A scene in a bookseller's shop. The bookseller wearing spectacles and a high collar stands behind the counter holding out three books to his customer, a roughly dressed worker. The placard below the counter reads: Black jokes. Life in Philadelphia. Rum jokes. The caption below the title contains a dialogue between the seller and potential buyer: I say Mister I wants a book o' some sort for my boy. Well heres a captial historical work. On he don't want to know any thing about that nonsense. Then here are travels, ancient history, and geography. Its no use Sir, he don't want to know any thing about such stuff as that. Haven't you got a Pickwick!!

Group portrait of nine men seated around a table set with fruit and decanters; they are served by a black page. Boswell is on the left, with Johnson to his right talking to Edmund Burke; Reynolds is seated across from Johnson and listens with a trumpet to his ear. Garrick to the left of Reynolds faces the viewer, while Pasquale Paoli to his left observes Johnson conversing at the far end of the table. Charles Burney across from Paoli also follows the same conversation, as he rests his right hand on his chin. Next to Paoli, Warton leans toward Oliver Goldsmith who sits at the head of the table on the right; Warton holds his hand up towards his mouth as if to keep his words confidential. The room is richly decorated with a Japanese screen on the right, curtains, a miniature portrait, and a portrait bust on a pedestal on the left; Reynolds' pictures of Puck (Mannings 2142) and the Infant Academy (Mannings 2092) hanging on the wall and a bright chandelier hangs above the table
