Lord Barrymore (left), very tall and thin, fights a butcher (right), who is short and stout, and who recoils with a bleeding nose. Barrymore, towering over his antagonist, says, "My precious Eyes and long Limbs - I'll lamb you - I'll teach you you dog now to encourage Brutes to engage in the Human exercise of fighting for Fun." He wears a striped waistcoat with a high collar, his shirt-sleeves rolled up. A dwarfish man (left) wearing a high-crowned hat, holds his coat and says, "Give it the dirty Blackguard well my dear Lord for setting his nasty Dog on my poor Pompey". On the extreme right two dogs are fighting. Beneath the title is etched: 'For having dared to give his Lordship indecent Language, because he reproved him for setting two dogs Fighting on Thursday last when he was walking in the Square.'  4 September 1791
