- Abstract:
- "Groups of dancers practise figures of a cotillion in a ballroom with a small musician's gallery supported on pillars, in which are an oboist, two violinists, and a harpist, playing intently and paying no attention to a man who stands below, with outstretched arms, shouting directions. The room is lit by candles in wall brackets. In the centre of the balcony is an oval medallion: a man plays a lyre and three nude nymphs dance. Several of the dancers hold papers of directions headed 'Cotilion', with a description of figures '1' to '8'. The scene is one of confusion. On the left persons stand inspecting the dancers. One man only is dressed as a blood of the period with cropped hair, high-collared waistcoat, 'hanging collar', and long breeches (see British Museum Satires No. 8040, &c). He stands (left) superciliously inspecting the dancers through an eye-glass."--British Museum online catalogue and The pictures in the image amplify the subject: Nymphs dancing to music of lyre

- Abstract:
- "Eight groups or couples display different dances, the names of which are in the lower margin. On the extreme left stands [1] a 'Dancing Master', thin, dandified, stooping, arms dropped, fiddle and bow in left hand, feet turned out. [2] 'Country Dance'. Three couples, 'hands across'. [3] 'Scots Reel' A man in Highland dress dances between two women in a six-hand reel. [4] 'Irish Jig'. Three bandy-legged peasants jig: man (holding up a 'Whiskey' bottle), woman, and small boy who drinks from a glass and holds a large shillelagh. [5] The centre-piece: 'La Minuet'. 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:
- "A provincial Assembly Room. A musicians' gallery (right) is above a recess which is the entrance from the street. In this a young woman changes pattens for dancing-shoes, supporting herself on the arm of a stout woman with a pin-cushion slung from her arm. A lighted lantern stands on the floor. In the foreground a couple advances from this entry, meeting a younger pair. In the background against the wall couples are dancing, facing each other, the man holding his partner's wrist. An absurd couple on a settee (left) flirt, the lady holding a tumbler, the man fanning her. Behind, two men delightedly inspect a paper headed 'Election 1812'. On the wall is a bill: 'Sir Toby Spendall returns his most grateful thanks to the worthy Freemen for thier kind support during the late Election.' From the pocket of an elderly man near the door hang two papers: 'State of the Pole' and 'To the Worthy Freemen'. In the foreground (right) a pair of half-boots, a cane, and a hat lie together. The room is lit by hanging candelabra and candle-sconces."--British Museum online catalogue
