A gentleman on the doorstop of a fashionable townhouse is turned away by a black footman in livery who tells him, "Massa not at home!" Two street vendors approach from behind, one of whom offers him tankard with a head of foam and the other further in the distance carries a tray of steaming plates. To the left is a lamp post

"Fog-bound pedestrians collide or fall over objects, on an open road on the outskirts of London. A man falls over a milestone inscribed 1 Mi . . An old woman hurls herself against a post. A man driving a fashionable gig lashes his horse, which a man with a link tries to drag forward. A link-boy walks before a fashionably dressed man. Two birds have collided and are falling; two dogs rush towards each other. A dim sun is the centre of a faint halo. Below the title: "Hover thro' the fog & filthy Air"-- ['Macbeth', I. i]."--British Museum online catalogue

"Promenaders in Hyde Park illustrate these titles. [1] A dandy walks, right to left, jauntily rakish, holding a lorgnette and glove in a gloved hand. He wears a large bell-shaped top-hat, beneath which projects a great tuft of curled hair. Under his arm is a rolled umbrella. [2] A Quaker, in a shallow broad-brimmed hat, walks primly (right to left) with a young (twin) daughter on each arm. He holds a large gamp umbrella, fastened and point downwards. [3] A thin man wearing a long greatcoat and seedy top-hat, walks (left to right) with an expression of acute melancholy. He trails behind him an unfastened umbrella. He faces heavy wind and slanting rain. Beside him is a small dead tree. Near each is an appropriate dog."--British Museum online catalogue

"A scene in Rotten Row, Hyde Park. Three horsemen, the centre one ('Up') in the foreground. He is a cockneyfied dandy and bad (and frightened) horseman: his horse kicks viciously; the girth is broken, the saddle slipping sideways: he has dropped his rein to clutch at the horse's mane; his hat flies off, and though still in the saddle he will inevitably fall awkwardly. A dog barks at him. In the middle distance (left) a dandy rides stiffly, while on the right the third dandy (right) on a caracoling horse resembles Lord Petersham."--British Museum online catalogue
