Abstract:
"Mrs. Clarke's house is on the right. A military officer (Wardle) wrapped in a cloak slips a purse into the hand of a meretricious young woman at the door, with a belt inscribed Favorit. Mrs. Clarke, her breast much exposed, leans from a window to look down at him. Two other men look from other windows. Above the door is a lantern inscribed: Now Exhibiting Wonders upon Wonders or Mrs Clarkes Puppet Show Which has given satisn to Po[ ? pulace] and Prince. Below this is a board: All the World's a Stage and Men and Women merely Players-- some play the upper some the under part, but chief Play that--most foreign to their heart. On the door: Knock and you shall Enter. On the wall (by Mrs. Clarke) is a sign for "Globe Fire Insurance". On the right the Duke of York walks away from the house; he wears a mitre and carries a crosier; a bishop's robe, on which are the words "Men have their Entrances & their Exits". Next to him walks an elderly lawyer (Adam) and a fat parson (O'Meara) hurries after him. Facing Mrs. Clarke's house is a row of houses: Prospect Row; old women, Maiden Ladies, watch from upper windows, as does an old man with a telescope who puts a grotesque head out of an attic window inscribed Peeping Toms Observatory. He says: O the Devil choak her he's Waddling in as Im a prying Croaker. Two cats fight on the roof; words issue from one of them: "Come what come may the Cat will mew. The Dog will have his day"."--British Museum online catalogue

"Above, Mrs. Clarke stands on a round dais, under a canopy, receiving her clients. These are headed by six military officers; the foremost makes a sweeping bow, cocked hat in hand. Next is a fat parson holding a money-bag inscribed 800; behind is an obese doctor, with three other elderly men. She says to them: Ye Captains and ye Colonels-ye parsons wanting place, Advice I'll give ye gratis and think upon your case, If there is possibility, for you I'll raise the dust, But then you must excuse me-if I serve myself the first. Below, Mrs. Clarke, much décolletée, looks from an open ground-floor window of a London house, to see a fashionably dressed man, Taylor, walking towards her holding a sealed packet. He looks over his shoulder at a yokel with a cudgel, who asks: I say Measter Shoe-maker where be you going in such a woundy hurry? Taylor answers: Dont speak to me fellow you should never pry into State affairs. Mrs. Clarke says: Open the door John here comes the Ambassador Now for the dear delightful Answer. Behind the yokel, evidently John Bull, is his dog. On the right is a house with a door-plate inscribed Mrs Weston."--British Museum online catalogue

"Three men sit, singing a catch, with a round table between them. A British officer (perhaps Cotton), wearing a cocked hat, sits in profile to the right, facing Dalrymple who sits (right) with tightly closed mouth, his hands on his knees. Between them, but with his chair from Dalrymple, sits a man in Spanish (here Portuguese) dress, wearing a feathered hat. The British officer sings: T'was You Sir-Hew - Twas Hew. that let the French Escape, That makes you look so blue Sir-Hew Sir Hew! He and the Portuguese (perhaps Freire) point minatory hands at Dalrymple, whose face is painted lead colour. On the wall are two pictures: (above the Portuguese) 'A correct representation of the French Plunderers stopt in their progress by the Spanish Patriots.' [at Baylen] and (above Dalrymple): 'A Correct representation of the French Plunderers quitting Portugal for France - under a British Escort.' In one a long train of wagons is stopped by armed men, in the other are ships in full sail. On the table are glasses and decanters of 'Port and Calcavella'."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Heading to a broadside, printed in three columns: the lengthy speeches (evidently by Woodward) of the two pleaders, 'Snip' and 'Galen Glauber'. A fat citizen, the judge of the court, sits in an armchair on a low dais, a gouty leg resting on a cushion; he holds his nose in pained disgust. On the left a tailor in shirt-sleeves snips his shears angrily at the doctor, who stands (right) hat in hand holding up a pair of breeches on the end of his cane. On the wall (left) are bulky volumes: 'Game Laws', 'Folio XI', 'Vagrant Act', 'Penal Laws', 'Blackton [sic] Vol 2'. The tailor complains that the doctor refuses to pay for the breeches, the doctor answers 'this precipitate Maniac', asserting that the tightness of the waist-band induced a complaint which rendered them 'too foetid for further Use'."--British Museum online catalogue
