One pair (left) dance side by side, the man's right arm on his partner's waist, her left arm on his shoulder. The other couple face each other, the lady leaning outwards, hands on her partner's shoulders, while his left hand touches the back of her shoulder."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A domestic interior. In the upper margin is engraved, "Give me the sweet delight of Love - a Catch", and the design illustrates the lines of the catch: "A smoky house, a failing trade, Six squalling brats, and a scolding jade." A man (full-face) stands disconsolately, his hands clasped while his virago of a wife (left) threatens him with her fist. One small child pulls his coat and points to a little brother kicking on the floor, while a rather older girl weeps with her pinafore to her eyes, and another boy blows a trumpet. This group is on the right. On the left one child clutches another by the hair. The man's toes protrude through one of his shoes, he is without breeches, and these hang from a nail on the wall (right) next his wife's hat. A parroquet sits screeching on the outside of its cage. The plaster has fallen from the wall in patches, showing bricks. A smoky fire burns in the grate (left); on the chimney-piece are tea-things."--British Museum online catalogue.

A hideous, ragged woman looks amorously at her male companion, a burly dustman, as they sift through cinders; two others kneel at their feet, one also using a sieve to sift through the cinders while her companion drinks gin. In the foreground are the bones of a horse; flying overhead a flock of carrion crows.

"A paunchy carbuncled fellow, wearing old-fashioned court-dress, with ribbon, star, sword, and bag-wig, peacocks with hands on hips before an amused group in a narrow 'Whitechaple' street. They are outside the new peer's shop, from which projects a pole supporting a sign: 'Breeches cleaned lined and Repaired' and an old pair of breeches. A fat woman, probably his wife, wearing a feathered cap, stands on a step-ladder scrubbing the board above the shop-front: 'Stichall Breeches [Maker] to his Serene Highness the . . .' On the shop is a bill 'To be Sold the good Will of the Shop - Removed to Grovesner Place'. The upstart looks over his shoulder with sour defiance at the neighbours who crowd round him, highly amused, a butcher in the forefront. An aged tailor holding shears gapes in amazement."--British Museum online catalogue.
