Abstract:
"Three visitors regard with amusement a soldier who acts as barber. A soldier sits (left) outside a tent, his hair lank and undressed, his chin lathered, a cloth round his neck. The barber stands flourishing a razor; he is in full regimentals, wearing a busby, with intrenching tools (a spade and axe) thrust through his belt. Facing him in profile to the left stands a lady with a man in riding-dress on each side of her; one points, the others raise their hands in amused surprise. A grinning black boy in livery, wearing a turban and carrying a riding-whip, stands behind them. A sentry stands on duty beside the tent with his musket across his shoulder. Another soldier stands on the extreme right, his hands crossed on his breast. A row of tents, backed by trees and the contour of a hill, forms a background. In the middle distance an officer with another soldier appears to be inspecting the camp."--British Museum online catalogue

"A scene in the House of Commons. Burke stands on the shoulders of two seated members: his right foot is on the left shoulder of Powys, his left on the right shoulder of Sawbridge.

Powys looks up at him with an angry expression; he holds in his hand a thick bundle of papers inscribed 'Memda of Important Observations Obvious Objections Perpetual Motions Doubts Facts Surmises Queries &ca &ca'. Sawbridge looks gloomily away from Burke, his left leg stretched along the seat; he holds a paper inscribed 'Mock Motion for Reform in the Representation &c.'
