A very plump young woman in a bonnet stands in a park leaning forward into the wind ; her skirt is blown tightly around her backside and above her knees. Two foppish looking men eye her with amusement, the one using an eyeglass, the other holding his hat and wearing a long braided coat. Another couple on the right, struggle with an umbrella in the wind. Like the woman on the left, this woman's dress is also blown above her knees; her companion is dressed in wide trousers tied at the ankles. Between these two scenes, in the distance, a young woman walks along a rail toward the left struggling against the wind; a little black footboy follows her holding the hem of her skirt and her reticule. Beyond the rail another man and a woman struggle in the wind with their hats and she with her umbrella

Abstract:
"A plump young woman stands with feet together bending before the wind, and holding down the short (muslin) skirt of her high-waisted décolletée dress. The wind makes it define her plump posterior and she says, "La, Bless me how cool it is." Her brightly coloured ankle-boots have a border of swan's-down. Two absurd fops walking close behind inspect her with amusement, one using an eyeglass says: "It is certainly more gratifying to view, than the Regents Bomb!!!!!!" [see British Museum Satires No. 12799, &c.]. The other says: "I think she intends it as an opposition, to that in St James's Park." One wears a long braided coat to the ground, the other loose trousers and narrow coat-tails which blow round his legs. Both wear stocks, collars, small hats, and fluffed-out hair like those of the dandies in British Museum Satires No. 12840. On the right a couple walk off to the right, in difficulties with an umbrella. The woman's dress is well above her knees; the man wears wide trousers tied in at the ankle, and coat-tails like streamers of ribbon. Farther from the spectator, and walking from right to left is a young woman followed by a little negro foot-boy. She holds on her bonnet, and holds down her very short skirt in front, saying, "What a rude wind this is, old [sic] fast behind Mung." He holds down the hem of her skirt, and carries her reticule; he answers: "Yes, Miss'e I wont let Loose if you dont." In the background, behind the rails, a man chases his hat, a woman holds an umbrella which is inside out, and sees her bonnet blow away."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
