Abstract:
In an alcove on the right in an untidy garret, a man in a dressing-gown scratches his head as he writes on a sheet with the title "Riches a Poem". In the center of the image his wife is seated as she mends a pair of breeches; at her feet a cat and her kittens are curled up on the man's coat. Under the sleeve of the coat on the floor is an issue of "Grubstreet Journall." She looks to the door on the left where she is confronted by a milkmaid who holds a lengthy tally; the daisies in her bonnet suggest Michaelmas day when bills are due; she also is shown with a yoke across her back. Just inside the doorway a dog snatches the single pork chop from a plate on a chair; the cupboard above the door stands open to show empty shelves. Behind the poet, a baby lies in a bed crying. Above the poet's head is a print 'A View of the Gold Mines of Peru." Above the mantel is a "dare for larks" -- a circular mirror surrounded by eight smaller circular mirrors

Abstract:
A sea chest stamped "Tho Idle his Chest" set in a row boat on the Thames tells us that it is Tom Idle who is being rowed out to sea by a waterman smoking pipe. Using his fingers to make horns on his head, Tom also makes a face at the sailor who points to a gallows on the shore (Cuckold's Point), while another sailor shows him a rope. Idle's mother sits before him wiping her weeping eyes. In the background on shore are various ships and a line of windmills. In the lower left corner, Tom's Indenture floats on the waves.

"Sheridan and Fox are prisoners behind a bar on which they lean. Burke towers above them, with a stern frown, seizing each by the hair. He says: ""Behold the abettors of Revolutions, see "the authors of Plots & conspiracies, & take cognizance of the enemies of both "Church & State; - "I know them all, & have a while upheld, the unyok'd "humour of their Wickedness," - I have bore [sic] with them 'till the measure "of their iniquity is full; but now, I will bare them before ye Justice of injured "humanity, - I will prove unequivocally, that there exists at the present "moment, a junto of Miscreant Jacobites [sic], who are aiming at the Over-"throw of the British Constitution" - Vide Burkes Speech on the Quebec Bill - ". Sheridan (left) in profile to the left, his hands clasped, says with a terrified expression, "Ha! what's that? miscreant Jacobites! - plots Conspiracies! Revolution! - O! Damnation! we're all found out! - ah Joseph! Joseph! I fear you've brought up your Neck for a fine Collar!" Fox (right), his head bowed under Burke's hand, his handkerchief to his eyes, says, "O the devil! I'm quite overcome, & stupified with Grief! to think that the Man who has been my dearest Friend, and my Chum in all infamy, for Twenty five years, should now turn Snitch at last! good-lack-a-day!"."--British Museum online catalogue
