Abstract:
"Burdett, young and handsome, stands between two contrasted men. He takes the left hand of a stout good-looking fellow: 'The Genius of Honour and Integrity', and points with a gesture of dismissal to 'The Monster of Corruption', a hideous and grotesque old man who departs to the right, clutching money-bags. Above Burdett's head: 'Look here upon this picture, and on this, And then Judge for Yourselves'. He wears a ribbon like a Garter ribbon inscribed 'MAGNA CHARTA Bill of Rights'. Against the head of 'The Genius of Honour' are inscriptions: 'A sound Mind'; 'An Eye ever watchful to the Welfare of his fellow Citizens.'; 'A Tongue that never belied a good Heart'. On his shoulder: 'A Shoulder that never shrinks in trouble'. A placard across his chest: 'An Upright Breast and an Honest Heart'. On his paunch: 'A Lover of Peace and Plenty A Plain Liver'. His pocket: 'Pocket ever open to the Necessities of his Fellow Creatures'. Knee: 'A Knee to Religion'. Leg: 'Legs ever steady in his Country Cause'. In his right hand, inscribed 'Hand of Justice', he holds a paper: 'A Staunch Supporter of the Bill of Rights An Advocate for a Fair Representation of the People An Enemy to Bribery and Corruption'. 'The Monster' has a large grotesque head; his bald scalp is inscribed 'Professions and Promises'; the eye-socket is covered with a white disk: 'An Eye to Interest'; his projecting nose: 'A Scent for Interest'; his projecting toothless jaw: 'A Mouth of Guile'. He wears a 'Collar of Corruption'. The arm: 'Arms of Power'; hand: 'Hands of Extortion', holding a bag: 'Pensions Reversions Perquisites of Office'. In the left hand: 'Bag of Bribery'. On his chest: 'A Cringinge Soul'. On his paunch: 'Pampered Appetite'. His coat-pocket bulges with 'Secret Service Mony'. His right leg: 'Legs of Luxury'; his left thigh: 'A Rotten Borough'; shoe: 'Feet of Connivance'."--British Museum online catalogue

"A sailor and a young woman in a low-necked dress standing next to and gazing at each other, an arm around each other's shoulders and clasping hands, their speech written above their heads. The girl says, 'you shall go with me I insist on it -'. The sailor replies, 'With all my heart my little Cruizer - but shiver my Timbers, - when I first look'd at you - and saw your out works so newly painted, and your rigging so light - that may I never cast anchor again - if I did not take you for a Modest Woman!"--British Museum online catalogue

In the hull of a ship, sea-sick men lay in their bunks, some vomiting over the side; an overturned chamber pot sits in the middle of the floor. One hardy-looking man heads up the ladder with a simple sextant in his arm. Sea chests are seen below the bunks and swords are hung on the walls

Abstract:
"A family conclave. A pretty young woman sits holding an infant in long clothes with curiously adult features; she turns towards an elderly man beside her (left); her sailor husband, who has risen from his chair, stares warily at his father. The old man, who wears a seaman's short jacket with knee-breeches, scowls towards his son, saying, "Why d'ye see I am an old Seaman and not easily imposed upon--I say that cant be my Son Jacks child why he has been married but three months and during that time he has been at sea--the thing is impossible you may as well tell me that my ship Nancy goes nine knots an hour in a dead calm, and now I look again its the very picture of Peter Wilkins the Soap Boiler." A dog sits beside him, much interested. The woman says: "My dear Father-in Law, Ill make it out very easily--Jack has been married to me three months--very well--I have been with child three months--which makes six--then he has been to sea three months has not he?-- and that just makes up the Nine!!" The husband: "Father, Farther [sic],--dont be too hard upon Poll--I know something of the log book myself--and d--m me but she has kept her reckoning like a true Seamans wife"."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
