"A design in six compartments arranged in two rows, each with a title. [1] 'Johnnys reception by "merry Tonkanoo at Negro Ball'. The ball is in an open shed with a negro fiddler seated high on a hogshead; most of the guests watch Johnny, the only white, and 'Tonkanoo' bowing to each other. The latter is a tall negro with huge false moustache and long wig, feathered hat, and wide-cuffed coat in imitation of English dress c. 1740, with breeches and bare legs. A negro behind Johnny disperses flies with a branch. A negro couple is dancing; the ladies are fully dressed, some with tall cylindrical hats. Behind are distant mountains. [2] 'Johnny dancing with Rosa--the Planters beautiful daughter'. At the same ball all the negroes form a background of admiring spectators while Johnny, still wearing his enormous hat, dances with a pretty English girl in conventional evening dress, holding both her hands. Tonkanoo stands with his arms extended towards them. In the foreground (left) is a little naked negro Cupid with bow, quiver, and arrows, pointing to the couple. [3] 'Johnnys Courtship and professions of Love to Rosa'. Rosa reclines on a sofa under a piece of drapery looped from a tree; Johnny (left), hat in hand, kneels at her feet while the Cupid aims his bow at him. A pet monkey sits beside Rosa, and behind her (right) stands a negro girl brushing away flies with a branch. Johnny's servant is behind (left) holding an umbrella. Two cockatoos bill on a branch. [4] 'Johnny and the fair Rosa tripping to the Altar of Hymen'. The pair run hand in hand along a path which winds to a church resembling an English village church. Negro servants run after them, one holding up a large umbrella. Before them run two little negroes; one is Cupid playing a fiddle, the other, Hymen, holds up a lighted torch. In the distance, nearing the church, are the parson and his clerk. [5] 'Nuptial ceremony of Johnny and the charming Rosa'. In a Gothic church the parson with his book stands behind a cylindrical altar on which are two hearts transfixed by an arrow. Johnny puts the ring on Rosa's finger. The congregation are delighted negroes and negresses. Against the altar sit Cupid and Hymen; Cupid wears Johnny's huge hat and plays the fiddle; Hymen blows at his torch. [6] 'Johnny and his fair Bride reveling in Jollity and festive mirth'. Johnny, tipsily jovial, his father-in-law, and Rosa, sit at table, drinking, the men smoking, many bottles of 'Sangaree' on the floor. A man fiddles, and in the background a dance is in progress. Johnny wears his planter's hat, &c., as in British Museum Satires No. 11983, and has always a swarm of flies round his head. Rosa throughout wears her ball-dress, with feathers in her hair."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

A group of men sit around a table celebrating the new year as the clock passes midnight. Several of the men are quite drunk and one has fallen from his chair. Others laugh and talk as they toast each other with glasses of wine. One man is wearing a punch bowl on his head as his companion toasts the crowd with another steaming bowl of punch. The bowl is elaborately decorated with an oriental theme

A view of wartime merriment: A procession of sailors and their women, escorted by fiddlers, passes a background of shops towards a gateway across the end of the street (left). The purveyor of the jollification, a sailor who has inherited money, sits astride a cask of 'real Jamaica' supported on poles carried by sailors, who wave hat and tankard towards the crowded first-floor windows. Men and women dance along the street. There are many incidents. A Jew, talking to another Jew outside a shop placarded 'Moses Slop-Shop', has his hat twitched off by the cane of a sailor who leans from above the doorway. The sailors carry an Ensign flag and a flag inscribed 'Leander, and are making for the Point

"A wild turmoil of men and women in court dress or uniform outside Buckingham House, which is indicated in the background, with a covered way or awning leading to the doorway from the right. Two beefeaters stand before the door and above the crowd, holding up their arms and yelling: Keep back, Keep back Put off postponed till the first of next April. Prominent figures in the foreground are (right), a field-marshal (? Prince Leopold) with a hussar officer (? Prince Esterházy). The former steps on and tears the train of a lady who looks round in angry dismay. She and an absurdly dandified Lancer officer are the central figures in the foreground. Women and men are prostrate, and there are many incidents. A barrister with (?) Brougham's profile drives his elbow savagely into the face of a bishop. Plumed shakoes, helmets, and cocked hats tower above the crowd. An arm holds up a lady's feathered wig and curls on the point of a sword. Complaints are inscribed along the upper margin: [1] Have I not borrowed the Duchess's last Birth Day suit & had it transmogrified to prevent its being known again, at the expence of 1.13.9 & and only to be hustled. [2] ever since four Oclock this morning, under two men & three maids suffering purgatory to be made an April Fool of. [3] I never looked so bewitching in all my life. [4] What a cut. [5] have I been up all night, Dressing, perfuming, painting, & plastering to be served thus. [6] What after hiring all these dashing Diamonds & Jewels at such an extravagant price & not to be suffered to shew them insulting, provoking. [7] was to have been Presented now I suppose shall be Represented [? caricatured]. The last speaker is a fat lady who tugs at a man's bag-wig"--British Museum onling catalogue
