"A squarely built young man walks, with an unseeing stare, diagonally towards the spectator and to the left, on a pavement. He wears a round hat, high coat-collar over swathed neckcloth; his double-breasted 'Jean de Bry' coat, see BMSat 9425, is strained across a double-breasted waistcoat horizontally striped. He wears long breeches or pantaloons which drape his legs, and low pumps with cross gartering above his ankles. In his right hand he clutches a tasselled cane, held horizontally."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A grotesquely hideous man, lean and elderly, sits in an armchair addressing a comely young woman who stands demurely (l.), her pose accentuating her pregnancy. Behind them is an empty fireplace; on the chimney-piece is a Venus pudica flanked by cupids, one with a bow and arrow, the other with a torch. On the wall are two pictures; (l.) a cock and hen facing each other like fighting-cocks, and (r.) a horse in the last stage of decrepitude, assailed by carrion birds."--British Museum online catalogue.

"An imitation of BMSat 8913, by Woodward. A fat parson sits drinking beside a small round table. His face is fiery and carbuncled. He wears gown and bands, with unbuttoned waistcoast, and ungartered stocking; his wig is back to front. Opposite him, on a round stool sits Care, a naked man, grotesque, aged, emaciated, with a scraggy beard and long grey hair, and talons on hands and feet; he registers gloomy terror. The parson, with a contemptuous smile, snaps his fingers at Care. On the table are decanter, pipe, tobacco-box, and lemon. On the wall (left) is a 'List of the Tythes for the Parish of Guttledown'. A patterned carpet completes the design. An illustration of the song (illustrated also by R. Cruikshank in 'The Universal Songster', ii, 1826, p. 129)."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Two terrified riders meet face to face on Hounslow Heath; each takes the other for a highwayman. One (left) losing his stirrups holds out his purse, saying, "Here is my Money! Spare my Life". The other dropping his whip, puts his hand in his waistcoat pocket, saying: "Ah! - don't Fire! - I'll give all". Both have dropped their reins. A signpost (left) points 'To Hounslow'."--British Museum online catalogue.

"An ugly middle-aged woman, wearing a calash hood (cf. BMSat 5434) over a cap, picks up her petticoats to step over or through a bush shaped like a forest tree, but spotted with red fruit. She grins and clutches in her right hand a paper inscribed 'Wonderful Aeronauts'. She is walking towards a garden latrine (left). Two concentric circles of greenery surround the bush. There is a landscape background."--British Museum online catalogue.
