Abstract:
"A grocer's snug parlour, with 'Mr. Fig', an ugly 'cit', holding on his knee an ugly child who is playing havoc with the tea-things. With a mug inscribed 'EF' the infant has smashed the tea-pot, while an overturned milk-jug makes a pool on the floor at which a cat laps. The man's back is to the fireplace (left), where a kettle is boiling over, and a red-hot poker is burning the floor. He says, with a fatuous smile: "Pretty Dear Heart! what a Gulley [an unrecorded word, evidently from Gully the pugilist]. it has given the Tea Pot, she delights in a little mischief, I should not be surprised Mrs Fig if she was to make as much Noise in the World as her Namesake, and as the Poet says "like another Ellen fire another Troy". Mrs. Fig (right), with arms angrily extended, exclaims: "Troy indeed Mr Fig, I think your more likely to Fire the House, look where the red hot poker lays and see how the tea Kettle is boiling over!!" On the wall is a framed print of 'The Worlds End', a flaming globe (the sign of more than one public house in the outskirts of London). On the mantelpiece are a large china mandarin (sign of the grocer's connexion with the tea-trade) and a medicine-bottle labelled 'Composing Draught for Miss Fig'. In a letter-rack are letters 'To Mr Fig Grocer'."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The 'Genius of Caricature' presides at a dinner-table at which sit 'Lilliputians', cf. British Museum Satires No. 9635, &c, all with large grotesque heads, all laughing, and raising brimming glasses to drink the toast. The chairman wears a Harlequin suit, and though differing from the 'Genius' of British Museum Satires No. 10917 both have similar gap-toothed mouths and may be intended for Tegg. He gives Success to Volume the Third. A toast-master standing beside him holds up a fringed placard or banner inscribed: Mr Tegg, M' Tegg,! You're at home to a peg, Volume two is now fairly completed, Then to Cheapside repair, Ye who spurn at dull care, And with, Wit, Fun, & Frolic be treated, With Woodward we'll laugh, And with Rowlandson quaff, And drown every Folly absurd, Here's a toast to the brim, My gay children of Whim, Success to their Volume the Third. The guests are two women and five men, all middle-aged or elderly, and two with drink-blotched profiles. On the table is a basket of (?) olives labelled Jokes. Behind the chairman is an alcove, inscribed Mirth Admit Me Of Thy Crew. The walls recede in almost symmetrical perspective and are decorated with solidly mounted prints (or the original drawings) from the magazine."--British Museum online catalogue
