Abstract:
The young couple are seen in a large, well-furnished room that is in a state of disorder after a night's entertainment; the Viscount is collapsed in a chair having just arrived, the clock showing 1:20 a.m. His sword lies at his feet, broken, and a bonnet hangs from his pocket, suggesting his infidelity; the lap dog sniffs at him suspiciously. The wife's evening's activities at home are suggested by the book "Hoyle on whist" open on the rug in the middle of the floor, a deck of cards on the floor below a card table in the next room, and in the foreground two violins, one with its case open, on the back of an overturned chair, suggesting the wife's own infidelity. The estate steward walks away in disgust at his apparent failure to engage either the husband or the wife in addressing the wad of bills that he has in his hands or the ledger under his arm; in his pocket he carries a pamphlet entitled "Regeneration." Through an archway, a disheveled and sleepy servant scratches his cap; the walls are decorated with paintings of religious figures

Abstract:
The Earl Squander and a city merchant arrange the marriage of their son and daughter in a grand sitting room. The Earl, whose coronet is stamped on all his possessions, unfolds a diagram of his illustrious family tree as the alderman focuses on the marriage contract and his payment. The extravagantly dressed young groom-to-be looks at his reflection in a glass while his future bride listens intently at the lawyer's soft words. Through the window is a view of a palatial house under construction, presumably for the new couple as the plans are labelled "A Plan of the New Building of the Rt. Honble..." The walls of the room are covered with paintings of Roman and Old Testament scenes as well as the screaming face of Medusa. In the foreground on the right, two dogs are chained together, one lying down but looking out the corner of his eyes at the viewer, the other looking off to the right

Abstract:
The scene is the interior of a dispensary with the Viscount sitting in a chair, his child-mistress at his knee. The young girl holds a handkerchief to her mouth as if to hide a sore. With his right hand he holds a pill-box out to the doctor; with his left, he threatens him with his raised cane. A large, well-dressed woman looks angrily at the young man and opens a knife, while the quack polishes his glasses, at his side a skull on the table. The room contains numerous medical and scientific objects, including machines for straightening shoulders and for drawing corks, a dried crocodile, a narwhal's tusk, two mummies, a skeleton, and two pictures, one of a two-headed hermaphrodite and the other an anthropophagi (see Paulson). and After the painting "The Inspection" in the National Gallery, London

Abstract:
The countess is shown swooning in a chair in her father's house near London Bridge (seen through the window on the left). At her feet a bottle with a label "laudanum" alongside an execution broadside tells us that Silvertongue has been hanged for killing her husband and that she has attempted suicide. Her young child (wearing a leg brace as a result of congenital syphilis) is held up for a last kiss by an old woman, while her father removes her wedding ring. An apothecary strikes the simple-minded servant for procuring the laudanum; a doctor leaves by a door to right. Fire buckets line the hallway. The floor of the room is bare; a heavy chair near a table is overturned, a starving dog chewing at the calf's head on the table. Other decorations include a weight-driven wall-clock, the paintings of Dutch peasant subjects and a man relieving himself against a wall, and a set of ledgers indicates that accounts are kept up to date
