Fevers and some obstinate Catarrhs', calls down curses on the 'new-invented waterproof (the earliest instance of the word in the 'O.E.D.' is an advertisement of Jan. 1799), asks for compassion to his book of bad debts, and pins his hopes on the squire's lady having an heir which he may 'bring handsomely into the world ...'."--British Museum online catalogue

"Hand-to-hand encounters between surgeons, indicated by their instruments and their old-fashioned dress, and barbers, wearing aprons and also with the tools of their trade. In the centre a barber seizes the wig and neck-cloth of his antagonist, who says: "Take care of my Wig I had it new to go down to the House". The other answers: "I ll dress your wig for you Master Bolus - you Bleed indeed - why I let as much blood for a penny, as you charge a pound for". A barber (left) bends over his prostrate victim (who cries murder murder), saying, "I'll teach you to despise Gentlemen Barbers you pitiful Pill monger." A stout well-dressed surgeon (right) raises his tasselled cane to strike a terrified and ragged barber, saying: "Ill teach you, you beggarly Scoundrel to call yourself Barber-surgeon & poking out your Damn'd Pole - when I am riding in my Chariot". The other screams "O Dear Brother Dressum youll throttle me I take in my Pole Damn the Cutting Part of the business". Behind (left), under a barber's pole from which hangs a barber's basin, a surgeon raises his cane to smite a fleeing barber. In the background two other couples are fighting.

Heading to a printed broadside that begins: "Pity the sorrows of a poor old man, whose worn-out limbs have borne him to your door ..." The King is shown as a haggard beggar, his clothes torn and a pack on his back. He holds out his inverted crown with his left hand, seeking donations; his right hand grasps the cane he is leaning on. The sign post behind him says "To Bradenburg [sic] House" and points to the right, the direction in which the King travels. Brandenburgh House is seen in the background on the right, the Queen looking sternly out the window at the disheveled King. A sign at the gate to the house says "Beware of steel traps and sping [sic] guns." In the left background is a smaller house labeled "The Cottage".

Abstract:
A young fashionably dressed man casually swings a club around him which knocks an older lady and her apple cart clear into the air. From the caption: ... the manner of using it is the fashionable swing, as directed in the first article; it may be necessary to observe that the practitioner should be a person of some rank in life, to give the proceedings an eclat this with a proper portion of common assurance, aided by inebriety, will enable him to knock down men, women, children, and apple stalls with impunity and at the same time preserve a perfect sang froid on the occassion
