- Abstract:
- "A farmer (John Bull) and his family gape in amazement at the arrangements for the Regency fête on 19 June. The narrow table extends across the design receding from left to right, the cloth hanging over the seats of chairs in the foreground. The famous canal decorates the centre of the table with its gold and silver fish, and the table is laid with gold plate, and ornate cut-glass goblets and decanters labelled 'Dry Champain', 'Claret', and 'Burgundy'. There are three-branched gold candelabra. The Prince's chair is on the extreme right; beside it stand a man in livery and an attendant in plain clothes. Behind the chair large ornate gold salvers are arranged on shelves covered with white drapery, as in No. 11729. This was 'a kind of circular buffet . . . lined by festoons and antique draperies of pink and silver' ('Ann. Reg.', 1811, p. 69). The sightseers are on the farther side of the table (left) with their backs to the windows, John in the centre; he says, pointing: "Why Odd Zookers this is marvellous fine indeed. Oh Nan how we should relish a rasher on one of they monstracious beautifull Plates, why now I think I shan't grumble to pay three or four Bank Tokens towards this grand treat - methinks I should Just like a nippikin too." His wife puts out her hands protestingly: "Oh John one of our milk white Chickens roasted by myself by our wood fire would be Luscioscious indeed." His daughter says: "La Feather do zee how they gilded Fishes be stareing at yow." There are three loutish sons; one says: "I say Sue I thinks I should not like that dry Shampain, but a Dobbin of our home brewed in that there gilded gold thing would be dreadfully noice indeed"; another (looking up at the (invisible) ceiling : "Dang it if the top 0 the pleace beant all Eel pottles I'll be hang'd."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "The nurse, a respectable-looking woman wearing a cap and apron, stands in profile to the right beside an open coffin placed on trestles; she rests her left hand on a shrouded protuberance. In her right is a glass filled from a bottle of 'Gin' on a table (left). The coffin lid rests against the wall: 'Gabl Paunch Citizen and Alderman of Gobble Ward Obeit [sic] Novr 10th 1810 Ætat 45 Years'. A plate on the ornate coffin is decorated with a bottle, bird, glass, &c. On a chest of drawers are many medicine-bottles all labelled: 'Opening draught Aldn Paunch'. An alderman's gown hangs on the wall. Torn papers lie beside a chair: 'List of City Feasts for the Year 1810' and 'Swan Hop'. [Upping]. A round bath or tub is on the floor (left). The nurse says: "Ah! all the good things of this world wont save us e'faith!! this belly I warrant you has held as many bottles of wine in it's time as ever a Getter in the City, well poor Mr Alderman Paunch! God rest his Soul! he was a good creature! He never grudged the poor what he didn't love himself. Oh those poor pale lips! where's all the Chickens, and all the Capons, and all the Ducks, and all the turkeys, and all the pullets, and all the fowls, and all the game, and all the hams, and all chines, and all the haunches of Venison, and all the turbot, and all the Salmon, and all the fish, and the beef and the turtle, and the marrow-pudding, and the pies, and the Custards, and all the dainties, it has cost the City so much money for, what will he do poor soul if there's no such good things where he is gone too.""--British Museum online catalogue
