Abstract:
Originally designed as the subscription ticket for the "Analysis of Beauty" the design, based on Leonardo's Last Supper shows, depicts Christopher Columbus demonstrating how to make an egg stand on its end. The five observers look at the cracked egg, upright on the table, in amusement at the evidence of an inventive mind at work. Two other eggs intertwined with two eels lie on a plate in the center of the table. On the bottom right, a dog peeps over the edge of the table, the cloth and cutlery tossed off to the side. In this state the receipt portion has been cut off and statement of responsibility added

Mary Hackabout, now a harlot and mistress of a wealthy London Jew, exposes her breast and kicks over a tea table to divert his attention from the presence of her younger lover who hides behind the door of the room with her maid servant. A monkey and young black servant boy in a feathered turban look on the scene with frighten expressions. The mask and mirror in the lower left corner and the paintings of scenes from the Old Testament (Jonah IV.8 and 2 Samuel VI.1-5) hanging on the wall further amplify the artist's moral message

A scene in Bridewell prison with Moll Hackabout and the other inmates beating hemp under the supervision of a stern warder holding a cane. Moll is still dressed in her finery, but a one-eyed female attendant fingers the lace lappet hanging from her cap and her serving-woman sits before her in Moll's elegant shoes; next to her a fellow inmate picks vermin off her clothes. Next to Moll is a gambler, a torn playing card on the floor in front of him; behind her, a man stands with his hands in a pillory on which hangs a sign "Better to Work than Stand thus." Further down the wall is a whipping post with the words "The Wages of Idleness." On a shudder against the back wall is an effigy of Sir John Gonson ("Sr. J G").

In a squalid room Moll Hackabout, wrapped in a sheet, is attended by her two physicians (Richard Rock and Jean Misaubin) argue over their remedies. Her serving-woman reaches out to them in alarm to get their attention for the invalid, while another woman rifles through Moll's portmanteau (with her initials as in Plate 1). A small boy knelling next to Moll's chair scratches his head as he turns a joint of meat roasting in front of the fire while a pot overflows on the grate. An over-turned table with an advertisement "Practical scheme ... 'Anodyne" litters the floor in the foreground
