Abstract:
"A stout, complacent-looking man rides a small horse in profile to the left. He has a very bad seat and is pulling hard on the curb; the animal puts down its head. A servant on a rough-looking pony canters behind him, carrying a basket of hay and a triangular box or package (perhaps his master's hat-box) under his left arm. The scene is a country road, with a signpost (left) pointing 'To Hackney, To Isling[ton'], and (down a turning on the right of the riders) to 'Shoredi[tch]'. The post stresses the idea conveyed in the drawing, that this is a citizen riding to or from his country-box in the suburbs."--British Museum online catalogue

Published Feby. 27th, 1799, by J. Harris, Sweetings Alley, Cornhill
In a large, barn-like hall on the street level, at the open door on the right, a man stands outside with a raised staff, denying entrance to two men coming towards him. The hall is spacious, with an arched double door and a skylight window above in the center of the back wall and a tall, hooded chimney over a fireplace on the left. Along the back of the hall two women sit on a bench awaiting an interview. The one on the left has crossed eyes and spots on her forehead and checks, her hands in a muff. Two youths standing behind her smile down on her scornfully. Further to the right sits a poorly dressed black woman with an eager expression on her face. A young woman standing behind her appears to instruct her while pointing to the interview taking place in the foreground. On the left, an old getleman examines a young, buxom maid whom he is holding by the arm. A copy of Harris's list sticks out from his coat pocket. Above the maid is a notice on the wall “To be Lett and enter'd on immediately.” Two other women standing by the fireplace watch the pair intently. In the center of the image, an elderly lady leaning on a cane examines through her quizzing glass a sturdy young man she is interviewing. Above them is notice on the wall “Wanted a Strong Man servant for a Lady to do all Work.” Between them on the ground, sits a little boy with a toy in his hand. Next to them, a large dog lies asleep, with a note next to his muzzle, "A faithful servant wants a place". On the extreme right, a man seated behind a desk with his back to the viewer, gives a young woman a paper signed "To Mrs. Coupler Covent Garden". In bottom right of image is book open with title page partially obscured by trunk on top of it: “Modern Chastity exposed. a Vindic[ation] Hon.” A large lantern is suspended from the ceiling near the fireplace. One of its panes reads, "Cheatall's new Statute Hall every day", another, "A Statute Hall for hiring servants."

Abstract:
A scene from Tristram Shandy in which Susannah stands holdings her nose with her right hand while in her left she holds a candle over the cradle where the swaddled infant Tristram lies with a plaster on his nose. She addressed the doctor with obvious fury, her mouth agape. On the left Dr. Slop raises his left fist at her while in his right he holds a cataplasm in a ladle, ready to fling at her. His hat lies at his feet, and his wig is ablaze. Obadiah stands behind him carrying in his hands a chamber pot and a bowl, a medicine bottle tucked under his arm. The two men stand before a screen. The walls of the room are hung with portraits and a mirror; a grandfather's clock showing the time as 6:15 stands against the wall behind the cradle and Susannah. Two medicine bottles sit on a table partially hidden behind the screen. In the foreground lies an over-turned chair
