"Twelve single figures arranged in two rows, their complacent soliloquies etched above their heads, e.g. [3] An ugly woman dressed in a travesty of the fashion, with one large feather in her hair, large ear-rings, and an enormous oval miniature slung from her neck, holds up a small parasol, projecting at an angle from its clumsy stick. She says: "True happiness undoubtedly consists in an elegant taste for the Bon Ton." [4] A stout ugly woman says: "Though I am none of your flan dan Ladies I believe I can buy one half of them." One of a set."--British Museum online catalogue

"Three revellers sit at a small round table on which is a large punch-bowl, each holding a full glass. A fat man in an arm-chair (right), full-face, each gouty bandaged leg supported on a stool, his left hand bandaged, and wearing a dressing-gown, with jovially contorted features, declaims the first part of the title. His neighbour, a young woman with her hand clasping her waist, declaims the second part. A wretched invalid (left), with stick-like limbs, looking on the verge of the grave, repeats the last part. The words, inscribed in scrolls, form the only title. They are the words of an old catch which continues: 'And is by all agreed the very best of physic' A patterned carpet, and cast shadows on a plain wall, complete the design."--British Museum online catalogue, description of the print of which this is a copy
