A view of a room in which five black workers in loincloths and two with red caps prepare tobacco by dipping it in a chamber pot as three white men charactured in pants and thin waists and with startled faces look in. A sixth black man is being sick into a pot as he leans against the barrel on the left is stamped "Hospital tub"; a speech bubble above his head reads "Wha [...] tink! de smell make me sick. The man to his right replies, "You mak'a nice ting for Massa Poodle to suck!" The white man to his right says "Oh the Negro, is that the way they make the high flavored cigars, I'll never suck another." The black man center holds his nose and says "Fever mak'a de liquor much strong." A white leaning in from the right says "the fithy rascals high flaver'd indeed, ugh!" A black man in the far right rolling the tobacco into cigars, foreground, answers, "Sok'a well sok'a well. Massa Buckra like plenty flavour." A monkey looks down from the rafters

"McAdam, in Highland dress, stands astride, each foot resting on a post, a large bag of Sovereigns under each arm. Below his legs are two ragged stone-breakers plying their hammers on heaps of stone for road-making. From the left post projects to the left a finger-post: Great West Road; from the other, a similar finger-post: Great North Road. On the former road pedestrians are plunging deep in mud, on the latter they are smothered in dust. In the background, framed by the legs of the Colossus, is a windmill: Breakstone Mill. On the left a wagoner leads his cart through a slough."--British Museum online catalogue

"Three separate scenes blend into a single design. The dialogue is etched in the lower margin. On the left a young girl sits on the knee of her father, a stout drink-blotched man wearing a plain old-fashioned wig, breeches, and top-boots. She takes his chin, saying insinuatingly: Lord, Papa! you must let us go to the Continent ; Mrs Thingamary says we shall never be accomplished till we have seen the Paris manners and customs. A round mirror is topped by a coronet. In the centre two dandies stand on a London pavement, against a background of tall houses. One, dressed in French fashion, with a moustache, a small hat perched on curls, and trousers pinched at the knee, stands with folded arms and a theatrical scowl. The other, wearing strapped trousers, tail-coat, and bell-shaped top-hat, smokes a cigar and holds a riding-whip; he asks: Well, Charles, where are you off to? Answer: O! moy dear feller, to Paris--to Paris, moy dear feller; nothing like Paris --there you have the--the--the--Je ne sçais quoi, moy dear feller, the--the every thing the every-thing!!-- On the right two ladies sit facing each other across a small round table. One wears a huge hat with broad flat brim trimmed with ribbon loops and streamers, the other a hat with wide brim bent bonnet-wise; both have big gigot sleeves, and full skirts. Below: Lord, ma'am! you are not serious,--you can never think of going to Margate--it is so common every tailor, shoemaker, and linendraper goes to Margate--No, no ma'am; Paris is the great resort of pure gentility, I assure you.--I always goes to Paris."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
