- Abstract:
- The fishwives stalls are in the foreground with the masts of ship vessels behind, and among them one tall smoking funnel. The market buildings are on the right. The foreground is more crowded than in other Billingsgate prints. The chief feature is an irate woman seated on an upturned tub beside her stall, berating a lady in a riding-habit who holds a huge fish's head. Beside the latter is another lady, disconcerted. Two liveried servants are amond the crowd. Lady Caroline Lamb and a young marchioness, both 'in disguise', go to the market to hear the traditional language of the fishwives, this Lady Caroline provokes by disparaging a fish. On the left is a fashionably dressed young man, resembling R.C. On the left, a drunken woman sits with her glass raised. From British Museum catalogue

A smartly dressed man swaggers tipsily and jovially along, both arms raised; clutching his arm is a dejected companion in a drunken torpor, fashionably dressed, and wearing a blue cloak lined with red over his evening suit. In the foreground (right) a well-dressed man reclines against a step, drunk and jovial, a battered top-hat on the pavement beside him. An old watchman stoops to lift him up. Behind them a fourth toper is jovially attempting to fight a watchman holding lantern and rattle, while a brother-watchman raises his staff. On the left a fat John Bullish fellow tries to waltz with a pretty little courtesan, while a second girl picks his pocket and holds up in triumph a watch and seals. Both are smartly dressed, wearing big feathered hats. Behind them an old bawd walks along taking by the arm a seedy rake. On the wall are playbills both headed Theatre Royal Covent Garden, [1] Tomorrow Night The Blue Devils [1798] Love's Labour Lost [2] The Road to Ruin [1792, see BM Satires 8074] Fortune's Frolic [1799]."--British Musem online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Three men sit at a table absorbed in an oyster feast, while Richard Martin (M----n), sensing cruelty to oysters, enters, followed by a constable with his staff (left). Papers hang from his pocket: M . . . . s Bill to prevent Cruelty to Animals, and a book projects: Gullivers Travels--A Voyage to . . . Ho[uyhnhnms]. Martin points imperiously to the table, the constable makes a wry face. A lean elderly man (Dr K----r) sits with his back to the door on a piano-stool on which are sheets of music. At his feet is a paper: The Oyster crossed in Love as sung by Messs Sinclair & Gamon at Covent Garden O gentle Swain yr Knife [refrain] Nor Wound a Heart so soft as mine. Dr E----y, wearing tartan, stands over a tub of Natives, opening oysters. The third man's face is concealed. On the table, besides oyster-shells, &c, are a candle burnt low and a large jug of Hot Milk. The walls are covered with shelves. On one set (left), inscribed Larder of Death, are druggist's jars, &c. These include Opium, Oxalic Acid, Calomel, with a box of Gamboge. The other, inscribed Good Living, are laden with food: a pie, a chain of sausages, a sirloin, jar of Cherry Bounce, round of beef, a Scots Haggis, a hare, a bird. There is also (left) a high shelf of books."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "A similar scene to BM Satires 12349, but more calamitous and in a larger cabin. Through the roof-light of the cabin passengers under umbrellas are seen on deck. A sailor stands on a table to hand up a bucket, spilling the contents disastrously, to another who leans through the aperture, dropping a mop on a woman below. Tables tilt violently, upsetting those seated at them. A ham, a sucking-pig, a German sausage, a bottle of wine, &c, slide or crash to the floor. A man holds up a bottle of Spruce [beer], so that its exploding contents strike the face of a falling woman. There are many other incidents. Passengers lie in the two tiers of berths or struggle from them; others sit on lateral benches or sleep on the floor."--British Museum online catalogue
