Abstract:
"Scene on the pavement before the open door of a London house (right). A fashionable young man addresses an amateur whip, both disregarding the duns who clamour round the latter: "you've Got your Greys yet I see! I thought you wanted to get rid of them". The other answers: "O! no! keep my Greys if I can! but I want cursedly to get rid of my Duns!" He wears the long coat with many capes of a coachman, and is about to mount the box of a coach and four which waits (left), a groom standing by the near wheeler. On the coach-door is inscribed (in reversed characters) 'No Inside Passenger', above a coronet and crest: an arm holding a whip, with the motto 'Forward'. The duns include a butcher's boy with a long bill, saying, "Master says he can't Bang up Prime to Smithfield without some whipcord", and a milk-boy who says "Mrs Curd desires you'll curb the Milk Score a little Sir!" The others, who are partly hidden, say: Mr Nead the Baker will be glad to touch the bit Sir!"; "Mr Calf the Boot Maker Sir would be glad to touch the Spanish [money]"; "Mr Giblet the Poulterer desires you'll not make a Goose of him."; "I can't let your Sarvants have any more small beer & brickdust that's pos [a woman]"; "Mr Sheers the Taylor Sir, is reduced to a Button unless you send some stay Tape"; "Mr Sweetherb the greengrocer will send nothing but Crabs till the Bill is paid; Mr Stilton the Cheesemonger begs you'll consider him and let him have ever such a Mite; Mr Copal the coachmaker can't send the new Curricle, without some of the Main Spring"; "Mr Sherry the Wine Merchant can't get into Port without you raise him the Wind". All doff their hats with respectful anxiety. Above the design: 'Prime of life to go it, where's a place like London!" Four in hand to-day, the next you may be undone; vide Hit or Miss'."--British Museum online catalogue

From one of his pockets spirts the contents of a bottle of wine, from the other a cold chicken is pulled out by two hounds while others approach with fierce intentness.

Abstract:
"A fat cook sleeps by the kitchen fire in an arm-chair with her feet high up on the chimney-piece. She holds a glass filled from a bottle of 'Cherry Bounce' at her elbow. Close beside her a comely plump kitchen-maid is also asleep, with her arm round the neck of a negro footman who sleeps on her shoulder. All have beatific smiles. Before the fire a cat sleeps on the back of a dog. Cooking utensils stand on the chimney-piece and hang from the wall; dishes on a dresser complete a crowded interior."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
