Abstract:
"Sailor and quack face each other in a consulting room. The sailor (left) has a clumsy bandage over forehead, one eye, and left cheek; he is dressed as in British Museum Satires No. 10894; under his arm is a cudgel, and in his hand a paper headed 'List of Cures'. Behind him (left) is an open cupboard containing a tall skeleton with goggling eye-sockets. With forefinger raised, warily pugnacious, he says: "You must know Doctor I have got a bit of a Confusion on my larboard cheek from a chance shot, and as I dont think it of consequence enough for our Ship's surgeon, I bore down to you, after overhauling a long list of your cures - but I suppose front the messmate in the Cabin there, you dont always make a return of the Killed and Wounded?" The doctor, in old-fashioned dress and wig, leans towards him with extended forefinger, saying, "Sir, my rule of practice is this, there is pen, ink, and paper, - sign a certificate of your cure, and I'll take you in hand immediately on paying down two Guineas!" A table with writing materials stands against the wall; on the floor is a crudely patterned carpet."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a variant state

"A lion with the profile of the Duke of York rests his forepaws on the bank of a pool in which his hindquarters are submerged. He looks towards three asses (left) who flourish their heels at him, kicking viciously. They say (left to right) Now brothers we can kick away. he has no strength left to hurt us, & we have nothing to hope from him so we will work him to an oil.; Aye Aye I'll be at him Speedily and soon; Hoot mon I'se left off Booing to him now, for he'll never be able to pull me by the lugs after this [cf. No. 11309]. The lion says: To be insulted in my distress by all the Other Beasts of the Forrest I could bear; but to be kicked by Jack Asses- who when I was in Health & Vigor were the most servile of the Creatures-wounds me to the Soul. A signpost (right), Slough of Despond, points downwards to the lion's pool. On a hill behind are the tents of a fair, the largest flying a flag inscribed Vanity Fair. Beside them tiny figures dance, officers and women; Mrs. Clarke, with a beckoning gesture, flourishes a flag inscribed Places."--British Museum online catalogue
