- Abstract:
- "A boxing encounter; the combatants, wearing waistcoats and gloves, stand facing each other with clenched fists. One (left) says:"I'll Box the Minister about if I get in & tip him Seven the Main". The other (right) says: "Now Mr Alderman I vil Show you vone Jews Blow". Each has a second; on the extreme left a backer sits on a cask inscribed 'Combe's Entire [scored through] Small hopes'; he holds a paper inscribed 'Aldn Combes for ever' and says: "He'll Make a better Boxer than a Parliament Man". On the extreme right the bottle-holder of Combe's opponent stands holding a bottle and a lemon. On the ground are books and papers: 'Brothers Prophecys' (see British Museum Satires No. 8627, &c.); 'Pains Rights of Man' (see British Museum Satires No. 7867, &c.); 'The Whole art of Boxing made Easy'; 'A Petition for Peace on giving up all the West India Islands Corsica [see British Museum Satires No. 8516] Fleet &c &c'; 'King Lord and Commons [erased and replaced by] A New System of Governt on the French Republican Plan'. On the wall (left) is a map (represented by meaningless scrawls) of 'Teritories Conquerd by the Republic of France & Indivesible Equality for Ever'. On the right is a bust portrait of the King in profile to the right, torn at the neck."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "A theatre seen diagonally from the pit, with the stage on the right, two side boxes forming a background. On the stage a man in quasi-classical dress holds a dripping dagger, a woman lies at his feet; through an open door the prompter is seen. The audience is much disturbed: in the foreground a stout citizen holds a smelling-bottle to the nose of his (apparently) fainting young wife; she takes a note from a young man on the bench behind her. Behind stands a bearded Jew. In the stage-box two seated figures resemble the King and Queen, a man standing behind resembles Pitt."--British Museum online catalogue
