Two prostitutes stand on a street identified as the notorious Gunpowder Alley; the one woman on the right with crossed-arms turns her head to talk to a short man. On the left, a man in a shop with a sign over the door "Booth's Best British Gin" pours a glass for a woman who stands at the counter. On the wall behind the two women are posters: "Leakes slavation exploded one small pill is a dose ..." and "Globe Insuranc. Lives & Property saved from Fire."

A angry old hag sitting in a chair is lowered into a body of water by jeering crowd. A little boy on the right urinates in her direction. A cat in a bowl floating in the water howls in her direction. A calf sits between the large man blowing a trumput. Various people in the crowd show their merriment by dancing, hitting a pot with a hammer, blowing a horn, and drinking gin
