- "The dentist, short, fat, and bald, stands in back view on a low stool, his knees pressed against the chair, his left arm round the victim's neck; he tugs at an upper tooth. The thin elderly patient raises her left leg in agony, overturning the folding wash-stand on which the dentist's appliances are spread. These include a basin, cup (both spilling their contents), a double set of teeth, a hammer, and a stoppered jar which falls against a large pier-glass, starring it. Both are unaware of the accident, though a little dog barks from under the table. The glass reflects dentist and patient, showing the latter gripping the arm of the chair. There is a window (right), the lower part screened by a slatted green shade. Above this dangle teeth with large blood-stained roots. On a chest of drawers-bookcase are laid out sets of false teeth. The books are Warbler; Winter in London; Lock on the Gums; Miseries of Human Life [Beresford, see See British Museum catalogue No. 10815, &c]; Bible; Tales of the Devil; Tommy Two Shoes; Treatise on Tooth Powder & Brushes; Feast of Wit; Tales of Terror, and two big volumes of Frankensteiv [sic] [Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, published 1818].

- Abstract:
- Caroline, wearing a chemise and high-strapped shoes, stands admiring herself in front of a full-length mirror. With her right hand she adjusts a feather in her elaborate headdress, which is adorned with the Prince of Wales's feathers on the far side and several pointed feathers on the near side, two of which resemble horns; her left hand rests on her hip. Bergami stands behind her in astonished delight, his hands raised in the air; a garment hangs from his left arm, and several towels or pieces of clothing marked with the initials "B B" are strewn on the floor. A man and a woman peer in on the scene from an adjoining room, the man with a pleased look on his face and the woman with one of surprise. On the wall behind Bergami hangs an oval mirror, the decorative frame of which includes a figure of Cupid standing atop a goat while shooting an arrow. A book with "History" on its spine lies on its side in the left foregraound; a burning candle in its holder sits upon the book

- Abstract:
- "The dentist, short, fat, and bald, stands in back view on a low stool, his knees pressed against the chair, his left arm round the victim's neck; he tugs at an upper tooth. The thin elderly patient raises her left leg in agony, overturning the folding wash-stand on which the dentist's appliances are spread. These include a basin, cup (both spilling their contents), a double set of teeth, a hammer, and a stoppered jar which falls against a large pier-glass, starring it. Both are unaware of the accident, though a little dog barks from under the table. The glass reflects dentist and patient, showing the latter gripping the arm of the chair. There is a window (right), the lower part screened by a slatted green shade. Above this dangle teeth with large blood-stained roots. On a chest of drawers-bookcase are laid out sets of false teeth. The books are Warbler; Winter in London; Lock on the Gums; Miseries of Human Life [Beresford, see See British Museum catalogue No. 10815, &c]; Bible; Tales of the Devil; Tommy Two Shoes; Treatise on Tooth Powder & Brushes; Feast of Wit; Tales of Terror, and two big volumes of Frankensteiv [sic] [Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, published 1818]. The room is carpeted to the wall."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- Interior of a large concert-room, which is partly a music-shop, where the Regent sits playing a 'cello. At his feet is a paper: 'Proposals for Six Charity Concerts'. Facing him stands an elderly 'cit', a John Bull, who listens delightedly. The Regent says: "There Sir is one of the finest toned Instruments, I ever touched, and our own making. Nobody makes Instruments like us. That Humbug fiddle is out of Tune." The 'cit' answers "Charming." Behind the Regent are Bloomfield playing a flute, and a man wearing clerical bands playing a violin. Behind them is a counter on which are two piles of songs 'For Sale cheap'; one is 'Bold Flinty Rock', the other 'Beautiful Maid'. Behind the counter a man supports on his shoulders a musician holding out a violin, and declaiming: "This will do, and Sir give me leave to say, No Scholar of ours shall ever use any Music or Instruments but our own, What do you think of that eh?" Two fashionably dressed ladies in the foreground address the Regent. One kneels, extending her arms dramatically, saying: "Indeed if you will Engage us we will not only buy all our Music and Instruments of you, but make our Scholars do the same." The other, identified as Miss Stephens, the vocalist and actress (1794-1882): "Indeed we will!" A piano is on the extreme right, behind this stands Braham, who is holding a piece of music entitled "Fly not yet" and looking to the left. Behind him, three of those departing say "off off" or "off off off"; another says "You had better open a Cook Shop next and sell Calves heads and Cow heels"; and another "I'll lend you no more 4.000.s C-ts." The music stacked behind them is inscribed 'detached pieces'. On the left Lord Eldon and Chief Justice Abbott, both in wig and gown, stand together. Eldon says: "Since our Master has taken to this Concern all our Business is Suspended." Abbott answers: "Suspended, why I have here a list of 21 fellows who ought to be Suspended." A man standing behind them says, looking at the Regent: "What then you intend to ruin all the Composers, Music Sellers, and Instrument makers do you? & this is a specimen of your correctness is it? 36 blunders in 9 pages of one Peice. Cossac Song above 30 errors. Dramatic Air worse." On the extreme left is Yarmouth's smiling profile; he says: "I'll bet a Crown to One and Twenty pence, against the Hazard." Music on the shelves behind them is inscribed: 'the Y-m-ih Waltz'; 'Jack Ketch set to Mus[ic]'. Behind the Regent: 'New Peices [sic]'; 'Rogues March'; 'Royal Airs'. Behind the Director: 'Catches Glees, Flats and Sharps.'

