"Four card-players at a round table in an old maid's parlour, with expressions that indicate a crisis in the game. A monkey sits on the back of the hostess's chair, about to snatch off her cap. A cockatoo is on a high perch before a tall folding screen decorated with prints. A kettle boils on the fire."--British Museum online catalogue

"Scene in a neat parlour or music room, with open square piano and lyre-back chairs. A middle-aged termagant, coquettishly dressed, has overturned her chair and stands with raised fist, shrieking at a very young man in riding-dress. He sits (left) with hat and riding-switch beside him, bewildered and passive; his dog takes cover under his chair, looking sideways at an aggressive cat which arches its back against its mistress. A cockatoo screams from its perch. On the piano, which is inscribed Row Maker, is an open music-book: Blow High. Blow Low; on the floor is a book open at Wake to Ecstacy the living Lyre. Behind the woman's head is a convex wall-mirror, topped by a carved eagle which looks fiercely down. This is flanked by two sea-scapes: Calm (left), ships becalmed, and Storm (right), a ship struck by lightning and about to be submerged in towering waves."--British Museum catalogue

"The mother sits beside an open work-table, receiving the children whom a black footman ushers in, looking round the door and grinning broadly. The eldest girl has rushed into her mother's arms; a little boy stands beside her, gleefully welcoming a younger girl who is running forward. The eldest boy, on whom his mother's eyes are fixed, advances nonchalantly, blowing a trumpet. A cockatoo screeches on its perch. There are two pictures: Harvest Home and Happy Return, a woman at her cottage door greeting a youth."--British Museum online catalogue

"Mrs. Clarke (left) and Mrs. Carey (right) (see British Museum Satires No. 11050) berate each other; both wear evening dress, with feathers in their hair, those of Mrs. Carey being the taller. The Duke, wearing regimentals, watches the quarrel, equally distant from both. Mrs. Clarke, arms akimbo, says: "Why how now Madam Carey, although you are so Warey In saveing of your cash, John Bull and I we both will try, And settle all your hash." [see 1803 Isaac Cruikshank print for an earlier use of this phrase, BM impression 1868,0808.7141/ PPA108823] Mrs. Carey retorts: "Why how now Madam Clarke------ Why since you thus can chatter------ And thus betray your spark------ I wonder whats the matter with, you, Madam Clarke!!" The Duke looks at Mrs. Clarke, stopping his ears, a leg raised in angry protest; he says: "Zounds! the thunder of Valencienes was Music to this". Behind Mrs. Clarke is a cockatoo on a high perch, screaming: "go it! go it"; a chair has been overturned, and a mastiff, its collar inscribed 'John Bull', barks at the Duke. A small dog behind Mrs. Carey also barks. She stands with her back to the fire. On the chimney-piece a china Cupid aims his arrow at a heart on the trunk of a tree."--British Museum online catalogue
