"A stout lady wearing a tartan scarf supports the Prince of Wales, who is tipsily waving a lighted (and broken) candle, towards the open door of a bedroom (right). He is dishevelled, with ungartered stockings; his left arm is round the lady's neck. She holds a full wine-glass whose contents are spilling. Behind the Prince's back she snaps her ringers derisively at Lady Jersey, who enters (left), in under-garments and night-cap, saying, "I'll discover the Correspondence in Revenge". The scene is a small ante-room between two bedrooms; in it are a table with bottles and glasses at which is an arm-chair. Behind Lady Jersey (left) is a bed over which is a coronet with the letter 'J', in the other room (right) there is a coronet with the letter 'G' above the bed. Lord Jersey's head and shoulders project from under his wife's bed; he looks towards her, saying, "Upon my Honor I don't think he uses us well after giving me all this trouble for nothing!!" On the wall behind the chair is a circular scrawl indicating a picture inscribed 'D. Manchester'."--British Museum online catalogue

"Two lovers embrace within a small shed inscribed 'Strong Box' supported on a pole; a tailor with huge shears is about to cut the pole, saying, "I'll upset the basket". The open doors of the shed are 'Modesty' and 'Chastity'. Behind is sketched an equestrian statue with a railing, indicating a London square. On the right is a room, flanked on the left by a high folding screen on which are bills with the titles of chap-books or songs relating to tailors, the uppermost being 'The Brighton Taylor' (see BMSat 6942, &c). In the room five men with horns sprouting from their heads approach a (?) lawyer sitting at a writing-table, who says, "Say & seal, I say said & sealed". One stands on a three-legged stool, two legs of which have been replaced by moneybags, each inscribed '£2,500'. He says: "Joys that none but a married man can know - would that there was a Taylor here to measure them, but it would cost five thousand - " [Other inscriptions have not been transcribed.] An old man with a crutch looks round the screen at the lovers, saying, "D------d good Trade Ill go & get married too."--British Museum online catalogue
