"An imitation of British Museum Satires No. 8913, by Woodward. A fat parson sits drinking beside a small round table. His face is fiery and carbuncled. He wears gown and bands, with unbuttoned waistcoast, and ungartered stocking; his wig is back to front. Opposite him, on a round stool sits Care, a naked man, grotesque, aged, emaciated, with a scraggy beard and long grey hair, and talons on hands and feet; he registers gloomy terror. The parson, with a contemptuous smile, snaps his fingers at Care. On the table are decanter, pipe, tobacco-box, and lemon. On the wall (left) is a 'List of the Tythes for the Parish of Guttledown'. A patterned carpet completes the design. An illustration of the song (illustrated also by R. Cruikshank in 'The Universal Songster', ii, 1826, page 129)."--British Museum online catalogue

Waterton (right) sits erect and composed astride a Cayman (South American alligator) holdings its forelegs twisted backwards as a bridle. He is barefooted, wearing white shirt and trousers, with a knife in his belt. Four Indians and three black enslaved men haul at the rope attached to the bait which the creature has swallowed. Behind is the river with a long canoe lying against the shore. On the opposite bank are dense trees, some with hammocks slung between them. See British Museum online catalogue

Depiction of the dream of Horace Walpole that inspired him to write The castle of Otranto. The fantastic scene involves a large armored hand perched atop an enormous staircase ascending four levels within a Gothic castle. Two suits of armor stand guard at the junctions of the staircase with each level, and two more are present in the foreground, suggesting that the staircase continues downward. Arched windows and a painting of a mounted knight are seen on the wall to the left of the staircase; a bat is seen flying above
