Abstract:
"A crowded turbulent scene in the market square, Norwich. In the foreground, on trestles, is the carcass of a bull which two butchers are cutting up. Men struggle or clamour for fragments, or gnaw and fight over bones. On the right a huge cask has been broached; women fill pitchers and pails; one lies senseless. In the background a dense crowd is in procession, backed by the houses of the city; a bonfire burns unattended. The cheering crowd moves from right to Ieft, following banners, one inscribed 'Downfall of the Tyrant', and an effigy of Napoleon raised high on a pole and surrounded by pikes."--British Museum online catalogue

"The cobbler leans savagely over his wife who is tied to a chair, and with her wrists bound. With his awl between his teeth he pulls at the thread with which he is stitching up her mouth. She is an elderly virago with pendent breasts, who glares up at him, crisping her fingers; their faces are close together. A buxom young woman leans delightedly over the pair, holding up a candle."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"A grocer's snug parlour, with 'Mr. Fig', an ugly 'cit', holding on his knee an ugly child who is playing havoc with the tea-things. With a mug inscribed 'EF' the infant has smashed the tea-pot, while an overturned milk-jug makes a pool on the floor at which a cat laps. The man's back is to the fireplace (left), where a kettle is boiling over, and a red-hot poker is burning the floor. He says, with a fatuous smile: "Pretty Dear Heart! what a Gulley [an unrecorded word, evidently from Gully the pugilist]. it has given the Tea Pot, she delights in a little mischief, I should not be surprised Mrs Fig if she was to make as much Noise in the World as her Namesake, and as the Poet says "like another Ellen fire another Troy". Mrs. Fig (right), with arms angrily extended, exclaims: "Troy indeed Mr Fig, I think your more likely to Fire the House, look where the red hot poker lays and see how the tea Kettle is boiling over!!" On the wall is a framed print of 'The Worlds End', a flaming globe (the sign of more than one public house in the outskirts of London). On the mantelpiece are a large china mandarin (sign of the grocer's connexion with the tea-trade) and a medicine-bottle labelled 'Composing Draught for Miss Fig'. In a letter-rack are letters 'To Mr Fig Grocer'."--British Museum online catalogue

"A sequence of four designs divided by intersecting lines. 'Spring'. An ugly tailor kneels with clasped hands at the feet of a plain woman, who holds up a fan encouragingly.

'Summer'. The pair walk arm-in-arm in a landscape. He has become plump and wears trousers in place of the breeches worn in the other three designs. She flourishes a parasol. A dog follows. He says: "O thou wert born to please me My Life my only Dear." She answers: "Ay now you look a little stylish You are a--Charming Man who would not be married." 'Autumn'. They face each other defiantly, she holds a letter beginning 'Dear Mr Thimble,' and shrieks: "Here you feller here's a pretty commence. An interspected letter from one of your Naughty Women I knew you was going to Gallivant." He answers: "Well Ma'am, since you come for to go to that, who was it Galivanted with Mr Dip the Dyer to White conduit House last Sunday answer me that however I'll have a separation." 'Winter'.
