"Two fighting-cocks, with the heads of Napoleon and Pitt, face each other across the English Channel. Napoleon (left) has a large ruff of tricolour feathers and enormously long spurs, but his wings and tail feathers are clipped. His cliff is the higher; he leans forward, saying, "Eh Master Billy, if I could but take a flight over this Brook I would soon stop your Crowing, I would Knock you off that Perch, I swear by Mahomet, the Pope and all the Idols I have ever Worshiped." Pitt stands on a large royal crown which brings his feet almost to a level with those of Bonaparte; he stands erect, thus towering above his rival; he has very short spurs but a fine tail and wings; he crows: "Tuck a roo - too that you never can do!!!" Below them lies the sea with a fleet of ships in full sail close to the English coast."--British Museum online catalogue

"An old Parson, of Dr. Syntax type, falls into the water from his horse which rolls in the stream. His hat, wig, and 'Funeral Sermon' are in the water, where a dog chases geese. On a rustic bridge (right) two women and a child are watching in alarm, a milk-pail falls from the head of one of them. In the background (left) two horses gallop up a slope pursued by a dog, one rider loses his seat, the other his hat."--British Museum online catalogue
