Abstract:
"Six scenes arranged in two rows, divided by lines, each with a caption, and inscriptions above the design. The figures have large heads, broadly caricatured, in the manner of Woodward's Lilliputian designs, cf. British Museum Satires No. 9635, &c. [1] 'Conscience'. A fat florid woman gesticulates wildly, watched by a sour-looking man. They say: "Oh Im Undone! Im Undone!" and "Then I wish you would undo me--for they have fined me five Shillings for my bit of fun." [2] 'An Airing'. A fashionably dressed and grotesque couple walk arm-in-arm, registering anger. She says: "Now let us pretend to walk out as if nothing was the matter." He says, registering anguish, "Oh what a prize in the Lottery." [3] 'Alarm'. A woman holds a man on her knee. He says, registering dismay, "But if Mr Spriggins should come home what should we do then." She answers, calculatingly amorous: "Be not alarmed sweet Lily of the Valley." [4] 'A Walk to the Shubbery' [sic]. A not uncomely woman, holding up a fan, leads a hideous man towards a shrubbery. He says: "Let me lead you lovely fair one--Nothing loath." She answers: "Oh spare my Blushes." [5] 'A scene in a Stone Coffin'. A couple embrace in a stone coffin beside which lie a skull and bones. She says: "O Dear o dear if the Gostesses should come." He answers: D--n the Gostesses." (An Irish scandal of 1784, see British Museum Satires No. 6699, &c.) [6] 'Observation'. An old man wearing a night-cap and huge spectacles stands with bent knees gazing through a doorway. He says: "Mercy on me, what do I see--well a pair of spectacles is tantamount to two Witnesses"."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A plump young woman stands with feet together bending before the wind, and holding down the short (muslin) skirt of her high-waisted décolletée dress. The wind makes it define her plump posterior and she says, "La, Bless me how cool it is." Her brightly coloured ankle-boots have a border of swan's-down. Two absurd fops walking close behind inspect her with amusement, one using an eyeglass says: "It is certainly more gratifying to view, than the Regents Bomb!!!!!!" [see British Museum Satires No. 12799, &c.]. The other says: "I think she intends it as an opposition, to that in St James's Park." One wears a long braided coat to the ground, the other loose trousers and narrow coat-tails which blow round his legs. Both wear stocks, collars, small hats, and fluffed-out hair like those of the dandies in British Museum Satires No. 12840. On the right a couple walk off to the right, in difficulties with an umbrella. The woman's dress is well above her knees; the man wears wide trousers tied in at the ankle, and coat-tails like streamers of ribbon. Farther from the spectator, and walking from right to left is a young woman followed by a little negro foot-boy. She holds on her bonnet, and holds down her very short skirt in front, saying, "What a rude wind this is, old [sic] fast behind Mung." He holds down the hem of her skirt, and carries her reticule; he answers: "Yes, Miss'e I wont let Loose if you dont." In the background, behind the rails, a man chases his hat, a woman holds an umbrella which is inside out, and sees her bonnet blow away."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"A scene on Horse Guards Parade, in front of the Regent's Bomb, see British Museum Satires No. 12799, &c., burlesquing costume, military and civilian. Three officers stand together (left); an infantry officer wearing tight trousers and an enormous shako, says: "What ridiculous uniforms they wear on the Continent! d'ont you think so Major?" A cavalry officer answers: "We beat them all to nothing in Uniforms! our R . . . . t has such exquisite taste!" He is in back view, one peak of his cocked hat reaches below his waist, the other is high above his head. The third, a hussar, too stout for tight uniform, wearing a gigantic busby with pendent bag and heavy metal chin-strap, answers: "Monstrous! enough to make one die with laughter." A civilian, his cheeks gripped by his high collar, looks over his shoulder at them, saying, "Ha Ha what a set of quizzes!!" His fat wife is in back view, and her skirt is raised high, displaying legs, by the sabre of a Life Guards officer who bows low to a fat bedizened woman who takes her husband's arm. An enormous horse-tail hangs from his helmet which is surmounted by a dragon (resembling that of the 'Bomb'). She