"In an ornate foreshortened bed which is the centre of the design, propped against a frilled pillow, is a lady, dismayed at the sight of a grotesque infant which a nurse (right) holds out to her. Her husband (left) is a grotesque dandy, wearing a small top-hat on bunched-out hair, and with a heavy black moustache, and whiskers which meet, projecting from the chin. He inspects the child, looking through an eye-glass in the handle of a riding-switch. The infant is a little replica, heavily bearded, of its father, and holds up a similar switch; it wears a trimmed chemise with spurred boots. The father: Is it possible that I can be the Author of such an Eccentric production. The mother: Oh the little Brute! Who can doubt that when they see the horrid Likeness. The nurse: Brute indeed! why its a perfect angel And the very model of his Pa! Oh who can help Longing to Kiss him. A fashionable interior is indicated."--British Museum online catalogue

Racist caricature lampooning the inept attempt by African Americans to mimic the leisure culture of white high society depicting an African American tea party hosted by "Mr. Ludovico" and "Miss Rosabella." To the far right of the table, "Miss Rosabella" pours steaming hot tea into a cup which tips over and spills onto a startled cat on the floor. To her right, "Mr. Ludovico" attends to the needs of "Miss Araminta" who protests his taking the trouble. Next to them, a disgruntled guest demands "anoder cup" of tea. An African American servant and the other guests, a mother holding her baby and her small son, observe and comment about the spilled tea on the cat and the flirtatious behavior of "Mr. Ludovico."

"An obese, elderly, bottle-nosed man stands in his garden, in profile to the left, his knees flexed, in slippers, ungartered stockings, open waistcoat; he shades his eyes and looks up ecstatically. A cloud of flies buzz round his bald head; a panting spaniel looks up at him. A parrot perches on its open cage. The path is bordered by tulips; many butterflies are in the air."--British Museum online catalogue

"A midshipman, no longer young, in shirtsleeves, sits on a padlocked chest blacking a boot. He looks straight before him with a tragic expression. He wears his regulation top-hat, blue trousers, neatly patched, and waistcoat over a white shirt, and sits on the midshipman's coat which he has taken off. On the ground at his feet are a tray for blacking-brushes, a pot labelled Warrens Blacking 30 Strand, a broken dirk, top-boots, and shoes. Behind are houses on Tower Hill, with the moat. Behind (left) is an alehouse, with a pair of trousers hanging as a sign from a projecting flagstaff. Inset in the title is a group of sextant, telescope, a book: . . . ton More, &c, below the pawnbroker's sign of three balls."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
