In the center a man crawls on his hands and knees, blood pouring from both nostrils, his opponent ready to land him another blow. The one young man of the party dances merrily on top of the table flourishing a bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other as the dinnerware scatters in every direction

Abstract:
"The interior of a barber's shop, a ramshackle room with a raftered ceiling. An elderly military officer, seated in the middle of the room between the barber and his wife, causes general dismay; he points to a gash on his cheek and shakes his fist at the barber who flinches back, razor in hand. The barber's wife, bending over the customer with a bowl of soap-suds, is terrified. The assistant, his own hair in curl-papers, trims the hair of a customer (right), holding a bowl on his head. At a table (left) a man washes, stanching his head. Water is supplied from the tap of a bucket on a shelf above the basin. Part of the table serves as dressing-table; on this a monkey sits before the mirror, lathering its head. On a high shelf (right) are wig-boxes and wig-blocks; the latter have inscriptions characterizing their (carved) features, and each having its appropriate wig: 'Clarkes Block', 'Parsons Block', 'Docter's Block', 'Lawyers Block'. On the back wall are a roller-towel and four prints: Absalom hanging from a tree while his horse gallops off, inscribed: 'Oh Absolom My Son My Son--hadst thou Wore a Wig this neer . . .' ; two profile heads, nose to nose, roughly resembling Rowlandson's 'Mock Turtle' [British Museum Satires No. 11639]; a narrow broadside headed by a gibbet, such as were sold in London on execution days; a bewigged caricature head."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The heads and shoulders of three persons fill the design, all studies in teeth, facial expression, and caricature. The profile head of the dentist is close to the fat face of his patient, a woman with a wide smiling mouth, open to show two rows of artificial teeth and gums. He smiles, displaying his own artificial teeth, and holds his patient by the chin. Facing him (right) is a man's head in profile, staring up at the woman through a double lorgnette; his open mouth reveals sparse and irregular teeth, in a grotesque jaw. Above his head is a notice: 'Mineral Teeth Monsier De Charmant from Paris engages to affix from one tooth to a whole set without pain. Mouns D can also affix an artificial Palate or a glass Eye in a manner peculiar to himself. he also distills'."--British Museum online catalogue and "Evidently Dubois de Chémant who introduced porcelain teeth into England (replacing those of bone and ivory) and published 'A Dissertation on Artificial Teeth in general', 1797, 4th ed., 1804.

Abstract:
"A grotesquely obese man (his hat placed under his plump knees) kneels at the feet of an ugly and bedizened woman, fantastically lean and tall. She holds up a fan, and looks down alluringly at her lover to whom she gives her left hand. They are in the circular portico of a 'Mausoleum' (right). In the background is an avenue and a statue of Hercules, towards which a fat woman and a lean parson of the Dr. Syntax type are walking arm-in-arm. The muscular Hercules is contrasted with the four other types of physique represented."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
