Three sturdy French fishwives carry English travellers ashore through the water from a boat at right, while two others attempt to coax an indignant stout lady from the vessel. On the left, a lively group of French figures awaits their arrival, including a postilion in oversized riding boots holding a paper inscribed ‘Poste Royale’, hotel touts displaying cards, a monk, a fishwife, and a grotesquely shaved dog, with cliffs beyond. The foremost English passenger, a typical John Bull in top-boots, is borne ashore with comic determination as his wig slips and hat falls into the sea; behind him are a lady in riding dress and a fashionably dressed younger man. The fishwives wear frilled caps, short petticoats, earrings, and crosses. Dorothy George, 'Smollett describes the miseries of a landing at Boulogne, 'Travels through Italy and France', 1766. Frederick Reynolds was forcibly carried ashore by fishwives at Calais in 1792, at least forty 'poissardes' wading towards the vessel. He attributes this to 'sans-culottes principles'.

A broadside presenting Tories attempting to overturn the 1837 Bristol election results as MacBeth's Three Witches around a cauldron, with papers marked 'Perjury', 'Lies', 'Slander' and 'More Perjury' When Liberal Francis Henry FitzHardinge Berkeley (1794-1870) was elected MP for Bristol, three petitioners (Bush Cookson & Payne, on behalf of the defeated Tory candidate William Fripp) accused him of extensive bribery and treating, as well as corruption, using his role as a trustee of the Anchor Society to obtain votes. A committee of the House of Commons was appointed to hear the case assembled in February, 1838, but after three days the petition was abandoned. Individual actions were brought against three other trustees and were all acquitted. In bringing the charges a woman was found guilty of perjury and the editor of the Bristol Journal was sued for libel and lost. Berkeley held his seat until his death in 1870.

It was enlarged over the next 75 years, and Buckingham Palace finally became the official royal palace of the British monarch on the accession of Queen Victoria in 1837. From a series of 12 views of famous London buildings by Edmund Walker (1850 - 1856; fl.); Abbey describes the folio as 'Views of the Principal Buildings in London'.
