Print shows George, the Prince Regent, dancing and drinking at a lavish party with the wife of a man who sits with a dejected look on his face and holding a sheet of paper "Order of the day" which lists "Breakfast - 2 to be HUNG at Newgate" with lunch, dinner and tea schedules followed by "Supper - German fling, d [penny] sausage with bread, cheese & kisses &c &c, Dancing all night" and with his feet resting on sheet music titled "The black joke" while behind him stand two demon-like figures playing French horns, alluding to his present cuckold condition. Through an opening in the palace is a view of a gallows and poor persons seeking relief.
