- Abstract:
- "Roads diverge in three directions from a posting-inn. A signpost (left) points left. 'To London'; another (right) points 'to Rochester' and 'To Aylesbury', these roads converging in an acute angle. In the centre foreground is a round well-head. A post-chaise on the extreme left gallops off to London; three passengers wearing election favours in their hats exclaim respectively: "Dead or alive we'll have him I'll Barber him"; "Provided nevertheless, if he does not we will have his son"; "I'll Butcher him if he wont come Dam him." A horseman, who has lost his stirrups, gallops after the coach, saying, "Dam Mr G-----s & Mr R------ns too I'll see if the Eloquence of a Bishop will not bring him." A man sprawling on the ground by the inn shouts towards the horseman, saying, "Stop him hes stole the Horse". A man lounges at the door of the inn holding the reins of several saddle-horses. The inn is inscribed 'Beef Steak House'; over the door is 'John Dickins'; an election flag inscribed 'Gregory' flies from a first-floor window. On the Rochester road in the foreground a post-chaise proceeds slowly with shuttered windows, but flying two flags. Words come from two invisible occupants: "Tho Smith's the best friend I have I'll oppose him Bob for fun's sake" and "This will Kill me Quite Matt". Two horsemen follow, saying, "I'll be ashamed to go into Town Tho its allmost Dark" and "I'll say I have been to Gravesend on business." In front of the chaise a horseman with a flag gallops, saying, "As I am the Manager I must haste to the Hall & nominate him tho' I know he wont come." In the distance two riders proceed on the Aylesbury road, saying, "I'll go this way that they may not laugh at me", and "friend so will I". A man lounging by the inn says "I should like to go to supper but I suppose they that go must pay". On each post-chaise is the letter 'A'."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "A disorderly mass of pedestrians fills the pavement outside the White Horse in Piccadilly, the street slanting in perspective from left to right. The pillared porch of the hotel is flanked by large curved windows, above which is the inscription 'Coffee House & Hotel'. The porch is inscribed 'Hatchetts', above it, against the wall, is the (pictorial) sign of a white horse, inscribed: 'Coaches & waggons to all parts of the kingdom'. Above the area railings, which are hidden by the crowd, is a placard (over the entrance to the basement): 'White Horse cellar coaches to all part[s]'. In the foreground (right) a coach and pair with outside passengers is driven recklessly (right to left) by a driver in a many-caped coat; an angry man sprawls by the horses' hoofs, another escapes to the right. A box-like coach or wagon facing in the opposite direction is on the off-side of the first; a man pushes a fat woman in at the back, while two outside passengers are about to fall from the roof, which is open. It is inscribed 'T[O] . . . MERS . . . TURNHAM' [? To Amersham by Turnham Green]. At the edge of the pavement stands a tough-looking coach-tout pointing out the Amersham wagon to an oafish-looking and would-be fashionable countryman whose pocket is being picked by a little Jewish boy; a Jewish woman with a basket of fruit slung from her neck deftly screens him. A raffish tout dressed as a coachman assails alarmed pedestrians with violent gestures. A stout John Bull pushes violently past a Jewish fruit-seller, spilling the fruit, while the Jew takes a watch from his fob. A boy diving for the falling fruit upsets a man carrying on his head and porter's knot a large corded chest. A little chimney-sweep with twisted shin-bones quizzes an amused negro servant, who holds a band-box, and is smartly dressed, but wears an apron. Facing the coaches stands a newsboy, holding up his papers to the passengers. He holds his horn; in his hat is a placard: 'Great News from St Hel[ena]'. Below, where the crowd is thickest in front of the hotel porch, men fight with fists. Two dandies stand under the porch, above the mêlée."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Carriages approach the east front of Buckingham House (left), watched by spectators. The first coach is stopped by a monster who stands on the shoulders of two beefeaters, wearing a cap inscribed Gout; flames issue from broad nostrils, barbed darts from his mouth; he has talons for hands and feet. He says: You may all return from whence ye came, and lay up your court dresses in Lavender; for, by the King's Great Toe I swear, you shall not enter here. High up under the pediment of the façade, stands a demon or blue devil, legs astride, who shouts: You have not got him all to yourself Signor Pinchtoe!! A beefeater holds up a placard on a pole: Bulletin. Notice Drawing Room postponed. Precisely at twenty two minutes five seconds past four this morning it was discovered (by a Lord of the Bed-Chamber) that the left side of his Majesty's Great Toe, on the right foot had suffered a slight accession of Inflammation--it is not yet accurately known to the faculty wether it is a bite from a Blue Devil [cf. British Museum Satires No. 14598] a Whitlow, or the Gout. Signed Tierney Halford. The foremost coachman, wearing cocked hat, powdered wig, and nosegay, reins in a pair of heavy horses and gapes at the monster; ladies put feathered heads from the coach windows; one addresses a fat elderly man who stands by the coach: It's not pretty behaviour however to disapoint so many merely on account of a trifling Pinch of the Great Toe. He answers: My dear Lady! it would be quite contrary to Etiquette for a King to be seen limping into a Drawing Room upon crutches with a swelled Foot and a big Shoe. The two footmen behind are run into by the horses of the next carriage, which has men in plain livery; one turns to strike at the horses. The lady looks out to say: Its very provoking to be hoax'd in this manner after being put to all the Trouble and Expence! Two Irishmen stand together in the foreground, one says: By Jasus i'll be after bringing a Bill into the House to enable his Majesty to see company in his slippers, does'nt ould King Louis hold a Drawing Room with both his legs bound up in flannel? The other answers: Poh! Sir Pheligm! it comes with keeping bad company, has'nt he caught the complaint of the Ould City Baronet [Curtis] think you? Two liveried chairmen (right) have grounded their sedan-chair; one raises the roof, the other addresses the lady within; he points over his shoulder with his thumb, saying, They say as how there is a Bul-let-in and he has trod upon his Majestys Great Toe, and that makes all the botheration my Lady! She says: It's an Irish Bull then I am certain!! Behind the Park railing (right) are tiny spectators."--British Museum online catalogue
