Abstract:
On the coast of France outside a tavern on the coast of France a group of emaciated soldiers are preparing to sail for England. On the right a soldier roasts frogs over a fire on the blade of his sword; above a flag with the words "Vengence et le Bon Bier et Bon Beuf de Angletére." In the center of the design, a monk tests the edge of an axe as he bends to over a horse-drawn sledge laden with instruments of torture, a statue of St. Antony, and a plan for a monastery at Blackfriars. In the distance on the left a line of soldiers are being forced on board a ship. Above them on the cliffs, women are seen ploughing a field. The sign above the tavern advertises Soup meagre and identifies itself as "La Sabot Royal."

The second print in the series "Four Times of the Day" is set outside St Giles's-in-the-Fields. On the right an elegant crowd leaves the French Huguenot church; they are dressed in the height of French fashion. Two women kiss on the far right in the customary French way. They are contrasted with Londoners on the left. The two groups are separated by a gutter down the middle of the road; a dead cat lies in the gutter foreground. The Londoners stand outside a tavern with the sign of the Good Woman (one without a head); a woman and man in the second-story window look surprised as the contents of her bowl are tossed out the window. In the foreground, left, under a sign with John the Baptist's head on a platter and reading "Good Eating", a black man embraces a servant girl and a small boy (evidently intended by his curly red hair to be identified as one of the Irish inhabitants of the area) cries because he has broken a pie-dish. A little girl squats as she eats the fallen pie off the ground. The clock in the steeple in the background reads 12:30.

Copy in reverse of the frontispiece to John Clubbe, 'Physiognomy; scene outside an inn with the sign of 'The Weighing House', with nine men being assessed along a scale of gravity to levity; at left a man by the inn door operates a pulley to raise a magnet from the crossbeam of the inn sign; the men are balanced in a semi-circle from 'A', 'absolute Gravity', standing on his head, to 'I', 'absolute Levity or Stark Fool', in the middle of the air just beneath the magnet; at the centre, horizontally balanced and with nonchalant expression, is E, 'good Sence'.
Alternative Title:
Weighing house
Description:
Title from original as described in Paulson., The degree of Hogarth's involvement in the design is unknown (see Paulson for discussion). Clubbe dedicated the 'Physiognomy' to Hogarth, and the author's son claimed that Hogarth had drawn at least the faces, but that perhaps the rest of the design was by Joshua Kirby, draughtsman and writer on perspective and a mutual friend to Hogarth and Clubbe. The attribution of the engraving to Luke Sullivan is as early as Nichols and Steevens' 'The Genuine Works of William Hogarth' (1808) vol. 1, p. 373., Sheet trimmed to plate mark., Copy in reverse of: Paulson, R. Hogarth's graphic works (3rd ed.), no. 242., Ms. note in pencil in Steevens's hand to right of print: See ibid. [Nicholls] 401., and On page 199 in volume 2.
