A large stout man, with an expression of resignation on his face, walking between village houses, staggers under the weight of a drunken woman reposing on his back, a glass marked 'gin' in her raised right hand, her bosom exposed. On her lap sits a monkey holding on to the man's wig and thus pulling it off his head. A magpie is sitting on monkey's shoulders. Around the man's neck is a heavy chain with a huge padlock inscribed 'wedlock' hanging in the center. Behind the group, from a pigsty attached to the house on the left and inscribed, 'She is as drunk as David's sow' a pig sticks out its head. From the roof of the same house is suspended a sighboard showing two cats and decorated at top with bull's horns. Above the horns is an inscription, 'The Christian mans arms, or, the cuckolds fortune.'

"The Duke (left) and Duchess of St. Albans stand facing each other; the little Duke staggering under an ornamental basket which supports a side of bacon, inscribed Best Wiltshire. The Duchess holds on her shoulder a cutter in which are seated six oarsmen with oars held erect, and a helmsman. The Duke is dressed as Grand Falconer (see British Museum Satires No. 15596) and wears a hood with bells indicating both a fool's cap and the hood and bells of falconry. Two speeches float from his head: [1] "In love connubial, formed to live and last, This gift records a blissful twelvemonth past We claim, then boldly claim the flitch Dunmow First of the blest, who keep the marriag Vow". [2] I thought the flitch to small a present on this auspicious day so I have brought the Gammon with it Love. The Duchess answers: Thanks for your Bacon Duke well have you Saved it - and in return accept of this small Testimony of my affection. She wears Court dress, coronet, and feathers. The boatmen wear yellow and green liveries, and on the prow is a falcon's head; the back of the seat in the stern is decorated with a falcon perched on a melon resting on a heap of sovereigns. In the foreground are spectators: on the left the Dukes of Cumberland (wearing his hat) and Sussex stand together with Prince Leopold behind them; on the right is Sir Francis Burdett (son-in-law of Coutts), very thin, surprised, and displeased. In the background are other spectators, their heads concealed by the boat, and on the right a group of singers, some in Tyrolean costume, with (?) Braham and Miss Stephens; they sing: a boat a boat."--British Museum online catalogue

"A design in six compartments arranged in two rows, each with a title. [1] 'Johnnys reception by "merry Tonkanoo at Negro Ball'. The ball is in an open shed with a negro fiddler seated high on a hogshead; most of the guests watch Johnny, the only white, and 'Tonkanoo' bowing to each other. The latter is a tall negro with huge false moustache and long wig, feathered hat, and wide-cuffed coat in imitation of English dress c. 1740, with breeches and bare legs. A negro behind Johnny disperses flies with a branch. A negro couple is dancing; the ladies are fully dressed, some with tall cylindrical hats. Behind are distant mountains. [2] 'Johnny dancing with Rosa--the Planters beautiful daughter'. At the same ball all the negroes form a background of admiring spectators while Johnny, still wearing his enormous hat, dances with a pretty English girl in conventional evening dress, holding both her hands. Tonkanoo stands with his arms extended towards them. In the foreground (left) is a little naked negro Cupid with bow, quiver, and arrows, pointing to the couple. [3] 'Johnnys Courtship and professions of Love to Rosa'. Rosa reclines on a sofa under a piece of drapery looped from a tree; Johnny (left), hat in hand, kneels at her feet while the Cupid aims his bow at him. A pet monkey sits beside Rosa, and behind her (right) stands a negro girl brushing away flies with a branch. Johnny's servant is behind (left) holding an umbrella. Two cockatoos bill on a branch. [4] 'Johnny and the fair Rosa tripping to the Altar of Hymen'. The pair run hand in hand along a path which winds to a church resembling an English village church. Negro servants run after them, one holding up a large umbrella. Before them run two little negroes; one is Cupid playing a fiddle, the other, Hymen, holds up a lighted torch. In the distance, nearing the church, are the parson and his clerk. [5] 'Nuptial ceremony of Johnny and the charming Rosa'. In a Gothic church the parson with his book stands behind a cylindrical altar on which are two hearts transfixed by an arrow. Johnny puts the ring on Rosa's finger. The congregation are delighted negroes and negresses. Against the altar sit Cupid and Hymen; Cupid wears Johnny's huge hat and plays the fiddle; Hymen blows at his torch. [6] 'Johnny and his fair Bride reveling in Jollity and festive mirth'. Johnny, tipsily jovial, his father-in-law, and Rosa, sit at table, drinking, the men smoking, many bottles of 'Sangaree' on the floor. A man fiddles, and in the background a dance is in progress. Johnny wears his planter's hat, &c., as in British Museum Satires No. 11983, and has always a swarm of flies round his head. Rosa throughout wears her ball-dress, with feathers in her hair."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
