- Abstract:
- "A French dancing-master (l.), holding up his 'kit' or dancing-master's fiddle and bow at arm's length, addresses a group of representative British characters (r.). He says: "Monsieur, Sare, every ting depend pon lam to dance, widout dat you can do no ting at all in dis Worlt, for if you will get a Wife wid great deal Money, eh by Gar! you must dance away to Scotland, if you run in debt ver much, eh by Gar you must dance away from your Creditor, if you want a place from de great Lor, eh by Gar you must dance attendance, oh all de World dance every day, de Frenchman he dance after de Liberté, de Spaniard he dance away from Lor Nelson, den Lor Nelson dance after him, de Italian he dance to de Opera, den dance away wid your Money de Alderman he dance after de Turtle, so voila all de World von grand contré dance." A burly well-dressed Irish fortune-hunter says gloomily: "Arrah my dear Honey! and haven't I danced all the way from Sligo in order to pick up a Tight little partner to Jigg it to Scotland with me, and pay the piper into the bargain by Jasus to be sure I have." A raffish man, in ill-fitting clothes of fashionable intention, says: "Thats a Devilish good Hint, Monseer, so I'll lead off, without waiting for a partner, or some of my Creditors will be for Calling the Dance." A fat ugly 'cit' says: "O dear Heart! I could dance 20 miles after Turtle, in spite of the Gout." He raises one gouty foot in a slashed shoe. A bare-footed Scot takes snuff, saying, "Ah! the Mon says Vary true, I have been dancing attendance on a great Laird these twa Year and ha got nothing but promises. I be na so lucky as my Friend Johnny M'Cree" [Melville, see BMSat 10378]. A sturdy sailor ('Jack Bull'), taking a quid from his tobacco-box, looks with fierce appraisal at the Frenchman, and says: "They have led us a preetty dance sure enough, but shiver my timbers if we Won't make [sic] sing out for it when we do catch them". Behind (r.), a capering French opera dancer holds up a full purse, saying, "Good bye Jack Bull I go dance home wid de Guiné!" After the title: '"Thus Life is like a Country Dance, the World a spacious Ball Room'' - Dibdin'."--British Museum online catalogue, description of state with S.W. Fores imprint

- "George IV sits fishing under a little pavilion; his rod is a sceptre, larger than that in Britis Museum Satires No. 15126. He has hooked a frog, which Lady Conyngham, kneeling beside him, is about to scoop with a landing-net. She says: Oh what a beautifull fish! I think its something of the Gudgeon kind, but a most Noble one. A large kingfisher stands on the opposite bank watching them. The King sits on an ornate stool, resting a gouty leg on a smaller one. He wears a bell-shaped top-hat, the plain high-collared coat of recent portraits with knee-breeches. Beside him are creel and bait-box. The pavilion is merely an ornate canopy for his stool, decorated with onion domes like that of the Pavilion, bells, and a crown. Lady Conyngham wears a décolletée dress with long gloves, and roses in her hair. Behind is a realistic view of the Cottage, with a peacock in front of it, and Windsor Castle."--British Museum online catalogue

The first sailor says over his shoulder: "D--n it Jack this is rare sailing without a wind!" The front wheel collides with a dandy (left), who has dropped his steering-bar (which has dropped to the ground) and is about to fall off. Jack answers: "A very pretty invention Tom! D--n it we shall run down the Dandy!" The dandy (cf. No. 13029) shouts: "Curse you you tarpaulins Wy don't you mind how you steer." One of the women holds a bottle and glass; she looks back saying: "Vy Poll this beats the Dilly [diligence]!! Vy Poll it' s capsized!!" Poll sits back with folded arms, one leg resting on the second sailor's shoulder. She answers: "And we have capsized a Dandy!!" In the background (right) a mail-coach lies on its side; men, women, and luggage from the outside are on the ground; an inside passenger tries to climb from the window."--British Museum online catalogue
