A man stands in a room holding a caduceus decorated comic mask, saying ''When I do stare, see how the subjects quacke'." He is surrounded with bills and a bag of coins on the table, both suggesting corruption. At sign hanging from the table reads "Alexandrian Memorial, A loss is no benefit. No committee." Below on the floor, another discarded scroll reads "Rejected with prejudice." At his foot is an animal (a fox?) holding a sign "Designs [ca]refully copied, civilly returned, and he carries in his hand a piece of paper "I perceive the trick & will avoid the cheat. Na-th." Behind him hangs a sign, "The exact-u-trick is safe or 22d Sept." On the wall is a picture of the facade of a theater. Probably a satire on an unidentified theater manager

Abstract:
"The interior of a breeches-maker's shop or workroom. Two men standing, one on a chair, the other on a stool, are attempting to pull up the very tight breeches of a stout man, who is lifted from the ground by their efforts. A stout woman enters from the right holding a pair of breeches under her arm. On the wall is a placard: 'Ramskin, Elastic Spring Breeches Maker They set close to the Hips and never alter their Shape which Thousands can Testify Likewise a large & curious assortment of Breeches Balls Straps Boot Garters &c &c &c.' Breeches and straps hang on the wall (right). The room is raftered and very scantily furnished."--British Museum online catalogue

"Emblematical title-page to a set of prints on the Opposition. A fire burns on an altar of quasi-classical shape, on which is the title; apes' heads take the place of rams' heads, and a garland of laurel is bound with tricolour ribbon. At the base of the altar lies a cornucopia in the form of a bonnet-rouge transformed into a fool's cap terminating in a bell (cf. BMSat 8644). From it pour emblems of gods and goddesses: Thunderbolts tied with tricolour, an owl, grapes, caduceus, bow and arrows, hammer and pincers, trident, lyre, club, two doves on a shield with the head of Medusa. The arc of a pilastered wall forms a background."--British Museum online catalogue
