Abstract:
"Four designs on one plate [1] 'How to carry an Umbrella--' A pedestrian slanting his umbrella against driving rain plants it in the face of a man walking towards him. Behind, another drives the ferrule into the face of a blind man who is being led by a dog across the road (right). A short lady, passing a dandy who also holds an umbrella, raises hers so high that she breaks a street lamp. [2] 'How to Turn a Corner--' A dandy (cf. British Museum Satires No. 13029), hands on hips, swaggers round a corner knocking down a fat fellow in old-fashioned dress. There are four other pedestrians, a dandy walking with two ladies, and a stout elderly man. [3] 'How to clear the Streets--' Five men with linked arms, would-be fashionables, have overturned one man; one of them kicks a fishwoman behind; her basket falls from her head and she is falling. A woman and little boy flee from the roisterers. [4] 'How to Attract public Notice--' A man dressed as a dandy, wearing grotesque trousers gathered in at the ankle, and staring through an eye-glass, walks with a fat bedizened woman wearing a gigantic feathered bonnet and holding up a parasol. Four passers-by point and jeer, or stare in astonishment, the latter being a yokel and a little maidservant hurrying with a basket of vegetables and the door-key."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Four designs on one plate [1] 'How to stop up the Passage--' Five men, one in dandy costume with trousers gathered at the ankle, stand in a close group on the pavement, laughing slyly. A porter (left) carrying a burden on his knot, and a woman (right) carrying milk-pails on a yoke who has just come from the arched doorway of a milk-cellar both yell at the obstructionists without attracting attention. Behind the latter is a window with 'B. Block' above it. [2] 'How to make the most of the Mud--' A stout pugnacious-looking man aggressively stamps on a loose paving-stone and a fountain of mud splashes a fat woman from head to foot. From his other foot a black stream squirts against a dandy. In the background (right) scavengers are flinging mud from the cobbled street into a cart, splashing a lady. [3] 'How to carry a Stick--' A pedestrian walks along intently reading a book, the words 'T. Tegg Cheapside' being just legible at the foot of the page. Under his arm is a long stick held horizontally; it is about to ram the face of a fat dismayed parson. Another man accosts a woman, showing her a letter, his stick held between his knees. Cf. British Museum Satires No. 8931. [4] 'How to get into the Watch-House--' A tipsy blood attacks a watchman with a bludgeon, while a second watchman whose lantern has been broken tackles a second blood, who staggers in drunken helplessness. The first watchman springs his rattle, and two more hobble to his help. Behind the foreground figures are a shuttered shop-front and an empty watch-box."--British Museum online catalogue

"Coates in a pose suggesting Harlequin in a fencing-match (and like that of the clown in British Museum Satires No. 9003), sits on the stage, his trunk almost at right angles to his legs which slant stiffly towards the stage-box (left). He grins at the occupants, pointing his sword towards them and raising his left arm. He wears his jewelled hat with the enormous feathers, cloak, tunic, and sash, as in British Museum Satires No. 11769. He declaims Lothario's speech when he falls dying, after the duel with Altamont, beginning: "Oh Altamont! thy genius is the stronger, thou hast prevail'd . . ." [Rowe, 'Fair Penitent', iv. 1]. He lies on bright green ground, a garden scene with trees and skaters forming a background. Four persons in the box, much burlesqued, applaud, grinning broadly: "Encore--Encore"; "Bravo--bravo--Encore"; "Bravo--Encore"."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"An elderly old-fashioned doctor, holding his gold-headed cane, sits bending forward to inspect the tongue of his agonized patient. The latter, grotesquely obese, sits in a low arm-chair (right) with his lean and hideous wife beside him; a thin grotesque footman, his hair standing on end, stands behind the doctor's chair, leaning towards his master. All three put out their tongues, and all register dismay; the equally ugly doctor gapes in unhelpful concern. The grotesque heads are closely grouped against a high window. A grandfather clock (left) shows that the time is 2.22. A thermometer hangs on the wall."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"The interior of a thieves' kitchen or cellar into which a steep flight of steps (left) descends. All the inmates have seen Matthew Wood, the Mayor, followed by constables, coming quietly down the stairs except for a sleeping woman and a watchman seated with his back to the stairs and holding up a glass of gin. He says, with a grin, to a terrified woman who falls over backwards, kicking his hand: "You had like'd to have kick'd the Blue Ruin [gin, generally bad gin, from c. 1810; Partridge, 'Slang Dict'., 1938] out of my hand, come let's have our Old toast! Industrious Thieves, and Idle Magistrates." The woman screams: "Oh the Night Mare!! we're ruind by the Lord." A man wearing top-boots crouches behind her chair, trying to hide his plunder, a watch, seals, &c., under his hat. He says: "We are dish'd Bet by G-- if I escape I'll live honestly as long as this chaps in Office --for he'l ruin the Consarn!"

The watchman wears a helmet-like hood, a long coat with his rattle thrust through the belt, his staff and (smoking) lantern lie on the floor.
