Abstract:
A scene in London, possibly near St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, shows a musician at an open window holding his ears against the noise of the street; a pregnant ballad-seller chants while her baby cries and a parrot above her head on the lamp post squawks; a milkmaid and other street-traders cry their wares; one small boy plays a drum while another urinates under the startled gaze of a small girl who holds a rattle and stands by a house made of toy blocks; an itinerant oboist plays; a dustman carries his basket and a bell; a knife-grinder sharpens a cleaver, a dog barking at his feet; on the roof at the right two cats fight (both shown with arched backs) just beyond the chimney from which a chimney sweep emerges. A sign to the left of the musician's window advertises The Beggar's Opera. A sign on the building to the right reads "John Long Pewterer." In this state the horse on the extreme right is black (white in the earlier state), the boy's slate trailing on the ground was only half shaded in the earlier state, but is now darkened

Abstract:
"A group of men standing outside a dilapidated building, part of which is visible on the right. One, wearing a broad-brimmed hat, holds in his left hand a torn paper on which parts of words are visible: "[Pet]itio[n] ... [Fr]eehold[rs] . . . Minist[ry] . . ." His right forefinger is extended as if laying down the law to his companions. On his right stands a man holding his chin with an expression of deep thought. In his right hand is (?) a turncock. Next him (left) is an artisan, listening intently, his breeches unfastened at the knee, his stockings ungartered; he holds a short hammer and is probably a shoemaker. Behind (right) a man wearing a waistcoat over a ruffled shirt, but no coat, lounges against the stump of a tree and listens open-mouthed. On the top of the stump is an open dish of food which a dog is eating, his head twisted backwards in a peculiar manner. Beneath the design is engraved, "The Rabble gather round the Man of News And listen with their mouths. Some tell, some hear, some judge of news, some make it, And he that lyes most, is most beleiv'd -""--British Museum online catalogue
