"A young couple, fashionably dressed, embrace, seated in a summer-house on the bank of a stream. Beside the summer-house is a notice-board inscribed 'Man Traps'. Across the water is an ugly elderly man who leans forward, gaping with agonized intentness at the pair. There is a landscape background, the winding stream receding in perspective under trees."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A grotesquely ugly candidate (right) bows low, top-hat in hand, right hand pointing to his breast, before a sturdy and ragged rat-catcher, who stands facing him, scratching his forehead. The latter holds by a strap a rectangular cage of rats; across his shoulders, like a garter ribbon, is a broad band on which dead rats, or rat-skins, are extended (cf. British Museum satires No. 5099). Under his arm is a rod on which two rats are spiked, a pouch hangs from his shoulders, and he wears short gaiters. The candidate, apprehensive and deferential, says: "What my honest friend Lurcher--I have not had the pleasure of seeing you since last Election. we expect a severe contest this time, therefore "earnestly Solicit Your Vote and Interest and shall request the Honor of--Mr Lurcher's Company to Dinner at the Hog in the Pound. N.B. Dinner Ticket only .10s--6d." Close behind the candidate is his very ugly agent, holding a purse from which he is about to take a coin. Both wear spurred boots. The rat-catcher answers: "I see Your Honor bees mortal short of memory. You forget as how your Worships committed me to the County Jail for--a Month--"fro [sic] only Throwing a Sheeps Je at a Hare running a cross the Common. So your worship may if you please Call a gain to Morrow [a catch-phrase, cf. British Museum Satires No. 11207]." Two curs stand beside him. Behind is the corner of his cottage; over the door: 'Gs Lurcher Rat Catcher All sorts of Vermin destroyed'. A fat countrywoman stands on the door-step using a broom to dislodge two cats from the projection over the door. In the background (right) is a country inn with a sign on which a fat pig is depicted. A man leads two saddle-horses under the entrance to the courtyard; above is a placard: 'Neat Wines ...' In a bow-window punch-bowls and bottles are ranged."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Title-page; the title is engraved across the centre of the page. Above are two festoons of ribbon centred by a bow from which is suspended in a round frame a half length figure of a jester in a fool's cap, and inscribed 'Comic Mirror'. Below it is a loop of ribbon inscribed 'To hold as t'were the Mirror up to Nature. Shakespeare.' One festoon (left), inscribed 'Country Observations on the Caricature Magazine', supports half length figures inspecting bound numbers (or volumes) of the Magazine. A comely woman says: "Come John let me look don't Keep it all to yourself." Two oafish men hold an open book, saying, "Dont be in a hurry well these things be the drollest things ever sent into our Country," and "There be one exactly like our Exciseman." A third man inspects a volume, saying, "I wonder how they think of all these things." The other festoon, 'Town Observations on the Caricature Magazine', supports two men and two women (three-quarter length), ugly but quasi-fashionable, eagerly inspecting the (bound) prints. They say: "It is certainly very amuseing"; "Pray Sir have they commenced the second Volume"; "Just got the first number Ma'am from Mr Teggs." The lower part and sides of the design are flanked by two processions. On the left are 'Whimsical Characters ascending to the Temple of Fame'. Men and women in back view ascend, receding in perspective to a round temple on which Fame blows his trumpet. Those in the foreground are a fat parson, a foppish military officer wearing a huge crescent-shaped cocked hat, a fat 'cit' arm-in-arm with a thin lady. A Highlander walks in front of them. On the left is 'A Grotesque Deputation from the Temple of Momus - returnig [sic] thanks for past favors and soliciting future patronage.' These are Lilliputian figures (cf. British Museum Satire No. 9635, &c.) with large grotesque heads of men and women, all grinning, who descend from a temple on which straddles Momus. Between the two processions and forming a tail-piece is 'The Genius of Caricature opening the Second Volume.' A man with a large grinning face, faun's ears, and butterfly wings, wearing a Harlequin suit, and perhaps a fantastic representation of Tegg, see British Museum Satire No. 11133, sprawls on the ground holding an open volume: 'Caricature Magazine Vol 2d.' His elbow rests on 'Caricature Magazine, Vol. 1.' Beside him are (left) papers inscribed 'Bulls', 'Anecdotes', 'Jests', 'Puns', 'Bon Mot[s]', and (right) separate prints."--British Museum online catalogue

"Scene by a roadside pond opposite a picturesque inn (right). A few country-people watch a distressed cat in a bowl which floats precariously. An angry old woman strides into the water to rescue the animal, but is restrained by a friend. Other spectators watch with amused delight; they wear holiday finery, imitating fashionable dress. A boy, holding back a dog, and a girl sit together on the bank. A young couple in a gig at the inn-door watch the cat. Behind the pond (left) a tandem runs away overturning a gig."--British Museum online catalogue

"Two fat elderly parsons in cap and gown walking together along the side-aisle of a large Gothic church fall violently over a rope stretched across the aisle and held by two groups of undergraduates, also in cap and gown. With the group on the right is a buxom young woman, pulling the rope. Two undergraduates flourish long-lashed whips, one aims a squirt, another lets off a squib. The aisle is divided from the nave by an iron railing; on the ground is a stone or brass with a mitre and crosier inscribed 'Here Lies the Body of Bishop Blear eyes'."--British Museum online catalogue

By the cottage is a pump at which are two old women, while a third looks from her cottage door on the extreme left; all register eager spite. A young woman walks off carrying a pitcher on her head.
