"[1] "Ignorance is bliss --" Two liveried flunkeys, 'pampered menials', lounge on the doorsteps of a town house, a bloated dog seated between them. One asks his obese companion 'What is Taxes Thomas?!!' Answer: 'I'm sure I don't Know!' Inside the hall a grossly fat porter sleeps in his hooded chair. [2] 'Gentility!--' A little chimney-sweep, decked out in ribbons, and holding brush and shovel, addresses another 'climbing boy': 'vhy I say Jim ar'nt you a gooing out with Jack & the Green?!!' The other: 'No. Master says as how its werry low -- Ve ar all a going to dine with the Masters & Missus's at Vite Condic [White Conduit] House'. For sweeps on May Day cf. No. 6740. [3] 'Brobdignag Bonnet -- Seven people beside the wearer walk under the flat brim of a huge ribbon-trimmed hat. Cf. No. 15618. [4] "Now that, I heard"-- One ragged street lad says to another, at the corner of 'Argyll Street': 'Hallo! Jack vare are you agoing to?' The (ironical) answer: 'Oh! vhy I'm a going to a Consort at the Argyll Rooms!' (Cf. No. 15604.) [5] 'A Jolly Companion'. Bust profile to the right of a man constructed of materials for punch; the shoulders are the broken top of a sugar-loaf; bowl, decanter, two glasses, lemon, lemon-squeezer, and corkscrew make up the head. Cf. No. 11824, &c. [6] 'All a blowing all a growing' (the cry of the London street-sellers of plants). A woman's figure is formed of a hand-bell whose handle, the body, supports an immense hat, the crown covered with flowers; ribbon streamers from brim to shoulders form arms. Cf. No. 15611.†. [7] 'Tooth Powder . A sufferer from tooth-ache, seated on a couch, extracts a tooth by firing a pistol, the bullet attached by a string to the tooth."--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
