Six members of the society sit in a row, each singing a different song. All are ugly and elderly except one lady who turns to her neighbour singing, "In sweetest harmony we live." The latter, almost bald, sits on the extreme left, singing, "Time has not thinn'd my flowing hair." A fat, ugly lady bawls towards her left hand neighbour: "Encompass'd in [an] angels frame." He sings to her: "Together let us ran[ge] the fields." A man with closed eyes from which tears fall, sings: "Said a smile to a tear what cause have you hear." A gouty, old naval officer on the extreme right sings: "Oh exquisite harmony!! Music has charms to soften rocks and bend the knotted oak." A dishevelled footman with a bottle in his coat-pocket walks from the right, tilting his salver of glasses so that they fall on a squalling cat. He sings tipsily: "From night till morn I take my glass I hopes to forget my Chloe!!" A dog on the left howls

Satire with two naval officers (one of whom is the Duke of Clarence caricatured, with heavy jowl, protruding lips, and small slanting eye) abusing each other at table, observed by a civilian who winks and holds a finger to the side of his nose. The naval officer on the right says, "Why, they say there is always a fool in every family, & they generally send him to Sea." The Duke of Clarence in the middle responds, " How the Devil came you to put into the Navy, Captain." The civilian to the right, observes, "Britons strike home!!!" On the table are plates of fruit and wine glasses with two carafes one of which is labeled "Goose" and a booklet entitled "An essay on Government by Jordan". Two pictures on the wall in the background illustrate the theme: on the left, the image shows a man (King George) holds the arm of a crying young cadet, a sword between his legs, carries the title "Win them first then wear them." On the right, "On board the London" is an image of two officers fighting while two big sailors smile as they watch

The man on the right says, "How precious pale he look in de face." The other man holding the other end of the stretcher says, "Aye-Aye, him be no Moor."
Description:
Title etched below image., Later state of a plate first published by Gabriel Shire Tregear in 1834, the year in which the Slavery Abolition Act came into force. The original print was one of twenty caricatures with the series title 'Tregear's Black Jokes'. The prints developed the theme of the earlier 'Life in Philadelphia' caricatures (of which Tregear published copies), lampooning the social aspirations of Philadelphia's black population. After Tregear's death, the plates for 'Tregear's Black Jokes' passed to his former shopman Thomas Crump Lewis (1808-81), whose publication line is on this later state. The three mentions of Tregear's name on the plate have either been changed to Lewis's or simply effaced., Dated 1860 by the Library of Congress, but Hickman suggests that the prints were issued before that date., "Catalogue of prints"--Etched in lower right corner., and Sheet trimmed to plate mark.
