An elderly couple (right), plainly dressed in a very old-fashioned manner, watch with shocked dismay an over-dressed Frenchwoman who takes by the wrist an equally over-dressed girl, making her curtsey, as she does herself. Their dresses are high-waisted, flounced, and vandyked, with neck-ruffles and short puffed sleeves. Both wear huge bonnets with erect cylindrical crowns, grotesquely trimmed, long gloves, each with a reticule dangling from the arm. A French servant in livery (left) stands chapeau-bras, a band-box slung from his arm, shrugging his shoulders to express horrified surprise. A plainly dressed young girl standing behind her aunt grins in astonishment at the visitors. The room is panelled and carpeted, with one side-table, and is probably a hall or ante-room in a country house

"A crowded interior. An old maid, grotesquely lean, spectacled, and hideous, sits in an arm-chair beside her fire (left) on which a concoction in a saucepan boils over, surrounded by fierce flames. This she stirs with a spoon but turns to the right to pore over the recipe, which is in her left hand. One bare foot with deformed toes rests on a stool beside which are a spike-toed high-heeled shoe and a stocking. A table beside her and the floor below it are crowded with bottles, jars, and medicaments, with a pestle and mortar and a lighted candle. The candle sets fire to her cap, and the flame reaches a little bird-cage hanging from the ceiling. A cat walks under her petticoats; a tiny lap-dog lies in a cushioned band-box lid at her feet. A second cat claws towards a mouse which runs up the pole of a perch on which stands, a draggled and angry cockatoo. A pug-dog also looks up at the bird. Against the wall is a stuffed cat in a glass case; above it is a burlesque picture of Susanna and the Elders. A neat curtained bed is on the right. The chimney-piece is decorated with Diana (burlesqued) urging on the hounds to seize Actæon. On it are three peacock's feathers, bottles, spills, a shell, a Chinese mandarin, &c. The fireplace is lined with pictorial Dutch tiles."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"Three separate scenes blend into a single design. The dialogue is etched in the lower margin. On the left a young girl sits on the knee of her father, a stout drink-blotched man wearing a plain old-fashioned wig, breeches, and top-boots. She takes his chin, saying insinuatingly: Lord, Papa! you must let us go to the Continent ; Mrs Thingamary says we shall never be accomplished till we have seen the Paris manners and customs. A round mirror is topped by a coronet. In the centre two dandies stand on a London pavement, against a background of tall houses. One, dressed in French fashion, with a moustache, a small hat perched on curls, and trousers pinched at the knee, stands with folded arms and a theatrical scowl. The other, wearing strapped trousers, tail-coat, and bell-shaped top-hat, smokes a cigar and holds a riding-whip; he asks: Well, Charles, where are you off to? Answer: O! moy dear feller, to Paris--to Paris, moy dear feller; nothing like Paris --there you have the--the--the--Je ne sçais quoi, moy dear feller, the--the every thing the every-thing!!-- On the right two ladies sit facing each other across a small round table. One wears a huge hat with broad flat brim trimmed with ribbon loops and streamers, the other a hat with wide brim bent bonnet-wise; both have big gigot sleeves, and full skirts. Below: Lord, ma'am! you are not serious,--you can never think of going to Margate--it is so common every tailor, shoemaker, and linendraper goes to Margate--No, no ma'am; Paris is the great resort of pure gentility, I assure you.--I always goes to Paris."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
