"Illustration to Pierce Egan's Life in London, page 193. Revellers, some in masks, surround the supper-table, on which a clown dances, knocking against a chandelier of cut glass. A band of Pandean minstrels is in an alcove (r.), all play pan-pipes, some have also other instruments: drum, triangle, bells. Tom, as a Spanish don, sits at the head of the table between a queen and (?) Titania. Jerry, as a huntsman, leans across the table halloing and flourishing a whip. On the bench on the near side of the table are a Harlequin and a lady, a nun seated between a dustman and a fireman; on the r. is a devil. Other characters are a Jew talking to a pig-faced lady, see No. 12630, a Chinese, a sailor, a Don Quixote, prone on the floor and very ill."--British Museum online catalogue
