- "The interior of a church (? the Chapel Royal) showing pulpit, side-gallery, and pews beneath the gallery. Wilkes (left) is the preacher, beneath him is his clerk, Pitt. At a right angle to the gallery is the royal pew (right), from which the King looks with earnest attention to the preacher. Queen Charlotte, her fingers to her mouth, also listens attentively. A lady-in-waiting and a courtier with a long wand (Lord Salisbury, the Lord Chamberlain) stand behind. The pew is decorated with the royal arms and has a canopy. In the centre of the gallery sit the Prince of Wales and Mrs. Fitzherbert; he turns away from the preacher, looking at her. Behind him stands George Hanger; behind Mrs. Fitzherbert sits a man looking at Wilkes through a spy-glass. Between him and the royal pew are three men in legal wigs and gowns: Pepper Arden, Dundas, and (?) Kenyon. Between the Prince and the pulpit sit North (asleep) and Burke, looking intently at Wilkes; a lady (? Duchess of Devonshire) attempts to wake North. In the seats under the gallery sit parties of citizens, in general asleep or inattentive. Below the royal pew stands Fox on a low stool as a penitent draped in a sheet; he wears a placard inscribed 'For Playing Cards on the Lord's Day'. A stout lady with an aquiline nose stands near Pitt; with a raised whip she chases a number of dogs out of the church. She has some resemblance to the Duchess of Gordon, a friend of Pitt. Immediately behind Mrs. Fitzherbert and between two Gothic windows is a wall-tablet inscribed: 'This Tablet is erected to the memory of the renowned Plenipotentiary who died by the bow string a short time after his return to Algiers. Two maiden ladies of this Parish who tasted exquisite felicity from his Prowess, dedicate this frail memorial to his loved memory'. Cf. British Museum Satires No. 7935, &c.

- "Seven men (three-quarter length) are grouped round a card-table in a Smithfield tavern. One (right), young and innocent, inspects his cards; beside him an older countryman lies back asleep (right), his dog resting his head on his knee. The other gambler (left), holding his cards, looks at his victim. Three onlookers have crafty expressions. A fat man, smoking, approaches with a bowl of punch. In the bar (left) a fat woman chalks up a score. Coins, a watch, and pocket-book are on the table. A broken mirror and a picture of a horse decorate the walls. Beneath the table are twelve lines describing the sleep of 'Old Trusty' while his son is cheated by 'the Harpy-Tribe'."--Biriths Museum online catalogue

In 'The Gamesters', a mezzotint by Ward, after Peters, 1786, the card-sharper holding an ace behind his back is Rowlandson [Said to be the Prince of Wales, according to Challoner Smith (iv. 1485).]; the resemblance to the card-player in this plate, and in a mezzotint, 'A Game at Cribbage' ... is convincing., Sheet trimmed within plate mark., Twelve lines of verse in two columns on either side of title: Old Trusty with his town made friends ..., Temporary local subject terms: Gambling: sharpers -- Furniture: card-table -- Furniture: bar -- Countrymen -- Card players -- Barmaids -- Pocketbooks., and Mounted to 38 x 49 cm.