- "Leach (right), the Vice-Chancellor, dressed as a woman, with a trimmed bonnet over his wig, sits on a corded chest inscribed Commissio[n] ; against this leans a book: Justifia et honor. He grasps a moneybag inscribed 10,000, and holds the ear of a fox which crouches against his knee. He faces John Bull who is stripped to the waist, with a gigantic leech on his back. John, a countryman in patched breeches, registers angry terror and pain; he looks over his shoulder, exclaiming: "D--me what a monstrous Leech! it not only sucks blood but honor also!" Leach says: "I am not plain, Leech, Sir, but by vulgar denomination--I am called Miss Leech if you please--." Beside J. B., and pointing menacingly towards him, are the muzzle of a cannon, a sheaf of bayonets in a chest inscribed 'G R' and 'Steel Lozenges' [see British Museum Satires No. 13513]. Against this lie shackles inscribed 'Bandages', and cannon-balls inscribed 'Bolus' and 'Iron Pills'. On a hill behind a large cap of 'Liberty' dangles from a gibbet against which leans a ladder. Leach's fox turns its head towards John, saying: "In Law. what plea so tained [sic] and corrupt, But, being season'd with a gracious voice, Observes the evil? There is no Vice so simple, but assumes Some mark of virtue on his outward parts Shak Mer of Ven--Act 3 Scene 2." Behind Leach, and on the extreme right, is a second chest inscribed 'French and Italian Monkey[s]'. A monkey wearing a fool's cap crouches on it, grinning at his reflection in a hand-mirror."--British Museum online catalogue

- "The Regent, with one gouty foot, postures before a pier-glass which reflects his tight waist and spherical posteriors. His wig and whiskers are much exaggerated. All round him nine grotesque German tailors are at work or register admiration of the Prince; most of them are lean and moustached. Some sit cross-legged on the floor; one cuts from a roll of cloth assisted by a man with a yard-stick who says: "D--n de English Taylor, he not know how to handle de yard like de foreigner!" One irons a braided hussar jacket. On the floor: 'A List of Foreign Tailors recommended by Prince Esther Crazy to work for the R--t!' Nearer the Regent is 'A Goose!' with the adjacent inscription: '"To waste your time before a Glass / Exposes oft a monstrous Ass!' The Regent recites: "I begin to think that I'm a marvellous proper Man! "I'll have my Chambers hung with looking Glass And entertain a score or two of Tailors To study fashions to adorn my Body--""--British Museum online catalogue

