"Two designs placed side by side, the title so arranged that 'The Contrast' applies to both, the first four and last two words to the two designs respectively. [1] A scene outside Jaffa where the French flag flies from a fort on a rock at whose base are hospital tents (left), in which the sick can be seen. In the foreground Napoleon (a poor portrait) points with an imperious gesture to a bottle of 'Opium' in the hand of a distressed doctor in civilian dress. He says: "Don't talk to me of Humanity & the feelings of a generous heart, I say Poison those Sick dogs they are a burthen to me, & can no longer fight my Battles!!! I say destroy them - As for those Turks, them up in the Garrison, turn all the Guns upon them, Men, Women, & Children & blow them to atoms, they are too bold & resolute for me to suffer them to live, they are in my Way." In the middle distance (left) is a body of Turks, their arms tied behind them, guarded by a French soldier who points at Napoleon. Behind Napoleon two French officers exchange glances, acutely dismayed at the orders." ... [2] Two black soldiers, in neat regimentals, prepare to kill three haggard French officers. One raises an axe to smite a bound prisoner. Two British officers (left) interpose with outstretched arms; one says: "We know they are our Enemies, & yours, & the Enemies of all Mankind, nevertheless Humanity is so strongly planted in the Breast of an Englisman [sic], that he can become an humble beggar, for the lives, even of his enemies, when they are subdued." The other adds: "A mercy unexpected, undeserved surprises more."--British Museum online catalogue

"Scene in the kitchen of a large London house, area railings being just visible through a high barred window (left).

The doctor: "Yes my good friend I see you are hard at it, and I never can quit the house of my rich patients without shaking hands with the cook.

"Bedroom scene: an invalid in a dressing-gown sits smiling in an arm-chair, while a fat yawning doctor, 'Quiet', puts a night-cap on his head. On the right 'Merryman', dressed as a zany or clown, with a gridiron painted on the back of his striped tunic, kicks Death towards the door (right), and presses his cap like an extinguisher against its grinning skull; he says: "Be Off! Be Off! you have no chance where Diet Merryman and Quiet practice!" Death answers: "Then my first job must be to quiet you and your partners will soon follow." Quiet: "Come now for a little quiet; Merrymans dose has opperated suficiently!" The patient holds a 'merrythought'. A fat cook, 'Diet', stands on the left inspecting a dish of bare chicken bones; he says, grinning broadly: "He'll do! Pick'd the bones clean! We shall beat the Charlotte Street Medical Board hollow!" A dinner-table, with an empty plate, a decanter of 'Madiera' and a loaf, is on the left, and behind it a large canopied bed. The chimneypiece (right), is covered with medicine-bottles. The floor is boarded. On it lie two piles of 'Carricatures', evidently the 'Caricature Magazine', on which the imprint is inscribed. There are also books lettered 'Jests'.

"Mrs. Billington, enormously fat, sits in an arm-chair, her arms flung over its arms, opening her mouth for a spoonful of guineas, administered by W. T. Lewis (right), who bends over her. On her other side stands Sheridan, round-shouldered, stooping, and agitated. He holds out a money-bag, saying, "O Dear O Dear - if the dear Creature has lost her Notes - what will become of us - my dear friend spare no Cost to make up the deficiency, give her another spoonfull, I have plenty more in the bag - all the true Pizarro-coinage." Lewis, smiling, answers: "Dont be alarmed she takes the Boluses very kindly - and I have every reason to hope a speedy recovery." Mrs. Billington is dressed as Clara, in quasi-Spanish costume, almost as in British Museum Satires No. 9914; a checked scarf lies across her lap. On the right are two amoretti; one stands looking up at the other, who flies above his head holding out a scroll; both hold handkerchiefs to their eyes; the one below has butterfly wings and a wreath of roses, the other has feathered wings. The scroll: 'Mourn Cherubims and Seraphims Clara's Notes are Stopp'd - Copy of a Letter - Dear Sir, It grieves me to the heart that I am not able to play this evening - my Throat being so closed as not to leave me a single Note in my Voice" [see British Museum Satires No. 9970]."--British Museum online catalogue
