A copy after the 1734 print from a design by W. Hogarth. The artist Jonathan Richardson, seated at a table, looks through a telescope that is aimed at the bare bottom of his son who stands on the table before him. Through his son the father looks at a volume of "Virgil [A]enid" which lies open on the shelf above. With his right hand he writes with a quill pen on a sheet of paper with the heading 'Note'. On the other shelves along the wall are paintings and small statuary; on the wall below the shelves is a portrait of Milton. On the floor in the lower right edge is an artist's palette and an easel. A dog jumps and barks at the son's feet

Abstract:
"The design is surrounded on the upper and side margins by a festooned curtain; from this, in the upper corners, smiling heads look out supporting a chain of prints, small copies of plates in the volume, overlapping one another. These form a border to the central figure, who stands, like a showman, addressing the spectator, arms extended, opera-hat in his right. hand. He resembles the man who stands chapeau-bras in British Museum satire No. 10889. Behind him (left and right) stand six grinning figures, men and women, who listen to him. All seven are grotesque figures with large heads, typical of Woodward's 'Lilliputians' (cf. Museum Satire No. 9635). He says (the words etched above his head across the centre of the design): "Ladies and Gentlemen having compleated the first volume of the Caricature Magazine I am desired in the names of the Proprietors. Publisher Artists &c. as also from myself and large-long [see British Museum Satire No. 10604, &c], and small headed Bretheren to return you our sincere thanks for the kind reception we have experienced, in this the commencement of our exertions, and at the same time to assure you that neither pains nor expence shall be spared to merit your future patronage, you are requested to be as early as possible in giving your orders for the first number of the second volume, for the present Ladies and Gentlemen we most respectfully take our Leave." At the base of the design, flanking a tablet on which the title is etched in small letters are (left) ink-stand, book: 'Sketches from Nature', and a rolled print or drawing. On the right are painting materials: palette, with brushes, and mahl-stick, small bags of (powdered) colour, porte-crayon, and another print or sketch. ..."--British Museum online catalogue

Satire with three-quarters length portraits of Wilkes (left), Bute (middle), and Hogarth (right) in oval cartouches; below each portrait is an acrostic of the name of the sitter above. Wilkes holds a book marked "North Briton, No. 17" which was published 25 September 1762. In front of the portrait at the base of the oval is a book marked "North Briton No. 45". Wilkes's frame is decorated with a cap, staff, and wreath of "Liberty"; on a ribbon is "Magna Carta". Bute looks out at the viewer, a book inscribed "Cyder and Perry &c. &c" at the base of the oval frame; a scourge and manacles are place on either side of the frame, alluding to the prosecution undertaken by the ministry of Lord Bute. Hogarth is shown in profile sketching Wilkes and looking across the portrait of Bute. The book at the base of the frame is "Line of Beauty".
