheel' is in action on the right, with four cars (or boxes with half doors) slung from cross-beams which pivet on a post, the motion being given by a crank at the hub, worked by a man standing on a little platform. Each car contains one elderly occupant, except one which has broken: a young girl falls through the air, a youth lies on his back below her. Spectators register alarm or amusement. An oyster-woman looks up from her stall (left). A well-dressed thief picks the pocket of a man absorbed in the accident, passing the plunder to a confederate leaning from the window of an inn on the extreme left. This has the sign of the crown, inscribed 'T. Slano'. In a first-floor window a couple are embracing. Adjacent booths belong to 'Polito': Harlequin, Punch, and other figures are performing, watched by a few spectators. In the foreground (right) a fat women sells sticks to men and boys who throw at objects (? gingerbread) poised on spikes. In the background is a rustic horse-race."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.

- Abstract:
- "A corner of a theatre made of timber fills the greater part of the design. Flames stream from windows on the first floor under which runs a balcony giving access to the door. From the door a staircase slants to the ground. A terrified crowd rush through the doorway and precipitate themselves headlong down the stairs, to fall in a heap at the bottom. A young woman drops from the balcony, two men standing below grip her legs, an elderly musician assists her, losing his fiddle. Another woman climbs over the balcony rail. There are other (comic) incidents. The theatre is placarded 'Cockburns Company'. A large playbill is inscribed 'Last Night--Pizzarro [see British Museum Satires No. 9396, &c.]--Don Juan--A Shower of Real Fire and a View of the Infernal Regions'. In the background (left) fugitives run in frantic haste across the grass towards a row of booths, inscribed 'Pinello', 'Genello Compan[y]', 'Cromer', where players and spectators watch the conflagration."--British Museum online catalogue.
