- "Tom Cribb stands in the foreground, full-face, in a sparring attitude, but holding a bottle whose cork he has just drawn. In the bottle is a negro's face; the contents explode violently, with inscriptions in the explosion: 'a Jaw breaker--Fibbing--Fibbing--More Punishment, A Floorerer, --A Nobber A Doubler, --Want of Wind A Left Flush, --A Rally Sparring for Wind.' Behind him is a table round which sit and stand raffish-looking men, drinking, cheering, and smoking. A punch-bowl is on the table, empty bottles on the floor. Captain Barclay stands with one foot on the table raising his glass, to give the toast: "Gentlemen--the Milling Champion at Thisselton Gap." Six others shout: "Bravo, Capn--"; "Bravo Barclay for ever."; Bravo, Milling for ever."; "Bravo,--Bravo,--Scotch Training for ever."; "Crib, and Barclay for ever."; "Bravo Capn--Huzza"."--British Museum online catalogue.
