Abstract:
"Two sailors carry (right to left) a sedan-chair, in which sits a young prostitute, with one leg out of the front window, as if to kick the bearer, who smokes with closed eye. A third sailor sits tipsily on the roof, smoking; he says: "Come Messmates heave a head". Two sailors wear striped trousers, the third a short petticoat and a large fur cap. Behind (right) is the portico of St. Paul's, Covent Garden, with two men, one a Jew, the other a (?) tipsy parson. On the left. is the corner of the Piazza, the wall inscribed 'Covent Garden'."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"A design with much-burlesqued 'Lilliputian' figures with large heads, as British Museum Satires No. 9635, &c, but grotesquely elongated as in British Museum Satires No. 10604, &c. In the foreground (left) are four card-players at a round table lit by two candles. One man (left) is in military uniform, with a pigtail, trousers and tied shoes; he and his partner (right) are pleased: she says: "I lead trump"; he says: "A charming hand this time however". A man in back view wears an enormous bag-wig, the bag covering the back of his chair; he says: "Worse and worse". His melancholy partner says: "I never held such cards in my Life." Behind the lady on the right stands a footman holding a salver with three tall glasses of wine; he yawns cavernously: "Ya, ha!" In the middle distance (right) an bows to a lady who curtseys; he says: "I never saw your Ladyship look more beautiful will you take cards or dance." She answers: "Neither my Lord at Present." A cut-glass chandelier with four tall candles hangs above their heads. Behind is an ornate archway through which is seen a ball-room with a musicians' gallery and grotesque dancers. On the extreme right is a side-table with decanters, candles, a stand of jelly-glasses."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"A burlesque election scene, most of the figures having large grotesque heads, similar to those in British Museum Satires Nos. 10604, 10663. On the right a corner of the hustings is indicated by a rail behind which stand the candidate and three of his supporters. One of the latter, next the silent candidate, addresses the people below: "I have now Gentlemen the honor to propose to you my friend next me Solomon Sheepface Esqr of Sheepface Hall, you are all well acquainted with his disposition, he is so harmless he would not hurt a Worm, - once elected he will say Aye or No just as the occasion may require." The candidate has an expression of bewildered melancholy. Five men form the audience, one shouts "No Sheepface"; another waves his hat, shouting, "Sheepface for ever Huzza". On the left two men gaze at a large election poster on a wall: 'To the Worthy and Independent Electors of the Borough of Long Heads Gentlemen your Votes and Interest in favor of Solomon Sheepface'. A little boy picks the pocket of one of the gazers. In the middle a ragged ballad-seller bawls to an audience of three boys: 'The same is entitled and called No Bribery, a new Song, to an Old tune.' In the background a crowd is faintly indicated."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Ten Odd Fellows with grotesque faces watch a sailor who stands, arms akimbo, wary and pugnacious. The chairman sits in a raised armchair, smoking and drinking, behind a small table on which are two lighted candles. On the back of his chair are three small but realistic heads, seeming to watch the proceedings. A man in a dressing-gown, introduces the sailor, doffing a night-cap: "Most worthy Chairman Mr Benjamin Block of Wapping Old Stairs - attends to be made a Member of the Ancient and honorable Society." The sailor, who wears round hat, short blue jacket, a petticoat (as in earlier prints), and buckled shoes, says: "Avast my Hearties, - before I've proceeded any further on the voyage let me know what course you are steering - if you mean to frighten a British sailor with your goggle eyes, and queer faces you are d------dly mistaken - besides it appears to me that you have got masks on which is like fighting under false colours, and that wont do for an English Jack Tar!"."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
