Image upper left: A satirical view a shooting party with the man center holding out his wig to a group of three men with a dog who hold guns and look amused at his dismay. To the left two other huntres and their dog look on also amused, Image upper right: A woman in a bonnet and apron walks into a cottage holding a pitcher. One man (center) looks at her with surprise and horror. Another man sits at a table (left) and smiles at the scene. On the table are two cups and a pipe; behind the table, a tall clock. On the wall, a sporting calendar, Image lower left, Plate 1: A satirical view of a squire's housekeeper wearing the newest fashion. She is shown full-length from the back with her gown bunched up over her blue quilted petticoat, splashed with mud, and short enough to show thick legs. The gown is decorated with a large sunflower, tight waist, and elbow-sleeves with ruffles. Her bonnet over her cap complete the contrast with contemporary, fashionable dress. See British Museum catalogue, and Image lower right, Plate 2: A woman stands under a tree talking to a yokel in a smock. She wears a red cloak and high pattens

Abstract:
"Simple-minded people gaze up at placards inviting subscriptions to unsound companies. A high wall runs from a house partly visible on the extreme left, to the street corner, enclosing a large building placarded Hospital for Incurables Supported by Voluntary Subscribers [i.e. for victims of speculation mania]. On the right are old-fashioned houses, one of which is alined with a church, the scene suggesting one of the older parts of the City of London with seventeenth-century houses. The high wall on the left is covered with large bills at which the gullible are gazing: [1] Doctors Company--Capital One Million divided into Shares at -- Pr Share--the Advantages incalculable No Charge for Emetics opening draughts Injections &c-- [signed] Sam Sexton Clerk, [2] Patent Coffins provided on the shortest notice --No Surgeons Admitted--. [3] Genuine Milk Company free from Chalk Poison Water &--. [4] Company of Menders--Open to both Sxes in shares at--pr Share.

On the opposite side of the wide irregular street is a low-grade barber's shop, with the barber shaving a customer in the doorway. Outside the door his dwarfish assistant sharpens a razor on a grindstone. Above the door is a large tilted board: Tim, Slashem Barber and Perriwig Maker--begs leave to inform the patronizers of Merit--that he means to form a New Company of Mowers of Beards having discovered a New Machine to Shave 60 men in a minute, to comb oil and powder their wigs in the Bargain. NB. Bleeding and Teeth drawn gratis. The striped pole slants forward above the board. At a casement window under the roof a woman is washing; a cat prowls on the tiles. This is a corner-house, its (invisible) side facing Bubble Alley, where the corner-house has a large placard: Peter Puff--Manufacturer of Deal Boards--without Knots from genuine Saw dust &c. At right angles to this is a narrow street receding towards the church. On this are more bills and a projecting lantern: Subscri[bers or ptions] taken in here. Spectators gaze at the bills in the foreground, middle distance, and background. On the left a fat 'cit' and his taller and more fashionable wife walk purposefully; she dangles a reticule, his hand is deep in a pocket, they are clearly deluded subscribers. A yokel and his wife gaze up at the 'Milk Company' advertisement. On the right a countryman on horseback followed by his dog stares up at the barber's notice, as does a bearded Jew carrying a sack (of old clothes)."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Scene at the door of a Portsmouth brothel, a corner-house. A handsome young prostitute, elaborately dressed, with curls, feathered hat, and fluttering sash, walks from it, gazing straight before her. Behind her is a fat and hideous bawd, hands on hips, who watches her with calculating malevolence. The bawd wears a watch and seals dangling from her waist; behind her is a doorway inscribed 'Hotel', with an oil-lamp (as in British Museum Satires No. 11454) projecting from the door-post; a bell-pull is inscribed 'Ring the Bell'. Just within the door is a dark lobby lit by a lamp hanging from the ceiling and leading to a second (closed) door in which there is a small grille or judas. On the wall of the house is the inscription 'Portsmouth Dock', and three bills: 'From the Country an Assortment of Fresh Ware'; 'A Tragedy in Rehearsal'; 'Leakes Genuine Pills'. In the background is a humbler establishment, with irregular gabled roof and a porch inscribed 'Lodgings'. A sailor stands looking up at a woman who leans from the window with outstretched arms. Flames and smoke belch from the chimney. Behind it are masts and sails."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"Wardle stands in a bedroom addressing a crowd in the street below through an open sash-window flush with the floor. Behind him stands Mrs. Clarke (left), with arms outstretched, pointing at Wardle, and declaiming: "And Clarke said unto Felix. Thou art the Man- behold the Furniture! and Felix Trembled". Wardle, fashionably dressed and wearing Hessian boots, stands with clasped hands and flexed knees. He says: "Good People of the United Kingdom suspend your judgement for the present till I get this woman placed in the pillory-I never did any thing naughty with her no more than the child unborn-it was all for the good of my Country I assure you I am as firm a patriot as ever purchased a convex Mirror, or a red turkey Carpet". The heads and shoulders of the proletarian and much amused spectators are closely grouped on the extreme right, with a background of town houses. Behind Mrs. Clarke is a draped dressing-table on which stands a bottle of 'Ratifie' and glasses. The curtains of the bed form a background (left)."--British Museum online catalogue

"A fat 'cit' on an ill-bred horse leans back in the saddle with legs thrust forward; the angle of his seat is shown by a dotted half-circle above his head on which 90 degrees are marked, above his point of contact with the horse. An absurd dog barks at the horse's heels. In the background two riders are being flung from their horses. Behind them is St. Paul's and adjacent houses. On the right is a windmill. Illustration to an account of a grotesque City subscription hunt, whose rule is never to go out of sight of St. Paul's."--British Museum catalogue
