"One of the landing stairs on the river. A gale is blowing, and the boats are dancing about. The watermen are pulling a skiff to the stairs; at the same moment a breeze is blowing off a parson's wig and hat, and carrying away his fair companion's parasol, bonnet, &c. The landing steps show a succession of diasters, an ascending flight of hats, caps, and wigs, of which the astonished wearers are suddenly denuded."--Grego, J. Rowlandson the caricaturist.

"A fat cook sleeps by the kitchen fire in an arm-chair with her feet high up on the chimney-piece. She holds a glass filled from a bottle of 'Cherry Bounce' at her elbow. Close beside her a comely plump kitchen-maid is also asleep, with her arm round the neck of a negro footman who sleeps on her shoulder. All have beatific smiles. Before the fire a cat sleeps on the back of a dog. Cooking utensils stand on the chimney-piece and hang from the wall; dishes on a dresser complete a crowded interior."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.

Two men walk towards each other, each with a lady hanging to each arm, all have their faces concealed by some part of their dress, hat, or collar, or both.

Another lady sits alone under a tree (left). The men wear knee-breeches. The ladies wear or carry shawls with their trailing dresses; their flat slippers are en cothurne."--British Museum online catalogue.

A bundle of documents lies on the ground (right): 'Meetings of Freeholders Whig Club Speeches'; 'Sinecures Secret Service Money'; 'Pamphets' [sic] 'Civil List Reversions'; 'Bill of Rights'. The wall which forms a background is covered by bills, two pictorial: 'Mr Satirist' with a satyr's head and a scourge, and a 'View of the Tower' [unrecognizable]. The others: 'Monthly Statement of Politics'; 'Statesman Caveo'; 'Examiner a Watchful (eye) [depicted] upon You'; 'Enquiries into the Expedition to Walcheren Quere if not Treason' [see British Museum Satires No. 11530]; 'Morning Chronicle knows no bounds and must be Checked'; 'To the Keeper of Newgate'; 'List of those who Voted in the Minority'; 'Morn Post'; 'Indepent [sic] Wig Society--Speech of the Chairman'; 'Sarjant at Arms'; 'Treasury Bench'; 'Sir Francis Burdett committed to the Tower'; 'Proclamation Privy Council Ministers Present'; 'Coroners Inquest Justifiable Homicide'; 'List of Promotions'; 'Morning Post'; 'Commitment of Jno.
