"Scene in Assembly Rooms. Three dandies (cf. No. 13029), with the heads respectively of ape, ass, and dog, walk arm-in-arm towards a buffet in a recess (right). The first wears tight evening pantaloons and carries an opera-hat, the others wears hats, trousers (one gathered at the ankle, the other short and wide), and spurred boots, and carry canes. Two pretty and elegant ladies, arm-in-arm (left), watch with amused contempt; one looks through a lorgnette, saying, "What things! non descripts, brought here by the Discovery Ships, Esquimeaux." Below the title: 'Behold ye Dandies, scum of manly race An Ape, an Ass, a Puppy, dress'd like Beaux So in a Glass, Face answers unto Face, That here, each Dandy his own Portrait Shows.'"--British Museum online catalogue

"A corner of a room hung with unframed canvasses is a background for five men, all in profile to the left. Four closely inspect a picture of two vast pigs lying outside a thatched hovel. The foremost, an old man, peers through spectacles held reversed; in his left hand is a 'Catalogue of Pictures by Morl...'. He is identified in the 'Illustrative Description', 1830, and by Grego, as Captain Baillie, the engraver and connoisseur, by Wright and Evans conjecturally as J. J. Angerstein. Behind is a profile identified as that of Mitchell, a banker; next is Caleb Whitefoord, looking through his glass (see BMSats 8169, 8725, &c). Behind him stands George Baker, a patron of English water-colour painters [print collector and bibliophile], holding a paper on which the word 'Pigs' is legible. Standing apart, with a grossly fat nan pressed on a canvas which he raises from the wall, is Mortimer, a picture-dealer and restorer. He puffs and spits from coarse protruding lips a picture, the head and shoulders of an enormous boar. The pictures burlesques of Morland's manner: (1) A grossly fat butcher inspects a fat pig displayed by a farmer; (2) a man with a pitchfork drives pigs from a stackyard; (3) a yokel embraces a haymaker in a barn while a braying donkey looks in at the door; (4) a mounted sportsman at an alehouse door takes a glass from a hugely fat woman; (5) a ragged woman with an infant on her back tells a stolid farmer his fortune. On the floor, in front of the connoisseurs, an empty frame and a bulging portfolio labelled 'Sketches from Nature by G. Morland' lean against the wall."--British Museum online catalogue

Two ugly dandies face each other across a round table as they play cards. Both are fashionably dressed. The one on the right says: "Fifteen six, a flush, and his whig, makes me out -pon honor 'tis really astonishing. You are not in luck." His opponent responds: "Prodigious!! then I am diddled again--Monstrous! Oblige me with a pinch of your mixture or I shall expire!" On the wall behind them on the left is a bust portrait of a man in Roman armour inscribed "My Papa!" and on the right, a French window with a full-length curtain. An ornate rug covers the floor

Abstract:
"A dandy entertains a fellow-dandy in a small ramshackle room, the bed turned up against the wall to give space for two chairs and a small round table. Both are very thin and have the high collars and cravats, brushed-up hair, bulging chests, high shoulders, and short waists of the dandy, with ribbons and seals hanging from the fob; both wear short yellow gloves. The host (left) wears tight pantaloons below the calf, the guest puffed-out breeches with top-boots. The table-cloth is ragged, the fare scanty. The host languidly empties a tea-pot into a broken and saucerless cup, the guest elegantly sips his tea, holding the saucer. Between his extended legs is an umbrella (see British Museum Satires No. 13060). The former says: "My Dear Fellow, Mr Sim is your Tea agreeable?" Sim, with spectacles on his forehead, answers: "Charming my Dear Lollena do you buy it?" Ragged garments are pegged on a line stretching across the room. A rat looks from a hole in the floor; beside it is a smoothing-iron. A small casement window shows a row of houses and the dome of St. Paul's."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Six dandies dress in a respectably furnished dressing-room (or bedroom); all are very thin and have grotesquely high collars reaching to or above the ears. One holds a hand-glass to brush up his hair from the back of his neck; he has a small but projecting moustache (see British Museum Satires No. 13029), while a hair-dresser, also dandified, tugs at the laces of his stays. His drawers are stuffed to form posteriors, one false calf is attached to a bare leg; similar artificial aids give a bulge to his thighs; bulging pads encircle the arms to produce the high-shouldered effect, cuffs are attached to his wrists. A completely dressed dandy stands near him, taking snuff with a gloved hand; he says: "Pon honor, Tom you are a charming figure! You'll captivate the Girls to a nicety!!" His friend: "Do you think so Charles?--I shall look more the thing when I get my other calf on." A third dandy sits on a chair, his head forced back by his collar and cravat, trying to insert emaciated legs into voluminous trousers; he says: "D--n it I really believe I must take off my Cravat or I shall never get my trowsers on." At a dressing-table a dandy winds his cravat over his collar, another standing behind him on a chair to see into the glass, is doing the same; he says: "Dear me this is hardly stiff enough I wish I had another sheet of foolscap." The other says: "You'll find some to spare in my breeches (artificially puffed out)." Toilet accessories and clothes are scattered about, including a false calf, boots, boot-jack, &c., two bell-shaped top-hats, an umbrella (see British Museum Satires No. 13060), a pot of 'pain[t]', a wig-block with brushed-up wig."--British Museum online catalogue
