This image is a colored illustration that depicts a chaotic scene inside a room. The focal point of the image is a man who appears to have been propelled upward and backward by a large explosion that has originated from a long-case clock, often called a grandfather clock. The man's trajectory suggests he is about to collide with a framed picture on the wall. The explosion has also overturned a table, scattering cups, saucers, and a teapot onto the floor. A chair has been knocked over, and its cushion has been dislodged. A woman, seen in a state of shock, is falling backward on her chair, with her feet thrown up into the air. Adding to the pandemonium, a skeleton has sprung into a lively pose, with one foot on the chair and an arm extended. Three terrified cats are also depicted in the scene: one to the left under the woman's foot, and two others to the right of the exploding clock, running away from the scene. One of the cats appears to be airborne due to the blast. At the bottom of the image is a caption that reads, "No one but me shall set my Clock: He set it & behold the Shock." Overall, the illustration is a satirical piece likely commenting humorously on the consequences of being too possessive or controlling, with the literal "shock" serving as a metaphorical punchline to the captioned admonition. The art style and the method of color application suggest that this is a historical piece, possibly from the 18th or 19th century.
