A tailor and cobbler, both are partially bald, are seated with their backs to roaring fire in the grate of a fireplace. The cobbler is sitting at a table with a glass and tankard in front of him; he is smoking a pipe and blowing the smoke into the tailor's face. The tailor sits slumped forward in a state of evident inebriation and his own pipe lies broken on the floor. On the wall behind them is a picture of a man seated under a tree sketching(?) the rural scene in front of him, a church with a steeple in the distance

In a cobbler's workshop a shoemaker has seized his wife by the arm and is about to beat her with a leather strap. Her partly laced stays are being tightened by the weight of the cobblers hammer. She wears her hair in the monumental fashion, and her high heels are visible beneath the hem of a quilted skirt. To the left is a chair beneath a casement window, while a bird in a cage is suspended from the ceiling on the right

"Twelve standing figures arranged in two rows, their words etched above their heads. [1] A fat and prosperous citizen smoking a long pipe, smoke puffing from the corners of his mouth and his nostrils: 'I will be bound - with a dozen of our Club and a proper allowance of fire, and the best Virginia, to smoke the French Mounseers from Dover to Calais, in the turning of a Tobacco stopper, who's afraid?' (cf. British Museum Satires No. 8220). The others, who make similar boasts of their ability to resist an invasion are: [2] A shambling journeyman tailor who speaks in the name of 'all united Taylors'. [3] A ragged cobbler, knock-kneed to deformity, who is also a preacher, cf. British Museum Satires No. 8026. [4] A 'Loyal Gypsy' with an (unnecessary) wooden leg. [5] A young woman (? Mrs. Concannon) as one of the 'Host of Faro, prepared to batter the enemy, with the remnants of our Reputations!' [6] A badly maimed officer, on stumps, with amputated right arm. [7] A doctor prepared to use his 'patent pills' on the enemy. [8] A Billingsgate virago. [9] A yokel: 'they had better keep away from our village . . . for I believe in my heart, the very Turkies would rise in a mass against them, who's afraid.' [10] A foppish apprentice: 'I am a tight dashing fresh water Sailor; - keep a funny row to Putney every Sunday - let me catch them above Bridge - thats all. who's afraid.' [11] An attorney prepared to present his bill to the enemy. [12] A stout man wearing a hat stands in back view, legs astride, coat-tails raised as if with his back to the fire: 'Lets teach em good manners D------mme who's afraid?'."--British Museum online catalogue

"[Left image] One of two designs on the same plate, see British Museum Satires No. 6864. A cobbler (left) preaches in a bare, raftered room with a casement window. He stands behind a reading-desk on which is a large, open book, leaning forward, pointing, gesticulating, and shouting. The heads of his congregation, old men and women, are below and on the right. The title is from Burke's book, 'A Philosophical Enquiry into the origin of our Ideas of the Sublime and the Beautiful' (1756)."--British Museum online catalogue, description of later state with similar composition and "[Right image] A companion design to BMSat 6863 on the same plate. A scene in the House of Commons showing the corner of the clerks' table (left), the benches on the right crowded with members, and part of the gallery above, with two persons looking over. The new member stands, knees bent, hat in his left hand, right hand extended; his attitude and expression convey the impression of a halting and embarrassed speech. He is in full dress, with sword and bag-wig. The members listen with expressions of contemptuous amusement or boredom."--British Museum online catalogue, description of later state with similar composition
