"A ship, apparently bearing 'Aeneas' (George II) is tossed on a stormy sea. On the shore at right, 'Dido' (the figure of Britannia), points and smiles, above the inscription, "She, while [the] outragious winds [the] deep deform, Smiles on [the] tumult, & enjoys [the] storm". In the sea Neptune near the shore looks at the ship in displeasure. Above in the sky are three Winds, as three young boys, one blowing, one farting, the last kicking a hat."--British Museum online catalogue

"Piracy of plate IV of Hogarth's Rake's Progress with considerable differences: a scene in St James's Street with the Rake (here named Ramble) emerging from a sedan-chair to be arrested for debt; figures in the foreground include a Welshman, probably the creditor, honouring St David's day (March 1st) with a leek in his hat, "Nanny" offering a handful of money to reprieve her former lover, and a lamp-lighter carelessly spilling oil on the Rake's coat; in the distance to left, a group of street-boys point to "Taffy", a mannikin, perched on a lamp-post, and beyond the gate of St James's Palace."--British Museum online catalogue

Copy in reverse of the first state of Plate 5 of Hogarth's 'The Rake's Progress' (Paulson 136): Tom and a wealthy old woman are being married in the dilapidated church of St. Marylebone. The bride has only one eye and growths on her forehead; the IHS on the wall behind her serve as a mock halo. In contrast the old woman is attended by a beautiful young woman who has already caught Tom's eye. In the background on the left, the elderly pew opener pushes Sarah Young, carrying Tom's child in her arms, and Sarah's mother; she shakes her keys in their faces to prevent them from entering the church to stop the marriage. Two dogs in the lower left of the image mirror the courtship of Tom and his bride; the courted dog has only one eye. The clergyman is assisted at the altar by a clerk, and a charity-boy kneels at the bride's feet offering a hassock. The Poor Box on the left is covered with a cobweb; there is a crack down the center of the slab with the Commandments on the wall behind the clergyman

"Copy in reverse of the first state of Plate 4 of Hogarth's 'The Rake's Progress' (Paulson 135): In this scene two baliffs, one with an arrest notice in his hand, have stopped Tom Rakewell's sedan chair in St. James's Street; Tom is presumably on his way to White's gaming house which can be seen in the background. They are foiled in their attempt to arrest Tom for debt as Sarah Young, the young woman whom he had seduced and abandoned, offers the bailiffs her purse instead. Sarah is now a dealer in millinery as is suggested by the notions falling from her purse. In the right foreground a shoe-black apparently taking advantage of the situation to take hold of Tom's elegant walking stick. Above them a careless lamplighter spills some oil on Tom's head. To the left a Welshman, probably the creditor, honouring St David's day (March 1st) with a leek in his hat, accompanied by his manicured dog, simply watches the scene. In the distance is the gate of St James's Palace with a crowd of sedan-chairs approaching to celebrate the birthday of Queen Caroline."--British Museum online catalogue, from an earlier issue
