"Queensberry (left) leans from the steps of his Piccadilly house, to leer through a double spy-glass (as in British Museum Satires No. 9082) at a buxom young woman who has just descended from a country wagon (right). She stands on the pavement next her father, a yokel in a smock-frock who is addressed by a fat bawd. The woman puts her hand on his shoulder, saying, "Its very lucky I met with you my honest Man if she behaves well she shall be promoted to the service of a Duke". He answers, "Very lucky indeed I'se Woundily Obliged to your Ladyship. My Dame always said as how Bet was cut out for Zarvice of your great Volkes." The wagoner is depositing in the road the corded box of Elisabeth Maybush; he looks up at Old Q, saying, "ah! I knew he'd dart out like an Old Spider at a Fly". A fashionably dressed young woman walks past the railings of 15 Piccadilly, the lower part of the house forming a background."--British Museum online catalogue

A politician sits center in a chair before a table with a single candlestick on top. He holds the candle itself in his hand as he closely examines a sheet of paper, oblivious to the fact that the candle is burning a hole in the brim of his hat. A copy after Hogarth without the two wall maps

"Twelve men, realistically depicted, arranged in two rows, their words etched above their heads. Above are figures at a tavern dinner, all seated but the first and last. The chairman gives a toast: "Are you all charged Gentlemen". A guest orders: "A glass of Salt and Water for that Gentleman ..." A tipsy man says: "A Song Gentlemen if you please." A military officer flourishes arms and legs, spilling his wine: "Sing Old Rose, and burn the bellows, - the bellows, - The bellows". An apparently composed man says: "I humbly move to throw the waiter out of the window, and charge him in the bill." A man holding his coat over his arm says: "I'll burn my coat first for a hundred." Below are men in the street, all but the penultimate with bludgeons. One, resembling Hanger, says "Scour the Watch - a- hoy". The next shouts "Down with em' thats your sort" (cf. BMSat 8073). The next, tottering, and almost asleep, says, "We are the boys for a riot". The next two say, respectively, "Where the deuce have we got to now and Scudding before the gale by Jupiter." The last, seated on the ground asleep, leans against a post: "Lodged for the Night". Similar in character to BMSat 8541, &c, and perhaps belonging to the same set."--British Museum online catalogue
