"A companion plate to British Museum Satires No. 11924 by Rowlandson, with the same imprint. Lord Petersham stands full-face, as if on a flight of steps, the right foot advanced below the left, right hand on hip, holding a long cane, his hat in his left hand. He looks to the left, with a pleasing smile (for which he was noted). He has large whiskers, and wears a (brown) double-breasted tail-coat with high collar and sleeves gathered at the shoulders to form a peak, in the manner of a Jean de Bry coat, see British Museum Satires No. 9425, with long close-fitting breeches and spurred Hessian boots with large tassels."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Two men sit in a dilapidated room, the floor completely covered by water in which three pigs wade, ducks swim and dive, and geese run aggressively towards a dog. Their feet rest on boulders. One stout man in a broken chair sits with his elbows on a small round table, holding up a large watch, the hands showing that it is 9.40, and yawning deeply. On the table are a decanter containing a tiny 'blue devil', cf. British Museum Satires No. 8745, and a guttering candle stuck in a potato at which a rat is nibbling. Another rat runs up the table leg. The other man (right), with closed eyes, and hands on knees, sits on a stool, registering melancholy resignation. One pig (left) devours a 'Racing Calendar' which floats on the water. A fire of sticks burns smokily on a wide hearth; a large pot is overturning, the contents gushing over. Above the chimney-piece hangs a picture in a broken frame of a country house. There is one small casement window, half boarded up, the other half partly stuffed up with a pair of breeches. A ham and a hare hang from hooks in the ceiling. High up on the wall is a small shelf on which is broken china; a cat stands on it."--British Museum online catalogue.
