Description: A print satirising the evils of gambling and speculation with reference to the South Sea Bubble. It shows a London street scene with various kinds of gambling taking place. In the centre, a merry-go-round (the human wheel of fortune) has a goat on a pillar above it, bearing a label "Who'l ride". On the left, a winged devil with a scythe throws pieces of Fortune's body to a greedy crowd. A monument on the right commemorates 'the destructon of this city by the South Sea in 1720', its text being an alteration of a contemporary London monument to the Great Fire of 1666. Representatives of the Catholic, Protestant and Jewish faiths are gambling in the lower left foreground. In the lower right-hand corner, Trade lies dead. A poem below the work acts as a key to several letters of the alphabet on the print. This print, one of Hogarth's earliest, first published in 1721, was re-issued as late as 1809, engraved by Thomas Cook and published by Longman, Hurst, Rees & Orme, 1 August 1809. Its title was altered to 'Emblematical print of the South Sea' and it included the engraver's name on the lower right, and a publication statement below the title.

Description: The fourth print in `The four stages of cruelty' in which Hogarth shows the `progress' of the young man Tom Nero who takes delight in various forms of extreme cruelty and in this final print, ends up a victim of his own example. Tom, like his Roman namesake, is finally caught up in his own vicious excesses. He has been hanged for murder at Tyburn and his body retrieved for dissection before doctors in a surgeon's theatre at the Royal College of Physicians. The College coat of arms, showing one hand reading another hand's pulse, is on the back of the presiding surgeon's chair, with the royal coat of arms above it, while Tom's initials can be seen on his left arm. Tom's body lies stretched out on the dissecting table. His head is raised above the dissecting table by a pulley and rope attached to a bolt through his skull, while a surgeon gouges an eye out. Another surgeon gleefully opens Tom up with a knife. A dog chews on Tom's discarded heart on the floor. Bones are being boiled in a cauldron. A gathering of doctors and priests indicated by their motarboards and birettas, keep a sharp eye on the dissection, while behind them other wigged gentlemen huddle in groups to discuss it. On the lefthandside a more kindly-looking person looks directly at the viewer and points to the suspended skeleton of James Field, who points to the similarly suspended skeleton of Macleane, the `Gentleman Highwayman', on the other side of the print. Macleane, in turn, points directly back at Field, so that the two skeletons both point at each other as prime examples of the `rewards of cruelty' just as the person beneath Field points at them.
