A pretty young girl with long hair under a huge mob cap sits on the knees of a fat clergyman who in turn sits astride a cart made from a cask of ale marked 'October'. One of the wheels of this cart is labelled "Cheshire"; the cart is being pulled by a sow whose three babies are suckling her. The clergyman is kissing the girl and holding a glass in his right hand. A devil stands on the back of the cask looking over the clergyman's head and the tip of his tail is in the glass. A signpost to the right reads "To the Bottom". A boar follows the cart at a distance. In the distant background on the left is a church

Abstract:
"A strip design of a sequence of eighteen figures, all men. Their gestures and expressions denote pleasure, surprise, or horror (real or affected). Over the head of each person the words he speaks are engraved. The first (left) runs forward in profile to the right, 'chapeau bras', both arms extended, exclaiming "Tis true". The next, looking away gloomily, says, "Tis Pity". A man, with a pleased smile, says "As tender as possible". His neighbour says "Dont mention it", to a man who says "Poo, Poo". The next, clenching his fist, says angrily, "God Zounds hold - your Tongue", addressing a foppish man who capers delightedly, saying "Ha Ha". The next, with a shocked (but pleased) expression says "O La !" to a man who answers, "Dear me you dont say so?" A stout man yawns "Heigh ho". A lean one says "O Fye". The next couple, addressing each other, say "Indeed!" and "There now". The next, highly pleased, says "I thought so" to an angry man who exclaims "The Devil!" A lean austere man, raising a hand, says "No sure". A foppish man, 'chapeau bras', bowing with his hand on his heart, says, "Depend upon it". The last, horrified, exclaims "O Lord! O Lord!"."--British Museum online catalogue
