Her dress is blown back against her skinny form; her hands are in a large muff, and she wears a fur tippet over a tight bodice defining shoulders, round to deformity. Her profile is hideously sub-human. She walks with a fixed stare, not looking at a half-naked beggar (right) with a patch over one eye and supported on a crutch who holds out his hat for alms. Behind is a blank wall, above which are a church spire and old-fashioned gabled houses."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- A scene in an artist's studio lit from an attic window (left). Four connoisseurs are grouped round a large canvas on an easel: an Apollo with a sheaf of arrows, head turned in profile to the left. The model is a tall black man in the pose of the Apollo but with very different features, the left hand holding the stick of a broom which supports the pose. A fifth connoisseur reaches up to alter the position of the model's head. The artist stands beside his canvas facing the invaders, the left hand, holding palette and brushes, rests on the canvas; he sucks his mahl-stick with a gloomy scowl. On the extreme right a cat sits in a cradle, behind which an alarmed little boy hides. The artist's wife, with an infant in her arms, faces the fire with her back to the visitors whose unwelcome intrusion is apparent. Behind is a bed with drawn curtains. Three casts from the antique decorate the bare room. The model's coat and hat lie on the ground (right). On the far left in the foreground a dog urinates against two canvases leaning against the wall

- "A design in six compartments arranged in two rows, each with a title. [1] 'Johnnys reception by "merry Tonkanoo at Negro Ball'. The ball is in an open shed with a negro fiddler seated high on a hogshead; most of the guests watch Johnny, the only white, and 'Tonkanoo' bowing to each other. The latter is a tall negro with huge false moustache and long wig, feathered hat, and wide-cuffed coat in imitation of English dress c. 1740, with breeches and bare legs. A negro behind Johnny disperses flies with a branch. A negro couple is dancing; the ladies are fully dressed, some with tall cylindrical hats. Behind are distant mountains. [2] 'Johnny dancing with Rosa--the Planters beautiful daughter'. At the same ball all the negroes form a background of admiring spectators while Johnny, still wearing his enormous hat, dances with a pretty English girl in conventional evening dress, holding both her hands. Tonkanoo stands with his arms extended towards them. In the foreground (left) is a little naked negro Cupid with bow, quiver, and arrows, pointing to the couple. [3] 'Johnnys Courtship and professions of Love to Rosa'. Rosa reclines on a sofa under a piece of drapery looped from a tree; Johnny (left), hat in hand, kneels at her feet while the Cupid aims his bow at him. A pet monkey sits beside Rosa, and behind her (right) stands a negro girl brushing away flies with a branch. Johnny's servant is behind (left) holding an umbrella. Two cockatoos bill on a branch. [4] 'Johnny and the fair Rosa tripping to the Altar of Hymen'. The pair run hand in hand along a path which winds to a church resembling an English village church. Negro servants run after them, one holding up a large umbrella. Before them run two little negroes; one is Cupid playing a fiddle, the other, Hymen, holds up a lighted torch. In the distance, nearing the church, are the parson and his clerk. [5] 'Nuptial ceremony of Johnny and the charming Rosa'. In a Gothic church the parson with his book stands behind a cylindrical altar on which are two hearts transfixed by an arrow. Johnny puts the ring on Rosa's finger. The congregation are delighted negroes and negresses. Against the altar sit Cupid and Hymen; Cupid wears Johnny's huge hat and plays the fiddle; Hymen blows at his torch. [6] 'Johnny and his fair Bride reveling in Jollity and festive mirth'. Johnny, tipsily jovial, his father-in-law, and Rosa, sit at table, drinking, the men smoking, many bottles of 'Sangaree' on the floor. A man fiddles, and in the background a dance is in progress. Johnny wears his planter's hat, &c., as in British Museum Satires No. 11983, and has always a swarm of flies round his head. Rosa throughout wears her ball-dress, with feathers in her hair."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

In the foreground (left) spectators on horseback look up in amazement, one horse throws its rider; geese, goslings, and pigs are under the horses' feet.

- Description:
- Title etched below image., Later state of a plate first published by Gabriel Shire Tregear in 1834, the year in which the Slavery Abolition Act came into force. The original print was one of twenty caricatures with the series title 'Tregear's Black Jokes'. The prints developed the theme of the earlier 'Life in Philadelphia' caricatures (of which Tregear published copies), lampooning the social aspirations of Philadelphia's black population. After Tregear's death, the plates for 'Tregear's Black Jokes' passed to his former shopman Thomas Crump Lewis (1808-81), whose publication line is on this later state. The three mentions of Tregear's name on the plate have either been changed to Lewis's or simply effaced., Dated 1860 by the Library of Congress, but Hickman suggests that the prints were issued before that date., "Catalogue of prints"--Etched in lower right corner., and Sheet trimmed to plate mark.

