- Abstract:
- "Heading to a broadside, printed in three columns: the lengthy speeches (evidently by Woodward) of the two pleaders, 'Snip' and 'Galen Glauber'. A fat citizen, the judge of the court, sits in an armchair on a low dais, a gouty leg resting on a cushion; he holds his nose in pained disgust. On the left a tailor in shirt-sleeves snips his shears angrily at the doctor, who stands (right) hat in hand holding up a pair of breeches on the end of his cane. On the wall (left) are bulky volumes: 'Game Laws', 'Folio XI', 'Vagrant Act', 'Penal Laws', 'Blackton [sic] Vol 2'. The tailor complains that the doctor refuses to pay for the breeches, the doctor answers 'this precipitate Maniac', asserting that the tightness of the waist-band induced a complaint which rendered them 'too foetid for further Use'."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "A young man standing turned slightly to left and with his arms held awkwardly out, wearing a tight white costume including a shirt with short sleeves, a collar worn high enough to cover the ears, a high and wide stock and a frill descending down the chest, also carrying an enormous tricorne hat in his right hand; the text beneath gives a naturalist's description of the 'new discovered animal': 'These trifling insignificant beings generally make their appearance at the theatres about half-price, their aproach is usually made known by a continued opening and shutting of the box doors and an interruption of the performance... It has long been known to the curious, that the cocked hats have been borrowed for the evening... but the high collars, monstrous craws, and clean linen, has, till lately, eluded the vigilance of the box-lobby dissectors; it has, however, recently been proved, that the shirt consist simply of a bib without sleeves, very airy and convenient for an evening's exhibition.'"--British Museum online catalogue
