Social satire; the image is divided into six parts, with speech below each part, and each showing a different type of person, who chooses a simile to suit himself; they include a very short soldier, saying "What Great Men we are! as the Dwarf said to the Giant!!", and a man who carries papers labelled "Law Suit Won", who says "I have it all my own way! as the Ox said in the China Shop!!!". October 1798 Hand-coloured etching
