Scene in a crowded room lit by a few guttering candles, 'far exceeding in profligacy and dissipation' anything depicted by R obert Cruikshank in St. Giles. Men and women fight, drink, and smoke. An old soldier fiddles, a woman beats a drum for dancers who are almost hidden but apparently naked. Cruikshank stands on a table, pouring gin from a large tankard inscribed 'R.C' into raised glasses. One prostitute squirts liquid from her mouth at another, a third pulls on her stockings, incidents taken from Hogarth's 'Rake's Progress' (plate iii). 'Blackmantle' watches the fight, smoking a long pipe. On the walls are placards: 'No trust' and 'Pig and Whistle: Rules of the Club." British Museum catalogue

A dinner party given by the rich and vulgar 'cit'. Liston, seated full-face, is beset by three children, one of whom shows him a print of Paul Pry. The hostess, laughing, points out the impassive Liston to a little boy who stands beside her. A fat nurse holds up an infant in long clothes to see the celebrity, at whom all the company are staring. A laughing footman drops a glass from a salver. Over the laden table hangs an elaborate cut-glass chandelier with many gas-globes. Liston, incensed at being expected to amuse his host's 'uncultivated cubs', retires, ostensibily to arrange his dress for a performance, actually to depart. See British Museum catalogue
