"A civic feast: men sit on each side of a table whose ends are cut off by the margins of the print. Four men sit on a bench on the near side of the table: a short man (left) in regimentals, his hair or wig in a long pigtail queue, probably an officer in the city militia, drinks from a tankard. Next him a man in bag-wig and laced coat is waggishly pouring the contents of a sauce-boat into the coat-pocket of the man on his right hand, who, quite unconscious of this, is stuffing into his other pocket provisions abstracted from the table. The man on the extreme left lifts his glass in his left hand, looking across to the man at the opposite corner of the table, who stands to return his toast. On the farther side of the table are six men. A waiter serves a stout man with wine. The wall of the room forms the background: in the centre is a chimney-piece, over which is the seated three quarter length portrait of a Lord Mayor wearing his civic chain and smoking a long pipe; his elbow rests on a table and on a document "Pro Magna Charta". An open book is "Lord Littleton on Co[ke]". On each side of the chimney-piece hang hats, one with a tasselled cane."--British Museum online catalogue

"The Devil (right), in the foreground and much larger than the other figures, stands Asmodeus-like on a house-top (cf. British Museum Satires No. 16160), overturning with a long pole a dinner-table and upsetting the guests who fall on clouds of Dust. He is a grotesque muscular creature with goat's legs, barbed wings and tail, and looks round with a triumphant grin at the spectator. The guests are also assailed by harpies, little winged men, whose bodies terminate in barbed and scaly tails. One of these (Corder), holding a long bill which rises into the air above him, assails a man (Roach) mounted on a cockroach and holding up a book inscribed Parish Acct; he is The Grand Carver mounted on his Cockroach.; from the cockroach's antennae hang two big keys, and it emits a tail-blast inscribed We are of the Select, against his assailant. The latter holds out a paper inscribed Majority 7 and says am I not the Elect. Another harpy holding out a constable's staff flies menacingly towards the cockroach, saying, By St Thomas I cheque this. Roach exclaims: I tell you it's all a farce so we have taken the liberty to Cribb the Books Keep the Keys tight Cockey. A third harpy threatens the feast with a pair of spurred cavalry boots, saying you will Do-Well to give in, showing he is T. W. Dow (a boot-maker of York Street, Covent Garden. P.O. London Directory, 1822), see British Museum Satires No. 15528. A fourth has seized a paunchy Vestryman by the nose; the victim screams Oh my Nose--Rose Water rose water--oh oh oh-- From the table fall birds, hare, tureen, decanter, pineapple, &c. The dust forms a background, and is inscribed Dust for the Eyes of the Parishioners; looming through it is the façade of St. Paul's, Covent Garden. The bill held by Corder is headed Dinners. The items are Richardson £8-5, Hodgson & Gan £47-11-0, wine 5. 3. 0.
