"The Duke of Clarence dances with a tall thin girl (right), holding both her hands; they face each other in profile. He is unrecognizable, a plainly dressed short and obese John Bull. She wears a cross suspended from a long necklace. The room, with boarded floor and small musicians' gallery, suggests an English provincial assembly-room rather than a Russian palace. Two couples stand against the wall (left), a lady and her partner sit on a bergère (right); a man stands near them. Two of the men have moustaches, as an indication that they are foreigners. All are much amused at the ill-matched partners."--British Museum online catalogue

"Heading to A New Song, Written & now Singing by Mr Briant, of the Royal Coburg Theatre, and likewise by Mr Lancaster at the Olympic Theatre, with rapturous applause. The interior of a watch-house. A night-watchman pushes a countryman towards a door leading to 'the black hole', another stands by with lantern and bludgeon, a third looks on, laughing, while a dim parasite holds the door open. The constable of the night (see No. 14326, &c), fat and jovial, sits in a hooded chair behind a table on which are candle, frothing tankard, book, ink-pot, &c. Looby relates, in eight eight-line verses, how he is cheated and ill-used: 'And All for Life in London --' (see No. 14320, &c). Verse 6 begins: Says I--I've Toms and Jerry's seen Throughout this famous city But Lord they make themselves such apes I think it bees a pity ... The music of the air is engraved below the verses. 22 March 1822. Hand-coloured aquatint and etching, heading to letterpress ballad."--British Museum online catalogue

The Tom and Jerry stand arm in arm, watching a scene of 'drunkenness, beggary, lewdness and carelessness-a complete picture of "Low Life" (in Wych Street, Strand).

One man, of 'shabby-genteel' appearance, 'was once one of the gayest young swells upon the town'. Over the fire are cracked pictures: Innocence and Virtue. Mugs are stacked on shelves

"A crowded interior. An old maid, grotesquely lean, spectacled, and hideous, sits in an arm-chair beside her fire (left) on which a concoction in a saucepan boils over, surrounded by fierce flames. This she stirs with a spoon but turns to the right to pore over the recipe, which is in her left hand. One bare foot with deformed toes rests on a stool beside which are a spike-toed high-heeled shoe and a stocking. A table beside her and the floor below it are crowded with bottles, jars, and medicaments, with a pestle and mortar and a lighted candle. The candle sets fire to her cap, and the flame reaches a little bird-cage hanging from the ceiling. A cat walks under her petticoats; a tiny lap-dog lies in a cushioned band-box lid at her feet. A second cat claws towards a mouse which runs up the pole of a perch on which stands, a draggled and angry cockatoo. A pug-dog also looks up at the bird. Against the wall is a stuffed cat in a glass case; above it is a burlesque picture of Susanna and the Elders. A neat curtained bed is on the right. The chimney-piece is decorated with Diana (burlesqued) urging on the hounds to seize Actæon. On it are three peacock's feathers, bottles, spills, a shell, a Chinese mandarin, &c. The fireplace is lined with pictorial Dutch tiles."--British Museum online catalogue

"A fat squat and ugly woman sits on a sofa next a tall dandified officer (right) who makes his address, his hand on his breast. She turns to him complacently, her feet awkwardly resting on a stool. Their two dogs face each other, each with shape and manner corresponding with its owner. Two appropriate pictures are on the wall: Bank of England (left) and Seige of Acre (right)."--British Museum online catalogue
