He wears a mitre and surplice with regimentals and jackboots. He turns his head to address John Bull (right), a paunchy 'cit' who stands stolidly, his hands resting on a stout stick: "You see Johnny I dont like to Squander away your money I won't have any more Clarks I wont go to Valencienes any more Ill run nothing but real Dandies there's a Saveing for you Johnny only £10000 a year for hearing the Doctors Reports & pay all my Traveling Expences I gave Mr Johnston £8 for this Charger the Cheapest I could get theres Economy for you you'l live in Clover now."

"A country barber's shop, a ramshackle room with a raftered roof. The barber stands by his seated and infuriated client, holding up his razor, and stamping with anger; others are amused: a young woman (left), who combs an angry client's hair, looks round to laugh; the barber's assistant who is combing a wig on a wig-block, and a country youth who stands beside him. A dog barks. Wigs hang up in the window (right), two busts displaying wigs stand on a bench. On the wall are prints, wig-boxes on a shelf, and a roller-towel above a wash-basin."--British Museum online catalogue

"Wardle stands in a bedroom addressing a crowd in the street below through an open sash-window flush with the floor. Behind him stands Mrs. Clarke (left), with arms outstretched, pointing at Wardle, and declaiming: "And Clarke said unto Felix. Thou art the Man- behold the Furniture! and Felix Trembled". Wardle, fashionably dressed and wearing Hessian boots, stands with clasped hands and flexed knees. He says: "Good People of the United Kingdom suspend your judgement for the present till I get this woman placed in the pillory-I never did any thing naughty with her no more than the child unborn-it was all for the good of my Country I assure you I am as firm a patriot as ever purchased a convex Mirror, or a red turkey Carpet". The heads and shoulders of the proletarian and much amused spectators are closely grouped on the extreme right, with a background of town houses. Behind Mrs. Clarke is a draped dressing-table on which stands a bottle of 'Ratifie' and glasses. The curtains of the bed form a background (left)."--British Museum online catalogue
