"On the pavement outside a pawnshop are a man selling pamphlets and a woman with household goods tied up in two handkerchiefs. The man is a ragged shambling scarecrow, tall and thin, with a battered top-hat, shock of hair, and huge whiskers (signs of dandyism). On his tall pole is a placard 'NO POPERY', the latter word bisected by the pole. He squints downwards, saying, 'a full account of the Interest taken by the whole House'. The woman, stout and proletarian, wearing a red cloak and an apron, looks up at the placard, saying, 'No Pop--ery eh? I suppose since Old Grindall's Sons got into the Parliament, they are asham'd of their Trade--well there is plenty of other pop-ery's about--& as to Interest they always took enough of that you ugly Scarecrow.' On the closed shop-door (left) are the three balls sign and Pawnbrokers '[M]oney Lent'. In the window hang watches, &c. The cobbled roadway leads (right) towards the arched entrance of a narrow alley: 'Poppings Court'."--British Museum online catalogue

"The Duchess of St. Albans, fat, flamboyant, moustached, and smiling, stands on a carpeted floor, a glove in one hand, three large feathers in her hair. Curious draperies decorate a deep border to her skirt, and are seemingly intended for money-bags. On the wall is a small framed picture of a melon (cf. British Museum Satires No. 15458). Above: 'Sure thou wert form'd by all the Gods in Council; Who having made a lucky hit, | beyond their journey-work, Cry'd out,--"This is a Woman!"'."--British Museum online catalogue
