"A German soldier sits in the front row of a theatre gallery, his hands in a muff. He has moustaches, wears a high fur cap, a cloak, the braided tunic of a hussar, and looks fixedly to the right with a contemptuous frown. Those sitting in the same row turn their heads to look at him; a stout man on the extreme right stares through a glass; those behind stand and stare. Some of those seated below look up."--British Museum online catalogue

"Two women, one tall and pretty, except for her grotesque slimness, the other short, fat, and ugly, wear burlesqued versions of the new fashions. Each walks, holding a glove in the (gloved) right hand, a nosegay in the left hand. Under each is a supplementary title: (left) 'St James's giving the Ton, a Soul without a Body'; (right) 'Cheapside aping the Mode, a Body without a Soul'. The former has a tiny waist, her breasts, lightly covered, project above it. Round her neck is a swathing connected with inflated puffs on her tight sleeves; her form is defined under the limp skirt. Another swathing seems to fasten a high straw scoop-like hat under her chin which shows her hair piled above her forehead. This is trimmed with an erect ostrich feather and a brush-aigrette. She wears sharply pointed slippers. The contour of the other lady, a 'City Fussock', see BMSat 8905, is broad and squat; she looks up with an ogling grin, her mouth half hidden by the swathing at her neck. Her feather, aigrette, and nosegay are much larger than those of her fashionable model. Fat legs and broad feet show under a petticoat which projects from her short waist."--British Museum online catalogue
