In a courtyard of Christ Church (Oxford), undergraduates in cap and gown dance around a bonfire, fueled by doors, chairs, and tables carried from the surrounding buildings. Other students pull at ropes to drag a statute of Mercury towards the flames. From the windows on either side of the gateway students throw objects including a globe and a chamber pot, while another blows a trumpet. Groups of students dance wildly as they drink and riot

"Three revellers are lighted home by a watchman who walks beside them holding his lantern and looking sideways at them with quizzical contempt. A tall fashionably dressed and dishevelled man walks between two young women, also fashionably dressed; one holding a large muff takes his right arm; the other wears his bell-shaped top-hat, while he wears, back to front, her large feathered bonnet. They are lit from a street lamp, part of the post of which is on the extreme left in the foreground, while dawn lightens the dark sky. A large shuttered window in a corner house forms a background."--British Museum online catalogue

"A similar scene to BM Satires 14721, with awkward, exhibitionist, and dandified riders in place of carriages; one pedestrian, a lady, is in the foreground (right). Legs are thrust forward, toes turned out, down, or up. A man gallops holding one rein and an eye-glass with studied negligence, his left hand in his trouser pocket. Beside him is a lady, turning in her saddle to look through an eye-glass; a long green veil streams from her bell-shaped top-hat. A horse falls on its head, the falling man is taking snuff. Two dogs fight in the foreground. There are heavy clouds."--British Museum online catalogue
