A man stands in a room holding a caduceus decorated comic mask, saying ''When I do stare, see how the subjects quacke'." He is surrounded with bills and a bag of coins on the table, both suggesting corruption. At sign hanging from the table reads "Alexandrian Memorial, A loss is no benefit. No committee." Below on the floor, another discarded scroll reads "Rejected with prejudice." At his foot is an animal (a fox?) holding a sign "Designs [ca]refully copied, civilly returned, and he carries in his hand a piece of paper "I perceive the trick & will avoid the cheat. Na-th." Behind him hangs a sign, "The exact-u-trick is safe or 22d Sept." On the wall is a picture of the facade of a theater. Probably a satire on an unidentified theater manager
