Two ugly dandies face each other across a round table as they play cards. Both are fashionably dressed. The one on the right says: "Fifteen six, a flush, and his whig, makes me out -pon honor 'tis really astonishing. You are not in luck." His opponent responds: "Prodigious!! then I am diddled again--Monstrous! Oblige me with a pinch of your mixture or I shall expire!" On the wall behind them on the left is a bust portrait of a man in Roman armour inscribed "My Papa!" and on the right, a French window with a full-length curtain. An ornate rug covers the floor

Design in two compartments contrasting on the left the poverty and depravity of "French Liberty" with the opulence of the British on the right "British Slavery." The thin, ragged sansculotte with a liberty cap on his head, warms his bare, talon-like feet before a fire, while eating his dinner of raw onions. Behind him snails overflow his chamber pot; above the fireplace a "Map of French Conquests". At his feet a sword lies across a violin like a bow. He extolls the virtues of the National Assembly and new won liberties. In contrast on the right, an obese, red-faced Englishman sits in a luxurious room before a table laden with a tankard of hock and a large joint of beef. His shoes are slashed to relieve his bloated, gouty feet. A gold statute of Britannia adorns the wall above him. He curses his ministry for imposing taxes and starving the British people

A drawing of the Holbein Chamber at Horace Walpole's home, Strawberry Hill in Twickenham. An arched passageway is seen near the center of the image, thorough which a canopy bed and a chair are visible. On either side of the passageway are pierced arches forming a screen, the design for which was taken from the gates of the choir of Rouen. Wooden furniture lines the wall of the room at left, above which framed works of art hang. Across the room on the right is the chimneypiece designed after the tomb of Archbishop Warham at Canterbury; an embroidered firescreen and two blue vases sit in front of the fireplace. The ornate ceiling, taken from the Queen's dressing-room at Windsor, dominates the top half of the image; a large, colorful rug sits on the floor in the center of the room

"A domestic interior. A fat and ugly citizen, wearing old-fashioned dress with a small unpowdered wig, stands on the hearth-rug (right), his back to the fire; he is meditatively reading the 'Gazette', headed: 'New Taxes', and 'Bankru[pts]', his left hand plunged in his breeches pocket. Behind him on the chimney-piece is a pair of scales for weighing guineas (see BMSat 5128). His wife, bald-headed, ugly, and stout, leans back in an arm-chair, her hands raised in protest at an unpowdered wig which a grotesquely thin and ragged French hairdresser (left) proffers obsequiously. A fashionably dressed young man with cropped hair looks with imbecile surprise at his reflection in an oval mirror over the chimney-piece. His mouth is half-covered by his swathed neckcloth, he wears a short spencer (see BMSat 8192) over a sparrow-tail coat, and half-boots. A young woman with over-dressed but unpowdered (red) hair looks with dismay at her reflection in a mirror which she has snatched from the wall. On the wall is an oval bust portrait of 'Charles 2d', his tiny head framed in an immense powdered wig."--British Museum online catalogue

"An effeminate dandy, elongated and with very thin arms and legs, leans back in a chair, one thin arm drooping to the ground, the other curving over his head, his fingers caressing a curl on his forehead. He gazes sideways with a languishing smile at his reflection in the toilet-table glass. He has a thread-like moustache, blue tail-coat with high collar and sleeves, a rose in the button-hole, a white collar and cravat, white waistcoat with a long gold watch-chain round the neck, long light pantaloons, tight from the knee, full at the waist; low pumps with very-pointed toes. On the dressing-table are brush and comb, stoppered bottle, &c, and long tube-like bottle (of Eau de Cologne). Behind (right) on a similar chair a monkey squats admiring its face in a hand-glass. The room is bare, but carpeted to the wall."--British Museum online catalogue

A well-dressed prostitute lounges on a sofa inside a tent in a military camp; behind her is a sword and a gorget. Behind the sofa is a screen with the same embroidered design; the ground is covered with an ornate rug. She holds a letter in her right hand and a riding crop in her left hand as she looks up at the viewer with a seductive smile. Her blouse is unbuttoned to expose her breasts. At her feet is a vase with flowers
