Abstract:
"An untidy shock-headed footman stands letting a tureen slide on to the table so that its contents pour out; in his Ieft hand is a dish containing a leg of mutton, held so that joint and gravy fall to the floor. He stands between a hideous old woman at the head of the table (right) and a comely young one on her right. A fat maidservant follows the footman, holding a dish. Behind the man hangs an elaborately framed bust portrait of a grim-looking man wearing an early eighteenth-century wig. A cockatoo screams from a cage (left). A dog sits behind the old woman's chair, a cat puts its fore-paws on the table to lap the spilt soup. Below the title: 'Take off the largest dishes, and set them on with one hand, to shew the ladies your vigour and strength of back, but always do it between two ladies, that if the dish happens to slip, the soup or sauce may fall on their cloaths, and not daub the floor, by this practice, two of our brethren, my worthy friends, got considerable fortunes. . . . When you carry up a dish of meat, dip your fingers in the sauce, or lick it with your tongue, to try whether it be good, and fit for your masters table - .'

"A satire on Drury Lane Theatre. The Board consists of three men at a table, almost covered by four large dishes, each containing an article of food with a portrait head. On the farther side sits Sheridan, ladling guineas towards his grinning and avid mouth. Facing him is Tom Sheridan, identified by a pamphlet, 'Caractacus', in his coat-pocket, and, opposite him, the President of the Board, .... These two turn towards the foremost of a number of hungry dogs with human heads; the latter beckons to him, while Tom feeds him with a cheque or note of 100£. Another dog, its collar inscribed 'John Bull' [1803], showing that he is Colman, turns away, but looks distrustfully over his shoulder at the pair. There are six others. T. Sheridan draws furtively from the pocket in the tail of his coat a purse, for which a (normal) dog begs, seated on an open book, 'The World' [first played at Drury Lane 31 Mar. 1808], showing that he is James Kenney. Beside the book are scattered papers inscribed 'Rejected Plays &c.', at which two dogs with human heads sniff and paw. One has a collar inscribed 'Carlo' [from 'The Caravan', see No. 10172, &c.], and is probably F. Reynolds. A man, resembling Wroughton in No. 11079, approaches the table, a napkin under his arm, carrying a large tureen inscribed 'Water Grue and containing plays: 'World!' [Kenney], 'Siege of St Quintin' [by T. Hook, first played Drury Lane 10 Nov. 1808], 'Travellers' [by Andrew Cherry, music by Corri, first played Drury Lane, 14 Jan. 1806], 'Venoni' ['or, The Novice of St. Mark's'] (by M. G. Lewis, first played Drury Lane, 1 Dec. 1808). The dishes on the table are 'Toad in a Hole, Turtle, Calfs Head Surprse [sic]', and 'Barbicued Pig'. Under the table (right) is a pile of papers, or books in shadow at which mice or rats are nibbling. These are the neglected classics, and are inscribed 'Jonson', 'Shakesp . . .', 'Beaumont and Fletch . . .' The room is panelled."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A design in two equal compartments placed side by side. A fat Frenchman (left) sits at a round table in profile to the right, knife and fork in hand, grinning delightedly at a large joint of beef flanked by a vast loaf and a decanter. He wears an enormous cocked hat, Hessian boots, and a coat of quasi-military cut. He says: "Ah What Monsieur Jack Bull you going to starve me!!!" Beside him sits his greyhound, bulgingly replete. From the table hangs a scroll: 'Beef Mutton Veal [bracketed] 002, loaf 005, Plenty'. The table has a cloth, the floor is carpeted. John Bull (right), thin and almost bald, his baggy face showing traces of former tet, sits in profile to the left, with clasped hands, regarding with resigned disgust a small oblong table, on which are a plate of fish (herring and sprats), a small oar, and a meagre dish of potatoes. His ragged coat is that of a once prosperous citizen. He says: "who would have thought it!" From the table hangs a scroll headed 'Pd: Beef 1s, Mutton 10 1/2, Veal 1[s], Butter 1. 6, loaf 1. 9 Potatoes 3d' A pitcher of water stands on the boarded floor. Beside him his emaciated bulldog lies moribund. On the wall in each compartment is a large print: [left] 'A French man in 1788', a copy, reversed of the Frenchman in British Museum Satires No. 5612, Gillray's 'Politeness' (see frontispiece, vol. v); a thin fop taking snuff, and saying over his shoulder (to John Bull), "Vous etes une Bete". The lean greyhound behind his chair sniffs other nervously towards John's mastiff; frogs hang on the wall, [right] A copy of the other part of British Museum Satires No. 5612: 'John Bull in 1788', John sits scowling contemptuously over his (right) shoulder at the Frenchman, saying, "you be d------d". A huge joint hangs on the wall."--British Museum online catalogue
