On the left under the title "England" a bear sits at a table enjoying a hearty meal of roast beef and plum pudding while across from him sits a frog in a French uniform with a sword at his waist, a plate of only sauce before him and two turnips to the side. The fox toasts his companion with a glass while the bear holds up a large frothing mug of beer. A wine cooler in the foreground holds four bottles of wine. On the wall behind each figure is a round framed image: two birds above the bear and a woman holding a cross (a saint?) above the frog

Abstract:
"An obese 'cit' and his wife sit side by side at a small round breakfast-table, facing a tall handsome young woman who stands before them. The wife, registering surprise, asks: "What Situation in my Family woud you wish to undertake Young Woman." She answers demurely: "Ma'am I should like to be under Your Man Cook by Way of Improvement." The 'cit', excited and angry, exclaims: "What's that you say I'll be D--nd If you shall be under my Man Cook or any other man in my house." The fat cook, outside the open door (right), laughs uproariously. A large fierce cat advances towards the girl. On the table are tea-things, a large urn, and boiled eggs."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Two figures face each other made of tools, implements, &c. A carpenter, very thin and erect, is composed of a straw tool-bag, placed vertically and containing saw, plane, &c., supported on a pair of compasses for legs. The head is a mallet on which is a glue-pot, with gimlet, chisel, &c. An axe serves as arm. The gardener bends politely; the body is a watering-pot supported on a pair of shears. The head is a nosegay of roses, &c. tied to a spade; roses and lavender lie in a piece of drapery that serves as apron. A rake and hoe are thrust through the handle of the watering-pot. Below the Carpenter: 'With Bowels lank and Head of Mallet, The Joiner longs to taste a Sallad.' Below the gardener: 'Old Nosegay quite alert and busy, Has one to sell and asks a tizzey.'."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Two figures face each other made of domestic utensils. A housemaid (left), very erect, has a wooden bucket for a body supported on a mop and a long-handled floor-polisher, and is also concocted of a broom, a dust-pan, a brush, and a hearth-brush, with a check duster, &c. A cook (right) seems to bow courteously towards the housemaid. She is made of a 'Flour' barrel supported on a large ladle and two-pronged fork; a covered pot with pot-hooks hanging from the handle, a rolling-pin (as right arm) to which a colander is attached. There are also a grid-iron (or save-all), a small saucepan, a salt-box, and dangling metal skewers."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

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
