A view of a room in which five black workers in loincloths and two with red caps prepare tobacco by dipping it in a chamber pot as three white men charactured in pants and thin waists and with startled faces look in. A sixth black man is being sick into a pot as he leans against the barrel on the left is stamped "Hospital tub"; a speech bubble above his head reads "Wha [...] tink! de smell make me sick. The man to his right replies, "You mak'a nice ting for Massa Poodle to suck!" The white man to his right says "Oh the Negro, is that the way they make the high flavored cigars, I'll never suck another." The black man center holds his nose and says "Fever mak'a de liquor much strong." A white leaning in from the right says "the fithy rascals high flaver'd indeed, ugh!" A black man in the far right rolling the tobacco into cigars, foreground, answers, "Sok'a well sok'a well. Massa Buckra like plenty flavour." A monkey looks down from the rafters

"An ugly elderly man, emaciated but paunchy, stands in profile to the left, head thrown back, in the effort to swallow. His right fingers are crisped as he throws over his left shoulder the contents of a tumbler. He wears night-cap, dressing-gown, and slippers, with unbuttoned garments and stockings festooning his legs. He faces a smouldering fire. The small chimney-piece is covered with medicine-bottles; above it hangs a cracked mirror. A torn hearth-rug, minute tripod washstand with broken jug, and a truckle-bed in disorder heighten the picture of sordid discomfort, but the impression is conveyed that this is due to feckless neglect rather than poverty. Under the bed a mouse scampers off. Beside it is a candle covered with extinguisher."--British Museum online catalogue
