Abstract:
"John Bull stands on a stone on tiptoe under a tree, a rope round his neck attached to a branch of the tree. He holds the rope with both hands, to prevent strangulation. On the right stands a Frenchman (France) holding out a leek to John Bull, between them is a stream or river. John Bull is a moderately stout man with a thick neck, wearing an ill-made bob-wig, not the characteristic John Bull of later satires, who had already appeared, see British Museum Satires Nos. 5611, 5612. The Frenchman is very thin, wearing a night-cap, a long pigtail queue, a ruffled shirt, and sabots stuffed with grass."--British Museum online catalogue

"A domestic interior. In the upper margin is engraved, "Give me the sweet delight of Love - a Catch", and the design illustrates the lines of the catch: "A smoky house, a failing trade, Six squalling brats, and a scolding jade." A man (full-face) stands disconsolately, his hands clasped while his virago of a wife (left) threatens him with her fist. One small child pulls his coat and points to a little brother kicking on the floor, while a rather older girl weeps with her pinafore to her eyes, and another boy blows a trumpet. This group is on the right. On the left one child clutches another by the hair. The man's toes protrude through one of his shoes, he is without breeches, and these hang from a nail on the wall (right) next his wife's hat. A parroquet sits screeching on the outside of its cage. The plaster has fallen from the wall in patches, showing bricks. A smoky fire burns in the grate (left); on the chimney-piece are tea-things."--British Museum online catalogue
