A Hyde Park scene illustrating the development in costume since the plate for 1818 (See British Museum satire 13055). The figures seem to be portraits as well as types. The men wear exaggerated hats. A dandy on the left has his hands in his trouser pockets. Collars are more pointed, and cravats and coat collars are higher. The women's dresses are still high-waisted, but now reach to the feet and more bell-shaped. The women no longer tip-toe and the stoop, less pronounced. Those riding and driving in the middle distance include Lord Petersham (left) who drives a high gig, with a groom at his side. The Persian Ambassador is riding with two of his suite (right).

"A family party walking past the entrance to Bagnigge Wells: A fat citizen, his wig awry and dripping with perspiration, carries a little girl who holds a whip. His stout wife walks behind (right) holding a fan in one hand, a tasselled cane in the other, she smiles complacently. In front, a small boy drags a small four-wheeled chair in which sits a doll-like child holding a doll. The background is the corner of a brick house (right) showing part of a bow-window inscribed "Dealer in Coffee", and a gate inscribed "Bagnigge Wells" with an ogive-shaped decoration surmounting the architrave. Behind are trees. The design evidently derives from Hogarth's "Evening".-- British Museum online catalogue

The courtroom scene from Act 4, Scene 1 of Merchant of Venice when Portia reminds Shylock that the bond only allows him a pound of flesh, and makes no allowances for blood. Shylock, standing with a knife in his right hand and scales in his right, registers the disappointment and shock in his expression as he stands before Portia disguised as Balthasar, holding the bond. They are flanked by Antonio and Bassanio. In the background, the judge sits at his bench, his finger to his forehead. Below the title, Portia's lines: Have by some surgeon, Shylock, on your charge to stop his wounds lest he should bleed to death. Followed by Shylock's lines: Is it so nominated in the bond?
