Print shows Lord Sandwich lasciviously accosting a young street vendor who is pushing a wheelbarrow full of carrots. In the background is a bookseller's shop at the corner of 'Little Maddox Street' and 'New-Bond Street'. A sign over the door reads 'Faulder' [i.e. Robert Faulder] and above the two windows, 'Bookseller & Book Binder'. Pamphlets or open books fill the panes of the windows: 'Rules of the Order of Sr Francis' [an allusion to Sir Francis Dashwood and the profligate order of Medmenham Abbey]; 'List of Servant Maids'; 'A Chip of the old Block'; 'Doe Hunting an Ode by an old Buck Hound'; 'The Beauties of Bond Street'; and 'A Journey through Life - from Maddox Street unto Conduit Street & back again'.
