Abstract:
"A barrister, haggard and exhausted, yawns over a 'Brief', reclining in an arm-chair, extending his bare legs to the fire (right) where a coffee-pot stands. Beside him is a 'Bill of Costs'. Evidence of overnight dissipation are a (Turkish) masquerade dress and mask on the floor and a young woman, partly dressed, arranging her hair at a mirror placed on the breakfast-table. Her foot rests on a large volume: 'Crim Con Cases'. The room is lined with heavy folios, a serjeant's wig hangs by the window; there is a notice: 'Term begins -- A convenient Sett of Chambe[rs] To Lett'. A bust portrait of a severe old judge is over the chimney-piece on which stand books, bottles of 'Cherry Bounce', and 'Restorative Drops'. On the ground are empty bottles, top-boots, a gun, a dog. Riding-breeches and a jockey-cap hang from a peg."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a later state

"A stout stage-coachman, perhaps an amateur, holding a bowl, stands by the door of an inn, taking the chin of the very buxom landlady. He has a team-whip and wears a round hat and many-caped overcoat reaching to the feet. Above their heads swings the (pictorial) signboard: 'Widow Casey at the Sign of the Cock and Bottle' [in reversed characters]. Just within the door stands a young maidservant, smiling at the encounter. Above the door: 'Genteel Accomodations'. On the wall is a bill headed 'York Races'. In the background (right) appears the empty box-seat of the coach with three of the horses, with a groom and dog."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"Large clusters of straw bonnets and hats hang from the ceiling of a room which is both show-room and work-room. A pretty shop-girl with a hat in each hand smiles at a lean ugly woman who wears a similar but ill-fitting hat, and whose complacent profile is reflected in a wall-mirror (left). A child with a rattle looks up at her. She (or he) wears frilled drawers to the ankle. A fat woman wearing a bonnet sits looking up admiringly. A cat sits on a chair. Behind, six pretty girls are seated at a table making bonnets. An ugly elderly man peers in through the window, using an eye-glass. On the wall is a large placard: 'Mrs Flimsy's Fashionable Warehouse The greatest Variety of Straw Hats & Bonnets made up in the most Elegant Taste. A large stock of Spanish Flemish Provincial Gipsey Cottage Woodland &c &c Adapted to shew every Feature to the best Advantage'. Below the title: 'Misery A La Mode. The being overpersuaded by a canting Shopwoman, in endeavouring to put off a stale Article--that it is the most becoming and suitable to your stile of Features--but on consulting your friends and acquaintance they pronounce it the most frightful hideous and unfashionable thing that woud disgrace Cranbourn Alley'."--British Museum online catalogue

"An old hag leans back in an armchair of antique pattern; she is beset with cats which swarm round her, and turns her head with a macabre smile to kiss one on the mouth; her left hand rests on a cat standing on the table beside her. Two sit in her lap, another scrambles up her skirts. On a cushion on the floor are two large cats and two kittens; two others lap from a bowl. Others scramble and fight on the back of her chair. A pretty young woman stands (right) holding a cat which is tightly wrapped up, and feeding it from a spoon. The cats are large and muscular, with a trace of bull-dog. On the table are a box of 'Rappe', a decanter of 'Ratafia' with a glass, a large bowl of 'Cat Lap', and a paper: 'Essay on Old Maids'. Behind are ancient stone walls, and windows with escutcheons on which are cats. The woman's shoes are of archaic pattern"--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The guests sit at a long narrow table which stretches across a magnificent room with an ornate ceiling and chimney-piece flanked by draped canopies resembling high curtained beds with domed testers. Two men and a pretty young woman serve wine, one drawing a cork, the others spilling wine over the guests. Another slatternly waiter removes a soup-tureen, spilling its contents in the face of an elderly guest. A woman and a little girl with a begging dog play tambourine and triangle. The women diners are in full dress, decolletee and with feathers in their hair; some of the men wear bag-wigs. There are two monks, and some ill-bred gormandizing is going on. In the foreground is a large cluster of bottles inscribed 'Frotignac [sic]', 'Claret', 'Burgundy', 'Bla . .', 'Ro . . Vin de Paris'. The figures are caricatured, except for the young women. The scene is a combination of pomp with confused disorder, and of noisy joviality with self-centred gormandizing."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
