- Abstract:
- "A view of the pavement of Pall Mall seen from the cobbled roadway; it recedes slightly from left to right and is backed by part of the screen and façade of Carlton House, with part of the adjacent house on the extreme left on which is a door-plate inscribed Sherry [Sheridan]. On the pavement are three of the new gas-lamps; a tall post with three globes, one at the summit, flanked by two others on slender curving branches. In each globe is a triple flame. A fashionably dressed young man (left), points with his riding-whip, instructing the lady who holds his arm: The Coals being steam'd produces tar or paint for outside of Houses--the Smoke passing thro' water is deprived of substance and burns as you see. A fat Irishman turns to say to the speaker: Arrah honey if this man [Winsor] bring fire thro water we shall soon have the Thames and the Liffey burnt down--and all the pretty little Herrings & Whales burnt to cinders. A fat countryman (right) gazes up, saying, Wauns what a main pretty light it be. we have nothing like it in our Country. A lank Quaker on tiptoe, standing beside him, says: Aye Friend but it is all Vanity, what is this to the inward light. On the extreme right a flamboyant courtesan with her bare arms in a muff says to a buck who inspects her through his glass: If this light is not put a stop too--we must give up our business We may as well shut up shop. The man answers: True my dear not a dark corner to be got for love or money. There are other passers-by on the pavement, typical Rowlandson characters, one a parson of Dr. Syntax type, cf. British Museum Satires No. 11507."--British Museum online catalogue.

- Abstract:
- "A parson, just arrived at an inn, a grosser Dr. Syntax (see British Museum Satires No. 11507), makes advances to a comely and willing chambermaid, who holds warming-pan, lighted candle, and saddle-bags, and is conducting him to his room. They are at the foot of the staircase. A young military officer on the stairs tipsily directs a stream towards the parson's hat. On the wall behind the latter: 'Fountain Inn-Entertainment for Man and Horse Gentlemen supplied with Fishing Tackle &c &c'. Behind his back (right) an elderly man in a night-shirt looks angrily from a room, holding a lighted candle. In the foreground (right) is a clutter of chamber-pots, bucket, mop, boot-jack, &c."--British Museum online catalogue.

The man, a burly fellow, is followed by his plainly-dressed and anxious wife. He says: "Do you see Doctor my Dame and I become [sic] to ax your advice--we both of us eat well, and drink well, and sleep well--yet still we be somehow queerish". The doctor, holding his cane to his nose, answers: "You eat well--you drink well and you sleep well--very good-- You was perfectly right in coming to me, for depend upon it I will give you something that shall do away all these things".

- Abstract:
- "Scene in a handsomely furnished dining-room, probably in a club. The table is close to the large fireplace (right). The diners, eight elderly men, rise from their chairs to gaze in angry dismay at a calamity caused by a dog who has tripped up a servant in the doorway, making him spill the contents of a dish, while the man immediately behind him lets the contents of a tureen pour out. A third (left), gaping at the accident while drawing the cork of a bottle of 'Spruce Beer', lets the contents squirt at his fellow servants. Two of the 'epicures' grasp knife and fork, two have napkins tucked under the chin, one is in military uniform, two seem to be parsons. The room is pillared, with a handsome moulded ceiling and elaborate hanging candelabrum. On the chimney-piece tankards and goblets flank the squatting figure of a Chinese glutton. Above it is a large mirror in a heavy carved frame. Over the door is a picture of gormandizing monks."--British Museum online catalogue.

