Engraving of William Hogarth’s 1748 painting ‘O the Roast Beef of Old England’ (London, Tate Britain), which he had himself published as a print. The scene is set at the Gate of Calais (after the painting in the Tate Gallery) with a fat monk prodding a large sirloin of beef carried by a cook, on either side are two French soldiers, one of whom spills his bowl of thin soup as he gazes in amazement at the beef; on the left, three market women with crosses hanging from their necks admire a skate in a basket of fish; on the right, two ragged men carry a large pot of soup while another drinks from a bowl, and a Scottish soldier cowers beneath an archway; in the middle distance, to left, Hogarth himself is seen sketching at the moment when a soldier’s hand takes him by the shoulder; beyond, through the gate, is a religious procession

"Satire on the Stamp Tax of 1765 showing Britannia presenting "Pandoras Box" (the tax) to America (represented by a native American) who appeals to Minerva; the goodess advises "Take it not" pointing to Liberty prostrate on the ground and attacked by a snake and a thistle. Mercury (standing for Trade) turns to America saying, "It is with Reluctance I leave ye" as he moves towards the king of France who, in turn, offers a purse of money to an irradiated boot (Lord Bute). Above a zephyr blows forcefully towards the tree of Liberty beside which stands a man saying "Heaven grant it may stand" beside whom a crown and sceptre lie on the ground. In the background, sailors stand on a shore beside three ships one with a broom at its masthead indicating that it is for sale; one points towards a gibbet labelled, "Fit Entertainment for St[am]p M[e]n"; a group of men beside the gibbet, identified by Stephens as Stamp Men or excisemen, complain, "We shall all Starve", "By G[o]d I'll rob first!, "Ay, ay, necessity has no Law"."--British Museum online catalogue

A group of ladies sit in highback chairs around a circular table, drinking tea and gossiping. On the table in front of the lady on the right, lays a book open to pages which read "Chit-Chat"; her lap dog sits looking up at her eagerly while a demon hides under the table at her feet. The ladies sit in a well-appointed parlor decorated with a rug, an elaborate mirror, and curtains. Above the fireplace hangs a picture of a clergyman carrying a woman on his back to church. To the left Envy chases Truth and Justice out the open door. On the right two gentlemen peer into the room through an open window and listen to the ladies' conversation.
