"The Regent, scarcely caricatured, rides (right to left) a white horse with the (bloated) head of Sheridan, the flank being branded 'P R'. The horse walks along a cobbled street which is strewn with large stones on each of which is the head of a member of the Opposition. Sheridan says: "Never fear, my dear Master, I will carry you through this ugly road in safety--I'll hick all the vile stones aside that would impede your way, and your old Hack, Sherry, you will find able to support you to the last." On the stone under his hoof is the head of Grenville. Two others have already been kicked aside: (?) Holland, and, in the foreground, the Duke of Norfolk. Others (left to right) are: Buckingham (in spectacles) and Whitbread, Grey, Lord Temple, Moira, and Erskine. Others are not characterized. The street leads into 'Manchester Square', showing that the Prince is on his way to Hertford House."--British Museum online catalogue

In a well-furnished parlor, a woman (left) sits playing at a harpsichord as she turns to gaze with admiration at young military officer who looks at her with intimacy; an older officer to her left scowls at them, his hand in the breast of his vest. On the right another young woman leans her head in her hand, a bored, annoyed look on her face; her elbow is resting on a table on which sits her sewing basket; in her right hand she holds a scissors, her arm thrown back over the back of the upholstered chair. On the floor at her feet is a book "Tirumph of temper." A dog sits at her feet looking up at her. On the back well is a portrait of old woman. On the mantel is a sculpture of a roman chariot and horses

Abstract:
"Six scenes arranged in two rows, divided by lines, each with a caption, and inscriptions above the design. The figures have large heads, broadly caricatured, in the manner of Woodward's Lilliputian designs, cf. British Museum Satires No. 9635, &c. [1] 'Conscience'. A fat florid woman gesticulates wildly, watched by a sour-looking man. They say: "Oh Im Undone! Im Undone!" and "Then I wish you would undo me--for they have fined me five Shillings for my bit of fun." [2] 'An Airing'. A fashionably dressed and grotesque couple walk arm-in-arm, registering anger. She says: "Now let us pretend to walk out as if nothing was the matter." He says, registering anguish, "Oh what a prize in the Lottery." [3] 'Alarm'. A woman holds a man on her knee. He says, registering dismay, "But if Mr Spriggins should come home what should we do then." She answers, calculatingly amorous: "Be not alarmed sweet Lily of the Valley." [4] 'A Walk to the Shubbery' [sic]. A not uncomely woman, holding up a fan, leads a hideous man towards a shrubbery. He says: "Let me lead you lovely fair one--Nothing loath." She answers: "Oh spare my Blushes." [5] 'A scene in a Stone Coffin'. A couple embrace in a stone coffin beside which lie a skull and bones. She says: "O Dear o dear if the Gostesses should come." He answers: D--n the Gostesses." (An Irish scandal of 1784, see British Museum Satires No. 6699, &c.) [6] 'Observation'. An old man wearing a night-cap and huge spectacles stands with bent knees gazing through a doorway. He says: "Mercy on me, what do I see--well a pair of spectacles is tantamount to two Witnesses"."--British Museum online catalogue

Under his right arm is a long cudgel or shillelagh. She takes his arm and looks up rapturously. They walk (right to left) across the 'Crescent', Bath, whose houses form a background. A gouty old man on crutches behind them (right) looks sourly at them, and a chair-man (left) between the shafts of his sedan-chair, gapes in astonishment."--British Museum online catalogue
