"A plump Jewess leans over the wooden barrier across the street doorway, to kiss a sucking-pig which her husband holds out to her, affectionately putting his arm round her shoulders. He is bearded, with a long coat, with a bag slung from his arm, showing that he deals in old clothes. A sow (right) looks up anxiously at the pig. A comely young woman wearing a necklace and ear-rings leans over Mrs. Shevi, admiring the pig. From an adjacent window or doorway, an elderly Jew leans, registering outraged horror. The doorway is vaulted, and has a heavy wooden door. A caged bird hangs just inside. On a wall (right) is a bill: 'Lost supposed to have been Stolen a Sow and Seven Pigs Whoever gives Information Five Pound Reward'."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.

"The comet has the profile head of Napoleon wearing a plumed bicorne; it rushes up from the left towards the sun, the profile head of George III, much irradiated. John Bull, a carbuncled 'cit', stoops low to look through a telescope on a tripod pointing towards the comet. Napoleon looks up at the King, who gazes fixedly above his head. He has ascended from a small piece of land rising from the narrow Channel separating it from John's wider fragment. Up this a frog clambers. On the open sea ships are strung out along the horizon. John says: "Aye - Aye - Master Comet - you may attempt your Periheliums - or your Devil heliums for what I care but take the word of an Old Man you'll never reach the Sun depend upon it"."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.

"Simple-minded people gaze up at placards inviting subscriptions to unsound companies. A high wall runs from a house partly visible on the extreme left, to the street corner, enclosing a large building placarded Hospital for Incurables Supported by Voluntary Subscribers [i.e. for victims of speculation mania]. On the right are old-fashioned houses, one of which is alined with a church, the scene suggesting one of the older parts of the City of London with seventeenth-century houses. The high wall on the left is covered with large bills at which the gullible are gazing: [1] Doctors Company--Capital One Million divided into Shares at -- Pr Share--the Advantages incalculable No Charge for Emetics opening draughts Injections &c-- [signed] Sam Sexton Clerk, [2] Patent Coffins provided on the shortest notice --No Surgeons Admitted--. [3] Genuine Milk Company free from Chalk Poison Water &--. [4] Company of Menders--Open to both Sxes in shares at--pr Share. None to be Admitted but who can give undeniable proofs of mending either their wives or Husbands Neighbours or Friends and lastly but most particularly Themselves. [5] Company of Scavengers Nightman [sic] and all imposters to be sent to the House of Correction. [6] Company of White Washers NB No Lawyers admitted [cf. British Museum Satires Nos. 11269, 11272]. [7] More Advantages-- A New Cabbage and Potatoe Compy Warrented Genuine No cooking required saves time and trouble 5s each Share. [8] Match and Tinder Compy Capital 2 Millions five farthings each Share. [9] Blacking Company. On the opposite side of the wide irregular street is a low-grade barber's shop, with the barber shaving a customer in the doorway. Outside the door his dwarfish assistant sharpens a razor on a grindstone. Above the door is a large tilted board: Tim, Slashem Barber and Perriwig Maker--begs leave to inform the patronizers of Merit--that he means to form a New Company of Mowers of Beards having discovered a New Machine to Shave 60 men in a minute, to comb oil and powder their wigs in the Bargain. NB. Bleeding and Teeth drawn gratis. The striped pole slants forward above the board. At a casement window under the roof a woman is washing; a cat prowls on the tiles. This is a corner-house, its (invisible) side facing Bubble Alley, where the corner-house has a large placard: Peter Puff--Manufacturer of Deal Boards--without Knots from genuine Saw dust &c. At right angles to this is a narrow street receding towards the church. On this are more bills and a projecting lantern: Subscri[bers or ptions] taken in here. Spectators gaze at the bills in the foreground, middle distance, and background. On the left a fat 'cit' and his taller and more fashionable wife walk purposefully; she dangles a reticule, his hand is deep in a pocket, they are clearly deluded subscribers. A yokel and his wife gaze up at the 'Milk Company' advertisement. On the right a countryman on horseback followed by his dog stares up at the barber's notice, as does a bearded Jew carrying a sack (of old clothes)."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A confused scene. A beadle, cane in hand, grasps the side of an overturned barrow, from which a basket, scales, and black puddings (coloured green) have fallen. A powerful young woman grasps his nose, and prepares to use her fist; an older woman clutches his back and belabours him with a basket. Both are shrieking termagants with bare breasts. A dog between the beadle's legs barks. The spectators, all close to the fray, are amused: a butcher, shouldering a tray of meat, stands outside his stall (left), which is immediately behind the combatants; from it dangle large joints and a carcase. A woman passes, pushing a barrow (left). A man's grinning face watches from the right. Behind (right) is a shop placarded 'Bob Giblet Poulterer', its ancient front hidden by bunches of hares and turkeys."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.

"A fat cook sleeps by the kitchen fire in an arm-chair with her feet high up on the chimney-piece. She holds a glass filled from a bottle of 'Cherry Bounce' at her elbow. Close beside her a comely plump kitchen-maid is also asleep, with her arm round the neck of a negro footman who sleeps on her shoulder. All have beatific smiles. Before the fire a cat sleeps on the back of a dog.

"Scene at the door of a Portsmouth brothel, a corner-house. A handsome young prostitute, elaborately dressed, with curls, feathered hat, and fluttering sash, walks from it, gazing straight before her. Behind her is a fat and hideous bawd, hands on hips, who watches her with calculating malevolence. The bawd wears a watch and seals dangling from her waist; behind her is a doorway inscribed 'Hotel', with an oil-lamp (as in British Museum Satires No. 11454) projecting from the door-post; a bell-pull is inscribed 'Ring the Bell'. Just within the door is a dark lobby lit by a lamp hanging from the ceiling and leading to a second (closed) door in which there is a small grille or judas. On the wall of the house is the inscription 'Portsmouth Dock', and three bills: 'From the Country an Assortment of Fresh Ware'; 'A Tragedy in Rehearsal'; 'Leakes Genuine Pills'. In the background is a humbler establishment, with irregular gabled roof and a porch inscribed 'Lodgings'. A sailor stands looking up at a woman who leans from the window with outstretched arms. Flames and smoke belch from the chimney. Behind it are masts and sails."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.
