Summary: Page of five sketches. Beginning at the upper left, a group of children are staring at a soldier standing by a gate. The second scene shows a man carrying a huge strawberry on a platter, through a door. A capital letter S is visible at the upper right. The third scene shows a man standing in a rowboat, flanked by two swans. As he raises his handkerchief, a huge tear falls from his eye. In the next scene, a couple sit with their backs to a tree. In the final scene, five young girls riding on mules, pass Mr. Punch seated on a bench at the side of the road. He is accompanied by his dog who sits beside the bench.

The scene in which the children stare at a soldier is similar to a drawing by Leech used as a cartoon with the caption, 'There, baby dear, look at the pretty soldiers!' The sketch of the strawberry illustrates the article, 'The Monster Strawberry,' which discusses the result of the 'forcing process' on the growth of strawberries and its ramifications. The vignette of the man and swans was used as a decoration, and does not relate to the articles on the page in which it was published. The illustration of Mr. Punch and the five girls was published in tandem with an article entitled, 'A Half-Holiday at Hampstead.'
