On the wall a pictures amplifies subject of the print: two cocks fight in a yard

A man wearing a shirt or surplice stands with both arms held up, from one hand dangles a (?) burnt rag. A mastiff (right) snarls at the cat."--British Museum online catalogue

A young man sits on a bench under a tree as he holds the hand of a pretty young maid. A piece of paper in her pocket has the words "Let us Polly do so to". At her side (right) a little boy plays gentle with a nest filled with eggs. A magpie sits on the edge of a basket filled with eggs. The young man points left to a pair of love birds on the wall behind, a dove cote in the yard of the house beyond. From behind the tree an old woman looks at the scene with anger, her first clenched. The cat on the fence beside her looks ready to pounce

The husband and wife of British Museum satires number 14307 sit in a luxurious breakfast parlour, turning their backs on each other and the table. She caresses a cat, facing an empty grate (right); he is absorbed in a newspaper
"The interior of a dairy: George III (left), in shirt-sleeves, is churning; the Queen, dressed as a farmer's wife, sits in the window counting the coins which the Princess Royal pours on to the table. The Princess has a basket on her arm and is dressed like a country-girl. The Queen says, "Bless me, Child, you have made a very bad market! Good Heavens is it possible the people can be so unreasonable these plentiful times to expect six eggs for a groat! You shall tramp to London next market day." The King adds, "A very bad market girl, indeed, a very bad market girl - Limy shall go next" (cf. British Museum Satires No. 6947). Behind the King are shelves with bowls of cream, a furtive cat drinks from one of them. Above them, three milk-scores are chalked on the wall, headed, 'Cartwheel's score', 'The Widow Waggonrut', and 'Mrs Towser'. On the ground (left) is a pile of cheeses. Outside the wide doorway (right) Pitt, elegantly dressed, is milking a cow with a fastidious air; he sings: "I made war with Kate, a buxom Northern Lass: But such my cruel fate - " Thurlow, wearing a smock, stands with his back to Pitt, cracking a whip; he says, "She bid you kiss her A------! Damn the Whip I'll never learn the right smack of a Carter.""--British Museum online catalogue
