Abstract:
"A midshipman (left) dressed as a dandy (cf. British Museum Satires No. 13029) braces hands and feet against a mast on the extreme left, while four sailors, standing on a turn-table (right), wind up by a windlass a rope attached to his stays (cf. British Museum Satires No. 13394), compressing a wasp-waist. His coat, bell-shaped top-hat, with belt and dirk, are on a chair beside him. He says: "Very well my hearties very indeed--'pon honor. This lacing is not very agreeable, but it will be fully compensated by the grand dash I shall make at East London Theatre tonight--Oh! I shall be most enchanting! Oh, charming! Oh! delightful! after Ive got a pint of Rowlands Maccassar Oil [see British Museum Satires No. 12405] on my head--Pull away! heave away! pull away hearties!!" An old sailor sits on a gun smoking; he leans against the side of the ship, looking over his shoulder to say with a contemptuous grimace: "I say Master Midshipman, I always thought you a little crack-brained; now I'm convinced of it, for as you've turn'd Dandy, that's proof positive--I'ts all up withyou & all I have to say is you're not worth a -- quid of tobacco." Another midshipman, wearing a cockaded top-hat, jeers at the dandy with flexed knees and raised arms: "My Eyes!! Oh Murder! Ha! ha! ha!! Jack Greathead the cheesemonger's son got stays!!! Well, I've a good mind to get petticoats!--these Dandies are a disgrace to Great Britan--" The four sailors pushing hard at the windlass all grin; one asks: "I say, Mainmast, do you intend to get Stays"; Mainmast: "Get Stays! Why man I have stays already & have order'd a pair of Buckskin, & 2 pair of Sealskin, what do you think of that eh?!!" The third, a negro, says: "Me vid tink Massa vid soon have the Belly ache!!" The fourth: "Huzza! don't flinch my boys tho' he call "Stop" don't do so--Heave away my lads give him a twitcher--heave away He, Ho He Ho--!!"."--British Museum online catalogue

"The title continues: "Forth from the Goal Starts the favorite hob -and on his back Firm sits light load, the Dandy, Jerkin'd spruce' Dandies race on the new elocipede. In the foreground three are bunched together, taking enormous strides. The foremost holds a riding-switch in his teeth like a jockey, the last carries a rolled umbrella with a spiked ferrule under his right arm. A handle-bar connected with the hub of the front wheel steers the machine; a saddle is placed over a shallow dip in the main bar or pole, on which is also fastened a horizontal board to support the arms of the riders. In the background (left) a rider falls head first from his machine, which falls across the front wheel of another rider. On the right a frightened dandy, unable to stop, rides over the neck of a prostrate competitor, while behind, a third man stops by digging his heels into the ground. On the extreme right is a mail-coach with the guard blowing his horn."--British Museum online catalogue
