"A pedestrian struggles through deep slushy snow, facing driving snow, with a broken umbrella, the spokes projecting through the cover. He clutches at his cloak and hat; he wears gaiters to the knee with socks over them, and overshoes. Cape and comforter stream behind him. In the background is a row of three- and four-storied houses, some with shop-fronts. He shouts his greeting in the teeth of the storm to the woman in British Museum Satires No. 15000, a companion plate with the same signatures and imprint. A carriage and pair faces the storm, the coachman's cape swirling above his head. Men shovel the snow from the roofs, overturning a passer-by."--British Museum online catalogue

A witch flying to the left on a broomstick and suckling a cat, discharges a blast of "inflammable air" towards a large sphere suspended midair behind her. A spectator standing below holds a torch to the stream of air and says, "How blue it burns!" Another man identified as a F.R.S. (Fellow of the Royal Society) stands to the right watching the scene and observes, "We shall now have a Lunatick Journal." Behind the Fellow of the Royal Society is another spectator identified as A.S.S. who boasts of having a ticket to Georgium Sidus (i.e., Uranus).
