Abstract:
"Four elderly whist-players, broadly burlesqued. A grotesque woman (left), holding a hand of five low cards in all suits, exclaims (words below the title): "O Lor' Sir! I've | "Lost my Honor!"; she tilts her head so that the aigrette in her turban burns in a candle (unnoticed by the players). Her furious partner: "Then Ma'am You shou'dn't | "have played the Odd Trick. A dandy, warming his back at the fire (left), stares at the conflagration, and an amused footman capers off to the right, tilting a salver."--British Museum online catalogue

"A dandy, with moustache, whisker, and beard, steps gingerly from an archway, one of three lit by hanging lamps, leading from the portico of the King's Theatre, Haymarket, to the street. Water from a spout descends on his top-hat, whence it gushes fore and aft in huge streams. He wears tail-coat, short trousers, and very flimsy pumps; he holds his handkerchief round his coat-collar; his gloves fall to the ground and he steps towards a muddy stream. A link-boy leans as if asleep under the next arch. Two bills are posted: Chelsea Watermains always charged F.P. 16. ft. and Madame Pasta's Benefit Night. Title from Mary Shelley's book, published 1826, cf. British Museum Satires No. 15341."--British Museum online catalogue
