Abstract:
"A scene on Clerkenwell Green, outside the 'Sessions House Crerenwell' [sic], whose door is on the extreme left. Two termagants face each other in the foreground; one spits at her enemy, arms akimbo, the other tries to use her fists but is held back by an elderly man who grasps her round the waist and kicks her, losing his tie-wig. The former woman is fashionably, the latter roughly, dressed. Both have coarse faces with a certain comeliness. In the background constables with staves are shepherding women through the door of the Sessions House, where the Middlesex magistrates sat. Other constables and women are suggested behind the 'Spit Fires'. On the right are old-fashioned gabled houses."--British Museum online catalogue

A dinner of mostly elderly men has dissolved into a brawl with wigs flying in every direction as they pummel each other with their fists or any tool at hand. In the center a man crawls on his hands and knees, blood pouring from both nostrils, his opponent ready to land him another blow. The one young man of the party dances merrily on top of the table flourishing a bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other as the dinnerware scatters in every direction

"An aged surgeon leans over a bag of instruments on a table (right), selecting a knife; he wears an old-fashioned wig, hat, coat, &c. A pretty girl seizes him by the arm; she shouts at him, pointing behind her to his subject, a young man lying on a trestle-table, fully dressed and apparently in perfect health, who has just wakened, horrified. In an open cupboard stands a skeleton (left). On the wall is a notice: 'A Course of Anatomical Lectures accompanied with Dissections will be delivered tommorrow Even[ing] by Professer Sawbone.' [An early use of the word 'Sawbone'. Partridge gives the date as from c. 1835, citing Sam Weller in 'Pickwick' (1837).] Two lighted candles stand on the table. On the lintel of the door is a bust of (?) Hippocrates frowning down at the scene."--British Museum online catalogue

"A man and woman sleep in a rough wooden bed, heads thrown back so that their nostrils face the spectator. Bare feet projecting from the bed-clothes attract a rat. A cat lies on a chair in the disordered room. An antique musket and broadsword hang horizontally above the bed, on a wall from which much plaster has fallen. A makeshift curtain hangs across a casement window (left). On a chair by the bed (right) is a punch-bowl. On the wall is a placard: 'Hush every Breese let nothing move My Celia sleeps and dreams of Love'."--British Museum online catalogue

"The interior of a barber's shop, a ramshackle room with a raftered ceiling. An elderly military officer, seated in the middle of the room between the barber and his wife, causes general dismay; he points to a gash on his cheek and shakes his fist at the barber who flinches back, razor in hand. The barber's wife, bending over the customer with a bowl of soap-suds, is terrified. The assistant, his own hair in curl-papers, trims the hair of a customer (right), holding a bowl on his head. At a table (left) a man washes, stanching his head. Water is supplied from the tap of a bucket on a shelf above the basin. Part of the table serves as dressing-table; on this a monkey sits before the mirror, lathering its head. On a high shelf (right) are wig-boxes and wig-blocks; the latter have inscriptions characterizing their (carved) features, and each having its appropriate wig: 'Clarkes Block', 'Parsons Block', 'Docter's Block', 'Lawyers Block'. On the back wall are a roller-towel and four prints: Absalom hanging from a tree while his horse gallops off, inscribed: 'Oh Absolom My Son My Son--hadst thou Wore a Wig this neer . . .' ; two profile heads, nose to nose, roughly resembling Rowlandson's 'Mock Turtle' [British Museum Satires No. 11639]; a narrow broadside headed by a gibbet, such as were sold in London on execution days; a bewigged caricature head."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Scene in a dance-room, which is roughly panelled, has a low platform across one end, and a small gallery (right) with a fiddler and a man blowing a French horn; it is lit by a hanging chandelier. In the centre two men face each other in boxing attitudes; one is stripped to the waist, the other to the shirt. Women stand behind them, alarmed or interested. A woman has fainted and is supported by a man who administers smelling-salts. On the right a wild scuffle is going on: two termagants seize each other by the hair, a third, on the ground, pulls down one of the combatants; they resemble prostitutes of St. Giles. Others are comelier and better dressed. Women and men stand on the platform watching with amused interest; one or two women register alarm or concern; on the right are two ugly old bawds."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
