A French man stands in profile to the right in front of his upturned chair, his hand on his protruding belly as if in pain, as an older woman sits at the table refilling his tea cup. A young woman stands behind the woman at the table, smiling behind a fan as she looks at the visitor. An older man sits at the table amused at the French man's distress. A dog drinks from a saucer under the table. The party is in evening dress, the curtains drawn, and a chandelier of four gas lamps hangs over the square tea-table laid with the tea service and tray

Description:
Title etched above image. and Below image, five lines of text: A Frenchman not aware of the custom, constantly returned his cup without the spoon in it, which being immediately replenished by thelady of the house, he thought it a point of politeness to drink the contents which he continued to do, to the great surprise of the company until he perceived the lady pouring out the 14th cup, when he rose in great agony and cried, Ah! Madame excuse me I can take no more.

In a courtyard of Christ Church (Oxford), undergraduates in cap and gown dance around a bonfire, fueled by doors, chairs, and tables carried from the surrounding buildings. Other students pull at ropes to drag a statute of Mercury towards the flames. From the windows on either side of the gateway students throw objects including a globe and a chamber pot, while another blows a trumpet. Groups of students dance wildly as they drink and riot

Scene in a crowded room lit by a few guttering candles, 'far exceeding in profligacy and dissipation' anything depicted by R obert Cruikshank in St. Giles. Men and women fight, drink, and smoke. An old soldier fiddles, a woman beats a drum for dancers who are almost hidden but apparently naked. Cruikshank stands on a table, pouring gin from a large tankard inscribed 'R.C' into raised glasses. One prostitute squirts liquid from her mouth at another, a third pulls on her stockings, incidents taken from Hogarth's 'Rake's Progress' (plate iii). 'Blackmantle' watches the fight, smoking a long pipe. On the walls are placards: 'No trust' and 'Pig and Whistle: Rules of the Club." British Museum catalogue
