Abstract:
"A grotesquely obese man (his hat placed under his plump knees) kneels at the feet of an ugly and bedizened woman, fantastically lean and tall. She holds up a fan, and looks down alluringly at her lover to whom she gives her left hand. They are in the circular portico of a 'Mausoleum' (right). In the background is an avenue and a statue of Hercules, towards which a fat woman and a lean parson of the Dr. Syntax type are walking arm-in-arm. The muscular Hercules is contrasted with the four other types of physique represented."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"Two Thames watermen pull a pair-oar wherry towards riverside stairs, much amused at the effects of the wind on a fat 'cit' and a pretty young woman whom he is leading out of the boat. His hat and wig blow off, as does her hat, while her parasol is blown inside out. Other fat and elderly grotesques on the stairs (right) chase hats and wigs. Two comely young women sit in the stern (left). The houses by the stairs are ancient and small. The river is wide; on the opposite side (left) are buildings closely grouped round a large church, and suggesting Southwark."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"One of the landing stairs on the river. A gale is blowing, and the boats are dancing about. The watermen are pulling a skiff to the stairs; at the same moment a breeze is blowing off a parson's wig and hat, and carrying away his fair companion's parasol, bonnet, &c.

A macabre caricature divided into two compartments, The Dandy and The Dangle. On the left, a strutting dandy ties his neckcloth in front of a mirror saying: 'I declare these large Neckcloths are monstrously handy, They [serve] for a shirt too and make one a Dandy.' The right hand image is of a dandy, head covered in a cloth, dangling from a wooden beam with a tie around his neck. Behind him is a town square and in the foreground, a crowd looks on. The image is accompanied by the text: 'When a man comes to this there's little to hope, His neat Dandy Neckcloth is changed for a Rope'.

She says: "Sweet little Baby! how it toddles along--Of Bless those pretty legs of thine I am sure thee wilt become Lord Mayor, and may-hap a Member of Parliament"."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
