- Abstract
-
"Fashionable town loungers (cf. British Museum Satires No. 8377, &c), badly damaged in dress and limb, walk on a broad pavement. In the foreground are five figures, three in back view; all have one arm in a sling, two have a leg supported at the knee, two have bandaged eyes. Their coats and hats are riddled with holes and rents. The man on the extreme right is Skeffington, copied in reverse from British Museum Satires No. 9440, but wearing a large cocked hat. He looks round at Penn, copied in reverse from British Museum Satires No. 9441. From Penn's pocket issues a paper: '[word illegible] for Boxing'. Under the foot of the man on the extreme left, who is gazing at a lady through an eye-glass, is a paper: 'Leakes Pills' (absent in British Museum Satires No. 9447 a). Next him is Lord Kirkcudbright. Behind are other members of the 'Battalion', freely sketched and similarly damaged."--British Museum online catalogue
