Abstract:
"A handsome young courtesan sits by the fire, her legs crossed indecorously, her breast bare; she has a decanter at her elbow, and holds a glass of wine. Standing on each side of her are her jailor, holding a bunch of keys, and a hideous old woman; both drink. Over the chimney-piece is a placard: 'Mac Nab Sherrifs Officer for the County of Middlesex--Genteel Accomodation for Ladies and Gentlem[en]'. The door (left) is heavily bolted, and has an iron grille; the large, partly curtained window is massively barred."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"A grotesquely fat woman, much decolletee, sits at a piano (left) singing and playing, her left foot on the pedal. With upturned eyes and gaping mouth she sings: "Just like love ..." [three times]. Her music book is open at: 'Just like Love a Favorite Song Sung by Mr Braham'. A fat man in old-fashioned dress, standing just behind her, his hands raised in surprise, turns to address two younger men who are fashionably dressed. He asks: "Don't my Lady play and Sing delightfully? she was finished under the famous Sigr Squawlletti." The man on the extreme right, holding his friend's arm, says: "By G- if the Signior had been under my Lady she would have finish'd him! would'nt She Sir Thomas." The other laughs: "Ha! Ha! Ha! come that's a good one!"--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A sequence of six scenes in compartments arranged in three pairs. [1] A foal lies beside its dam. [2] The owner leads the high-stepping animal across a race-course; behind (right) is the weighing-post. [3] Ridden by a huntsman he takes a flying leap over a wall; hounds run beside the animal. [4] He is one of a pair of galloping horses in a post-chaise, ridden by a postilion. An ugly couple sleep uneasily in the chaise. [5] As an emaciated pack-horse he plods along a rough track, thrashed by a coarse old peasant woman. [6] A huntsman stands on his dead body, cutting off the flesh for the hounds; carrion birds hover."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"An aged man with a Jewish profile unlocks a large padlock on an iron-studded door under a vaulted portico. Beside him stands a man dressed like a sailor with a basket of poultry and fish on his head, and a straw-covered flask in his hand. An area railing is also padlocked, but behind the railing is a handsome young officer on a ladder, helping a pretty girl out of the window.

Design'd and pubd. by T. Rowlandson, N. 1 James Street, Adelphi
"A country dance; eighteen couples in a strip design in the manner of the 'Long Minuet' (No. 7229), dance with awkward vigour; one of the most active ladies has a wooden leg. The first couple (left) face each other, the lady squinting violently. On the right a man turns eagerly from his elderly and offended partner to a young lady, whose partner also holds the hand of another lady, while an elderly man stands alone on the extreme right, holding his wig, and mopping his bald head. The elder men wear powdered hair with small pigtails, the younger ones have frizzed hair without powder, short or with small tails. Only one or two wear wigs. The women wear simple high-waisted gowns with elbow sleeves and long gloves; one wears a hat and long sleeves. All wear flat-heeled shoes, and have frizzed hair, short, or piled on the head; a few wear feathered bandeaux; one lady only has powdered hair. Some have strange hair ornaments: a fat and very decolletee lady with a lap-dog under her arm wears round her erect bush of hair a circlet from which project barbed zigzags, like lightning flashes. A youngish lady has on her head a bird with a barbed fang; an older one in spectacles wears a small windmill behind two drooping aigrettes. The neglected lady wears a tiny wheat-sheaf, her pretty rival a ship in full sail. Below the title: 'What an elegant Set-What a bustling of Rumps! What a Sweet Toe to Toe-ing of Slipers and Pumps! At the sight my Old Drumsticks are ready to Prance There is nothing I love so as seeing Folks Dance.'':--British Museum online catalogue
