- Abstract:
- A similar scene to BM Satires 14723, on a London pavement. A tailor meets a Frenchified friend, who fingers his high stock. The dialogue: Ah! Jack--! How are ye?-- Devilish well--just crost the water--been to Paris!--Well & how did 'ye like the Cooking? --Confounded good--'pon my soul--Liked their Harrico-Blong-best--What's Harrico Blong! Why you know what Harrico--is don't ye ?--To be sure! It's Mutton Chops & Carrots & Turnips--with wedgables--Very well then! That's it & Blong-- you know's the name o' the first Cook as made it. The tailor, instead of the lean slippered fellow of earlier prints, is fat and almost well-dressed (though vulgar), with watch-chain and seal. He holds a bag; scissors, tape, and pattern-book project from his pocket. On the edge of the pavement facing the houses, partly cut off by the right margin, is a sandwich-man, the first in these prints; besides the usual placard on a pole, he has a board on his back. He is an old sailor with a wooden leg, and ragged, contemptuously amused at the couple. On his placard: Paris & Dover Cheap & Expeditious Travelling Reduced Fares. The board (half): Cov[? entry] Birm[ingham] Boar & . . . Bull. . . White [? Horse Cellar, see BM Satires 14355, &c.] A bull-dog walks on the pavement. On the left a couple (French or in French costume) walk arm-in-arm; glancing back in silent amusement at the two men. Behind are two shops, opposite numbers of those in BM Satires 14723. [1] Bonbons--Patissier--et--Confisseur [sic]. Bottles and jelly-glasses are in the window, with notices: Jellies; Glaces; Diner a la Carte; Déjeune a la Fourchette. Above is a cockatoo in a cage. [2] J. Bullock's Eating House--Alamode Beef. A fat cook stands in the doorway laughing at the two men. Above the door: Genteel Dining Rooms Up Stairs. The window is filled with Hams, Tongues. In a smaller window on the right of the door is a notice: Attics to Lett. Notice-boards lean against the front of the building: [1] Humbug Theatre--Travellers Benighted--Bumo-- Chapter of Blunders. [2] Sadl[er's] We[lls]. [3] Hamiltonion [sic] Lectures-- Languages-- [4] Davis's Royal Amphitheatre Billy Button or the Hunted Tailor --Manager's Last Kick--Real Asses [see BM Satires 11762].

- The fishwives stalls are in the foreground with the masts of ship vessels behind, and among them one tall smoking funnel. The market buildings are on the right. The foreground is more crowded than in other Billingsgate prints. The chief feature is an irate woman seated on an upturned tub beside her stall, berating a lady in a riding-habit who holds a huge fish's head. Beside the latter is another lady, disconcerted. Two liveried servants are amond the crowd. Lady Caroline Lamb and a young marchioness, both 'in disguise', go to the market to hear the traditional language of the fishwives, this Lady Caroline provokes by disparaging a fish. On the left is a fashionably dressed young man, resembling R.C. On the left, a drunken woman sits with her glass raised. From British Museum catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Two designs side by side. BALL ROOM. A repetition of British Museum satires no. 14646 [2]. The M.C. has no wand, but holds an opera-hat; he says: 'Will you accept of this Lady for a partner, Sir?' The hussar, who lounges with hands in pockets and both legs over the back of a chair, answers: 'Shew her off!--Trot her out!! let us see her foine legs'. A civilian standing behind the lady (left) laughs: 'Ha! Ha! Ha! So this is one of the extra polite Dandies of the Tenth'. Two fellow officers stand beside the first. One says: 'No! Tenth don't daunce!!' [cf. British Museum satires no. 14643A]. The other inspects the lady through an eyeglass, saying, 'Zounds, Dam-me!' DRAWING ROOM. The lady of the ball-room stands beside another; both are young and pretty and in ball-dress. The officer (right) bows from the waist, pointing the left toe, left hand on hip and holding up an eye-glass. He is without pelisse and sword. The second lady, holding up a fan, says: 'Sir this is the Lady you desired me to Trot up to you.' The lady in question also bends from the waist, pointing a toe, inspecting the officer through an eye-glass. She holds a lighted candle, saying, 'No--Wont do! Trot him out!!--Trot him out!!'"--British Museum online catalogue

In its descent it has knocked down the Proctor, who sits on the pavement, the woman falling on top of him. A 'bull-dog' with a constable's staff flashes a lantern on the window and on the woman; another stands just behind.
