Abstract:
Three figures each with a characteristic beverage stand on a floor with wide boards. On the left a would-be dandy bends in profile to the right, pouring a bottle of (flat) spruce-beer into a tumbler. In the middle a very stout elderly and slightly tipsy 'cit', spectacles on his bottle-nose, holds a glass of port in one hand, and the bottle in the other. On the right a Frenchman (?), throwing his right leg forward with pointed toe and looking round for admiration, holds bottle in one hand, glass in the other; the cork flies up, and the champagne, curving upwards, cascades into the glass, splashing but not foaming

"Three revellers sit at a small round table on which is a large punch-bowl, each holding a full glass. A fat man in an arm-chair (right), full-face, each gouty bandaged leg supported on a stool, his left hand bandaged, and wearing a dressing-gown, with jovially contorted features, declaims the first part of the title. His neighbour, a young woman with her hand clasping her waist, declaims the second part. A wretched invalid (left), with stick-like limbs, looking on the verge of the grave, repeats the last part. The words, inscribed in scrolls, form the only title. They are the words of an old catch which continues: 'And is by all agreed the very best of physic' A patterned carpet, and cast shadows on a plain wall, complete the design."--British Museum online catalogue, description of the print of which this is a copy

Abstract:
"The Knave of Clubs, 'Pam', sits in state in a ramshackle attic, one foot resting regally on a footstool. He is faint-hearted and melancholy and turns to a dapper little man (Sir Walter Stirling) at his right hand, who is supported by the Devil. He says: "I'm going to Hastings give me some Sterling No Tokens." Stirling, who holds an open book and is prompted by the Devil, says: "Let Us Pray," with a cynical smile. The Devil says: "Honestly if you Can?!!--but get Money." A hideous old woman, grotesque and ragged, offers him a glass, saying, "Try if Brandy won't save you." Behind the Devil, and on the extreme left, stands a burlesqued, knock-kneed lawyer, closing one eye in a cynical grimace; he holds a large pen and a paper headed 'The Last Will & Testement [sic] of Pam'. The room has the signs of squalor characteristic of the period: bricks showing through broken plaster, raftered roof, check bed-curtains, a broken chair, with broken jug and plate on the floor. Ragged stockings and a night-cap, &c. hang from a string across the fireplace (right), and on the mantelshelf are a candle in a bottle, a saucepan, medicine-bottle, teapot, and cup. Above it are a gallows broadside, and a print of a seated demon holding a small pair of scales."--British Museum online catalogue

"On the left is a pleasant old-fashioned tavern, 'The Kings Head', with a half length portrait of George IV in crown and robes. Ministers are seen within the open window, Castlereagh's profile on the left. A sturdy John Bull in top-boots stands outside, watching with distaste a disorderly and drunken rabble crowding round the door and (broken) window of the opposite house, the sign 'Mother Red Cap', a half length portrait of Queen Caroline, raddled and disreputable, a tricolour cockade in her conical hat. From the end of the beam supporting the sign hangs a pear (emblem of Bergami, see British Museum Satires No. 13869). The house (right) is a ruinous timber structure, shored up by beams. The crowd have a banner of a woman's shift inscribed 'Un Sun'd Snow NB "The Times" Taken in Here.' A man plays drum and pan-pipes. One man empties a bottle of spirits inscribed 'Queens Mixture' down the throat of a drunken fellow lying on his back. A fat man has a tankard of 'Qu[een's] Entire'. The two inns are respectively placarded 'The Original Brunswick House of Call for Loyalists--Pure Wine--Good Spirits --Sound Ale'; and 'The Brunswick Radical House of Call Italian Wines Bergamy Perry [cf. British Museum Satires No. 13869] No Adulteration! NB Good accomodation for all sorts of Cattle. Whitbread's Entire [cf. British Museum Satires No. 10414]--Small Beer.'

Abstract:
"Design in an irregular oval border to which four scrolls are attached: ‘To the Work House, To the Mad-House, To the Gaol, The Gibbet'. The shop is ornate and pilastered, lit by a double gas chandelier. The customers, dregs of the town, stand at the counter, within the toothed circle of a huge man-trap on the floor. A drunken man in the remnants of fashionable clothes, takes a glass from the barmaid (right). She is outwardly comely, but her fashionable dress, a smiling mask, and gloves, conceal a skeleton, revealed by a skull which grins from her shoulder, and the bones of a foot and ankle. Beside her is a book: ‘Open Gin Shop The Way to Wealth'. An old hag drinks, another gives gin to an infant in her arms; a little girl drains a glass, and a tiny child clamours at the counter. On the counter stands a small cask on which sits a skeleton: Bacchus with bottle and glass. On the left stands Death (who has set the trap), a skeleton dressed as a London watchman; he holds up an hour-glass in place of lantern; he holds a javelin which points ominously to a trap-door in the boards at his feet. He says: ‘I shall have them all dead drunk presently! They have nearly had their last glass'. On the extreme right behind the barmaid is a doorway framing a ring of little demons dancing round a spirit-still; a skull grins from the transparent retort; below the floor is a dark space: ‘Spirit Vaults'. The casks in the shop are coffins. A huge one is ‘Old Tom' [gin, especially if good and strong]. The others are ‘Deady's Cordial' [Deady was a well-known distiller], ‘Kill Devil' [rum, especially if new], ‘Blue Ruin' [bad gin], ‘Gin & Bitters'. On the wall are two placards: [1] a playbill, ‘Drury Lane Theatre, Road to Ruin [cf. British Museum Satires No. 8073] --Life in London [cf. British Museum Satires No. 14320], Devil to Pay' [cf.
