- Abstract:
- In a large room of an employment agency, prospective employers interview their potential hires. At the extreme right is a desk with the manager of the agency sitting behind it . On the desk is large open volume entitled "Order from Covent Garden for tid-bits". Next to it lies a note, "To Mr. Double Face, Statute Hall." In the foreground, next to the desk, a young man and woman sit on a bench waiting their turn. Numerous pairs around the room conduct interviews, including an older woman examining the face of a young manservant; a macaroni feeling the bosom of a maidservant; an old woman in spectacles poking the chest of a large coachman with a whip in his hand; a bishop leering at a young woman holding a box under her arm; and a pair in the background on the left holding a paper "Hell Fire Jack at the Bedford". In the background on the far right two young women stand against the wall, under an advertisement: "Two ladies want places with single gentlemen willing to do any thing." Other advertisements hang on the back wall

- Abstract:
- "A courtesan stands at a wash-tub, washing her last shift. She wears a cap over ringlets in curl-papers and a tattered petticoat, a shawl covers her naked shoulders. The room is squalid, with plaster falling from the bricks. Across the fireplace stockings hang on a string to dry. The corner of a bed appears on the right. On the table by the wash-tub is a small gin tankard. Under it is a pair of stays. A cat tries to reach a (broken) plate of cheese on a chair. On the floor, beside a fashionable high-crowned hat, lies a ballad: 'How happy were my days till now...'. Papers are thrust under the vertical bar of the casement window, one inscribed 'Admit Two to the Boxes'. Probably an imitation of Gillray's 'The Whores Last Shift', see British Museum Satires No. 5604."--British Museum online catalogue
