"A sailor and his pregnant fiancée stand at left before a clergyman in a white surplice who stands at right, reading from papers inscribed 'Matrimony', and asking 'Wilt thou take this Woman to be thy wedded wife'; the sailor responds in affronted manner, asking 'do you doubt the word of a sailor'; an assisting cleric at right, wearing dark clothes and bands, drops his book in surprise."--British Museum online catalogue.

"An elderly man and wife sit close together at a meagrely spread dinner-table. With hands folded, he bends his head in melancholy resentment, while his wife hectors, with right fist clenched, the left forefinger raised in admonition. He wears neat old-fashioned dress, she is a bare-bosomed trollope. On the table are only a tankard (by the woman), a fragment of loaf, one chop with knife and fork. Dark smoke is indicated as a background."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Two doctors (left) stoke the fires of a row of seven cylindrical vessels or furnaces from which their patients (half length) emerge. These recede slightly in perspective from right to left. On the extreme right is Burke ('B------e'), drooping dejectedly, and saying, "By Jasus I have got no Juice left". Next him Fox ('F--x') declaims, hat in hand, "I have sweated enough. Sheridan ('S------n') gesticulates furiously with clenched fists, saying, "This is Scandalous the Baily's have sufficiently sweated me" (executions in Sheridan's house were frequent). Next him is the Prince ('P------'), clasping his hands, and saying, "I suppose they call this a Regency Sweat". A young woman on his right, 'Mrs J------n', (? Jordan) says "I sweat with desire". Next is ('W------e') Weltje (cf. BMSat 7509), saying, "I never sweat so much at Cooking in all my Life". On the extreme left Mrs. Fitzherbert ('F--T--T'), her arms extended in a frenzy, says, "And I with Jealousy what disregard the Marriage Rights". On the ground, below their patients, are the two doctors: Willis on the extreme left, indicated by his clerical bands, holds coal on a shovel, while Dominicetti, wearing a nightcap, kneels on one knee to stir up the furnace under Sheridan with a long poker. On the right is a 'Coal Tub'. Clouds of steam rise from the baths."--British Museum online catalogue.

"The guests sit at a long narrow table which stretches across a magnificent room with an ornate ceiling and chimney-piece flanked by draped canopies resembling high curtained beds with domed testers. Two men and a pretty young woman serve wine, one drawing a cork, the others spilling wine over the guests. Another slatternly waiter removes a soup-tureen, spilling its contents in the face of an elderly guest. A woman and a little girl with a begging dog play tambourine and triangle. The women diners are in full dress, decolletee and with feathers in their hair; some of the men wear bag-wigs. There are two monks, and some ill-bred gormandizing is going on. In the foreground is a large cluster of bottles inscribed 'Frotignac [sic]', 'Claret', 'Burgundy', 'Bla . .', 'Ro . . Vin de Paris'. The figures are caricatured, except for the young women. The scene is a combination of pomp with confused disorder, and of noisy joviality with self-centred gormandizing."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.

"In a bare room with a raftered roof couples are energetically dancing, holding hands behind their backs, or above their heads. The women, with one exception, are young and handsome, the men ugly and plebeian. A seated fiddler plays with closed eyes (right). Through a doorway partly covered with curtains the bride and bridegroom are seen embracing. On the wall is a placard: 'They dance in a round, cutting capers and ramping. A mercy the ground did not burst with their stamping.The floor is all wett, with leaps and with jumps, while the water and sweat, splish splash in their pumps'."--British Museum online catalogue.
