- A design within a decorative cartouche, suggestive of a proscenium arch: A well dressed young man stands in the center of a room in the prison in which are five other figures. On the left, a ragged unshaven man in a striped garment is sitting on a bale, a small woman stands beside him. Behind them is a table with a mug on it. On the floor near the man's foot lies a paper inscribed "Sceen [sic] 4. Nation's debts". On the young man's left, another prisoner is sitting on a bench. In front of him is another bench with a carafe of gin and a glass on it. He is the singer of the song. Behind him stands a little boy with a flagon of beer in his left hand. The turnkey in the background holds an open book and is pointing to a page marked "Garnish(?)".
