"A dandy, much burlesqued, stands full-face, his head, which has a bird-like profile, turned to the left; his hair is brushed up at the back behind his hat to resemble the tail-feathers of a cock. He wears puffed-out breeches and top-boots with enormous spurs, and holds an umbrella (see No. 13060). A narrow coat-tail hangs between his stick-like legs. His thin arms in tight sleeves project awkwardly, and he wears short yellow (chicken-skin) gloves; a broad patterned strip hangs from his fob, with seals and watch-key. A sign-post among shrubs points 'To Chalk Farm' [Hampstead]. The dome of St. Paul's (left) appears in the distance, and in the middle distance (right) are new suburban houses."--British Museum online catalogue

"Scene in a ramshackle garret. A dandy in a late stage of decay crouches over the fire (where an iron is heating) on a small stool, holding out his shirt, befrilled and collared, but sleeveless. He wears tightly laced stays over bare flesh, which is ravaged by insects or skin-disease, with ragged drawers and socks. Other ragged garments hang from a string across the fireplace, others project from a crock (right) where they are being washed. Boots, blacking, &c., are on the floor. Coat, hat, trousers, and eyeglass lie on a makeshift bed; an overcoat hangs on a coat-hanger. His hair is brushed upwards from the neck with one lock arranged over the forehead. His whiskers are on a stand on the table, with broken combs, tooth-brush, &c. On the wall hang his umbrella, a pair of bootsoles, and a red herring. On the chimney-piece, with medicine-bottle, tea-pot, &c., is a ballad headed by a gibbet with corpses. On a box which forms a head to the bed are band-box, cane, cracked mirror, &c."--British Museum online catalogue
"A sailor and a young woman dance a jig on the deck of a man-of-war, watched by a sailor leaning from the forecastle roof (right). They dance side by side, man's left arm raised, holding his hat, woman with hands on hips."--British Museum online catalogue

"A grotesque dandy walks in a landscape in profile to the right, bending at the waist, sucking a cane, left arm hanging stiffly. His features and dress are inscribed with the names of food, e.g. his red carbuncled rose is 'Currant Jelly', his shallow broad-brimmed hat (an eccentricity) is 'Calves Head Jelly' and 'Pancake'; the cravat which covers neck, cheek, and chin is 'Puff Paste'; his loose short trousers are 'White Sugar Bags'; his handkerchief 'Blow Monge'; his long spurs 'Gilt Gingerbread'. See British Museum Satires No. 13029. A companion plate to British Museum Satires No. 13057 with the same signature."--British Museum online catalogue

Exquisite dandy. Prodigious!!!
Description:
Title etched below image., Alternative title from text above image: An exquisite dandy. Prodigious!!!, Production of the print was apparently a joint effort by Robert Cruikshank and George Cruikshank, according to the note "By my brother I.R.C. assisted a little by G.C" to the impression in the collection of W.T. Spencer (1931). See British Museum catalogue., Perhaps a different state from that described in the British Museum catalogue; the latter seems to lack any text in the upper margin. Cf. British Museum online catalogue, registration no.: 1862,1217.288., and Companion print to: A nice lady, or, An incomparable!!!!

"A dandy lies back fainting in a chair, his limbs rigid, supported by three others while a fourth (left) draws the curtain, cutting off a view of the (distant) stage where a singer is posturing. The three supporters say: "I am so frighten'd I can hardly stand!"; "mind you dont soil the Dear's linnen," and, "I dread the consequence! that last Air of Signeur Nonballenas has thrown him in such raptures, we must call a Doctor --[a name has been erased] immediately!" The last holds a bottle of 'Eau de Colonge' [sic] to the patient's nostril. The fourth turns to say: "I must draw the curtain or his screams will alarm the House--you have no fello feeling my dear fellos, pray unlace the dear loves Stays, and lay him on the Couch." The box is large with couch (right) and table with decanters, dish of peaches, and two candles. On the floor beside a low-crowned hat is a fan. The four dandies register consternation. All are dressed in the usual manner, two wear wide short trousers, the others tight breeches or pantaloons. For dandies as epicene creatures see also Nos. 13239, 13394, 13447."--British Museum online catalogue
