"A foppish parson, directed to the left, wearing a voluminous surplice over a high 'dandy' (cf. British Museum Satires No. 13029) collar, with bands, and displaying elegant be-ringed hands, preaches from a pulpit, the upper part only of which is depicted. In his eye is stuck a monocle with short handle and cord. A large book is on his pulpit-cushion, which is elaborately trimmed with gold fringe, and he reads with a complacent smile: "And behold in these times the Dan-dees were" / "arrayed in Garments of divers fashions--and in" / "fine Linens curiously wrought--and moreover--" / "they were gazed upon by the bretheren of the Land," / "in which they dwelt--and the people marvelled." / "Lib. 2-- ver 6. 7. 8"."--British Museum online catalogue

The man is very tall with exaggerated long legs wears dandy costume with bell-shaped top-hat, and trousers strapped under high-heeled boots with spurs, his very thin cane is his left hand. The much shorter lady is given height by the scoop of an enormously high bonnet. She wears a coat trimmed in ermine and matching large muff.

"A lank-faced dissenter with squinting upturned eyes, and open gap-toothed mouth, sits up in bed, chanting: "O Lord what makes the fleas to bite / I never did them harm / At first they came by twos & three's / But now how they do swarm." His shirt is ragged and lank hair pokes through his night-cap. On the pillow beside him (left) is the sleeping face of a plump woman, framed by a cap-frill."--British Museum online catalogue

"The scene is a Drawing-room in the court sense held at the Queen's House (now Buckingham Palace): the men wear court-suits with gold lace and bag-wigs or uniform; above the doorway appears the lower part of a portrait of the Queen enthroned, with one foot on a footstool. On the right is a portrait of the Prince Regent in hussar uniform standing by a charger. In the doorway, which is the centre of the design, an enormously obese man is jammed against an equally obese woman, their paunches dovetailing; she stands on one toe on his gouty foot. Behind them is the inner room, where heads are seen crammed together. In the foreground an officer steps on a lady's train (left) slitting her gown. A hussar officer (right), amused at the struggle in the doorway, drives his sabre against a much-distressed lady. He has a moustache, and is perhaps a German in attendance on the Prince of Hesse-Homburg. Behind is another officer, also with a moustache (cf. No. 13029). On the floor lie fans, a shoe-buckle, the bag from a wig, &c."--British Museum online catalogue

"Above the design: 'A Peep at the French Monstrosities'. Two English tourists, both dressed as dandies (cf. No. 13029), walk arm-in-arm under the arcade of the Palais Royal, interested in the promenading courtesans. Two Frenchmen make more direct overtures to two women. Their dress is rather similar to that of the Englishmen, but the latter wear bell-shaped top-hats, while the Frenchmen have flower-pot shaped hats. An officer wearing a large cocked hat addresses a girl, and a man, said by Reid to be Irish, jovially accosts another. Some of the women are in evening-dress, others in street-costume. Behind are iron railings between the supports of the roof; on one of these is the inscription 'Caveau des Sauvages'."--British Museum online catalogue
