Abstract:
"A handsome young courtesan sits by the fire, her legs crossed indecorously, her breast bare; she has a decanter at her elbow, and holds a glass of wine. Standing on each side of her are her jailor, holding a bunch of keys, and a hideous old woman; both drink. Over the chimney-piece is a placard: 'Mac Nab Sherrifs Officer for the County of Middlesex--Genteel Accomodation for Ladies and Gentlem[en]'. The door (left) is heavily bolted, and has an iron grille; the large, partly curtained window is massively barred."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"A sequence of six scenes in compartments arranged in three pairs. [1] A foal lies beside its dam. [2] The owner leads the high-stepping animal across a race-course; behind (right) is the weighing-post. [3] Ridden by a huntsman he takes a flying leap over a wall; hounds run beside the animal. [4] He is one of a pair of galloping horses in a post-chaise, ridden by a postilion. An ugly couple sleep uneasily in the chaise. [5] As an emaciated pack-horse he plods along a rough track, thrashed by a coarse old peasant woman. [6] A huntsman stands on his dead body, cutting off the flesh for the hounds; carrion birds hover."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"Four men wearing aprons and other Masonic insignia initiate a burly pugnacious sailor who kneels on a cushion in profile to the right. Two lighted candles in tall candlesticks are on the ground behind him. On the extreme right. a man heats a poker in a brazier. On the extreme left. a Mason reads from a book: "Be it known to all men present that Benjamin Block of the Parish of St Catherines, - having a desire to become a member of the ancient Fraternity of Masons, hitherto comply'd with the usual ceremonies - Viz - having his Shirt-flaps cut and marked with divers mysteries, signs, and tangents - it now only remains - to fix on the bandage - and prepare the red hot poker, [for which purposes the proper Officers, are now attending) and the initiation is complete." An elderly man wearing a large old-fashioned wig faces the sailor, holding a cloth. The sailor's striped trousers are pulled down, his (slit) shirt is pulled over them, leaving a bare thigh. On the shirt are scrawled a sun, star, crescent, compasses, &c. On the ground are scissors and a hammer. The sailor clenches his fists and scowls up at his vis-à-vis, saying: "Harke'e Mr Wigsby - mind what I say, I have consented to have my main sheets cut and hack'd about, in a pretty stile, and Poll will swear enough about that, when she comes to over-hawl my rigging - but D------n me, if you offer to blindfold me, or to heave in sight one of your red hot pokers - may I never weigh anchor again - If I dont upset every Man-Jack of you. - " The fourth Mason, standing behind the sailor, laughs heartily."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"Ten Odd Fellows with grotesque faces watch a sailor who stands, arms akimbo, wary and pugnacious. The chairman sits in a raised armchair, smoking and drinking, behind a small table on which are two lighted candles. On the back of his chair are three small but realistic heads, seeming to watch the proceedings. A man in a dressing-gown, introduces the sailor, doffing a night-cap: "Most worthy Chairman Mr Benjamin Block of Wapping Old Stairs - attends to be made a Member of the Ancient and honorable Society." The sailor, who wears round hat, short blue jacket, a petticoat (as in earlier prints), and buckled shoes, says: "Avast my Hearties, - before I've proceeded any further on the voyage let me know what course you are steering - if you mean to frighten a British sailor with your goggle eyes, and queer faces you are d------dly mistaken - besides it appears to me that you have got masks on which is like fighting under false colours, and that wont do for an English Jack Tar!"."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"Masqueraders stand closely grouped. A centre figure is an obese, aged, and capering Punch, playing a guitar. Two women are prominent, both are in profile to the left, and wear small masks which frame their eyes. One holds a wand and a book inscribed 'Magi', the other wears breeches and is very décolletée. Behind her is an ugly coarse-looking man, wearing a domino with a naturalistic mask resembling his own features. A man wears a bag-wig with large horns and carries a placard inscribed 'Horns to Sell'. One figure wears two realistic and complete masks, Janus-like--one that of a handsome woman, the other of an ugly man. The background is an arc of a rotunda, with Ionic pillars framing curtains and decorated with fairy lights."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"A sailor heaves a donkey over the railing of a small enclosure, holding its fore-legs across his shoulders, so that the beast looks over his head. Another sailor stoops to support the ass's hindquarters on his own back. A paunchy man wearing top-boots, and with a dog, stands (left) in profile to the right., angrily facing the sailor; he says: "Who gave you authority to release that ass from the Pound". The sailor, who is smoking a pipe, answers: "Why look you master - the thing was this - we saw him aground without Victuals d'ye see and so my messmate and I agreed to Cut his Cable and set him at liberty because we have known before now what it is to be at short allowance"."--British Museum online catalogue
