In a elegant bedroom with a floral carpet, a young woman sits before at her vanity and gazes in the mirror as she applies make-up to her cheeks. Her fashionable dress and her hat are displayed on either side of her. In the background stands her curtained bed. On the wall is a picture of a woman drawing a silhouette

Abstract:
"Plate 1: One of a set of eight plates, all with three bordered horizontal strips (catalogued as a, b, c), evidently intended to be cut up to form a border, as BMSat 9488, &c. The B.M. impressions [catalogued by M.D. George in 1942] have been cut, each plate divided into two and arranged haphazard. [The titles and imprints have been taken from A. de R. vii, 32-47. The last three prints were published in 1801 but have been included to avoid dividing the set.] The figures are grotesque, with large heads, arranged generally in groups, their speeches etched above. The satire (sometimes pointed) is generally social, occasionally political. The centre group is a forestaller in corn being tossed in a blanket by four men; three spectators applaud. See BMSat 9545, &c. 'Paddy and Johnny Bull walk arm in arm saying long life to the Union. . . '. See BMSat 9284, &c"--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The subjects include the long-winded parson, the incompetent barber, the boastful soldier, the lawyer, the 'cit' and dancing-master, the doctor, the board of excise. The lawyer says: "I maintain it Sir - the Law, is equally open to the poor as to the Rich -", the answer: "So is the London Tavern, if you have the Money to pay for it!" The original remark was by Judge Ashhurst, [In his famous Charge to the Grand Jury of Middlesex, 19 Nov. 1792, on the perfection of government where 'no Man is so high as to be above the Reach of the Law, and no Man so low as not to be within its Protection'.] the repartee is attributed by Rogers to Horne Tooke ('Table Talk', 1887, p. 125). Another familiar remark here illustrated is that of the African slave who answers "One thing at a time Massa if you please, - if you floggee - floggee - if you preachee preachee - but no preachee and ftoggee too" (illustrated by G. Cruikshank 1819; Reid, No. 926)."--British Museum online catalogue

"The man walks (right to left) on a mountainous landscape carrying a musket, and with knapsack, sword, and sheathed bayonet. In the front of his cap is a red cross on a white ground (like that of the modern Red Cross), a similar but smaller cross is on his neat military tunic, which is blue with red facings. He wears trousers or pantaloons and buckled shoes. In a distant valley is a burning town or village."--British Museum online catalogue
