Abstract:
"Two wooden shutters, the upper parts of two adjacent doors, hinged on one post between two cottages, are opened inwards, to allow a handsome young couple to lean out and kiss. Behind the young woman (left) stands a bald and aged man, raising an admonishing forefinger. Behind the man an elderly virago screams with a threatening gesture. On a hook on the central post is a cage with two billing birds, which the young man is holding up. A cat clambers up towards the girl; a dog (right) dashes in fury towards a cock which is pecking a hen."--British Museum online catalogue

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."
