- Abstract:
- "Frontispiece to forty-nine (coloured) plates, see British Museum Satires nos. 10816-63. The title, &c., is engraved on a framed tablet supported on a stone base in front of which are figures. An aged miser, moribund and toothless, seated in an armchair which is also a commode, is violently jolted by Death (left), a skeleton, who seizes the chair and tilts it backwards. The man has swathed gouty legs and holds a crutch; he wears a nightcap and dressing gown. Death has dropped his hour-glass. The old man looks with impotent anger at his young wife and her lover (right) who with defiant exultation pillage his 'Strong Box'. She has taken out money-bags, and holds up to him one inscribed 'Pin Money'; her foot rests on a 'Post Obit'. The young man is behind her, running forward, and holding up a bag of 'Pocket Pieces' whose contents he scatters. Beside him on the ground are a paper: 'Sale of Timber', and a book: 'Turf Callender - Cock Fighting'. Above the tablet are swags of leaves supported by a tragic and a comic mask. From the ends are suspended (left) a tambourine, (right) pan-pipes."--British Museum online catalogue.

On the ground, between the curtains, the space is filled by a large open book: 'Thou shalt not commit Adultery' and by papers inscribed 'Dearest Dear' and 'My Darling.', with inkpot and pen."--British Museum online catalogue.

- Abstract:
- "Many heads, grotesque and otherwise, are grouped round an oval space ... . The figures along the lower margin are half length, and look upwards. Some seem to be characters in a masquerade. They include (above): an ugly old parson preaching (the centre figure), flanked by a doctor sniffing a medicine-bottle, and a lawyer shouting from his 'Brief'. Above him is the head and arm of a soldier, in violent action, and with a skull (Death) grinning at his unconscious profile. There are also (inter multa alia) a pretty young woman with an infant, a grossly drink-blotched monk holding a bottle, a devil clasping a young woman wearing a small mask across her eyes, a witch with a broom, a Chinese, a Turk. ... This title-page is not used in either of two sets of the [Caricature] magazine inspected."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a proof state.