has monstrous lips, and wears a huge bonnet trimmed with roses, &c. He says: "Ah! my dear Mrs Bloom! You look like the Godess [sic] Flora this morning, your Roses and Lillies are beautiful but your Two Lips [cf. British Museum Satires No. 13057] still more so! I prefer your Twolips indeed Madam." She answers: "Eh! Eh! Eh! Vy ive got no twolips Captain! law what a deal of hair you have got on your thingumbob, if I had met you behind, I should have taken you for Orson the wild Man of Voods." Her fat husband, who is dressed as a dandy (cf. British Museum Satires No. 13029) except that his figure makes the high-waisted effect impossible, answers: "Come thats a good one Captain but Margery don't take it." He holds by the hand a gaping over-dressed child wearing frilled drawers to the ankle."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A satire on costume and manners. Dandies (see British Museum Satires No. 13029) eagerly offer refreshments to ladies at a reception or ball. An elderly fright stands in the centre, between a thin (left) and a fat (right) dandy, one proffering a large goblet on a salver, the other a plate of patties, one of which is stuffed into his grinning mouth. She eagerly turns to the left with an ogling grin. On the left a footman spills a tray of goblets and ices over an elderiy lady seated on a chair which tilts backward. He has been knocked off his balance by the bow of the thin dandy. On the right a dandy seated by a fat ugly lady offers her a goblet. Her short skirt displays fat shapeless legs, defined by cross-gartering. All are much décolletée. A dandy drinks, while admiring himself in a mirror. A candle-sconce hangs between two oval mirrors, but in an adjacent room seen through an archway is a hanging chandelier with chimneys which probably indicate gas. Violinist, 'cellist, &c., play in a musicians' gallery in the background (left)."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Wellington, handsome and youthful, stands beside his white charger; he wears a star (K.G., 4 Mar. 1813) and a star dangles from his horse's head. A young officer runs up to him from the left hat in hand, proffering a field marshal's baton; he says: "General I greet you with the tydeings of complete Victory the Usurper and his Field Marshal have fled, and left all their Cannon, Amunition, Baggage, Military Chest, provision, and I here present you with Marshall Jourdans Baton of command!" Wellington says: "May this Trophy prove--our hope of future victory, and England once more restore Spain to her lawful Soveriegn!" Between and behind them stands a third officer, looking at Wellington with both arms raised ecstatically. On the extreme right and almost in back view an officer looks through a telescope saying, "There goes King Joey!" He looks towards tiny figures on a bluff (left) near the towers of Vittoria. They stand on raised ground in the foreground. Behind (left) English infantry run forward with fixed bayonets; bodies lie on the ground."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Sheridan, in Harlequin dress (cf. British Museum Satires No. 9916), rows an open boat, over which large waves are breaking, towards a rock on the horizon inscribed 'Cape Clear', The others in the boat are (left to right) Moira, in the bows, Yarmouth pumping hard, the Regent, McMahon, and Lady Hertford who steers with an oar. Her identity is made unmistakable by a scarf streaming from her décolletée dress, inscribed 'Manchester Stuff [cf. British Museum Satires No. 11878]. She says: Pull away Sherry--Til steer you--into--Blanket Bay'. Next her sits the Prince, vomiting, his head held by McMahon, who says, "This is Sorry--Work indeed." His hat, trimmed with his feathers and motto, 'Ich Dien', flies from his head, puffed by blasts from three winged (portrait) heads, two perhaps intended for Burdett and Whitbread. Sheridan says to Yarmouth: "Pump a way My Noble dont Flinch." Moira bestrides the bows of the boat clasping the flag-staff from which flies a Union Jack; he says: "I'll keep a good look-out a head for My Honours sake." Three other winds (unrecognizable), inscribed 'Mother Careys Chickens', blow against him (cf. British Museum Satires No. 11050). On the horizon, surrounded with breakers, are buildings: (left) 'Yarmouth Peer', and (right) above Lady Hertford, 'Cuckolds-point', surmounted by a head with wide-spreading horns."--British Museum online catalogue
