Abstract:
"A sailor stands full-face, legs astride, hands plunged through the bottomless pockets of his jacket; he squints violently, one eye turned on an uproar (left), the other on two termagants (right). His broken pipe, still smoking, lies at his feet. He says: "I am hardup--not a Quid left, or Shot in the Locker--to pay the Fiddler--Mi Eyes--what a Squall, how it whistles trough the Ratlines I must Braill up and Scudd under Bare Poles." A prostitute with a patched face (left) kicks him and is about to bring down a fiddle with broken strings on his head. This she has snatched from a man with a wooden leg and patched eye-socket who lies on the ground at her feet. Another woman (right) yells at him, holding out an enormously long bill on which are such items as 'D°', often repeated, and 'Sundreys', 'Lodgings', 'Grog', 'Fidler'. Behind her an old bawd in the bar points to a chalked-up score, where signs for guineas are marked. On the left a watchman with a lantern enters, springing his rattle, which is inscribed 'St C'."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"A sailor with a hideously carbuncled face lies in a hammock wearing a striped shirt and night-cap. Beside him is his sea-chest, the open lid inscribed 'Sea Stock', from which he has taken a bottle of 'Grogg'. He shakes his fist at an old-fashioned doctor, lean and grotesque (left), who stoops towards him proferring a box of 'Pills' and holding a long bottle labelled 'A Sweat'. Under the doctor's arm is a gold-headed cane, and from his coat-pocket project a 'Clyster' [pipe] which is exploding, and a bottle of 'Jollop'; beside him are a 'Pestel' and 'Mortar'. He says: "hold--I must stop Your Grog Jack--it excites those impulces, and concussions of the Thorax, which acorn pany Sternutation by which means you are in a sort of a kind of a Situation--- that Your head must be--shaved--I shall take from you only--20os of Blood-- then swallow this Draught and Box of Pills, and I shall administer to you a Clyster." Jack answers angrily: "Stop my Grog.--Belay there Doctor--Shiver my timbers but your lingo bothers me--You May batter my Hull as long as you like, but I'll be d--'nd if ever You board me with your Glyster pipe." In his chest are bottles inscribed 'Brandy', 'Rum', and 'Gin', a large twist of 'Pig tail' [tobacco], a 'True Love Token', and a miniature (cf. British Museum Satires No. 10894). He is covered with a gaily patterned coverlet inscribed 'P R'. His jacket and breeches are on the deck beside him, and close by (left) are a cannon and cannon-balls."--British Museum online catalogue

"Lovegrove as Jeremiah Babble stands hat in hand before a solid rail, behind which is a grotesquely fat woman, dressed in her best, with a rope round her neck, at whom he points. Three other men stand by, one with a hand on Lovegrove's shoulder, the others inspecting the woman. The verses relate that Hobbs, 'a jolly Shoe-Maker', having 'caught a Tartar' for his wife tried to sell her at Smithfield, but the wife-dealing fellows, were all of them 'sellers'., Hobbs thereupon tried to hang himself with the rope, but his wife cut him down and: They settled their troubles, like most married couples, John Hobbs, John Hobbs, Oh, happy shoe-maker John Hobbs. Such wife-selling was a common practice, popularly believed to be a legal method of divorce (and so reported by foreign visitors). 'Any Thing New' was a musical farce by Pocock, first played by the English Opera Company at the Lyceum on 1 July 1811. The song illustrated was the chief hit, being twice encored, then a remarkable event; it is printed in full in the 'Europ. Mag.' lx. 43."--British Museum online catalogue

"A handsome young courtesan sits by the fire, her legs crossed indecorously, her breast bare; she has a decanter at her elbow, and holds a glass of wine.

"A grotesquely fat woman, much decolletee, sits at a piano (left) singing and playing, her left foot on the pedal. With upturned eyes and gaping mouth she sings: "Just like love ..." [three times]. Her music book is open at: 'Just like Love a Favorite Song Sung by Mr Braham'. A fat man in old-fashioned dress, standing just behind her, his hands raised in surprise, turns to address two younger men who are fashionably dressed. He asks: "Don't my Lady play and Sing delightfully? she was finished under the famous Sigr Squawlletti." The man on the extreme right, holding his friend's arm, says: "By G- if the Signior had been under my Lady she would have finish'd him! would'nt She Sir Thomas." The other laughs: "Ha! Ha! Ha! come that's a good one!"--British Museum online catalogue

"A sequence of six scenes in compartments arranged in three pairs. [1] A foal lies beside its dam. [2] The owner leads the high-stepping animal across a race-course; behind (right) is the weighing-post. [3] Ridden by a huntsman he takes a flying leap over a wall; hounds run beside the animal. [4] He is one of a pair of galloping horses in a post-chaise, ridden by a postilion. An ugly couple sleep uneasily in the chaise. [5] As an emaciated pack-horse he plods along a rough track, thrashed by a coarse old peasant woman. [6] A huntsman stands on his dead body, cutting off the flesh for the hounds; carrion birds hover."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