- "Two designs placed side by side, the title so arranged that 'The Contrast' applies to both, the first four and last two words to the two designs respectively. [1] A scene outside Jaffa where the French flag flies from a fort on a rock at whose base are hospital tents (left), in which the sick can be seen. In the foreground Napoleon (a poor portrait) points with an imperious gesture to a bottle of 'Opium' in the hand of a distressed doctor in civilian dress. He says: "Don't talk to me of Humanity & the feelings of a generous heart, I say Poison those Sick dogs they are a burthen to me, & can no longer fight my Battles!!! I say destroy them - As for those Turks, them up in the Garrison, turn all the Guns upon them, Men, Women, & Children & blow them to atoms, they are too bold & resolute for me to suffer them to live, they are in my Way." In the middle distance (left) is a body of Turks, their arms tied behind them, guarded by a French soldier who points at Napoleon. Behind Napoleon two French officers exchange glances, acutely dismayed at the orders." ... [2] Two black soldiers, in neat regimentals, prepare to kill three haggard French officers. One raises an axe to smite a bound prisoner. Two British officers (left) interpose with outstretched arms; one says: "We know they are our Enemies, & yours, & the Enemies of all Mankind, nevertheless Humanity is so strongly planted in the Breast of an Englisman [sic], that he can become an humble beggar, for the lives, even of his enemies, when they are subdued."

- Abstract:
- "General Theobald Dillon (three-quarter length) is being murdered by French soldiers, ruffianly fellows, most of whom wear cocked hats with a tricolour cockade. He is pierced with many bayonets, and his throat is cut; his head is dragged backwards by a man who grasps his hair in hands and teeth. He puts up an arm crying, "oh le Pauvre Dillon". A man with sabre raised to slash again, says, "Encore Encore." Two of the men say "Ca-ira". One who is using his bayonet says, "oh by Gar dis will be de brave news for de new association in England."--British Museum online catalogue

The officer, Lieut. Lyon, bows in profile to the right, right hand on his breast, staring with humorous and wary appraisal at the women. The chief, who smiles blandly, seated on a low slab, wears a huge nose-ring, a plume of ostrich feathers, and a sword for which his left ear serves as hilt. Immediately behind him is a bodyguard of four warriors holding tall spears on each of which a skull is transfixed. Two grin, one looks with sour possessiveness at the women. All the Africans are very negroid, and naked except for small aprons. Behind the women are more Africans, much amused. Behind Lyon stand an astonished naval officer and two amused military officers; all are in dress uniform. Behind these are grinning sailors and on the extreme left the tips of the bayonets of the escort, with a Union flag."--British Museum online catalogue

- "Satire on the Jacobite rebellion, Prince Charles Edward Stuart, the Young Pretender, and the pro-French and Catholic measures he was expected to introduce. The Prince walks through a market place wearing a tartan kilt and a coat covered in fleur-de-lis; he is proceeded by a drummer and followed by Scots troops carrying Lochaber axes all of whom wear cockades on their Scots bonnets. At a butcher's stall on the right, proclaiming 'Flesh for such as haue Licences', a bishop buys a piece of beef from a woman who chops it up with a cleaver. Beside this is a stall selling 'FINE PLUMP FROGS for a Fricace'e, specimens of which hang from rods over the stall while a young woman arranges more on her counter; next is a Frenchman offering 'Woode(n) Shoes A la mod(e) PARIS' from a selection on a table before him. Above the final stall two angels hold a notice, adorned with the Papal arms, advertising 'Holy RELICKS from JERSULEM ITALY FRANCE SPAIN & other Catholick Countries to be Sold or Chang'd for old Silver by Antonio Maria Francesco Credo' while in the stall beneath a monk stands before a pile of sculls holding a broken femur; the wares for sale include a rosary, a cross, a knife, 'Queen Maries shoes', bits of bones, one of which is labelled 'Legg of St. Andrew', another, 'Arme of St Ninion', and notices advertise, 'The VIRG(in's) MILK', 'Angels Sweat', 'Saints Teeth'; in front of the stall a dog holds a 'Bone of St Dominick' in its teeth. In the foreground, on the left, a group of Scotsmen, one playing the bagpipes, sits outside an inn from which hangs the sign of the 'FRENCH YOKE', while another enters carrying over his shoulder a heavy bag lettered 'CONTRIBUTION MONEY'. On the balcony of the in inn stand Cardinal Tencin, the Pope, holding a cross and a crown, and a monk; lettering at their feet reads, 'FRENCH BRANDY & ITALIAN WINES imported by P.BENIDICT C. TENCIN'. A street sweeper sweeps up papers lettered 'Magna Charta', 'Bank Notes', 'India Bills', and 'Scotch Directory for Worship', 'The HOLY BIBLE' and 'The BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER'. Behind him a Scotsman gives a coin to a monk in exchange for papers lettered 'Indulgences for 100 Years' and 'Pardons for Sins Past'; a French priest standing beside him, a white Jacobite cockade in his hat, carries a pedlar's tray laden with bottles and balls lettered, Poison Gaggs and Spanish Padlocks'. In the centre, a barefoot boy drives a donkey with panniers on top of which are papers lettered 'Petition for a General Spunge', 'Petition to dissolve the Union', 'Petitions of your true Friends', 'Petition to Restore Abby Lands and for Clanships'. On the right, a young woman, also barefoot, kneels by a basket, with the label 'Royal Nosegays' offering for sale bunches of thistles and lilies. In the background is a market cross on which hangs a paper lettered 'J[ames] R[ex]', with the sign of a fleur-de-lis, 'MANIFESTO by the Power of France and Spain Rome Sept 2 sign'd Okely'. Beyond is a chapel with a thatched roof in the doorway of which a woman kneels before a monk standing behind three thistles; on the front of the chapel, under the sign of a host over a chalice with St Peter's keys and the papal tiara, is a large notice promising 'Full Indulgences, MIRACLES Done here by the Holy Fathers of the INQUISITION Three Thistles grow out of a hard Stone'."--British Museum online catalogue

