"Satire on village life. A country fair in which three young women are running for the prize of a smock; the third in line has tripped over a dog and is being helped up by a man. In the foreground, left to right: a young couple embrace beneath two trees hung with drapery; a small girl fills a mug of beer from a cask on which leans the village constable, asleep, with an empty mug in his lap; a small girl beside him holds a book lettered, "Compleat Peace Off[ice]r."; a dog steals food from a plate discarded on the ground; an old man stands on tip-toe holding his eye-glass to read a notice lettered, "To be Run for by Men in Sacks, A Flitch of Bacon on Tuesday next" which is pinned to one of the trees; a sailor sits on a branch of the tree holding up the hem of the prize smock which hangs on a pole at either end of which is a three-cornered hat; another sailor lounges on the ground looking at the runing women, a large jug near his foot; a chimney boy grabs a gingerbread crown from a boy who is holding a donkey by a chain; a small girl holds a younger child who waves another gingerbread crown while a dog jumps up to reach it. Behind the area roped off for the race is a crowd of spectators and a farm cart which a woman climbs into with the help of two men and another woman already in the cart; a man with a cockade in his hat waves a small flag on a pole, perhaps indicating the start of the race; a larger flag with a cross flies behind; other villagers are gathered in and around a makeshift tent; a one-horse carriage driven by a woman and carrying a gentleman comes into the scene from the right; behind the carriage two men are fencing. Women watch from upper windows of a large house in the background; on its walls are two bird-bottles and a dove-cote which a cat is eyeing with interest from a window sill; beyond is a windmill."--British Museum online catalogue

"An etching of Hogarth seated at a table, holding in one hand a port-crayon, in the other his print of "John Wilkes E", to which satire this is a rejoinder. Tied to Hogarth's right elbow, as if it were an impediment or guide in the use of his skill, is a bag marked "300£ per ann for distorting features"; he has a pug nose, and an impudent, hard look; his feet are cloven like a satyr's; one of his legs is that of a satyr, and it tramples on the cap and spear of Liberty. His dog 'Trump' squats under the table, on which is a paint-pot containing "Colours to blacken fair carachters [sic]". A palette and sheaf of brushes hang off the collar of the Hogarth's dog; on the palette is the "Line of Beauty". The bag refers to Hogarth's appointment as Serjeant-Painter to the King. Behind Hogarth, an ape appears in the act of drawing or measuring a "Line of Beauty" on a canvas set on an easel. Likewise behind on the left, an ugly, skeletal, old, one-eyed woman in a fontange, her lean bust much exposed, holds a mirror and a fan. The woman may be a reference to Mrs. Hogarth.

Two flags are carried, one "Lewes & Freedom", the other, "No Ministerial Influence", in reference to Lewes' speech on his election on 29 Sept. Two of the men are playing flutes, a third blows a horn. The figures are probably portraits; two are butchers wearing aprons, their steels hanging from their waists; beside one of them walks a muzzled dog with a collar inscribed "Liberty"; this butcher is eating as he walks. One man drinks a glass of wine, holding a lump of food in his left hand. One with a swathed and gouty leg walks on crutches. All have election favours in their hats, these are inscribed respectively "Lewes for ever"; "Sr Watkin for ever"; "Freedom"; "Lewes"; "No Bribery"; "Lewes"; "No Corruption". In the hat of the butcher with the dog is "Freedom's my plan Sr Watkin is the Man".

