"Two designs divided by a vertical line. [1] The dandy (cf. No. 13029) sits in a squalid room, complacently adjusting his cravat in a small mirror fixed to the fire-jamb. He wears high collar, stays, with shirt-frill tied over them, short wide trousers, remnants of socks. His high-heeled spurred boots, blacking-brush, and pot stand on the boarded floor, with an open book: 'The Beau[x] Stratagem' [Farquhar's comedy]. On a small table is a paper: 'Mr Dandy for washing &c a Collar --, a -- D°, a -- D°, a-- D°'; by this is a big key (substitute for a watch) with dangling ribbon and seals. A bowl of water stands on a stool; his coat hangs from his chair, umbrella and caped overcoat (on a coat-hanger) hang against the wall. The dandy umbrella in this and other prints is tightly rolled, unlike the gamp of the period. On the chimney-piece are medicine-bottles. [2] Completely dressed, with seals dangling, he bows from the waist, looking through an eyeglass with a complacent smile. His hat conceals a bald crown."--British Museum online catalogue
