"A stout lawyer puts his left arm across the shoulders of a lean and distraught client, gripping him with a sinister show of affection, while he scrutinizes his face with the calculating smile of false friendship. He takes a sheaf of 'One' pound notes from his victim's hand. The lawyer is fashionably dressed; a brief-bag is slung from his arm. The client wears old-fashioned dress; his shoes are distended by bunions."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Two sailors, one a negro, both stripped to the waist, are seated astride a long chest, inscribed 'Arm Chest GR.', to which they are lashed, facing each other with clenched fists. Other sailors look on, amused, or fiercely intent. Behind the white pugilist stands a buxom woman clasping a bottle; she says: "Now Jack--Brail up his Peepers or Mungo --will tip you Yankey-dodle-do." A naval officer wearing a cocked hat, rests his elbow on her shoulder. All the others are rough-looking sailors and their women. In the foreground a grinning negro sailor kneels near a sailor (left) who sits on a gun smoking and drinking. The latter is the only sailor with a pigtail; it reaches below his waist. A woman looks down at the fight from a hammock. On the right two disreputable-looking women are fighting, egged on by two sailors. In the background a sailor dances with two women; he says: "I love a bit of hop--Life is ne'ar the worse for it. When in my way do drop--a Fiddl--thats your sort [cf. British Museum Satires No. 8073]." A one-legged man sitting on a gun plays a fiddle. In the foreground (right) stands a can of 'Grog.' Hammocks are slung from the roof."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
