"Fashionably dressed men and women, in acute discomfort, hasten from right to left. A lady in the foreground (right) taking the arm of a dandy resembles Mrs. Robertson, see British Museum Satires No. 14557. There is a background of bushes and trees. The head of a black footman, wearing a cocked hat, pops up from behind a bush. On the extreme right is part of the Pump Room, with central cupola and pillared portico."--British Museum online catalogue
