This print satirizes the coarse customs and manners of the British Jamaican elites at a social club. Dozens of men and women dirnk (likely sangaree) and smoke with their legs propped up in crude positions. While all of the white figures are seated in Windsor chairs, an enslaved man—who would never have been allowed to sit in these chairs—is the sole figure standing.

James Earl painted this portrait of Samuel Packard in 1794 during the last few years of his life. Packard was a man of high regard in New England as a merchant and mariner. The Windsor chair, Packard's waistcoat, and red drapery in the background indicate his wealth and status.
