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

"A dandy lies back fainting in a chair, his limbs rigid, supported by three others while a fourth (left) draws the curtain, cutting off a view of the (distant) stage where a singer is posturing. The three supporters say: "I am so frighten'd I can hardly stand!"; "mind you dont soil the Dear's linnen," and, "I dread the consequence! that last Air of Signeur Nonballenas has thrown him in such raptures, we must call a Doctor --[a name has been erased] immediately!" The last holds a bottle of 'Eau de Colonge' [sic] to the patient's nostril. The fourth turns to say: "I must draw the curtain or his screams will alarm the House--you have no fello feeling my dear fellos, pray unlace the dear loves Stays, and lay him on the Couch." The box is large with couch (right) and table with decanters, dish of peaches, and two candles. On the floor beside a low-crowned hat is a fan. The four dandies register consternation. All are dressed in the usual manner, two wear wide short trousers, the others tight breeches or pantaloons. For dandies as epicene creatures see also Nos. 13239, 13394, 13447."--British Museum online catalogue
