- "The left sheet of a three-plate composition, British Museum Satires Nos. 5925-7. Riders, probably in Hyde Park, looking with astonishment at an elderly lady (right) walking from left to right followed by a little black boy carrying her umbrella. She wears an enormous calash hood, see BMSat 5434, &c, and holds in her left hand a shepherdess's crook. Three men (left) ride side by side, from left to right, the nearest pulls on his reins, leaning back, the next looks at the lady through his spy-glass, the third, staring open-mouthed, lashes his horse. The horse of a stout man riding from right to left, immediately behind the lady, is rearing. In the foreground an old woman sits by the roadside with a sheaf of ballads or newspapers. Behind (left) are trees."--British Museum online catalogue, "A central three plate composition. Riders in Hyde Park. A fat coachman (right) rides (left to right) a coach-horse in blinkers, his mistress is seated behind him, in back-view, wearing an enormous calash hood, see British Museum Satires No. 5434, &c, and holding a fan. The horse has planted its forefeet on the ground, its rider is applying spurs and a coach-whip. On the left a lady and a slim and elegant young man are galloping from right to left; he turns towards her, she looks straight ahead. Behind them rides a groom. In the background (right) is a group of trees, in the foreground grass and (left) three dogs."--British Museum online catalogue, and "The right sheet of a three-plate composition, British Museum Satires Nos. 5925-7. Riders, probably in Hyde Park, with a pedestrian who is being worried by four dogs, apparently on account of his dress. He stands (left) on tiptoe, in profile to the right, holding up his arms, a stick in his right hand. His coat is spotted like a leopard and it and his waistcoat are edged with fur. He is probably a Frenchman. Two dogs worry at his coat, a larger one standing on its hind-legs, puts one paw on his chest, a fourth is biting his long pigtail queue. Three riders, riding from right to left, look with interest at the man and dogs. The foremost is a military officer in uniform, with holsters and rolled cloak on his saddle. A fourth man rides stiffly from left to right, looking straight in front of him."--British Museum catalogue

- "A satire on Cambridge. The interior of a large room showing two sash windows, through one of which (left) is seen part of the south side of the Senate House, through the other, the tower of St. Mary's Church, both drawn with topographical accuracy. Between the two windows is a niche in which is a statue of Athene holding her shield; in her outstretched left hand is held out a laurel wreath towards some men beneath her who have entered from a door on the right. Her owl sits beside her on the stump of a tree. Beneath the title is etched, "dedicated to the illustrious Inheritress of her fame in Professors of Arts & Sciences, the University of Cambridge O Matre pulchra Filia pulchrior!" Immediately below Athene, and concealing the lower part of her draperies a man stands on a high rostrum covered with a cloth. He wears a furred academic gown and bands, and holds out a rolled document in his right hand. Immediately below the rostrum a man, not in academic dress, is seated at a table writing. He is in profile to the right looking towards four men who have entered from the right through an open door, apparently 'professors of Arts and Sciences', whose names he is recording. The foremost of these is a dancing-master who stands holding a bow in his right hand, a kit or small fiddle in his left. Next is a rough-looking elderly man wearing a round hat and long coat. The other two are middle-aged, one holding his hat and a cane and accompanied by a dog. On the left, and behind the chair of the man writing, are two other 'professors'; a fencing-master, wearing a fencing-jacket, stands in back view, turning his head in profile to the right, his left arm raised, holding his foil horizontally. Behind him stands a thin man wearing a hat, one hand in his waistcoat pocket, the other thrust in his waistcoat."--British Museum catalogue
