Abstract:
"A mountainous woman, with traces of comeliness, sits squarely in an arm-chair, plying a fan, between her husband (left) and a servant who stands (right), his hat under his arm and his hands in his coat-pockets. The latter says: "An please you Master and Mississ, The Sailor Man has sent word as how the Wessel is ready to swim." The husband, a paunchy 'cit' in old-fashioned dress, stands leaning towards his wife, saying, "Why my Dove--I am loaded with provisions like a tilt cart on a fair day, and my pockets stick out as if I was just return'd from a City Feast." The heads of two geese hang from his pocket. His wife says: "Dont be so Wulgar Mr Dripping--you are now among gentill folks, and must behave yourself--we shall want all the Wickalls on the Woyage depend upon it--bless me how Varm it is, I am all over in a muck"."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"The Knave of Clubs, 'Pam', sits in state in a ramshackle attic, one foot resting regally on a footstool. He is faint-hearted and melancholy and turns to a dapper little man (Sir Walter Stirling) at his right hand, who is supported by the Devil. He says: "I'm going to Hastings give me some Sterling No Tokens." Stirling, who holds an open book and is prompted by the Devil, says: "Let Us Pray," with a cynical smile. The Devil says: "Honestly if you Can?!!--but get Money." A hideous old woman, grotesque and ragged, offers him a glass, saying, "Try if Brandy won't save you." Behind the Devil, and on the extreme left, stands a burlesqued, knock-kneed lawyer, closing one eye in a cynical grimace; he holds a large pen and a paper headed 'The Last Will & Testement [sic] of Pam'. The room has the signs of squalor characteristic of the period: bricks showing through broken plaster, raftered roof, check bed-curtains, a broken chair, with broken jug and plate on the floor. Ragged stockings and a night-cap, &c. hang from a string across the fireplace (right), and on the mantelshelf are a candle in a bottle, a saucepan, medicine-bottle, teapot, and cup. Above it are a gallows broadside, and a print of a seated demon holding a small pair of scales."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A design in six compartments, arranged in two rows; in each the same person, Higgins, Governor of Lancaster jail, is depicted in a different occupation. [1] 'A Jailor'. He stands in a prison yard, holding keys, addressing a wretched prisoner; he points to an open door, saying: "You wont be physic'd by my Son, eh you rascall? then you shall go into the black hole till you will." In the background is a prisoner looking from a barred window. [2] 'A Gardiner'. He holds a flower-pot, and turns to address a lady, who says: "I did not know you was a gardener Mr Higginbottom." He answers: "O yes I'ts [sic] all in my way of business Maam I exports Natives and imports Exotics from Botany Bay." [3] 'A Manufacturer'. He addresses a starved-looking man seated at a loom, and holds a large roll of cloth under his arm. He says: "You Idle scoundrel is that all you have made to day. I'll discharge you depend on it." The man answers: "Indeed Sir I have been hard at it for eighteen hours." Large rolls of cloth are piled on a table under a wide window. Through a doorway is seen the back of another weaver at his loom. [4] 'A Farmer'. He stands in a corn-field, wearing a smock and gaiters, and holding a pitchfork. He addresses two labourers holding sickles:"I think I should know you! didn't you belong to my Sheep walk once." One answers with a grin: "to be sur I did Governor and took a little bit of an Oath for you." [He seems to imply that he has given (perjured) evidence in a sheep-stealing case]. [5] 'An Alderman'. He sits in an arm-chair, wearing a furred gown, addressing a trembling yokel: "How dare you contradict an Alderman do you know I can send you to Quod for that." The man answers: "Na I did not indeed your Worship! but you shall always have it your own way in future." Fetters hang on the wall behind the alderman's head, labelled: '1. 10. 0' [twice] and '£2. 0. 0.' [a smaller set]. A key is on the table beside him, and prison buildings are seen through a window. [6] 'A Captain'. He stands arrogantly, wearing cocked hat and gorget, pointing with his sword and saying: "You sir ther with the carotty wishers!! I see you sneering at me. don't you know I'm your Captain and can put you in irons." Three ladies watch him with mocking disapproval; one says: "Captain forsooth! these fellows will make the word Captain Odious"."--British Museum online catalogue
