"Heading to an engraved song: 'Sung by Mr Wm Hatton of the Theatre Royal Haymarket, on his Benefit Night at Worcester.' A well-dressed man sits beside a breakfast-table, listening to another who stands opposite him. A liveried footman stands behind his chair, a loutish waiter (Sam, the Yorkshire waiter, played by Emery) stands opposite. On the wall are framed prints or pictures: a boxing-match, a jockey standing by a horse, a rustic alehouse, a seaside tower."--British Museum online catalogue
