- Abstract:
- "Scene in Assembly Rooms. Three dandies (cf. No. 13029), with the heads respectively of ape, ass, and dog, walk arm-in-arm towards a buffet in a recess (right). The first wears tight evening pantaloons and carries an opera-hat, the others wears hats, trousers (one gathered at the ankle, the other short and wide), and spurred boots, and carry canes. Two pretty and elegant ladies, arm-in-arm (left), watch with amused contempt; one looks through a lorgnette, saying, "What things! non descripts, brought here by the Discovery Ships, Esquimeaux." Below the title: 'Behold ye Dandies, scum of manly race An Ape, an Ass, a Puppy, dress'd like Beaux So in a Glass, Face answers unto Face, That here, each Dandy his own Portrait Shows.'"--British Museum online catalogue
