Artist: Charles Williams. Published: S. W. Fores. Two stout elderly watchmen, each with a lighted lantern hung from the top of his staff, stand on the pavement, on opposite sides of the dignified doorway of Brooks's. Each staff supports a notice: 'Beware of Bad Houses'. Over the door is the notice: 'Subscription Ho[use]'. A tipsy gamester leaves it, saying: "I say! ta ta take ca ca care of your Pockets - I've been in develish genteel Company." He is dishevelled, With hands thrust in his coat-pockets, the other pockets hanging inside out. One watchman points at him with his thumb, saying to his companion: "Done! Settled for the Night." On the long balcony are three men; two wear ribbons, third leans over to hail a passer-by: "Step in! Step in! here's the Duke of Doem the Earl of Nickem and Lord Shufleton I'll introduce you into some of the first Company." The man addressed wears a vulgar exaggeration of the fashion, with a bulky stock and cravat, and coat with high collar and pointed tails. He is laden with money-bags inscribed '10.000', '5.000', '5.000', and gapes up at the balcony. Description from the British Museum.
