"Midshipmen at table in a confined space, with a low roof, lit by a candle stuck in a bottle, which casts heavy shadows. They drink grog from tea-cups with a blue interior rim. Eight midshipmen sit at the table, bare except for a jug and bottle; of these two play cards, two sleep, one plays a fife. One of the card-players smokes a cigar and holds a handful of coins. A mishipman holds a lighted cigar to the face of his sleeping neighbour. A lieutenant drinks with the midshipmen. A ninth dances tipsily, holding cup and bottle; behind him stands a sailor playing a fiddle. A tenth, wearing a fur cap, struggles sulkily into a greatcoat before going on duty. A black boy stands against the wall grinning at the dancing midshipman. A steward (left) also stands against the wall, before recessed shelves containing a dinner-service. Against the wall hang hats, a dirk, a sextant, a sextant-case, swords, a speaking-trumpet."--British Museum online catalogue

A young, richly dressed and very tipsy youth staggers towards the viewer over the top of a hill. His wig is flying off; his neckwear is disarranged. In the crook of his right arm he carries a straw-covered wine bottle and a half full wine glass in his right hand. His tricorne hat flies off to his left. In the background, at the base of the hilll, is a town. Just below the top of the hill, to the right of image, appears a woman supporting a very sick drinker. To the left, in the background, is a tavern with a table set out on the lawn. Four drinkers, in various stages of drunkenness, sit around the table. In upper left corner, above the tavern, is engraved a screen with three staffs of music

A racist and complex print purports to show a dinner held at the African Institution, becoming increasingly drunken and debauched as the evening progresses. Cruikshank employs many common 19th-century racist stereotypes of black people - drunkenness, aggressiveness, and sexual promiscuity - and lampoons the idea that black people could aspire to behave like white people. In the print, the white abolitionists are portrayed as unsuspecting and bewildered innocents who find themselves entirely out of their depth. Cruikshank seems to suggest that their association with black people has corrupted them - that they are being 'uncivilised' rather than black people becoming 'civilised'. Meanwhile, the idea of relationships between races is ridiculed. Many familiar and important figures are represented. Abolitionists like Wilberforce, Stephen and Macaulay appear next to the street entertainer Billy Waters and the radical Robert Wedderburn ...

The chairman's raised throne with its canopy is on the extreme left, at the head of the table which extends to the right across the design. The throne is an infant's chair, or commode, supported on a round tray based on two casks, one above the other. Wilberforce has risen from the chair, so far as the front bar will permit, his chairman's hammer held between flexed knees ..."--British Museum online catalogue
