"Four young naval officers, two being mere boys and apparently midshipmen (though the scene is unlike the cramped squalor of the midshipmen's berth), dine at a tilting table, from which decanters, a capon, &c., have fallen to the ground. A cabin-boy struggles up the slanting desk with a ham. One of the very flimsy chairs is overturned. A gun projecting through a port-hole is marked 'Clyde'."--British Museum online catalogue

"A promenade in Hyde Park. Innovations are that the men have trousers pinched at the knee, hour-glass fashion, their hats have small crowns, truncated cones, like the Petersham hat, some wear flat pumps with bows, and hold small riding-whips. They have enormous whiskers, patently false, sometimes meeting under the chin. The women have much-trimmed hats with large brims, gigot sleeves, belted dresses, with full skirts. There are three little children, all with plain straw hats with vast brims, like flat mushrooms; a little girl has a hoop, a boy a whip."--British Museum online catalogue

A scene in a bank: actor John Liston as the comic character Paul Pry, quizzing glass raised to his eyes, stands at the desk of a red-faced banker (left) who sits with quill pen in hand, another behind his ear, lower lip jutting out as he glares at his customer. A second customer enters the door of the bank (right) with papers in-hand. Paul Pry is a character from a John Poole farce of the same name. Pry is characterized as a man consumed with curiosity, a busybody unable to mind his own business. Pry wears striped trousers, hessian boots, tail coat and top hat, and carries an umbrella that he leaves behind so that he would have an excuse to return and eavesdrop

A view of wartime merriment: A procession of sailors and their women, escorted by fiddlers, passes a background of shops towards a gateway across the end of the street (left). The purveyor of the jollification, a sailor who has inherited money, sits astride a cask of 'real Jamaica' supported on poles carried by sailors, who wave hat and tankard towards the crowded first-floor windows. Men and women dance along the street. There are many incidents. A Jew, talking to another Jew outside a shop placarded 'Moses Slop-Shop', has his hat twitched off by the cane of a sailor who leans from above the doorway. The sailors carry an Ensign flag and a flag inscribed 'Leander, and are making for the Point

"A dandy walking on a London pavement cuts an acquaintance.

Sailors carouse in a drunken orgy between decks; hammocks are slung from the roof and drunken sailors vomit over the sides into the crowd. Musicians play fiddles and drums. Men and women drink and dance. A negro fiddles; a Jew sits on the ground ready to receive the watch which a woman steals from a sailor as she sits stirring a bowl on a box labeled "T. Ockham'. A marine kicks over a bucket labeled with the ships name as he spills the contents of his mug onto a barefoot boy who in turn pours the contents of his kettle onto a dog. To the left is a large keg of rum. The scene is watched by smiling officers (left), among whom is Lord Cochrane. This wartime scene is called to mind by the sight of the frigate 'Peranga' lying off Spithead. See British Museum catalogue
