"The scene is a Drawing-room in the court sense held at the Queen's House (now Buckingham Palace): the men wear court-suits with gold lace and bag-wigs or uniform; above the doorway appears the lower part of a portrait of the Queen enthroned, with one foot on a footstool. On the right is a portrait of the Prince Regent in hussar uniform standing by a charger. In the doorway, which is the centre of the design, an enormously obese man is jammed against an equally obese woman, their paunches dovetailing; she stands on one toe on his gouty foot. Behind them is the inner room, where heads are seen crammed together. In the foreground an officer steps on a lady's train (left) slitting her gown. A hussar officer (right), amused at the struggle in the doorway, drives his sabre against a much-distressed lady. He has a moustache, and is perhaps a German in attendance on the Prince of Hesse-Homburg. Behind is another officer, also with a moustache (cf. No. 13029). On the floor lie fans, a shoe-buckle, the bag from a wig, &c."--British Museum online catalogue

"Above the design: 'A Peep at the French Monstrosities'. Two English tourists, both dressed as dandies (cf. No. 13029), walk arm-in-arm under the arcade of the Palais Royal, interested in the promenading courtesans. Two Frenchmen make more direct overtures to two women. Their dress is rather similar to that of the Englishmen, but the latter wear bell-shaped top-hats, while the Frenchmen have flower-pot shaped hats. An officer wearing a large cocked hat addresses a girl, and a man, said by Reid to be Irish, jovially accosts another. Some of the women are in evening-dress, others in street-costume. Behind are iron railings between the supports of the roof; on one of these is the inscription 'Caveau des Sauvages'."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A sailor heaves a donkey over the railing of a small enclosure, holding its fore-legs across his shoulders, so that the beast looks over his head. Another sailor stoops to support the ass's hindquarters on his own back. A paunchy man wearing top-boots, and with a dog, stands (left) in profile to the right., angrily facing the sailor; he says: "Who gave you authority to release that ass from the Pound". The sailor, who is smoking a pipe, answers: "Why look you master - the thing was this - we saw him aground without Victuals d'ye see and so my messmate and I agreed to Cut his Cable and set him at liberty because we have known before now what it is to be at short allowance"."--British Museum online catalogue
