A scene in which a woman stands, on tiptoe, beneath a large pine tree. She holds a caduceus in her right arm, balances a bowl on her right hip, and with her left hand she points somewhere in the distance. She stands at the forefront of a turbulent body of water, with rocks beneath and a cliff in the background. Above is a partly cloudy sky with the silhouette of a bird high above.
Surrounding the title text are a series of pictures—starting from the top left are the tablets featuring the ten commandments; then a large scallop shell alongside a few other snail shells on a beach; followed by a caduceus in the upper right-hand corner. Below is a drawing depicting Moses amongst the bulrushes.
An image of a man in period clothing, seated in a chair and observing a print. He has a portfolio of additional work between his knees, and additional prints scattered on the floor. To his right is an end table displaying books along with a pen and inkwell. Behind him is a bookshelf filled with large volumes. Above, behind the title text, is another shelf with more books.
A large rooster is in the forefront of a country scene, with the sun rising in the distance. On both vertical borders is a female figure. In the lower right-hand corner is the motto Whilst I Live I'll Crow.
A scene with a frame of leaves and design. Against an azure background a serpent wraps itself around a rosebush. There are other flowers and grasses around it, as well as a bird in the lower right-hand corner. At the center is a small shield with a design.

From the top left the scenes include Warrington Church, Warrington Volunteer 1798, Old Warrington Bridge, Bewsey Hall, Eyres's Warren Press, Warrington in 1783, Warrington Academy, and Cromwell's Lodgings. At center, above the title text, is also a space in which to indicate a book/title number.
