A midwife holds out a newborn child, who exhibits a combination its parents' physical traits: the nose of its mother, who lies in bed, and the hook arm, peg leg, glasses and queue of its father, who stands proudly at the foot of the bed. The midwife exclaims, "My good gracious! Hear's [sic] a family likeness for ye. It's Daddy all over with Mammy's nose. Bless it's [sic] little soul. Hey diddle diddle." A fireplace is visible on the right side of the room; a cat claws the bedding and looks up at the child

Abstract:
A young man with a grotesquely long chin sits in a high back chair, kissing a pretty young woman who stands between his legs. Behind him a dog has his paws on the cloth-covered table on which is laid cheese and bread; a cat drinks from a pitcher on the ground. Through the door on the right, a fat older man sits on a stool, smoking his pipe as he looks up at another pretty girl. On the wall hangs his gun and game; above them hangs a bird in a cage

"A fat man (left) seated in an arm-chair, his swathed left leg supported on a stool, his crutches and an open 'Treatise on Gout' beside him.

A footman in livery (right) is about to put a large tureen on a dinner-table (right). A fat man is seen through an open door. A dog and cat lie together in the foreground.

Abstract:
"An untidy shock-headed footman stands letting a tureen slide on to the table so that its contents pour out; in his Ieft hand is a dish containing a leg of mutton, held so that joint and gravy fall to the floor. He stands between a hideous old woman at the head of the table (right) and a comely young one on her right. A fat maidservant follows the footman, holding a dish. Behind the man hangs an elaborately framed bust portrait of a grim-looking man wearing an early eighteenth-century wig. A cockatoo screams from a cage (left). A dog sits behind the old woman's chair, a cat puts its fore-paws on the table to lap the spilt soup. Below the title: 'Take off the largest dishes, and set them on with one hand, to shew the ladies your vigour and strength of back, but always do it between two ladies, that if the dish happens to slip, the soup or sauce may fall on their cloaths, and not daub the floor, by this practice, two of our brethren, my worthy friends, got considerable fortunes. . . . When you carry up a dish of meat, dip your fingers in the sauce, or lick it with your tongue, to try whether it be good, and fit for your masters table - .'
