Two sets of four dance as before but the ladies and their partners stand alternately, instead of two ladies being together in the middle of each row. A lady playing a harp sits on the settee, a man stands beside her. A man facing the fireplace ties his cravat; another reaches up with a cane, perhaps to adjust the gas which issues from two serpents decorating the top of the mirror, on which stand also two lamps with globes and chimneys. In place of the chinoiserie chandeliers against the wall are two pictures, one of a couple turning together (as in No. 12925) against an architectural background, one of three naked savages posturing outside their tents. There is a hanging chandelier with gas or oil lamps with globes and chimneys."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "British households are represented by large straw bee-hives; these are assailed by tax-collectors and their satellites who run through the air in a swarm. One hive is in the foreground (right), the two next are in the middle distance, with a line of little hives in the distance, curving to the left margin. John Bull, ragged but chubby, stands defiantly on the step of his hive, defending it with a stake shaped like a rough pitchfork and inscribed 'Prop of Reform'; with this he prods the foremost collector, who drops book and pen in dismay. Behind him in the doorway is his wife, brandishing a poker, while three ragged and terrified small children cluster round the door. Other tax-gatherers assail the upper part of the hive; one has made a hole in the straw and puts in his hand; he has already seized honey. Another man departs with chunks of honeycomb, but his coat-tails are clutched by a man who leans from a hole in the hive. Another collector runs through the air, laden with spoil. More of the swarm are still advancing, holding pen and book or paper. One, holding up a constable's staff, holds out a 'Warrant [of] Distress . . John Bull' [scarcely legible]; another has a huge book inscribed 'Poor's Rate'. Other books are inscribed 'Kings Tax' and 'Assess'd Taxes'. One man holds out a paper inscribed 'Snatch Broker & Sworn Appraiser'. The men recede in perspective towards the upper left corner of the design, from which the swarm is descending upon the hives. A tax-gatherer enters the door of the second hive, while another stands on the upper part nailing on it a placard: 'Kings Taxes'. In the foreground (right) beside the hive a broken cord drops from a clothes-prop weighted down with tattered garments. On the left is a smoking manure-heap inscribed 'Ministrial Dung-hill'; on this lies a paper, 'Prope[rty] Tax' [now removed, see British Museum Satires No. 12750, &c.], and from it grow toadstools inscribed 'Place, Pension', and 'Sinecure'."--British Museum online catalogue

A very slim man in court-dress, with powdered queue, dances with a lady who holds up the train of a limp gown. Behind them is the musicians' gallery supported on two palm-tree pillars, round which serpents are twined from whose mouths gas-flames issue. A life-like 'Terpsichore' supports the drapery of the box, which is inscribed 'On the light fantastic toe'. The front of the box is decorated with fantastic dancing figures, including a Red Indian, a Harlequin, a Punch; some are in lines and dots (cf. No. 12955). The instruments are flutes, bagpipes, harp, violins, 'cello, oboe, French horn. On the right: [6] 'German Waltz', an ugly couple, her hands on his shoulders, his on her waist. [7] 'French Quadrille'. One man and three ladies face three men and one lady. [8] 'Spanish Boliero'. A couple dance, clicking castanets, the man wears slashed doublet with knee-breeches. [9] 'Ballet Italienne'. Two dancers, each poised on a toe, leg extended, holding between them a long garland of roses. Beside them dances a little Italian greyhound. The wall which forms a background is covered with pictures, flanking the gallery. 'Dancing Dogs': a man with a whip directs five dressed-up dogs on their hind-legs. 'Dancing Bear'. A man holds the muzzled bear on a chain; a dressed-up monkey capers on the bear's head; a boy plays pipe and tabor. 'Dancing Horse'. On the stage of an equestrian theatre a man in light horse uniform, a clown behind him, directs the movements of a horse. 'Rope Dancing'. A woman ascends a slanting tight-rope, while rockets explode around her. 'St Vitus's Dance'. A fat doctor, smelling his cane, holds the pulse of a capering and emaciated invalid. 'Dancing Mad'. Two men leap or prance frantically in rage or despair, while a third capers at the end of a rope by which he hangs from a gibbet."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "The Princess of Wales and her suite in a carriage drawn by six horses arrive at the porte-cochère of the British Embassy in Vienna. At the gate and in front of the horses is a mounted groom or outrider blowing a trumpet, from which issue the words: 'Vite! Vite!! 7 Lits de Maitre--13-- de Domestique--!!' Facing him is a fat porter, who keeps one leaf of the gate shut, and answers: "Sein Excellenz ist nich zu haus--!!!" Over the archway are the Royal Arms, the lion (burlesqued) and unicorn look down scandalized at the carriage, in which the Princess turns to Pergami who sits on her right, saying, "This Palace will lodge us well Sir Bergamot." Her plump breasts are displayed, and she wears a turban with a jewelled aigrette. Bergami wears hussar uniform with a furred dolman, and a bunch of orders hanging from his tunic. Facing the Princess sits little Willy Austin (see British Museum Satires No. 12027) wearing a round peaked cap; a lady wearing a tasselled cap like a smoking-cap sits next him. On the box are a foreign servant in quasi-military uniform and cockaded top-hat and a turbaned negro, with two big pistols in his sash. The negro puts his arm across the other's shoulders; both grin, as do two negro servants seated in the rumble with drawn swords; these also wear turbans, and are armed with pistols. Two postilions, French in type, flourish their whips; they wear huge jack-boots and large plumed cocked hats; the spirited horses have received a sudden check. The door-panel of the carriage, an open barouche is covered with the Royal Arms with the Prince's feathers. A stout peasant woman and a little boy (left) watch the cavalcade with astonishment; two dogs bark. Part of the Embassy forms a background: two rows of windows, the lower ones heavily barred."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
