Waterton (right) sits erect and composed astride a Cayman (South American alligator) holdings its forelegs twisted backwards as a bridle. He is barefooted, wearing white shirt and trousers, with a knife in his belt. Four Indians and three black enslaved men haul at the rope attached to the bait which the creature has swallowed. Behind is the river with a long canoe lying against the shore. On the opposite bank are dense trees, some with hammocks slung between them. See British Museum online catalogue

"Scene in a ramshackle garret. A dandy in a late stage of decay crouches over the fire (where an iron is heating) on a small stool, holding out his shirt, befrilled and collared, but sleeveless. He wears tightly laced stays over bare flesh, which is ravaged by insects or skin-disease, with ragged drawers and socks. Other ragged garments hang from a string across the fireplace, others project from a crock (right) where they are being washed. Boots, blacking, &c., are on the floor. Coat, hat, trousers, and eyeglass lie on a makeshift bed; an overcoat hangs on a coat-hanger. His hair is brushed upwards from the neck with one lock arranged over the forehead. His whiskers are on a stand on the table, with broken combs, tooth-brush, &c. On the wall hang his umbrella, a pair of bootsoles, and a red herring. On the chimney-piece, with medicine-bottle, tea-pot, &c., is a ballad headed by a gibbet with corpses. On a box which forms a head to the bed are band-box, cane, cracked mirror, &c."--British Museum online catalogue

"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

"A companion plate to No. 12826. Byron is the centre of a promenade scene resembling No. 12840; he walks (left to right) with a lady on each arm; they have some resemblance to two of the women in No. 12826, and one may be Mrs. Mardyn. Both frown angrily; one holds a huge muff. Byron wears a bell-shaped top-hat on projecting curls, with a high collar and stock, and a coat buttoned to the waist, and sweeping the ground, with baggy trousers gathered at the ankle. They meet a third lady, apparently pregnant, both arms in a muff, who stares angrily at Byron. All wear flaunting hats or bonnets with high cylindrical crowns, short full skirts. Behind them walks a stout ugly woman who passes a letter to a man behind her, grinning slyly, while he leers grotesquely and thrusts papers into a reticule hanging from her wrist. He is an absurd dandy with very wide trousers, shock of hair, small hat, and high neck-cloth. In the background is a high phaeton driven by a man of fashion. In the foreground (left) is an amateur coachman in back view, holding a coach-whip, and wearing a voluminous multi-caped coat resting on the ground (cf. No. 12375)."--British Museum online catalogue
