"A whole length figure stands full-face divided by a vertical line, one half (left) representing a man, the other a woman. The background is similarly bisected, one half (left) being a surgeon's dispensary, the other a carpeted room with a domestic grate on which a saucepan is heating. Beneath the title: 'or a newly discover'd animal, not known in Buffon's time; for a more full description of this Monster, see, an ingenious book, lately publish'd, price 3/6, entitled, Man-Midwifery dessected, containing a variety of well authenticated cases, elucidating this animal's Propensities to cruelty & indecency, sold by the publisher of this Print, who has presented the Author with the above for a Frontispiece to his Book.' The surgeon, who is fashionably dressed, holds an instrument inscribed 'Lever'; the woman holds out a small vessel. The man's bottles, &c, are ranged on three shelves; on the lowest, inscribed 'This shelf for my own use', are bottles inscribed 'Love Water', 'Cantharides', 'Eau de vie', 'Cream of Violets'. Obstetric instruments are inscribed: 'forceps', 'Boring Scissors', and 'Blunt Hook'. On the ground (left) is a large pestle and mortar."--British Museum online catalogue
