Abstract:
In a London street, young boys inflict various forms of cruelty upon animals. In the centre, a boy (Tom Nero), identifiable by the badge on his shoulder as a pupil of St. Giles's Parish School, thrusts an arrow into a dog's anus; he ignores the offer of a large tart from a sympathetic young gentleman (said by Paulson to be a compliment to the young George III). To his left on the front of the balustrade, a boy draws a prophetic picture of Tom hanging from the gallows. Below Tom, another boy ties a bone to a dog's tail. In the lower left, a dog disembowels a cat. In the center foreground another boy kneels on the cobblestones, about to release a cock, as another boy prepares to a stick at it; the boy behind him holds a second cock. On the balustrade one boy holds a torch while his companion blinds a bird with a wire. Further to the left on the balustrade a group of boys laugh at the sight of two cats fight as they are hung by their tails from a gibbet-shaped lamp post. Above them a cat with a pair of wings tied to its back has been tossed out the attic window to see if it could fly

A view of the interior of a busy French barracks shows a more domestic than military atmosphere although weapons and other gear adorn the walls and lay scattered on the floor. The scene includes a woman nursing a baby (right) as another child plays at her feet. Beside her another woman holds up a mirror so that an officer can admire his reflection from both the front and back. A third woman (left) cuts an officers toe nails as a barber dresses his long queue; another officer has his hair powdered. In the background a man in his night shirt sits on the side of his bed as he stretches his arms and yawns

In a fashionable parlor, two well-dressed couples entertain each other. On the right a gentleman plays the violin as his companion sings; she holds sheet music in her hand as she faces the fireplace, her back to the viewer. The violinist stands on a sheet of paper on which is written "The downfall of Paris." Above the fireplace, over a mantel with piles of books, including a volume with Code Napoleon written on its spine, is a portrait of "Napoleon le-Grand" and on either side, landscape views of Elba and St. Helena. On the left an effeminate soldier with a medal that reads "Jena" (a reference to the 1806 victory?) offers a young lady plates of fruit and cookies. The side table beside them is laiddened with fruit, flowers, liquor, and cookies. A fluffy, white dog barks at her feet. Pairs of Cupids with arrows and with laurel wreaths decorate the wallpaper
