Abstract:
"A pretty young woman standing by the pump offers a tumbler to a burly sailor wearing a petticoat, who scowls and flinches, scratching his head. She says: "Be assured it is an excellent beverage for Gentlemen who have been a long time at sea." He answers: "Why lookee Ma-am I dont wish to be unpolite But if your Ladyships Honor pleases--I had rather hang fire--a bit--for d'ye see it gave our Poll, the belly ache--and D--n the Gripes, I never could bear them they twiddled me up decently when I was last in the Meditaranean." On the right are two other sailors, wearing trousers; an elderly man, in profile to the right, tries to drink, but the water falls to the ground; he says: "D--d Queer Tipple to be sure!" The third, holding his tumbler carefully, proffers a coin to a small boy on the extreme right, saying, "Harkee young two-shoes [a nursery colloquialism applied to a little girl from 'The History of Little Goody Two-Shoes', 1766, the earliest date discovered by Partridge being 1858; 'Slang Dict.', 1938]--go and get me a pint of half and half and a Squeeze of Lemon--for D--n me if I could drink it neat if I was never to weigh Anchor Again."

Abstract:
"In the foreground (left) is a crowd wielding battledores who send small puppet-like M.P.s high into the air. On the right is the House of Commons represented by a corner of a dilapidated building with a high Gothic doorway. To this men and one fat Billingsgate woman are hurrying with flat baskets on their heads, on which are heaped more M.P.s. The crowd is cheerful and in general fashionably dressed. They shout "No Corn Bill [often repeated]," "Keep the game alive," and "there he goes." One with patched clothes and the hat of a dustman or coal-heaver, shouts to his victim, a lawyer in wig and gown, "Now for it Mr Garrow." Most of the shuttlecock M.P.s register silent dismay; one with gouty legs exclaims "Oh! my Heels," another who is bald shouts "Oh! my head." Most of the 'mackerel' lie limply on their baskets; one struggles to rise, saying, "Faith & I never was in such a Flood before--I really beleive I'm dead--but However dead or alive an Irishman will always do his duty." Over the doorway is 'St Stephens.' in large letters. Within, the (burlesqued) Speaker is seen in his Chair, extending arms and legs in terrified astonishment; behind the table are two Clerks. Only the Government benches are visible; these are empty, but a man is indicated in the gallery. Outside, standing between the two groups of the mob, two constables holding their staffs consult gloomily. One says "We had better let them alone"; the other answers "I think so." On the ground (right) is a pile of bricks, stones, spiked knuckle-dusters, and a spiked club with a bag of: 'Pepper for the Piccadilly Squad'."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A four-post bed with a tent-shaped canopy is made with hinged planks at head and foot, after the fashion of a pillory. In this lies a woman, her arms confined behind her head and her feet thrust through the holes at the foot. Her husband sits up in bed beside her, holding a whip. He looks down menacingly, holding up a metal gag. She looks up at him, helpless but grimly resentful. At the head of the bed hangs a placard: 'Love Honor and OBEY'; above the man hangs a watch, the hands indicating 2.50. A candle has burned to the socket on a table by the bed on which lies a paper:' By the Kings Patent Petruchios Family Bedstead for tameing a Shrew, also his patent gags and . . .' Thumbscrews lie on the paper. On the ground, with stays and slippers, are three open books: 'Nuptial Dialogues on Various Subjects'; 'Rule a Wife and Have a Wife' [Fletcher's comedy]; 'The Whole Duty of Woman' [torn]."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
