- Abstract:
- Print shows a hideous old maid standing at right before her chair, supported on a crutched stick, as she addresses a comic doctor at left, who faces her, much disconcerted, with his gold-headed cane pressed to his chin. Her dress is antiquated, with high-heeled shoes; one foot is swollen with "Gout", the other with "Chilblains", and is also distorted with "Corns". Her person and costume are covered with the names of diseases in appropriate places: "Lightness" (on a feather nodding from her head), "Head Ache", "Stupor", "Dizziness", "Palsy", "Ague", "Sore Throat", "St Vit. Dance", "Asthma", . etc. Medicine bottles on a table beside her are labelled "Miss Grunt" and "T- Grunt". A little dog, shaved in the French manner, barks at the doctor. The room is a comfortably furnished parlour, with an iron balcony outside a window reaching to the floor, with a background of trees

- Abstract:
- "Thomas Coke of Norfolk leads his bride through a pastoral landscape; he prances gaily along hat in hand, turning to look at her, and singing, Oh the Days when I was Young; in his left hand is a book: Coke upon Littleton [see British Museum Satires No. 14423]. She takes his left arm, holding back the gauze veil that floats from a bonnet trimmed with flowers and towering feathers. Her tight-waisted pelisse has a deep crimson border. She is gravely demure, but sings: Of all the Gay Lads that Dance on the Green, Old Tommys the Lad for Me. He looks younger than 67, she older than 18. Behind them (right) is a country church, before them a signpost pointing To the Breeding Park and To the Nursery. An old ram branded C approaches a sheep; a French greyhound prances towards a decrepit and shaggy dog."--British Museum online catalogue
