"The Duke of Clarence dances with a tall thin girl (right), holding both her hands; they face each other in profile. He is unrecognizable, a plainly dressed short and obese John Bull. She wears a cross suspended from a long necklace. The room, with boarded floor and small musicians' gallery, suggests an English provincial assembly-room rather than a Russian palace. Two couples stand against the wall (left), a lady and her partner sit on a bergère (right); a man stands near them. Two of the men have moustaches, as an indication that they are foreigners. All are much amused at the ill-matched partners."--British Museum online catalogue

"A handsome rakish-looking man (left) puts his arms round the waist of a good-looking young woman, who draws away from him. Their words, in large labels above their heads, are from verses in the 'Examiner', 10 Jan. 1813 (by Tom Moore) [reprinted, 'The Twopenny Post-Bag', 1813, pp. 83-5, with an additional verse by the lady on 'an old Marquis [Headfort], in mischief grown hoary']: He (the first and last of four verses): "Come fly to these arms, nor let beauties so bloomy To one frigid owner be tied, The Prudes may revile, and the old ones look gloomy, But dearest we've Law on our side. . . . And ev'n should our sweet violation of duty By cold blooded jurors be tried, They can but bring it in, a "Misfortune" my beauty As long as we've Law on our side." She: "Hold! Hold my good Sir! go a little more slowly For grant I thus guiltily sigh'd, Such sinners as we are a little to lowly To hope to have Law on our side. Had you been a great Prince, to whose star shining oe'er 'em, Then people should look for thier [sic] guide, Then your Highness (and welcome) might kick down decorum, You'd always have Law on your side. . . . But for you Sir Crim Con. is a path full of troubles, By my advice therefore abide And leave the pursuit to those princes and nobles Who have such a Law on their side." On the right the Prince walks off in back view between Lady Hertford and Ellenborough, in wig and gown. He takes Ellenborough's left arm, his left arm is round Lady Hertford, whose right arm is round the Prince, her profile turned possessively towards him. Ellenborough declaims: "Too busy Senates with an over care, "To make us better than our kind can bear, "Have dash'd a spice of Envy in the laws, "And straining up to high have spoil'd the cause; "Yet some wise Nations break the cruel chains, "And own no laws but those which Love ordains."

Plate from 'Town Talk', iv. 247. A procession of coaches through 'Cavendish Square', the houses of which form a background, together with a street which recedes in perspective on the left. The foremost coach (right) has a roof shaped like a Chinese pagoda and decorated with bells; on the apex is a seat occupied by an ape, dressed as a man, who rings a handbell and blows a horn. Bells are attached to the springs of the coach. The arms, surmounted by a coronet, are crossed whips, the crest a fool's head. A man seated on the box turns to the driver to say: "No bad scheme of Sr Harry's to get the Amateur [Coates] to perform today! tolerable attendance." The driver wears a conical hat with a vast brim, manifold capes, and a large nosegay, with top-boots. Two servants sit in the rumble; one points to the ape, saying, "What do you think Tom of our new fellow Servant! did Master get him from Bond Street." The other answers: "Oh No! hes not one of the Loungers [see No. 8377, &c.] Master had him from Exeter Change [menagerie] he has been well educated you see." The second equipage is the odd-shaped curricle of 'Romeo' Coates, see No. 11768, &c., drawn by four horses, whose harness, like the curricle, is decorated with cocks. He is dressed as Lothario, see No. 11769, &c., with three huge feathers towering from his hat. He says: "I scorn that odious uniform which would hide the graces of my form and those detestable boots would spoil a most delectable leg!--Bless us! how we draw, out of the theatre as well as in." The following coach is on the extreme left; its roof is a four-sided pinnacle topped with a spike; the driver is dressed like the man on the first coach. He says (of Coates): "I'll back him to spar with Molineaux at St Martins Court for the benefit of Carter." The man beside him answers: "Aye my Lord! or I'll take the chance of the day for my debt, and remove the execution from your carriage and horses." A man on horseback in the background shouts: "your lordship had better take the Opera House, as it will be for a charitable purpose." The road is crowded with spectators many of whom wave their hats. Tiny coaches proceed along the Square from right to left, to join the procession. In the foreground is a row of well-dressed spectators in back view. Shouts rise from the distant crowd: "The Hobbies! The Hobbies"; "Cock a-doodle do"; "The Monologue"; "Bravo Romeo." On the extreme right is the gilt equestrian statue of the Duke of Cumberland, erected in 1770.--British Museum onlne catalogue

Design in an oval. 'Cits' fish in a small piece of water bordered by a fence with a high railing on the left, beyond which is a road flanked by a high wall. Across the water (right) is a house with a high-pitched roof. Five men, three of whom are smoking, fish in the foreground in close proximity, two others on the farther side; an eighth (left) approaches carrying his rod. This appears to be the extreme north corner of the reservoir, where it is narrowest. Cf. British Museum online catalogue

"A fat Dutchman (right), with left leg raised high, has kicked Napoleon into the air, towards a large exulting Devil crouching before the flames of Hell (left). Napoleon's bicorne is falling to the ground, his sword flies up, attached to the belt. The Devil grasps Napoleon by the left ankle. He is a naked satyr with hairy legs, barbed tail, fierce talons, as in British Museum Satires No. 6283 by Rowlandson. The Dutchman holds a goblet above his head, in his left hand is a long tobacco-pipe. He wears the usual bulky breeches with short jacket, and has a big (orange) cockade in his high-crowned hat. In the background a second Dutchman lunges forward with a pitchfork pressed against the posterior of Joseph, who runs screaming towards the flames, his crown on the ground behind him. The scene is the sea-shore, with three ships (right) at anchor."--British Museum online catalogue
