"John Bull (right), an obese 'cit', is addressed by a group of citizens, less obese, but much caricatured. Their spokesman says: "You must know, Mr Bull, we are a Society of Odd Fellows who had a lodge in Downing Street, and were robb'd of our Cash and accounts, notwithstanding we met at the Kings Head and so near the Treasury too! - is not it very hard - however we have left Downing Street intirely!" John, his hands under his coat-tails, answers: "All I have to say my good Friends is this - I am very sorry for you but I must own I am of opinion if some more Odd Fellows in Downing Street were to quit theire situations it would be very much to my advantage!" They stand in 'Bird Cage Walk', the name being on a piece of paper on the ground. Behind are railings in front of trees behind which are the towers of Westminster Abbey. On the right 'Downing Street' is indicated, abutting on the 'Treasury', on the extreme right, with a sentry before the building."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.

"An elopement. A fat woman has fallen on her back from a ladder, knocking down her lover, who lies on his back beneath her. He wears military uniform. Both scream angrily, and a dog (left) barks at her. The ladder, one rung of which is broken, leans against a first-floor window (left) from which the husband looks out, holding a candle. Behind (right), a laughing postilion holds open the door of a post-chaise. A full moon with grinning features looks down from clouds. A lamp projects from the corner of the house."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A stout, elderly, well-dressed man walks along a pavement past a ramshackle hovel, holding, reversed, a closed umbrella, which he uses as a walking-stick. He steps on a stone which tilts, splashing his white stockings with filth. From a rotten pipe which runs down the adjacent building a black flood drips and streams across the pavement. From an (invisible) upper window hang ragged garments, dripping down the wall. Broken crockery and refuse lie against the edge of the pavement."--British Museum online catalogue.
