"A tailor on his raised shop-board (right) kneels in terror at the apparition of an emaciated corpse-like man and a fat pig with its throat cut standing on its hind-legs. Beneath the shop-board the head and shoulders of the Devil emerge from the flames of Hell; he holds a trident and a bulky roll of cloth inscribed 'Cabbage' (cf. BMSat 8035, &c.), implying that the tailor's pilfering has not been restricted to scraps of material. (The place where tailors kept their 'cabbage' was termed Hell; see Grose, 'Classical Dict. of the Vulgar Tongue'). The tailor wears a nightcap and apron; round his neck is a tape-measure; he says (excreting), "o Lord o Lord I am in a nasty Condition". A small demon (right) holds his nose. Beside the tailor are his goose, lying on a garment (which is burning from the heat of the iron); the heel of a loaf with a knife, onions and cucumbers lie next a paper inscribed 'sick and in prison and he [word erased, comforted] me'. reside an ink-pot are an open book: 'The Benevolent Society Benifet of \ Survivership', and a paper: 'Advice to overseers respecting the poor'. The corpse stands in back view holding out a minatory hand and turning his nead in profile to the right; he asks "who starved me to Death". The pig says "you have been the Cause of my death". A man on the extreme left looks through a door, saying, "Aye Aye this comes of your ingratitude for my saving your life". On the wall which forms a background are (left to right) two pictures, two broadside ballads, and a print: [1] The lower part of a picture of 'Howard' shows the legs of a man walking past a barred prison window, through which look two faces. (News was received on 26 Feb. of the death of John Howard, the prison reformer, 'Gent. Mag.', 1790, i. 276, but this Howard appears to be the corpse.) [2] 'A Song by Tom Stitch on the Windsor Corporation'. [3] 'A Song in Ridicule of my best Friend.' [4] A print of a gibbet from which hangs a noose inscribed 'The Desert.' [5] A large picture: 'Windsor Charity'; the tailor stands in a prison cell, pointing to an emaciated man lying on straw, turning to a woman who kneels at his feet, he says, clenching his fist, "let him Die & be d--d." The woman says, "for God sake don't Suffer my Poor father to Starve". The dying man says "I perish for want"."--British Museum online catalogue

A young Macaroni with an elaborate wig and enormous bow at his neck sits in an artist's studio as his portrait is painted by an artist, a caricature of Richard Cosway R.A., with an equally elaborate hair style. Both are fashionably dressed. The artist sits at his easel, his hand filled with paint brushes and an palette; the canvas faces the viewer so that the portrait is visible. On the wall in the background are two portraits, one of another dandy and one of a woman in an elaborate hat; the paintings hang on either side of a round mirror

Abstract:
In the center of a room Uncle Toby and Corporal Trim kneel on a chair and on floor, respectively, focusing their attention on a table to the right on which a rifle is balanced with the help of books, dishes, mops and a chamber pot. The rifle, pointed at a map of Flanders hanging behind them on the wall, is connected to Uncle Toby's chair with a long string. Uncle Toby is pointing to the contraption with a pistol in his left hand; in his right he holds a broom or a duster. Corporal Trim's pistol lies on the floor. A small dog under the table barks at them. Books and maps of fortifications are scattered on the floor in the foreground, among them a large sheet of paper inscribed, "Intergl [sic] siege, 2 quartos, 2 folios, 1 chamberp[ot], 14 rank & file, 1 mop.

"An illustration to Scarron's 'Roman Comique' (1651), Book II, ch. xx. The scene is the room of an inn. Ragotin, almost bald, sits in an upright chair wearing a long sword and jack boots; his legs do not reach the ground. The ram (left), on its hind-legs, is about to butt him. The encounter is watched by a man who leans on the back of his chair, by another seated behind the ram, and by a third standing between Ragotin and a group of two ladies and a man on the right, one being Inezilla, who had just been reading her novel. Behind this group are the curtains of a bed."--British Museum online catalogue
