"Bergami and the Princess of Wales dance vigorously, hand in hand, her right hand in his left; he flourishes his peaked and tasselled courier's cap and heavy whip. He wears smart postilion's dress with jack-boots, as in No. 14176. The Princess is very décolletée, with quasi-Turkish trousers, patterned with roses. Behind, her coach and four stands in a country road, a man and woman attendant stand by it, watching in astonishment. There is a background of low mountains. Below the title: 'How I'd love you all the day, Every Night we'd Kiss and Play, If with me you'd fondly stray, Over the Hills and far away.'"--British Museum online catalogue

"Scene in a neat parlour or music room, with open square piano and lyre-back chairs. A middle-aged termagant, coquettishly dressed, has overturned her chair and stands with raised fist, shrieking at a very young man in riding-dress. He sits (left) with hat and riding-switch beside him, bewildered and passive; his dog takes cover under his chair, looking sideways at an aggressive cat which arches its back against its mistress. A cockatoo screams from its perch. On the piano, which is inscribed Row Maker, is an open music-book: Blow High. Blow Low; on the floor is a book open at Wake to Ecstacy the living Lyre. Behind the woman's head is a convex wall-mirror, topped by a carved eagle which looks fiercely down. This is flanked by two sea-scapes: Calm (left), ships becalmed, and Storm (right), a ship struck by lightning and about to be submerged in towering waves."--British Museum catalogue

"A game is just finished: a pretty elegant girl (right) has nine tricks, and an elderly spinster in old-fashioned dress, with spectacles on forehead, has four. They argue, gesturing with their hands, while the two men watch the girl intently. A dog barks at her. The room is lit by two candles from a sconce. Two pictures are on the wall, an owl in a bush, and a half-length portrait of a man, who seems to be watching the game intently, finger on lip"--British Museum online catalogue

"Two men play at a small round card-table, the cribbage-board between them. One (left), fashionably dressed, has thrown his cards on the table, rising slightly from his chair, with a stare of triumph at his opponent. The latter, elderly and old-fashioned, holds his cards, and stares with melancholy surprise at those on the table. A large snuff-box lies on the floor, overturned. Behind them is a folding screen which partly conceals a picture: a man, dressed as a jester, performing a conjuring trick to astonished spectators."--British Museum catalogue

"A London night-scene. A fashionably dressed man wearing top-boots is chased (right to left) by two police officers holding bludgeons. One holds a pair of hand-cuffs. The pavement is backed by a high stone wall topped by trees. On the wall, by a projecting lamp, are three superimposed bills: Burglary; £200 Reward Felony; Murder, Reward 100 Guineas. There is a full moon."--British Museum online catalogue

"A companion plate to British Museum Satires no. 14103. Alderman Wood takes the Queen's left arm, staring down at her and grinning. He wears a top-hat on the back of his head, black tail-coat with trousers; his left hand is thrust under the buttons of his double-breasted coat. He wears an order and a star on which the Queen's head is depicted (see British Museum Satires no. 13810). From her neck hang twin miniatures: Bergami and Wood. Her dress is a modified version of that in British Museum Satires no. 14103: between open over-dress and Turkish trousers is a frilled petticoat reaching well below the knee; her feathered hat resembles that worn at her 'trial'. They stand in a wooded landscape with goats and rabbits in the middle distance. In the background, on the edge of a lake, is the tiny figure of Bergami, both arms raised."--British Museum online catalogue

"Scene outside the closed iron gate of Covent Garden Theatre. A smartly dressed man swaggers tipsily and jovially along, both arms raised; clutching his arm is a dejected companion in a drunken torpor, fashionably dressed, and wearing a blue cloak lined with red over his evening suit. In the foreground (right) a well-dressed man reclines against a step, drunk and jovial, a battered top-hat on the pavement beside him. An old watchman stoops to lift him up. Behind them a fourth toper is jovially attempting to fight a watchman holding lantern and rattle, while a brother-watchman raises his staff. On the left a fat John Bullish fellow tries to waltz with a pretty little courtesan, while a second girl picks his pocket and holds up in triumph a watch and seals. Both are smartly dressed, wearing big feathered hats. Behind them an old bawd walks along taking by the arm a seedy rake. On the wall are playbills both headed Theatre Royal Covent Garden, [1] Tomorrow Night The Blue Devils [1798] Love's Labour Lost [2] The Road to Ruin [1792, see BM Satires 8074] Fortune's Frolic [1799]."--British Musem online catalogue
