- Abstract:
- "The Prince of Wales, Mrs. Fitzherbert (three quarter length figures), and Fox are seated at a rectangular table playing cards. Fox, who is full face, sits behind the table between the Prince (left) and his partner (right). He has taken three tricks, and holds one card above his head, about to play it, looking fixedly at Mrs. Fitzherbert. His other hand is under the table. His opponents hold two cards, and have taken no tricks. The profiles of the Prince and his partner are blank, except for the eyelashes of the concealed eye of each. Fox's features, especially his eyes, are marked and swarthy. Above his head, and between two pilasters which decorate the wall, is a picture of a fox running off with a goose, while a bystander lashes at him with a whip; in the background is a windmill."--British Museum online catalogue and The picture of a fox running off with a goose, while a bystander lashes at him with a whip amplifies the subject; the title is a reference to the song "Black Jack.".

- Abstract:
- A print with two images, the first of which is an amorous young couple, enclosed in a garland of fruits and flowers joined at the bottom by a head of a blindfolded cherub on crossed cornucopias of fruit and coin. The second image can be viewed by turning the print upside-down image and shows an older, quarreling couple enclosed by a garland of entwined leafless branches and supported at the bottom by a horned head of a demon. Six lines of verse describing each scene are engraved on the happy couple's side on two goatskins suspended on either side of the image, and on the unhappy couple's side on a skin of an ass and that of a bear, suspended in similar fashion of the sides. The verse on the happy couple's side begins as follows, "When two fond fools together meet, each look gives joy, each kiss is sweet ..." On the unhappy couple's side the verse begins "The nuptials o'er with angry brow the married pair, both peevish grow ..."
