Abstract:
"Three sailors ride away from the sea-shore (right) where a man-of-war is at anchor. All are in difficulties. A fourth is on his hands and knees on the extreme left; he looks up to say: "Mind what you are at Messmates for I am upset, and the frigate I came on board of--has been under weigh, without me this half hour." The foremost, clasping his rearing horse round the neck, looks back to say: "Keep more to the Star-board and be D--d, to you--dont you see how you make my vessel, run a head." The next man is tied to his galloping mount with heavy ropes; and he says: "Here I come my Hearty's --Right and tight,--smart sailing, but never mind that--I cant be cast away for my commander, Heavens bless him has lash'd me to the deck, with some tough Old Cables!" The last sailor's horse kicks with tail erect; he exclaims: "D--n me--how she heaves. Why this is worse than a Jolly Boat, in the Bay of Biscay. and what a D--d noise she makes in her poop--Signals for sailing I suppose"."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"A young man, thin, dark-haired, and sallow, leans back in his chair smoking a hookah: the long coiled tube is attached to a receptacle supporting a small brazier at which an Indian servant (right), crouching on the floor, is blowing; he wears breeches with an open shirt. His feet are on an oval table beside writing-materials. He faces an Indian wearing a turban and scanty draperies, who stands (left), reading near-sightedly from a long document. The Indian says: "Got Bill-Massa's name." The other answers: "No Money-come next month." A second servant stands behind his master's chair working a primitive punkah attached to a pole. Apparently a companion plate to No. 11832. Holland also published 'Money Lenders in Calcutta!' n.d. (A. de R. viii. 194). For the money-lender cf. No. 12722."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Scene in the vaulted ante-room of a dungeon. The turnkey, keys in hand, accepts with wary enjoyment the blandishments of a pretty young woman, whose interest is clearly in the fate of a handsome youth seen through the bars above a padlocked barrier on the right. A grotesquely obese and misshapen man (right) approaches the turnkey with a jug and frothing glass. Behind the latter (left) is a table with a shoulder of mutton and a small cask. A cat plays amicably with a dog. Heavy fetters hang from the walls, and there is a heavily barred door; a vaulted recess leads to a second dungeon. The place is lit by hanging lamps."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"The nurse, a respectable-looking woman wearing a cap and apron, stands in profile to the right beside an open coffin placed on trestles; she rests her left hand on a shrouded protuberance. In her right is a glass filled from a bottle of 'Gin' on a table (left). The coffin lid rests against the wall: 'Gabl Paunch Citizen and Alderman of Gobble Ward Obeit [sic] Novr 10th 1810 Ætat 45 Years'. A plate on the ornate coffin is decorated with a bottle, bird, glass, &c. On a chest of drawers are many medicine-bottles all labelled: 'Opening draught Aldn Paunch'. An alderman's gown hangs on the wall. Torn papers lie beside a chair: 'List of City Feasts for the Year 1810' and 'Swan Hop'. [Upping]. A round bath or tub is on the floor (left). The nurse says: "Ah! all the good things of this world wont save us e'faith!! this belly I warrant you has held as many bottles of wine in it's time as ever a Getter in the City, well poor Mr Alderman Paunch! God rest his Soul! he was a good creature! He never grudged the poor what he didn't love himself. Oh those poor pale lips! where's all the Chickens, and all the Capons, and all the Ducks, and all the turkeys, and all the pullets, and all the fowls, and all the game, and all the hams, and all chines, and all the haunches of Venison, and all the turbot, and all the Salmon, and all the fish, and the beef and the turtle, and the marrow-pudding, and the pies, and the Custards, and all the dainties, it has cost the City so much money for, what will he do poor soul if there's no such good things where he is gone too.""--British Museum online catalogue
