An aspirational dustman in ragged clothes, a monocle hanging from his hat, and smoking a cigar, sits in a chair before the hearth reading a book, "An introduction to the pleasures of ... schince by Barnart Botherum [...] dedicated to the majesty of the people". On the table are bowl, a goblet and a bottle of Port. On the wall hangs a landscape and on the mantel a bust of Shakespeare. The dog at his feet stares at the fire, the bones of fish dinner on a plate beside him. A large bell sits on the floor beside the dustman

Hogarth is shown fleeing from a village, his hat flying off as a scolding woman at his side points to cow horns that appear over his head. The horns are numbered “1”, a reference to a table below to Hogarth's prints "Four times the day". A chimney sweep behind Hogarth holds up his print “H- [of] Prussia” as he steals from his satchel the 'March to Finchley'. Another chimney sweep -- numbered “2” referencing the table below that identifies him as "a painter"--rides a sow and carries a palette as a shield emblazoned with a “line of beauty”. Exemplifying the "lines of beauty". Hogarth's dog bits the woman's drapery; a greyhound steals from a pail hanging from the yoke of a milkmaid; a cripple with his crutch, wooden leg, and natural leg. The design includes numerous other references to other Hogarth prints and Centered below the main design is an etching of Hogarth in stocks under a pump. Mounted on the pump is a broadside inscribed: "Puggs proposals to his Dunces to humbug them by an election feast a burlesque on the wort[hy] members o[f Parlia]ment 1754." Parts of the image are lettered, referencing a table to the right

"An engraving, which is in some respects the sequel to "The Addressers", British Museum Satires No. 4273, and "The Battle of Cornhill", British Museum Satires No. 4274, showing a party of workmen and tradesmen assembled in a room of the Merchant Seamen's Office, which was over the Royal Exchange. They are grouped about a large table, on which lies a long scroll or address. The president is a butcher, with a naked knife hi his hand; a tray at his feet contains a shoulder of mutton; doubling his fist, he cries: -- "I shall stick my Knife in Magna Charta, & cut up the Carcase of the Sill of Rights." A lean, hungry -looking man, sits grinning behind the butcher; next to the sitter stands a porter who declares: -- "D--mn his swivel Eyes I wish he may sink under his load." This refers to the marked squint of John Wilkes, who was at this time in prison and strongly opposed to the Court; see "John Wilkes Elected Knight of the Shire", British Museum Satires No. 4189, and "The Scotch Victory. (A.)", British Museum Satires No. 4196. A Dutchman, probably Mr. Muilmann, see "The Addressers", British Museum Satires No. 4273, declares: -- " Ah ! de gross Scrip for Mynheer too"; this is in reply to a Jew who exclaims: -- " Oh for a large portion of Scrip.", i.e. probably subscription scrip to Government loans, which was very profitable to the lenders, and often alleged to be used as a bribe by the ministry; see "The Battle of Cornhill", British Museum Satires No. 4274, and "Frontispiece to the Middlesex Petition", British Museum Satires No. 4289. A barber, with a shaving dish and napkin under one of his arms, and holding a wig in one hand, stands before the scroll, signing his name to it; he says: -- "I've got an order for a new Wig, only for signing my Name." A gaunt Scotch pedlar, with a bale at his back, and carrying a wand, declares: -- "Saumy mun sign too, gin it be to the Deel, for my gued laird's sake", i.e. for the sake of the Earl of Bute, the reputed patron of Scotchmen, see "We are all a comeing", British Museum Satires No. 3823. A baker, with a basket of bread on his shoulders, approaches the table and says: -- "Brother Merchants follow my example & you'll never want Bread." A meagre chimney-sweep, clad in sooty garments, advances to the table and remarks: -- "Who knows but I may be appointed to a Chimney at Court.""--British Museum catalogue

Dedicated to the emperor of quacks, by myself., Description from British Museum: Beneath the design is engraved a musical score with the words of a song. A burlesque representation of the quack doctor James Graham (1745-94), who opened his 'Temple of Health' in the Adelphi in the autumn of 1779. Graham stands full-face; he holds in his mouth the end of the tail of a monkey which sits on his head. The monkey holds out a duck by one leg, which is saying "Quack Quack". Graham holds out in his right hand a circular box inscribed "Æthereal Pills". A medallion hangs round his neck, on which is a woman's head, inscribed "Female Historian". She is Mrs. Catherine Macaulay (see index) whom he treated at Bath, so gaining his first start. He stands between two gigantic men wearing large laced hats and long coats; one, "Gog" (left), in back view, the other, "Magog" (right), stands full-face holding a paper inscribed "Sketch of the Plan of the Temple of Health". These represent the gigantic footmen or porters who were among the attractions of the 'Temple' and who distributed bills advertising the establishment, see BMSat 6346 and Angelo, 'Reminiscences', 1904, i. 97. Between them, and above Graham's head, the words "Hail Wonderous Combination!" are etched. By the left margin of the print, two men are gazing at the spectacle, one clasps his hands in admiration or supplication. On the opposite side is a man grinning with two small boys who laugh and point, one of them a little chimney-sweep with brushes and sack., and This electronic record is derived from historic data and may not reflect our current information.

"Scene on the steps of a London club. A Life Guards officer with moustache and whiskers stares at two exotic-looking civilians who appear arm-in-arm, walking (right to left) along the pavement, both moustached and with whiskers of incredible length and luxuriance. These are worn with wide turn-down collars, one with a loosely knotted tie, the other with his tie passed through a ring, a contrast with the tightly curled whiskers and high stock of the officer. A Guards officer in a high bearskin, without moustache but with bushier whiskers than those of the cavalry officer, stands on the steps, stretching and yawning, his back to the whiskered civilians. Through the open sash-windows two whiskered civilians are seen, one raises a side of his collar, to which the whiskers seem to be attached; the other pompously caresses an immense whisker. A man of French appearance, whiskered and moustached, standing on the steps, gapes at the two pedestrians, whose whiskers have something of the lion's mane. This is stressed by a poster behind them headed by a picture of a lion: Nero is to be Seen . . . On a second poster is a bear: Bears' Grease for the Growth of Whiskers. Two bees make for the tawny whiskers of the taller pedestrian, who holds a riding-whip and is followed by a poodle with shaggy ears and shoulders. A woman in a bonnet and shawl (right) gapes in amazement. A little chimney-sweeper laughs."--British Museum online catalogue

"A fashionable dentist is extracting the teeth of the poor in order to insert 'live teeth' immediately into the jaws of his patients. In the centre a young chimney-sweep sits in an arm-chair, over the back of which the dentist leans, holding the boy's head, and inserting an instrument into his mouth. Next (left) a lady sits in a similar chair watching the sweep with a pained and angry expression; she holds a smelling-bottle to her nose; she has just endured an extraction and is about to receive a transplantation. On the right a good-looking young lady leans back, her fists clenched in pain, while a spectacled dentist peers closely into her face, placing his instrument in her mouth. Behind her a lean, ugly, and elderly man wearing regimentals stands in profile to the right, holding a mirror in which he inspects his mouth with a dissatisfied expression. On the left a ragged boy and girl are leaving the room, both crying with pain: the girl inspects the coin in her hand. On the door is a placard: 'Most Money Given for live Teeth'. A placard on the wall is headed by a coronet and two ducks, indicating quackery: 'Baron Ron------Dentist to her High Mightiness the Empress of Russia'. Cf. British Museum Satires No. 6760."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a later state
