Abstract:
The countess is shown swooning in a chair in her father's house near London Bridge (seen through the window on the left). At her feet a bottle with a label "laudanum" alongside an execution broadside tells us that Silvertongue has been hanged for killing her husband and that she has attempted suicide. Her young child (wearing a leg brace as a result of congenital syphilis) is held up for a last kiss by an old woman, while her father removes her wedding ring. An apothecary strikes the simple-minded servant for procuring the laudanum; a doctor leaves by a door to right. Fire buckets line the hallway. The floor of the room is bare; a heavy chair near a table is overturned, a starving dog chewing at the calf's head on the table. Other decorations include a weight-driven wall-clock, the paintings of Dutch peasant subjects and a man relieving himself against a wall, and a set of ledgers indicates that accounts are kept up to date

In a large, barn-like hall on the street level, at the open door on the right, a man stands outside with a raised staff, denying entrance to two men coming towards him. The hall is spacious, with an arched double door and a skylight window above in the center of the back wall and a tall, hooded chimney over a fireplace on the left. Along the back of the hall two women sit on a bench awaiting an interview. The one on the left has crossed eyes and spots on her forehead and checks, her hands in a muff. Two youths standing behind her smile down on her scornfully. Further to the right sits a poorly dressed black woman with an eager expression on her face. A young woman standing behind her appears to instruct her while pointing to the interview taking place in the foreground. On the left, an old getleman examines a young, buxom maid whom he is holding by the arm. A copy of Harris's list sticks out from his coat pocket. Above the maid is a notice on the wall “To be Lett and enter'd on immediately.” Two other women standing by the fireplace watch the pair intently. In the center of the image, an elderly lady leaning on a cane examines through her quizzing glass a sturdy young man she is interviewing. Above them is notice on the wall “Wanted a Strong Man servant for a Lady to do all Work.” Between them on the ground, sits a little boy with a toy in his hand. Next to them, a large dog lies asleep, with a note next to his muzzle, "A faithful servant wants a place". On the extreme right, a man seated behind a desk with his back to the viewer, gives a young woman a paper signed "To Mrs. Coupler Covent Garden". In bottom right of image is book open with title page partially obscured by trunk on top of it: “Modern Chastity exposed. a Vindic[ation] Hon.” A large lantern is suspended from the ceiling near the fireplace. One of its panes reads, "Cheatall's new Statute Hall every day", another, "A Statute Hall for hiring servants."

In front of Humphrey's print shop window, a man sits on the pavement, having fallen backwards; his legs are splayed up, his wig is falling off, and coins spill from his pockets. The man's predicament is unobserved by four men studying the Gillray prints displayed in the shop window, each identifiable: a gentleman with a quizzing glass held to his eye; a military officer; a coachman; and a young dustman carrying a pair of skates under his arm, his nose eaten away by syphilis. From the cobblestone street a dog looks at the man. Through the shop door, two men, one an obese cleric, are shown examining a print

Abstract:
A dilapidated room with Moll Hackabout's friends, mostly prostitutes, gathered around her open coffin, several of them weeping; one young woman stands with her back to the scene as she gazes at herself in the mirror. On the left, a clergyman spills his brandy as he surreptitiously gropes beneath a woman's skirt; Moll's serving woman, standing at the coffin with a wine bottle and glass in hand scowls at the pair. Under the window and to the right, the undertaker flirts with a pretty young prostitute who picks a handkerchief from his pocket. In the foreground Moll's small son playing with a spinning top. Sprigs of yew (rosemary?) decorate her coffin; a plate of yew rests on the floor at the parson's feet, another spring at her son's feet

In a shabby room in Drury Lane; Moll Hackabout is shown having risen late (the watch shows 11:45), attended by a serving-woman who has lost part of her nose to syphilis; in the background, the magistrate, John Gonson, enters quietly with officers to arrest her; pinned to the window frame are prints of Captain Mackheath (the hero of "The Beggar's Opera") and Dr Sacheverell (the High Anglican clergyman impeached in 1710), the wig-box of James Dalton, highwayman, sits above the bed, and one of several beer tankards on the floor carries the name of a Drury Lane tavern. A kitten plays at Moll's feet. A copy of Bishop Gibson's "Pastoral Letter to ..." serves as a butter dish. Above the window on the left is a print after a Titian painting depicting the angel staying the hand of Abraham as he is about to slay Isaac. Medicine bottles on the window sill suggest that Molly is already ill with the disease that will later kill her
