The Tom and Jerry stand arm in arm, watching a scene of 'drunkenness, beggary, lewdness and carelessness-a complete picture of "Low Life" (in Wych Street, Strand). A woman climbs over the back of a bench to fight another as mugs and plates fly. On the fire (right) is a huge pot with a tap, at which a man fills a mug. A battered prostitute toasts a muffin. One man, of 'shabby-genteel' appearance, 'was once one of the gayest young swells upon the town'. Over the fire are cracked pictures: Innocence and Virtue. Mugs are stacked on shelves

"Illustration to Pierce Egan's Life in London, page 232. A night scene on the east side of Temple Bar, which frames the Strand and St. Clements in the background, lit by a full moon. Tom (rigjht) overturns a watchman's box from which a poor terrified old man leans out shrieking. A fellow-watchman (left) springs his rattle and shouts. Behind Tom is Jerry, much amused, between two gaily dressed prostitutes who cling to him."--British Museum online catalogue

The interior of a watch-house at night. The constable in charge sits in his hooded chair (right), book and pen at his right hand, holding his long pipe, a tankard beside him. He frowns perplexedly at Tom, who stands at the bar declaiming, an angry and damaged watchman pointing to him. Jerry struggles with several watchmen, and by the door (left) a man fees a watchman
