"The room of an impecunious family. The father, probably an actor, writer, or artist, sits on a three-legged stool, with a little girl on each knee, one flourishes a whip and tugs at his shirt frill, the other pulls his pigtail. A younger child rides astride his leg, and a little boy tugs at his coat-tail; both flourish whips. An infant in a wicker cradle screams. The man turns up his eyes in melancholy resignation. His stockings are ungartered, and his dress suffers from the too-active children. Behind is an open fire, with a kettle beside it. The mother, neatly dressed, cooks, holding a frying-pan on a grid attached to the grate. A small round table (right) is laid for a scanty meal. From a line across the room hangs neatly folded washing. The chimneypiece is covered with medicine-bottles, &c, among which is a bust of a man. Above is an unframed picture of Diogenes in his tub. On the wall are also a small (broken) mirror, and a print of a man bent under a towering pile of sacks. On the boarded floor is an open book: a picture of a sow with many sucking-pigs faces: All the pretty little ones and their Dam Oh! Oh! Oh."--British Museum online catalogue

"Broadside on the execution of Louis XVI; with a hand-coloured aquatint pasted to a list printed in four black-bordered columns, the (printed) title as above. Fortune, blindfolded, with winged feet, pushes her wheel on the summit of the globe, which emerges from clouds and is decorated by three large fleur-de-lis. She runs in profile to the right, her draperies floating behind her. On the lower left circumference of the wheel, about to move upwards, are a crown and a cross; on its summit are two papers inscribed 'Tallien' and 'Merlin'. On the right, and beginning to descend, is a bonnet-rouge. On the lower right circumference, about to be crushed, are papers inscribed 'Collot d'Herbois' and (almost at the lowest point) 'Barrere'. Each column is again divided into four, headed: 'Names', 'Departments', 'When arrested', 'Fate'. Beneath this long list are two shorter ones: 'A List of those, who, without having Voted for the King's Murder, have made themselves eminent in the French Revolution, and have been recompensed', i.e. have been guillotined or have committed suicide. This is followed by a list of 'French Republican Generals, who have received a reward for their services, during the French Revolution'. Most have been guillotined, others have died by suicide or otherwise, some have merely been arrested. 'Dumourier' appears as 'Deserter'."--British Museum online catalogue

"Two lovers embrace within a small shed inscribed 'Strong Box' supported on a pole; a tailor with huge shears is about to cut the pole, saying, "I'll upset the basket". The open doors of the shed are 'Modesty' and 'Chastity'. Behind is sketched an equestrian statue with a railing, indicating a London square. On the right is a room, flanked on the left by a high folding screen on which are bills with the titles of chap-books or songs relating to tailors, the uppermost being 'The Brighton Taylor' (see BMSat 6942, &c). In the room five men with horns sprouting from their heads approach a (?) lawyer sitting at a writing-table, who says, "Say & seal, I say said & sealed". One stands on a three-legged stool, two legs of which have been replaced by moneybags, each inscribed '£2,500'. He says: "Joys that none but a married man can know - would that there was a Taylor here to measure them, but it would cost five thousand - " [Other inscriptions have not been transcribed.] An old man with a crutch looks round the screen at the lovers, saying, "D------d good Trade Ill go & get married too."--British Museum online catalogue
