Abstract:
"The Lord Chancellor (Eldon), preceded by his mace-bearer holding a sword, is about to alight on the pavement outside Westminster Hall (left), having flown diagonally down from the right; next him is (?) the Vice-Chancellor Plumer, close behind are eight other judges followed by a closely packed swarm of barristers who recede in perspective. All are in wig and gown. Behind the barristers are their clerks, wearing top-hats and carrying (green) brief-bags over their shoulders. Three men stand outside the door of Westminster Hall waiting obsequiously to receive the Chancellor and his swarm; one is a constable holding his staff, the others wear black gowns, the foremost having cloven hoofs. In the street below (right) a few terrified pedestrians look up at the monstrous flight."--British Museum online catalogue

Engraving of William Hogarth’s 1748 painting ‘O the Roast Beef of Old England’ (London, Tate Britain), which he had himself published as a print. The scene is set at the Gate of Calais (after the painting in the Tate Gallery) with a fat monk prodding a large sirloin of beef carried by a cook, on either side are two French soldiers, one of whom spills his bowl of thin soup as he gazes in amazement at the beef; on the left, three market women with crosses hanging from their necks admire a skate in a basket of fish; on the right, two ragged men carry a large pot of soup while another drinks from a bowl, and a Scottish soldier cowers beneath an archway; in the middle distance, to left, Hogarth himself is seen sketching at the moment when a soldier’s hand takes him by the shoulder; beyond, through the gate, is a religious procession
