Abstract:
"The lecturer leans on a table, lit by four candles, to address a small well-dressed audience, seated on chairs. On the table are a telescope and a magic-lantern. He says: "Ladies & Gentlemen-- I have the honor for the first time in this county of Kent to deliver a Lectur on Optic's". A fat elderly man rises from his chair to say: "I humbly ax pardon Sir --but before you get on furder, I rises with all due difference to inform you as how in this country we do not call them Hop sticks but Hop poles". The others, more sophisticated, are amused, while the hop-merchant's son, standing behind, registers anguish. A dog, with 'Hop Mer...' on its collar, watches the lecturer."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"The full face of Clifford, based on a fashionably swathed neck-cloth and high coat-collar, fills the design. The mouth is open as if shouting. The eyes and part of the cheeks are covered by circles representing huge spectacles. Each contains a symmetrical view of Covent Garden Theatre seen from the stage, showing pit, three tiers of boxes, and the centre of the two galleries (the 'pigeon-holes' not appearing), all crowded. The views differ only in the performers on the stage, two actors on the right (one clearly Kemble, probably as Macbeth), and on the left two actors and a file of soldiers. Superimposed on the middle of each circular design is a large 'O' (left) and 'P' (right). Round the broad rims of the spectacles: (left) 'Old House Old Prices & No Private Boxes' and (right) 'Old House Old Prices & No Pigeon Holes'. On the bridge across the nose: 'N.P.B.' (No Private Boxes, see British Museum Satires No. 11421)."--British Museum online catalogue

"Mrs. Clarke, in profile to the right, runs with extended arms towards a Quaker, saying, "Stop my Darling and go along with me". She is a siren, not resembling Mrs. Clarke (see No. 11216, &c). The Quaker walks stiffly from her, clasping his gloves to his breast; he says: "Woman avaunt, I am not to be tempted, and be it known also I am a married man, therefore what little business I do in thy way it is not worth dividing"."--British Museum online catalogue
