Above it are the Prince's feathers and motto, and 'Neat Wines'. The figures are three-quarter length. [3] Below (left) is 'Gambling'. A crowd of figures surround a circular gaming-table, half of which fills the foreground. The Duke of York raises a dice-box, next him is a military officer wearing a gorget.

On the wall is the print of a chamber-pot inscribed 'A Jordan' (see BMSat 8057, &c). ..."--British Museum online catalogue.