"The King and Queen (left), seated under a canopy decorated with a crown and the royal arms, listen enraptured to a concert; the performers are arranged in a pyramid on the right. Numbers on the figures refer to notes engraved beneath the design. George III leans back, his hands clasped, eyes turned ecstatically upwards; he wears a laurel wreath and his head is surrounded by a star-shaped halo. The Queen sits upright with an eager expression, beating time; her hair and scraggy neck are covered with jewels (cf. BMSat 6978, &c). On the extreme left, and on the King's right, stands Pitt, very erect, a rattle in his right hand, blowing a whistle attached to a child's coral and bells. Behind the Queen are two ladies: '4', lean and ugly, holds an ear-trumpet to her ear; ['5'], who is stout, holds a parakeet on her finger. This group is: '1 Mr P------t'. '2 K------'. '3 Q------'. '4 Mad. Schw---gh--n' [Schwellenberg]. '5 Miss Jeff-----s' [Elizabeth Jefferyes or Jeffries, a Maid of Honour]. The royal party are on a circular carpet. On the roof of the canopy sits a demon holding up a purse in each hand, emblem of the supposed avarice of the King and Queen, a favourite subject with Gillray, cf. BMSat 7166, and see BMSat 7836, &c. Three demon hounds, inscribed 'G. R. Windsor', chase a realistically drawn fox (Fox), to whose tail is tied (by a ribbon inscribed 'Coalition') a pot with the features of North. The performers are arranged behind a low semicircular barrier. A stout man with a goat's head is asleep on the left, his hands clasped on his breast; from his pocket protrudes a paper inscribed 'Road to Wynnstay' (cf. BMSat 7068, &c). He is '6 Sr W. W. W-----ne' [Williams-Wynn], one of the founders of 'The Concert of Antient Music'. A demon child and an infant with butterfly-wings sit together on the barrier, singing from one book. A braying ass holding a book is '7 Mr Assb-----ge' (Ashbridge, a celebrated kettle-drummer). A bird of prey (? an owl) wearing a large cap stands on the barrier, a piece of music under its claws inscribed 'Anointed Solomon, King over all, E------'. She is '8 Mad. Mara.' Next '7' is seated a large ox supporting a music-book on his hoofs. He is 'J------h B--tes' (Joah Bates, originator (1776) and conductor of 'The Concert of Antient Music'). In the second row of performers (right to left) is a group (behind '7' and '8') of three fishwives: '10, D------ R------d'. the Duke of Richmond, with a basket of fish on his head, arms akimbo, is scolding '11, M-----s La--sd--e' (Marquis Lansdowne), while '12, Col. B--r-' (Barré), his eyes closed, joins in the dispute. An allusion to the altercation in the House of Lords over Richmond's proposed fortifications (see BMSat 7149 etc.). Next, realistically drawn, is '13 Sir J. M--why' (Mawbey), holding under his arm a squeaking pig whose tail he is twisting as if it were a musical instrument. Mawbey, as a distiller, was famous for keeping large quantities of hogs, see BMSats 5746, 7506, &c. Two lawyers sing from the same music; they are '14 Atty Genl' (Arden) and '15 Sollr Genl' (Macdonald). Behind their heads, and towards the apex of the pyramid, stand two judges facing each other, each holding a chimney-sweep's shovel and brush which they strike together in the manner of chimney-sweeps on May Day. They are '16. D--n--as' (Dundas) and '17. Ld L--ghb--gh' (Loughborough). The former's shovel is decorated with a thistle, the latter's with a man hanging from a gibbet, with the date '1745' and 'Kenn Com' in allusion to the Jacobites executed on Kennington Common, one of whom was Sir John Wedderburn. The apex of the pyramid is '18. Ch--n--ll--r', Thurlow, standing with a fierce expression; he holds up a pair of birch-rods above the bare posteriors of two terrified boys who serve as kettle-drums. Two squalling and fighting cats hang from the ceiling by ribbons attached to their tails. Beneath the design is engraved: '------Monarchs, who with Rapture wild, Hear their own Praise with Mouths of gaping Wonder, And control each Crotchet of the Birth-day Thunder. Peter Pindar.' The satire illustrates this and other passages from 'Ode upon Ode', which attack Pitt for obsequiousness to the King, and the King and Queen for their parsimony in attending the Concerts of Antient Music as subscribers instead of having concerts at their palace: '- Monarchs, who with oeconomic Fury Force all the tuneful World to Tot'n'am Lane.' Mawbey is mentioned: 'Strains! that Sir Joseph Mawbey deem'd divine, Sweet as the Quavers of his fattest Swine.' Wynn also: 'The sleek Welsh Deity who Music knows- The Alexander of the Tot'n'am Troops.' Richmond is mentioned: 'Mad as his Military Grace For fortifying ev'ry Place . . .' The cats: 'How like the Notes of Cats, a vocal Pair.'"--British Museum online catalogue

Two newly arrived Frenchmen meet on the pavement outside the door of the White Bear (Piccadilly). Their speech and appearance amuse two girls who have just passed (left), and a stable-boy and coachman (right) and the fact that a dog is urinating on the boot of the tall man on the left who is unaware of this action. They wear supposedly English dress: breeches and boots, top-hats with small high crowns, reversing the shape of the prevailing bell-shaped topper (cf. BM Satires 14438). One (right) wears a multi-caped coat (carrick, see BM Satires 12375) and carries its skirts looped over his arm; against his shoulder he holds a huge (furled) umbrella. Their words are below the title: "Gode a Morning Sare, did it rain tow Marrow?--"Yase it vas"--. Above the door is a carved polar bear. In the window (left) above a green blind appear a tureen, bottle, &c.; placards hang against the panes offering Hashed Tongue, Soup Meagre, Hotch Potch, and Mock [Turtle].

