Depiction: The varied humours of Portsmouth are displayed with the caricaturist's native vigor. The landing-place is bustling with business. Small craft of all sorts are pulling off to the ships. Luggage, spirit-casks and packages are being wheeled or shouldered off for embarkation. A commander, his lady and a porter are in the centre of the crowd.
Signed in plate, lower left: "Rowlandson del.".
