"Half length portraits of Dr. Willis and Sheridan in close proximity, repeated twice, the doctor being on the extreme left and right, the two Sheridans in the middle. One couple (left) is inscribed 'Sunday', the other (right) 'Saturday'. The doctor in both cases answers a question in a label which projects into the design from an unseen inquirer: 'Doctor, how is your Patient to Day'. On the left he answers with a contented expression: "Better thank God"; his neighbour angrily shouts "Damnation". On the right he has an expression of melancholy anxiety, the head of his cane held to his lip; he answers: "Rather worse - Sir - ". Sheridan, with a satisfied and cunning smile, says, "Ha - ha - rare news"."--British Museum online catalogue

"A drunken orgy in a room with mirrors on the wall. Britannia, dressed as a courtesan (right), leans back in a chair, dead drunk, in her right. hand is a wine-bottle. One foot rests on her shield. A man standing behind pours over her the contents of a wine-bottle, in his right. hand he holds out a wine-glass. In the centre is a staggering figure wearing the ribbon and order of the Bath. His pocket is being picked by a plainly dressed man, while another holds his shoulder. Two men aimlessly flourish drawn swords. Another aims a blow with a long pole at a mirror. A courtesan has broken a mirror with a wine-bottle which she is waving in the air. In the background a woman, seated on a man's knee, is picking his pocket. On the floor in the foreground are broken wine-glasses, and a broken punch-bowl inscribed "the Constitution". The explanatory text asks "Who are the greatest drunkards? - Those at the helm - Who set the most glaring examples of adultery, fornication, &c -.."."--British Museum online catalogue