- "Satire based on a novel of the same title on the cruel and hypocritical behaviour of a female former convict with four scenes enclosed within rococo scrolls. The scene on the left shows Polly Haycock, visibly pregnant, standing on a quay chained with a group of other convicts, guarded by a turnkey as they await transportration; above a mask holds a ribbon in its mouth lettered "With Child by the under turnkey, put on board a Lighter, from thence into a Transport Ship bound for Virginia". In the centre are two scenes, the lower one showing a coach travelling through a town being approached by two robbers, one of whom stands at the coach door raising his hands towards the woman sitting inside who wears a watch. Beneath this scene is written "Rob Theif. Or the Lady of ye Gold Watch Polly Haycock". In the scene above this a nearly naked woman is kneeling on a stone, her hands tied behind her back, being whipped by a black man; in the background on the left a man can be seen through a window sitting eating while on the right a man on horseback raises his hands. Written above is "Whipp'd during dinner her master boasting that no Monarch upon earth had so fine Musick as he fancied her Cries. In the Intreim [sic] the Justice Releasing and takes her home". In the fourth scene on the right she stands in a fashionable dress in a grand room holding a stick, a girl lies at her feet in evident distress, her skirt pulled up; a fashionably black page-boy stands on the left and three female servants stand in the background on the right. Above the scene a mask holds a ribbon in its mouth lettered "Her usage to her Free-born English Servants is as they do Negroes and Felons in the Plantations tho' she felt the Mesery herself". Beneath is written Remember Mrs. Branch & her daughter (a reference to the notorious case of Elizabeth Branch who murdered her servant in 1740)."--British Museum online catalogue

- "The Prince of Wales and his adherents are travestied as negroes; the Prince stands in a doorway inscribed 'Brookes Rectifier of Spirits', which is represented as a debtor's prison: the heads of George Hanger and Burke are seen through a barred window on the left outside which hangs a basket inscribed 'Pray Remember us Poor Blacks'. Both are naked, except for Hanger's accustomed cocked hat (cf. BMSat 6924), and Burke's biretta (cf. BMSat 6026). The Prince wears a girdle of leaves, a helmet feathered like the head-dress of a Red Indian, but decorated with the triple ostrich plume, and his ribbon and star. He holds out his hands in consternation at the approach of Fox and North (as a woman), their arms interlaced, their faces contorted with grief (cf. BMSat 6193, &c). Fox's hat is inscribed 'Carlo Crusoe'; on his breast is a placard: 'We were unfortunately cast away in the British Channel on board the Portland East Indiaman' (an allusion to the defeat of the Coalition on Fox's India Bill, and probably an imitation of the placards of begging seamen). Their scanty garments are ragged; from North's Garter ribbon hangs a placard: 'Ruined by the American War'. Behind them is another couple with arms interlaced: Lord George Gordon (not a negro) with a black man who carries a primitive stringed instrument, his cap inscribed 'Man Friday'. He is perhaps intended for Sheridan.
