23A.: A British naval ship-sloop on the port tack under topgallants and a single headsail. Although crude, it shows doubled fore and main stays.

23B.: The Lion and the Unicorn supporting the Royal Arms of Great Britain. The shield in the centre is a crude representation of the Arms of the House of Hanover which were removed in 1837 on the accession of Queen Victoria.

23LE.: A bizarre Britannia wearing a liberty/Phrygian cap (cf #43) holding a trident, above a crown, above a foul anchor.

23TE.: Crossed Union flags above a sailor and his girl, above a woman in an evening gown. The womens' dresses are simple versions of the late 1820s style, perhaps worn later by the less well-off.
