"See BM Satires No. 15972, with the same imprint. Nine vignettes, the largest in the centre, signed 'H Heath Delt et Sculpt': two inane cockney sportsmen, one seated on a stile, the other, aiming at a bird (? crow) hits the posterior of a man on a ladder against a rick. Below: 'Gad I thought I hit him!' A popular theme, cf. BM Satires No. 9596, &c. Among the others is an ex-dandy in a derelict room, sitting over the fire, while his one shirt dries on a line: 'Who would have thought I should ever come to this?' Cf. BM Satires No. 13060, &c"--British Museum online catalogue
