"A handsome young military officer, seated in an armchair, drinks wine with two Jewish money-lenders, who sit facing him across a round table. He listens with a reckless smile to one of the Jews; the other peers through spectacles at 'Title Deeds'. The Jews are old, thin, and bearded, but one wears a bag-wig. On the ground by the latter (right) is a paper: 'Money Lent on good Securities. Annuities Jointers [sic] bought and Sold.' By the spendthrift's chair lies a greyhound. The background is a wall closely covered with pictures in ornate frames, which combine to tell the young man's story. Above his head is a 'Prodigal Son' kneeling among the swine; above this a reclining Venus is partly visible, and below, 'Diane', a horse and foal. Gamesters at a 'Hazard Table' hangs above 'Sir Matthew Mite', a miser with money-bags, weighing coin in sacks. Below this is a bust portrait of 'Sir Peter Plumb' in a tie-wig. A bust portrait of a scraggy woman wearing jewels is 'Lady Crane'. Below this is a picture of a fighting-cock, the frame decorated by a baron's coronet. On the right are two pictures, a jockey on a race-horse, 'Sancho', with the winning-post in the background, and a large gabled country house: 'View of the Yorkshire Estate'."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Melville and Trotter, both in Highland dress, rush into each other's arms. Trotter waves his bonnet, that of Melville falls off. Behind Trotter (left) John Bull, an obese carbuncled 'cit', with a bludgeon under his arm, and wearing a hat, watches them in sour disapproval, saying: "I say Nothing." Trotter, his eyes turned toward John, says: "Ill trot for you - Ill gallop for you all over the globe - Oh happy day for Scotland - and see how pleas'd John Bull looks - ah Johny, Johny, this is indeed a glorious triumph!" Melville says ecstatically: "What is life without a Friend". In his exuberance he kicks over an enormous tankard inscribed with the Royal Arms and 'Whitbreads Intire Butt' ... which stood on a low table. Its contents pour to the ground: 'Impeachment', 'High Crimes', 'Misdemeanors', 'Peculation'."--British Museum online catalogue.

An artist with a crazed look on his face paints at his easel the picture of Hebrew prophet (?) with wild hair and clenched fists. The artist is only half-dressed, his foot in the contents of an overturned chamber pot. He is surrounded by other pursuits of genius: a violin, scientific and medical equipment, a Roman bust, a French horn, a pile of books, etc. On the wall are three drawings: an air balloon, a dancer, and a portrait of Peter Jesta. He sits at the foot of a bed where his pretty wife sleeps peacefully, unaware that her young child is pouring out wine into a glass while a slightly older child sits with bellows before a stove, the spout of a kettle dangerously aimed in her direction.

"The gambler, in shirt and breeches, sits beside his bed registering rage and despair. Beside him (right) is a round table on which are a cocked pistol, a purse, dice and dice-box, an open pocket-book inscribed 'Money Lost 10.000'. A lighted candle is broken. His comely wife looks at him in startled horror from the curtained bed."--British Museum online catalogue.

"An adaptation of British Museum Satires No. 5172 (1773), the figures reversed and altered. A short and grossly obese 'cit' stands on tip-toe in profile to the right at a side-table, raising a punch-bowl to his lips. The bowl is supported by Death, a skeleton, who stands over his unconscious victim about to plunge a javelin into his head, his right leg raised in triumphant delight. On the side-table are a frothing tankard, lemons, decanter of 'Port'; on the ground, a row of casks, with empty bottles, a corkscrew, flagon of 'Usquebaugh', &c."--British Museum online catalogue.