An attendant, resembling McMahon, laces the stays which in front resemble a waistcoat; he tugs at the lace, standing on a low stool, using one foot as a fulcrum against his master's posterior (cf. British Museum Satires No. 8287), a small buffer ornamented with goats' heads being attached to this foot. On the oval mirror which reflects the Prince's face sits a monkey, holding on its head a wig with a pyramid of curls above the forehead with large side-whiskers attached. The Prince's hair is similarly arranged. The Prince's tail-coat, in back view, is spreadeagled on a stand. On an ornate wall-bracket inscribed 'Bills' and 'Recetts' are two ornamental files, one filled with bills: 'hatters Bill', 'Poulterers Bill', 'Fishmongers B', 'Hair Dresser', 'Taylors Bill', 'Butchers Bill', 'Docters Bill', 'Silve smiths Bill'; the other empty. A bracket-clock, surmounted by a figure of Time shearing a triple ostrich plume, points to two o'clock (reversed). A round wall-mirror and candle-sconce is surmounted by a figure of Bacchus bestriding a cask. On the dressing-table are pots and jars of 'Tooth Powder', 'Rouge', 'Otto of Roses', and 'Secilian Wash for the Skin'.

- "A show-room in which ladies are being fitted with various types of underclothing, specimens of which hang from the walls. An elderly man of quasi-clerical appearance fits a very fat lady with knickerbockers and braces; he looks over his shoulder at the spectator; from his pocket issues a roll of 'Complieations'. She is the central figure and regards herself with admiration in an ornate wall-mirror which reflects her face. Her stockings are held up by cords issuing from a disk on each hip. A lady and little girl (left) walk eagerly into the room. A shopman offers two false breasts to a wizened knock-kneed hag wearing knickerbockers. On the right a complacent lady in knickerbockers is having her suspenders fastened by a kneeling shopman. Another, seated on a chair, pulls on knickerbockers; other bulky garments to tie at the knee hang on the wall (left). On a shelf are wigs on stands (see BMSat 9313, &c), and from it hang garments having some resemblance to the modern brassiere (or soutien-gorge) to which braces are attached. There are also suspenders. Beneath the design: 'Dr Trussup takes the liberty to acquaint the Ladies, that he has by dint of intense Study, Astronomical . . . [&c. &c] Calculations, Discovered an immense variety, of Convenient, Comfortable, and Captivating Articles for the Ladies, first, his warm & well contrived Drawers, which will in all weathers, keep warm . ... in spite of the rage for thin covering, they are made of flannell, Cotton, fleecy hose & various other commodities . . .

She is dressed for driving, wearing a coat of masculine cut, and a skirt which is short enough to show stockings above laced half-boots. A high-crowned hat trimmed with feathers is poised on her hair; on her vulture-like nose glasses are perched, her profile being reflected in the draped mirror. Through an open window (left) appears her high phaeton."--British Museum online catalogue

The other gambler (left), holding his cards, looks at his victim. Three onlookers have crafty expressions. A fat man, smoking, approaches with a bowl of punch. In the bar (left) a fat woman chalks up a score. Coins, a watch, and pocket-book are on the table. A broken mirror and a picture of a horse decorate the walls. Beneath the table are twelve lines describing the sleep of 'Old Trusty' while his son is cheated by 'the Harpy-Tribe'."--Biriths Museum online catalogue

- Description:
- Title from item., Curator's note from British Museum catalogue: The card-playing sharper is a portrait of Rowlandson, the country lad is reputed to be J. K. Sherwin; though this seems unlikely, since Sherwin was then thirty-six, the identification is supported by the self-portrait of the engraver. In 'The Gamesters', a mezzotint by Ward, after Peters, 1786, the card-sharper holding an ace behind his back is Rowlandson [Said to be the Prince of Wales, according to Challoner Smith (iv. 1485).]; the resemblance to the card-player in this plate, and in a mezzotint, 'A Game at Cribbage' ... is convincing., Sheet trimmed within plate mark., Twelve lines of verse in two columns on either side of title: Old Trusty with his town made friends ..., Temporary local subject terms: Gambling: sharpers -- Furniture: card-table -- Furniture: bar -- Countrymen -- Card players -- Barmaids -- Pocketbooks., and Mounted to 38 x 49 cm.
