Abstract:
A rural scene depicting with three inns at election time. At The Portobello (named in celebration of the naval victory of 1739 in contrast with the recent loss of Minorca), two veterans sit smoking or drinking at table while reminiscing; the tankard of the one engraved with the words "John Hill at the Porto Bello." At the second inn in the distance, is The Excise Office; on its sign is a picture the Crown. It is a Whig stronghold as its name alludes to Walpole's Excise Bill of 1733. It is surrounded by a rioting crowd; a man leans out one of the upper windows and is shooting a gun. At the third inn, the sign for The Royal Oak (its name alluding to Tory support for the Stuart monarchy) is partly obscured by the banner of "Punch Candidate for Guzzledown" which shows the Treasury being emptied of money that a candidate throws at voters. In the center of the design, a young country gentleman is being bribed by agents of both parties, while, to right, a portly candidate buys trinkets from a Jewish peddler for two young ladies on the balcony of "The Royal Oak"; the landlady counts her bribe under the watchful eye of a soldier while she leans against a carved British lion about to devour the fleur-de-lis of France. In this state the lion's teeth haved been removed and the print generally darkened

In a tavern, sailors in uniform are carousing; one dances with a woman in the centre, as another plays a violin on the left in front of diamond-patterned casement windows; others are drinking (mugs in hand) or smoking clay pipes. A couple kiss and embrace in the background. A ship model hangs from the ceiling. A fat dog (or cat?) lies at the feet of the musician

Abstract:
"Elderly men sit and stand, all smoking long pipes; large clouds of smoke issue from their mouths, but little or nothing comes from the bowls of their pipes. Most sit or stand silently morose; two standing men (left) appear to be puffing smoke in each other's faces. One leans back, apparently asleep, but smoking. An ugly man seated on the extreme right takes the hand of a pretty young woman who stands opposite him; he holds a large key. She slips a note into the hand of a fierce-looking military officer who stands with his back to her. On the wall (right) is a placard: 'At a general meeting of this Society, it was resolv'd by a Majority of Independent members, that any member may be Indulg'd with having the Key brought him, by his Servant or hand-maid, but on no pretence whatever be followd by that bane of good fellowship calld the White Sergeant.' Above the door are framed Rules: 'Ist No Gemman to be a member of this Society who cannot smoke three pipes at one sitting - NB no Spitting 2d No members pipe to be more than 14 Inches nor less than nine unless permitted so to do by the Landlady 3d Every member to find his own Stopper 4th Any member who puffs designedly in the face of another, to be find sixpence or be puff'd at in return by the whole company 5th All fines to be spent in Porter T.

Presumably a parody of David Tenier the Younger's print "A Flemish Club". In this version, also a tavern setting, four monkeys dressed in shirts and vests and two wearing plumed hats, sit around a bowl, one looking back at a companion who holds up a glass, one who smokes as he holds a tankard; the one holding a knife looks with surprise at the bowl of food

A tailor and cobbler, both are partially bald, are seated with their backs to roaring fire in the grate of a fireplace. The cobbler is sitting at a table with a glass and tankard in front of him; he is smoking a pipe and blowing the smoke into the tailor's face. The tailor sits slumped forward in a state of evident inebriation and his own pipe lies broken on the floor. On the wall behind them is a picture of a man seated under a tree sketching(?) the rural scene in front of him, a church with a steeple in the distance
