Abstract:
"A fair-ground surrounded by roughly made tents, one placarded 'Brown Stout'. A rustic inn is on the right and on the left a platform on which a zany postures invitingly before a curtain. In the foreground a gouty and elderly man addresses a demurely meretricious country girl who holds a basket of eggs and a rose. He stoops towards her, saying, "My pretty dear--what do you ask for your Article? I am rather near sighted--but I'll give you half a Crown for it at a venture". She answers: "Dear! Sir!--I wonder you should think of such a thing--though mine is but a perishable Commodity,--it shall not go at that price I assure you". At her feet is a broken egg. Yokels gaze up at a booth (right): 'Jobson's Grand display of Magical Deceptions Sligh ...' A man in a smock, on horseback, drinks deep at the inn, beside the stout innkeeper."--British Museum online catalogue

"A Pic Nic: A curate, his wife, and four children gnaw bare bones at a table covered with a ragged cloth, on which are a loaf and an almost empty dish. The wife rocks an infant's cradle; washing hangs on a cord across the fireplace. A wall-clock points to 12.45. On the sill of the casement-window is a flowering plant. The curate's hat, cudgel, and gloves are on a table. A starving cat and dog face each other angrily. A contrast to British Museum Satires No. 14756. Below: 'On meagre fare the humble Curate's fed; 'Severe his labour--dearly earned his bread. 'Tho all the duty on his shoulders fall 'A paltry Thirty Pounds a Year his all.'"--British Museum online catalogue, "A Tuck Out: A dinner-table scene, with three liveried footmen, is watched by a bloated dog and fat cat. One fat parson (right) carves a sucking-pig; his wife (opposite) carves a bird. The other diners are a second parson, a youngish woman, and a loutish youth. On the wall a picture of 'Balthezar's [sic] Feast': the revellers see the writing on the wall. Below: 'But see the bloated Vicars gaudy state, 'Profusion surfiets, pamper'd menials wait; 'Preaches Humility, his practice pride 'Lived like an Infidel, and so he died.' A favourite theme, cf. British Museum Satires Nos. 6153-4, &c., 14568."--British Museum online catalogue, "A Gorge: Seven foxhunters tipsily drink a toast, two standing by their chairs. A hare and other dishes are on the table. Two liveried servants wait. On the wall is a picture of a mounted huntsman with hounds. Antlers serve as pegs for two hunting-caps; a third with a fox's brush hangs beside it. Below: 'See l'Esquire seated, at the festive board, 'His Tenants squeez'd to satiate their lord, 'Who squanders all in riot and excess, 'His Family leaves in Want and deep distress.'"--British Museum online catalogue, and "A Burster: Three aldermen in furred gowns sit at a round table, knife and fork in hand, food speared on fork, but all waiting avidly for the dishes that four footmen bring in: a large tureen, (?) birds, a hare, a turkey, and sausages. Decanters stand in a wine-cooler, a sideboard is covered with plate. There is a picture of an inflated frog looking at an ox. Below: 'A greasy chin the Aldermans delight 'Their stomachs quite prepaid since yesternight 'Anticipating, Turtle, Venison, Jellies, 'To Cram, to Gorge nay e'en to burst their Bellies.' Cf. British Museum Satires No. 14690."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Scene in a dormitory in which curtained four-post beds are ranged on each side of the room receding in perspective. Three school-mistresses encourage resistance to a police-officer with a warrant. The pupils are mature young women in plain décolletée nightgowns with short sleeves, and closely fitting caps. The governesses are distinguished by more elaborate caps, and one, 'Mademoiselle', wears a frilled dressing-jacket. She scratches the officer's face, saying, "Ah you come for de Arms! I give you de Hands and de Nails in de bargain you great big Villaine." He holds a constable's staff and a warrant ending '. . . shall be your Warrant,' but makes no resistance; on the ground are his hat and the Information: 'To Peter Pry Police Officer, you will find several pairs of Arms conceald under the bed cloaths every night at Mrs Bounces boarding school in Gunpowder lane.' He shouts: "Murder! I am come to search for Arms! I was informed you had some concealed under the bed cloaths every night, look at my warrant!" He is assailed from behind by a strapping governess holding a candle and a large poker. She stands just inside the open door (left), kicking him, and says: "He shall have Arms, Legs and the poker too, I had just got into my first sleep." Another woman, probably Mrs. Bounce, runs up from the right holding up a candle. She exclaims: "Thats right Mademoiselle Mark him well that we may know him again by day light." The officer has two assistants; one, attempting to search a bed, receives in the face the contents of a chamber-pot from a girl kneeling on the bed; she says: "There some eye water to make you see clear." The third ransacks a trunk in the right foreground; its arched top is marked in nails 'J. Manlo[ve]'. He has thrown out two books: 'Aristotle Ma[sterpiece]' and 'Juvenile Indiscretions a Novel in 4 Vols.' and holds up 'Ovids Art of Love'. The owner grasps his short pigtail and raises a slipper to smite, saying, "I'll teach you to ransack my trunk in this manner you impudent fellow let my books of instruction alone." He answers: "Indeed Miss I won't take one away I would rather help to explain them!" Two pupils say: "Oh dear he is takeing Miss Manlove's pretty books, that she read of a Night to us," and "I'll tear his eyes out if he comes to my box." A stout girl runs forward from the right with raised arms and crisped fingers, saying, "Governess I can scratch rarely let me help you"."--British Museum online catalogue
