A young man, working at a carpenter's bench (left), turns round to look with pleased expectancy at a lottery ticket, which his wife holds out to him, alluringly inscribed with the royal arms, 'State Lottery Office L 30,000'.

"George IV sits on Lady Conyngham's lap, kissing her amorously; he wears a dressing-gown with ungartered stockings. Lady Elizabeth (right) bends over him, supporting his elbow, while her sister, Lady Maria Harriet, stands behind the sofa, close to her mother. All three women are in evening dress. In the foreground (right) Lord Francis, tall and fashionable, stands directed to the right, looking furtively over his right shoulder. He holds a large purse, and is slipping coins from it into his trouser-pocket; he says: Well as this Purse must go to Knight-on [the K scored through] I'll make the most of it. At his feet is an open book: Lord C . . . Advice to his Son * Get money . . . it Honest if you can--. The words are partly hidden by a smaller book: Cunningham Poems. Behind, on the extreme left, and directed to the left, Lord Conyngham, with small horns and large ass's ears, sits on a chamber-pot inscribed Chamberl . . . [ain], holding a long wand of office. He scowls over his shoulder at his family, saying, It's a Blessing to be Happy and Contented. Behind him is a (pictorial) fire-screen mounted on a pole which terminates in a crown: Conyngham crawls on hands and knees, blindfolded and bound; his wife sits on his back, with the King on her lap, embracing her. Behind the closely grouped heads of the King and the three ladies are hanging bookshelves, two of the books being open: A Lecture upon Horns facing a stag's antlers, and Jerry Sneak [the hen-pecked husband in Foote's Mayor of Garratt]. On the floor in the foreground are an open book: A Mothers advice to her Daughters [cf. British Museum Satires 14401] and a paper: A List of Choice Plays She stoops to Conquer. All in the Wrong. Bold stroke for a Wife. Every Man in his Humour--Careless Husband. Way to keep Him, Tender Husband, School for Wives [scored through], Inconstant &c &c &c."--British Museum online catalogue

"Holiday-making 'cits' drive, ride, and walk (right to left) on a dusty road, in the direction of a sign-post (right) pointing 'To Wimbledon' (left); the opposite arm points (right) to: 'a near Cut to Batter sea'. [An allusion to the retort to a simpleton: 'You must go to Battersea to get your simples cut.' E. C. Brewer, 'Dict, of Phrase and Fable'. Cf. No. 12831.] On the extreme left is the back of a coach, with outside passengers, one with a huge frothing tankard. A fat man trudges between two women, followed by a bloated dog. A 'cit' on a bucking horse follows. Next is a family party: a fat woman carrying an infant, her lean husband holding a bag and a telescope, and dragging a go-cart in which sit four young children, while a chimney-sweep stands on the back of the cart, followed by another hanging to his coat; a child angrily threatens them with a coral and bells. Two meretricious-looking women walk arm-in-arm, closely followed and ogled by two absurd men in extravagant dandy costume, also arm-in-arm. These have enormous bell-trousers as in No. 12840. Driving beside these two groups is John Bull with his wife and four children in a two-wheeled cart drawn by a lean horse, flogged into a gallop. The cart is inscribed 'J.B Tax Cart N° 1816'. Behind him a would-be dandy drives a lady in a gig. In the background is the front of the procession which has turned to the right on to open common, where are tents, a swing, with a large bonfire to which men are dragging a whole tree, just cut down."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
A gentleman in a riding habit (left) rides his horse through the door of a cottage startling the family who sit at their dinner table. The man's hunting dog jumps at the young son who sits closest to the door; he screams in terror, his fork and knife frozen part way to his mouth and his leg thrown up, spilling a pitcher from the table. The mother raises up her arms in terror, letting the cutlery fly; in her mouth is a gnawed bone. Behind her is a wall with shelves lined with dishes and mugs. Her husband (right), back to the viewer, turns to the intruder pointing a long spear. His knife and fork are on the floor below his chair. The gentleman addresses the cottagers, "Och, dont disturb y'rselves my Nonies I only want to know whether you cou'd be after informing me where I cou'd meet with a decent night's lodging for man and beast."
