Abstract:
"A scene in a barber's shop during the Westminster Election of 1784. The centre figure is a man seated, full-face, swathed in a sheet, while a boy (left) applies tongs to his hair, which a man (right) is combing. From the pocket of the boy protrudes a label inscribed 'Hood'; from that of the other, '[Wr]ay'. On the ground projecting from the sheet is '[F]ox'. In the foreground (left) a customer is seated, clasping his bald head with a concerned expression as he reads a newspaper; behind his head is a notice, 'State of the Poll'. Two men, their hair freshly curled, stand in profile to the left before a looking-glass (left) adjusting their cravats. On the extreme right a barber shaves a man whose face is lathered; the barber's apron is inscribed 'Success to the Poll'. Next, a stout man wearing top-boots, standing full-face, turning his head upwards and in profile to the left, stanches a cut on his cheek with a towel. A boy stands beside him holding a barber's basin. In the centre foreground two dogs tug at a bag-wig; one (left) wears a 'Hood & Wray' favour, the other a Fox favour. A large hat on the ground has a 'Hood and Wray' favour. A barber's block has been overturned (left). On another (left) is a wig. Wigs and wig-boxes decorate the back wall."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A wooded scene in the immediate suburbs of London, with St. Paul's in the background. Two 'cits' with guns prepare to fire, since their dog points at a bush, behind which, concealed from the sportsmen, squats a man excreting (left). A man holding a powder-flask watches with amusement from the top of a gate (right). Another dog sits in the foreground (right). Beneath the title is engraved: 'Against the Wind he takes his prudent way, While the strong Gale directs him to the prey; Now the warm scent assures the covey near, He treads with caution & he points with fear. Gay. -------------------------clausisque expectat ocellis; θυμπον---------------------------------------------'."--British Museum online catalogue

"A fat man (left) seated in an arm-chair, his swathed left leg supported on a stool, his crutches and an open 'Treatise on Gout' beside him. A meretricious-looking young woman bends over him, putting her right hand on his right shoulder and holding his left hand. A young woman of disreputable appearance pours out wine for him. A footman in livery (right) is about to put a large tureen on a dinner-table (right). A fat man is seen through an open door. A dog and cat lie together in the foreground. Behind the man's chair are the curtains of a bed. Probably one of the establishments in King's Place, cf. British Museum Satires No. 6764, &c."--British Museum online catalogue
