Abstract:
"A scene of disorder; men sitting and standing round a circular table; they are smoking, gesticulating and drinking. A very fat man, seated on the farther side of the table, wearing a hat and smoking, his hands folded, says,"we want men of Activity". His neighbour, also smoking, adds "To destroy all their Looms". The next man (left), clenching his fists, says, "Blood & Guts, what are we all about - our Armys are grazing in Idleness, like a Flock of Sheep till they die of the Rot - I'd send them to Slaughter all the Cattle on the Enemy's Coast & make the Papist Scoundrells keep a long Lent of it". A man (right) holding up a foaming tankard, says "Old England will never be conquer'd while we can Brew such Drink as this". A barber, a comb stuck in his hair, an implement for curling hair protruding from his pocket, leans back in his chair, saying, "We're all in the Suds - I could shew them a way to lower their French Toupees". On his right stands the figure of 'Prattle' (Atkinson of Pall Mall), as in British Museum Satires No. 5603 but in reverse. He is saying, "Beg your Pardon my Dr Sir, meant no Offence my Dr Mr Tallow - too much Love & Respect - your Perfectly in the Right - of the same Opinion of my Led & I - they'll never Invade us as you say & my Lud Chatter observed to me the other Night at Lady Carbuncles". He is addressing a stout man standing on the left of the table, who flourishes a stick in his right hand while with a blow from his fist he overturns a punch-bowl, having upset a tankard, a lemon, and a number of wineglasses which are falling to the ground. He says "Dont Talk to me of your Dukes & your Lords, I'm a True Born Englishman, & dont care for Nobody not I - they dare not invade us - Damme they dare not - you Glister Pipe, you pitiful Plaister Spreader You------". A dog barks at him. A thin and rather ragged-looking man on his right, his hands in his breeches pockets, says "Invade us - Damme, what can Soup Meager do against Beef & Plumb Pudding"; a pair of scissors projecting from his coat-pocket shows that he is a tailor; his stockings are ungartered and his shoes are unbuckled. On the extreme left an elderly man with a tie-wig and wearing a hat and pince-nez, sits in a chair reading a newspaper; he holds up a hand in dismay saying, "All's lost". Behind stands a waiter, his napkin under his arm, saying "Dr Prattle says right - I'll go over to the Opposition and never drink another Pot with my Lords Footman". Hats are hung up on the wall, and a bracket-clock shows that it is one o'clock."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"George III, wearing a crown and ermine-trimmed robe is seated in an arm-chair asleep. The tassels of his girdle are thistles, indicative of Scottish influence. Round his neck is a chain from which hangs a cross, indicating the Romanizing tendencies of which he was accused at this time, see British Museum Satires No. 5534, &c. His crown is being taken from his head by a judge in wig and ermine-trimmed robes, evidently Mansfield. Over the king's shoulder looks a Scot in Highland dress, evidently Bute, holding the sceptre which he has taken from the king's hand. He leans towards Mansfield saying "What shall be done with it?" Mansfield answers, "Wear it Your sel my Leard." On the king's left a man stands who holds in both hands the other side of the crown, he says, "No troth I'se carry it to Charly & hel not part with it again Mon!" He is dressed an an English gentleman, though his language indicates that he is a Scottish Jacobite; he is perhaps intended for some unpopular Scot, perhaps Wedderburn, then attorney-general. Behind the king's chair America, wearing a feathered head-dress, watches the scene; he says "We in America have no Crown to Fight for or Loose." In the foreground (right) sits Britannia asleep, her head resting on her hand; by her side lies the British lion, also asleep and chained to the ground. At her feet are two maps, one of "Great Britain" (torn) lies on one of "America". On the left stands a man in rags with bare legs and dishevelled hair, clasping his hands together and saying "I have let them quietly strip me of every Thing"; he appears to represent the British commercial community. An Irishman next him, a harp under his arm, walks away saying "I'le take Care of Myself & Family". The background to these figures is a hedge; behind it on the right is a Dutchman (the United Provinces) helping himself to the contents of two hives."--British Museum online catalogue

Two designs on one plate. Design on top: A fat woman sits in a nightgown on the edge of a curtained bed while her husband (right) yawns in an armchair, glass and decanter beside him. He has dropped a (broken) pipe and his book: 'Memoirs of an Amorous Fat Rump'd Old Tabby'. She watches him anxiously, holding out his nightshirt to the fire (left). An elderly maidservant leaves the room with warming-pan and candle, looking over her shoulder much amused. On the chimney-piece by the bed are bottles labelled 'Restorative Drop' and 'Corn Plais[ter]'. A cat and kitten sit by the fire. Design below: A young man and a pretty courtesan caress each other on a sofa. Beside them are wine and fruit on a round table; a dog sits on hind legs looking up at the couple. Behind a curtain (right) a degraded-looking woman drinks furtively. See British Museum online catalogue
