- Abstract:
- "An obese old doctor sits between Mrs Clarke and a thin elderly officer (right), chapeau-bras, sitting grotesquely expectant on the edge of his Easy Chair. The doctor puts a money-bag inscribed 800 into the dress which Mrs. Clarke holds up to receive it, pointing to the officer, one Captain Tuck. From his pocket hangs a paper Doctor Doneover [Donovan] Agent to Old Nick-Deanery 2000, Commissary 1000, Majority 800 Mrs. Clarke (left) sits in a Ricketty Chair; its seat is Morocco Bottom [an allusion to Taylor, see No. 11218]; under her feet are three papers: My admirable angel My Dear dear pretty little darling; My Love my Life I cannot exist without you; Gazzette. She is one of Rowlandson's pretty meretricious women, and does not resemble Mrs. Clarke. Behind her is a curtained bed, its head inscribed Boudoir; above this hangs a bust profile portrait of Fredirick 2 beneath which a paper is pinned up: List of Candidates for Promotion Sums offered Clav . . . [Clavering, see No. 11247] 2000, Dow. [Dowler, see No 11253]-800, OM [O'Meara, see No. 11258] 300 .. . 200. Beside the bed is an ornate table with decanters and glass, and a paper: Rogues all sing tanta-ra-ra-Blood an Thunder when Whore and Rogue are rent asunder. On the floor is a book, Mrs Clarks Ledger, on which are papers spiked on a file: Promotions paid for. Two quotations from Gay's 'Beggars Opera' complete the design. Above the doctor's head, on a large scroll, are eight lines beginning:"Tis Woman that seduces all mankind, Under Tuck's chair is a paper: If you mention vice or bribe, Tis so pat to all the tribe-each cries that was levelled at me."--British Museum online catalogue

Lamps light the façade of the club, part of which is visible with three (lighted) windows on the first floor. Sheridan holds the Duke's right arm, and raises his right fist in a rhetorical gesture, saying, "And now, have at the Ministry, Damme!"; in his pocket are papers: 'Motions for to Badger Ministry'. The Duke says: "and Now for the Majesty of the People!" From his coat-pocket projects a bottle of 'Port'."--British Museum online catalogue

- "Scene at the door of a Portsmouth brothel, a corner-house. A handsome young prostitute, elaborately dressed, with curls, feathered hat, and fluttering sash, walks from it, gazing straight before her. Behind her is a fat and hideous bawd, hands on hips, who watches her with calculating malevolence. The bawd wears a watch and seals dangling from her waist; behind her is a doorway inscribed 'Hotel', with an oil-lamp (as in No. 11454) projecting from the door-post; a bell-pull is inscribed 'Ring the Bell'. Just within the door is a dark lobby lit by a lamp hanging from the ceiling and leading to a second (closed) door in which there is a small grille or judas. On the wall of the house is the inscription 'Portsmouth Dock', and three bills: 'From the Country an Assortment of Fresh Ware'; 'A Tragedy in Rehearsal'; 'Leakes Genuine Pills'. In the background is a humbler establishment, with irregular gabled roof and a porch inscribed 'Lodgings'. A sailor stands looking up at a woman who leans from the window with outstretched arms. Flames and smoke belch from the chimney. Behind it are masts and sails."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "An elderly schoolmaster sits by a writing-table, in profile to the right, addressing an old countrywoman who faces him, making a slight curtsey. Behind her (right) are four little boys, two with bags of books slung from the shoulder. The schoolmaster, who wears night-cap, slippers, and buttoned overcoat or dressing-gown, says: "Good woman you are always making complaints against my Scholars, what have they done to offend you now?" She answers: "Please your Honors Worship they followd me up and down--and said one to another--At her!--beat her! damn her!--pelt her!-- and a great deal more that I do not recollect". The leader of the boys, bowing, cap in hand, says: "Indeed Sir, we were only repeating our Greek Alphabet, in order to get quite perfect--what the Old Woman heard was only Alpha--Beta-- Gamma--Delta--and so on to the conclusion". The boys' expressions indicate a successful conspiracy."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

- "John Bull, a hideously carbuncled 'cit', looks down grinning at a semicircle of men on a much smaller scale who surround his half-length figure. They are (left to right) Napoleon, wearing a huge bicorne, who looks up to say 'Ships. Colonies and Commerce'. A man in military uniform, quite unlike Alexander, his back to Napoleon, says: "Russian Vengeance attend John Bull. A fat Dutch burgher puffs smoke towards John, saying, III eternally smoke him". A scowling man in civilian dress with tousled hair says: "Let him tremble at the name of America". Prussia, a handsome military officer in place of the damaged soldier who after Tilsit represented Frederick William III in English caricature, says: "Beware of Prussia". A similar officer (Francis I) says: "Austria will never Pardon him". A Spaniard wearing a cocked hat says: "Spanish Fury overtake him". A scowling face says: "Let him beware of Denmark". John says: "Dont make such a riot you little noisy Brats, all your bustle to me is no more than a storm in a Chamber pot"."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "A rich farmer's parlour or drawing-room, with curtains drawn over two high windows (right). Betty, plump and bucolic, wearing a high-waisted dress with short sleeves, sits at a square piano (left), in profile to the left, laboriously playing and singing, her eyes on the music: 'Bluebells of Scotland Sung by Mrs Jordan. O Where & O Where is my Highland Laddie gone'. The farmer and his wife stand by the piano, gaping in delighted admiration; they are stout, good-humoured, and plainly dressed. A younger girl, slimmer and less rustic, stands by the piano (left), singing; she holds up a fan. Under the piano is a book: 'Songs of Catalani'. Three elderly ladies sit at a card-table (right), on which are spread drawings or embroidery by 'B. Giles'. One sleeps, two gossip with spiteful zest. A son of the house sits primly with his back to the windows, in profile to the left, his hands folded, ill at ease in frilled shirt, and powdered hair. A small foot-boy enters from the right with a decanter and glasses on a salver and a cake-basket on his arm, the cakes falling out. A spaniel sits dejectedly in the foreground. The room is lit by two pairs of candles in sconces, two candles on the piano, and one on the table. The chairs are of modern shape, with stuffed backs and ormolu ornament. Above the chimney-piece is a heavily framed sampler with two alphabets, figures from 1 to 12, 'Evil communications Corrupt good Manners', and a design of two birds flanking two hearts pierced with arrows, inscribed: 'Betty Giles aged 16. 1808. Cheese Hall'. Over the piano in an oval frame is a view of 'Cheese-Farm': the corner of a house next a small thatched cottage and two haystacks. A gigantic horse looks over the cottage roof, and in the foreground a woman milks a large cow, beside which are two geese and a cock larger than the woman."--British Museum online catalogue
