"One of a set of eight plates, No. 7 (not mentioned by Grego) being missing, all having the same signatures. They may have been intended to burlesque Wheatley's 'Cries' (1793-7), from which they appear to derive. [The subjects are different from those of Wheatley, and there is no element of copying, but the group, with sentimental or humorous incident and architectural background, was Wheatley's innovation on the traditional single figure representing the 'Cries of London'. Cf. W. Roberts, 'The Cries of London', 1934, p. 12.] A ragged man, with traps of various patterns slung round him, and a trap in each hand, offers his wares to an old man (left) who looks from his bulk or stall, on which are a bird in a wicker cage and a rabbit in a hutch. A little boy and girl, hand in hand, stare intently at the rabbit. A dog snarls at two rats in one of the traps. A woman looks down from a casement window over the pent-house roof of the stall. In the background are a church spire and the old gabled houses characteristic of the slums of St. Giles and Westminster."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A grotesquely ugly candidate (right) bows low, top-hat in hand, right hand pointing to his breast, before a sturdy and ragged rat-catcher, who stands facing him, scratching his forehead. The latter holds by a strap a rectangular cage of rats; across his shoulders, like a garter ribbon, is a broad band on which dead rats, or rat-skins, are extended (cf. British Museum satires No. 5099). Under his arm is a rod on which two rats are spiked, a pouch hangs from his shoulders, and he wears short gaiters. The candidate, apprehensive and deferential, says: "What my honest friend Lurcher--I have not had the pleasure of seeing you since last Election. we expect a severe contest this time, therefore "earnestly Solicit Your Vote and Interest and shall request the Honor of--Mr Lurcher's Company to Dinner at the Hog in the Pound. N.B. Dinner Ticket only .10s--6d." Close behind the candidate is his very ugly agent, holding a purse from which he is about to take a coin. Both wear spurred boots. The rat-catcher answers: "I see Your Honor bees mortal short of memory. You forget as how your Worships committed me to the County Jail for--a Month--"fro [sic] only Throwing a Sheeps Je at a Hare running a cross the Common. So your worship may if you please Call a gain to Morrow [a catch-phrase, cf. British Museum Satires No. 11207]." Two curs stand beside him. Behind is the corner of his cottage; over the door: 'Gs Lurcher Rat Catcher All sorts of Vermin destroyed'. A fat countrywoman stands on the door-step using a broom to dislodge two cats from the projection over the door. In the background (right) is a country inn with a sign on which a fat pig is depicted. A man leads two saddle-horses under the entrance to the courtyard; above is a placard: 'Neat Wines ...' In a bow-window punch-bowls and bottles are ranged."--British Museum online catalogue

"Eldon as a street-beggar kneels on both knees on straw placed on paving-stones, wearing a cap resembling those worn by butchers and the rags of a Chancellor's gown over tattered breeches. He supports himself by a staff, and holds out his short powdered wig. Beside him (left) lies an empty and dilapidated bag inscribed The Old Bagg [cf. British Museum Satires No. 12883]. He looks down with a gloomy scowl, and from his closed lips rise the words: Pity the sorrows of a poor old man [cf. British Museum Satires Nos. 13991, 16236]--vide beggars petition, Tricked out of Work by a Soldier. Round his neck is tied a placard reaching below the waist, and inscribed: Pity a poor Old Man out of Place, at the age of 78 [76], and though extremely anxious, for employment, disappointed in, all his expectations of procuring the Same. His pension is only 4.000 P A [cf. British Museum Satires No. 10714] and not a Dinner has been dressed in his house within the memory of man! He has a wife to support, and a Son to provide for, who holds only Eight Appointments! Beside him an emaciated dog stands on its hindlegs holding a begging-dish, with a piteous expression."--British Museum online catalogue