- Abstract:
- "Simple-minded people gaze up at placards inviting subscriptions to unsound companies. A high wall runs from a house partly visible on the extreme left, to the street corner, enclosing a large building placarded Hospital for Incurables Supported by Voluntary Subscribers [i.e. for victims of speculation mania]. On the right are old-fashioned houses, one of which is alined with a church, the scene suggesting one of the older parts of the City of London with seventeenth-century houses. The high wall on the left is covered with large bills at which the gullible are gazing: [1] Doctors Company--Capital One Million divided into Shares at -- Pr Share--the Advantages incalculable No Charge for Emetics opening draughts Injections &c-- [signed] Sam Sexton Clerk, [2] Patent Coffins provided on the shortest notice --No Surgeons Admitted--. [3] Genuine Milk Company free from Chalk Poison Water &--. [4] Company of Menders--Open to both Sxes in shares at--pr Share. None to be Admitted but who can give undeniable proofs of mending either their wives or Husbands Neighbours or Friends and lastly but most particularly Themselves. [5] Company of Scavengers Nightman [sic] and all imposters to be sent to the House of Correction. [6] Company of White Washers NB No Lawyers admitted [cf. British Museum Satires Nos. 11269, 11272]. [7] More Advantages-- A New Cabbage and Potatoe Compy Warrented Genuine No cooking required saves time and trouble 5s each Share. [8] Match and Tinder Compy Capital 2 Millions five farthings each Share. [9] Blacking Company. On the opposite side of the wide irregular street is a low-grade barber's shop, with the barber shaving a customer in the doorway. Outside the door his dwarfish assistant sharpens a razor on a grindstone. Above the door is a large tilted board: Tim, Slashem Barber and Perriwig Maker--begs leave to inform the patronizers of Merit--that he means to form a New Company of Mowers of Beards having discovered a New Machine to Shave 60 men in a minute, to comb oil and powder their wigs in the Bargain. NB. Bleeding and Teeth drawn gratis. The striped pole slants forward above the board. At a casement window under the roof a woman is washing; a cat prowls on the tiles. This is a corner-house, its (invisible) side facing Bubble Alley, where the corner-house has a large placard: Peter Puff--Manufacturer of Deal Boards--without Knots from genuine Saw dust &c. At right angles to this is a narrow street receding towards the church. On this are more bills and a projecting lantern: Subscri[bers or ptions] taken in here. Spectators gaze at the bills in the foreground, middle distance, and background. On the left a fat 'cit' and his taller and more fashionable wife walk purposefully; she dangles a reticule, his hand is deep in a pocket, they are clearly deluded subscribers. A yokel and his wife gaze up at the 'Milk Company' advertisement. On the right a countryman on horseback followed by his dog stares up at the barber's notice, as does a bearded Jew carrying a sack (of old clothes)."--British Museum online catalogue.

- Abstract:
- "Scene at the door of a Portsmouth brothel, a corner-house. A handsome young prostitute, elaborately dressed, with curls, feathered hat, and fluttering sash, walks from it, gazing straight before her. Behind her is a fat and hideous bawd, hands on hips, who watches her with calculating malevolence. The bawd wears a watch and seals dangling from her waist; behind her is a doorway inscribed 'Hotel', with an oil-lamp (as in British Museum Satires No. 11454) projecting from the door-post; a bell-pull is inscribed 'Ring the Bell'. Just within the door is a dark lobby lit by a lamp hanging from the ceiling and leading to a second (closed) door in which there is a small grille or judas. On the wall of the house is the inscription 'Portsmouth Dock', and three bills: 'From the Country an Assortment of Fresh Ware'; 'A Tragedy in Rehearsal'; 'Leakes Genuine Pills'. In the background is a humbler establishment, with irregular gabled roof and a porch inscribed 'Lodgings'. A sailor stands looking up at a woman who leans from the window with outstretched arms. Flames and smoke belch from the chimney. Behind it are masts and sails."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.

They are (left to right) Napoleon, wearing a huge bicorne, who looks up to say 'Ships. Colonies and Commerce'. A man in military uniform, quite unlike Alexander, his back to Napoleon, says: "Russian Vengeance attend John Bull. A fat Dutch burgher puffs smoke towards John, saying, III eternally smoke him". A scowling man in civilian dress with tousled hair says: "Let him tremble at the name of America". Prussia, a handsome military officer in place of the damaged soldier who after Tilsit represented Frederick William III in English caricature, says: "Beware of Prussia". A similar officer (Francis I) says: "Austria will never Pardon him". A Spaniard wearing a cocked hat says: "Spanish Fury overtake him". A scowling face says: "Let him beware of Denmark". John says: "Dont make such a riot you little noisy Brats, all your bustle to me is no more than a storm in a Chamber pot"."--British Museum online catalogue.

- "An elderly schoolmaster sits by a writing-table, in profile to the right, addressing an old countrywoman who faces him, making a slight curtsey. Behind her (right) are four little boys, two with bags of books slung from the shoulder. The schoolmaster, who wears night-cap, slippers, and buttoned overcoat or dressing-gown, says: "Good woman you are always making complaints against my Scholars, what have they done to offend you now?" She answers: "Please your Honors Worship they followd me up and down--and said one to another--At her!--beat her! damn her!--pelt her!-- and a great deal more that I do not recollect". The leader of the boys, bowing, cap in hand, says: "Indeed Sir, we were only repeating our Greek Alphabet, in order to get quite perfect--what the Old Woman heard was only Alpha--Beta-- Gamma--Delta--and so on to the conclusion". The boys' expressions indicate a successful conspiracy."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.
