- Abstract:
- "One of designs in lines and dots, attributed to G. Cruikshank (British Museum Satires Nos. 12955-12958). Tiny figures, composed of lines, one each for trunk and limbs, with small dots for head, hands, and feet, are generally in violent action. Women are denoted by petticoats. Animals and accessories are as a rule more realistically drawn. A sequence of six designs in two rows, divided by intersecting lines, each with a caption, a number showing the cockney's age, and inscription. 'Fishing at 16 for Turbot, & Salmon, in the New River Islington'. He sits on the bank, his line hanging vertically. A sign-post points (left) 'To Sadlers Wells'; behind, St. Paul's dominates houses and spires. Cf. No. 8939. 'Spouting 18 Performing the Part of Romeo before the Cook & Errand Boy in the Kitchen'. He rants to a fat cook and boy. 'Shooting 20 In practising Sparrow Shooting at Hornsey Wounds a Young Porker'. He fires point-blank at a pig beside a cottage; birds fly off. St. Paul's is in the background. 'Hunting 22 at the Easter Hunt, getting on at a Good rate, ....... not at all behind!' His horse leaps a low fence, he flies over its head, not far from the stag. Cf. No. 10813. 'Sporting 30 In Attempting to kill Game Shoots his Faithful Pompey'. He fires at his dog, which rolls on its back, birds fly off. 'Stuffing 40 At a Civic Feast very lucky indeed! hits the Mark every time'. He carves a plum-pudding, a waiter behind his chair holds two bottles. Two other guests are depicted."--British Museum online catalogue

- "John Bull capers on one leg, arms raised, looking down delightedly at little capering creatures at his feet whose bodies are composed of food or drink. These have human arms and legs (as in British Museum Satires no. 9851) and are flanked by two similar figures on a larger scale: a joint of beef (left), inscribed 'Sir Loin for ever' and decorated with sprigs of holly, sits on a flight of steps holding 'O the roast Beef of Old England', the tune to which they dance. On the extreme right sack inscribed 'Genuine Flour, No Adulteration' dances with heavy dignity. Two musicians are on the left: a frothing tankard of 'Old Stout', decorated with the Royal Arms as in BMSat 9851, plays a fiddle; a loaf of 'The Best Wheaten Bread' plays a pipe. The dancers are: 'Mutton 3d 1/2 Pr Pound'; 'Prime Hops, no Quashee'; 'Double Gloucester'; 'Jamaica Rum'; 'Old Port', and 'Coniac'. On a smaller scale in the foreground are 'Peace and Mealy Potatoes' and 'Excellent Fresh Butter', the last like a ballerina with petticoats extended."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

They are followed by a fat old woman, screaming furiously and brandishing an umbrella. She runs (right to left) at the head of a flock of schoolgirls, mature young women, two and two, who watch their captured companions with excited envy. They emerge from a shady lane where a signpost points (right) to 'Mrs Crostich's Boarding School for Young Ladies'.

- Abstract:
- "Scene in a handsomely furnished dining-room, probably in a club. The table is close to the large fireplace (right). The diners, eight elderly men, rise from their chairs to gaze in angry dismay at a calamity caused by a dog who has tripped up a servant in the doorway, making him spill the contents of a dish, while the man immediately behind him lets the contents of a tureen pour out. A third (left), gaping at the accident while drawing the cork of a bottle of 'Spruce Beer', lets the contents squirt at his fellow servants. Two of the 'epicures' grasp knife and fork, two have napkins tucked under the chin, one is in military uniform, two seem to be parsons. The room is pillared, with a handsome moulded ceiling and elaborate hanging candelabrum. On the chimney-piece tankards and goblets flank the squatting figure of a Chinese glutton. Above it is a large mirror in a heavy carved frame. Over the door is a picture of gormandizing monks."--British Museum online catalogue