A young woman under an enormous heart-shaped coiffure. In the topmost section of her hair is a kitchen fireplace with meat roasting on a spit, and a monkey in a fool's cap sitting on the chimney admiring itself in a mirror. On either side of the hair are kitchen implements, poker, tongs and shovel, a mop, broom, etc., and, in the center, a large wheel of cheese infested by mice. Various vegetables are assembled around the cheese, while a dog and cat confront one another below it.

Abstract:
"A game of billiards is being played on a table, one corner of which only is visible, so curiously elongated that it gives the impression of a triangular table. The two players stand by the corner of the table, the one who is about to make a stroke appears from his leanness, frogged coat, and long pigtail queue to be a Frenchman; he leans over the table in profile to the left, wearing pince-nez. His opponent watches him, standing on top-toe, his cue held over his left shoulder, his face screwed up in anxiety; he wears a bag-wig. A number of spectators look on with expressions of amusement or concern: on the right two men stand together grinning; on the left a man watches open-mouthed; behind the table a man watches with an expression of alarm, another takes cover behind him with a grin; a small boy stands beside them. In the foreground are two dogs, one, a greyhound, stands between the player's legs. On the wall behind the table is a rack of cues and two clock-faced scoring boards both pointing to the figure X. On the right is a door, on the left a small casement window. Pictures and prints decorate the wall (left to right): a print of Wilkes (bust) with two caps of liberty; a print of a nymph and satyr; a print of a man seated, three quarter length; a print of a man and woman whole-length; two framed landscapes."--British Museum online catalogue

"One of a set of eight plates, No. 7 (not mentioned by Grego) being missing, all having the same signatures. They may have been intended to burlesque Wheatley's 'Cries' (1793-7), from which they appear to derive. [The subjects are different from those of Wheatley, and there is no element of copying, but the group, with sentimental or humorous incident and architectural background, was Wheatley's innovation on the traditional single figure representing the 'Cries of London'. Cf. W. Roberts, 'The Cries of London', 1934, p. 12.] A ragged man, with traps of various patterns slung round him, and a trap in each hand, offers his wares to an old man (left) who looks from his bulk or stall, on which are a bird in a wicker cage and a rabbit in a hutch. A little boy and girl, hand in hand, stare intently at the rabbit. A dog snarls at two rats in one of the traps. A woman looks down from a casement window over the pent-house roof of the stall.

A large clumsy dog (left) oddly like a bear, its collar inscribed 'Towler', sits under an oak surrounded by puppies; all bark savagely at a group of animals representing France and subject countries. Napoleon is an ape, who pushes forward an ass laden with 'Swiss Cheese'; he holds a staff on which are shackles and a cap of Liberty, and turns his head to snarl. The British dog barks "Keep off Boney"; all the puppies bark "Keep off". By the aged oak, up which ivy climbs, is a scroll inscribed 'Union' [cf. BMSat 10103, &c.]. The 'Gallic Mongrel', its collar inscribed 'Snarl', retaliates: "I bark at you I bite these". 'These' are animals to whose leg or collar is attached a heavy weight inscribed 'Liberty'. They are 'Signor', an Italian greyhound, and 'Mynheer', a ringed pig or boar. A similar weight is attached to the (Swiss) ass

A satire, divided into quarters, with four small scenes of different episodes of persons trying to collect their Christmas boxes. In the first square in the upper left, a plump supplicant in an apron holds out his hat to a scowling-faced man with a kerchief tied over his hat and a walking stick under his arm as they meet in a road outside a building with a lamp. Behind him on the wall is a sign posted "Miser'. In response to the request, the miser says "Give you a Christmass box. Curse you don't I pay you for your meat." On the top row, right, a thin man (a grave digger?) with a pipe in his mouth, bows to an obese clergyman, with a fat dog at his heel, as they stand in the graveyard of a church. The gravedigger asks, "Most worthy Parson give me a Christmass box." The Parson replies, "Give you a halter you rascal. What should I give you a Christmass box for." In the lower left, clergyman shakes his walking stick at a surprised man who is carrying a large box on his back and secured with a strap over his forehead. The clergyman says to the laborer, "If you ever ask me for a Christmass box again, I'll physic you to death." They are standing in front of building with a lantern and sign that reads "Gargle Apothycary." The fourth square, lower right, shows old, hag-faced woman with a hat and muff standing in a parlor as she slaps the face of an astonished footman. She tells him, "Take that you saucy rascal for a Xmass box!" He replies, "What's that for. I did not want a box on the ear, not I."
