"A young man, [Friedrich Christian Accum (1769-1838) misidentified by Dorothy George as] Humphrey Davy (1778-1829), stands on a platform in a crowded lecture-room, circular in shape, an arc of the wall being shown. He pours liquid from a kettle into a beaker. His table is covered with similar beakers, a tiny retort, &c. Behind him is a door inscribed 'Surrey Institution'. The absorbed audience consists chiefly of pretty women in evening dress and ugly and elderly men. Men are seated on the platform; one is standing. In the foreground (left) a much caricatured elderly man in old-fashioned dress and bag-wig leans forward on his stick, registering anguished jealousy. In his pocket is a book: 'Accum's Lectures' .... Spectators look down from a balcony immediately above the platform."--British Museum online catalogue

"A promenade, with clouds added in watercolour as the only background; dandies are smoking cheroots and puffing out clouds of smoke. One stoops, puffing into a lady's face which is thus completely hidden; she staggers back; on an ascending cloud are the words Fond of Steaming Ladies? do you Smoke it, Eh! A second man stands over him, also smoking hard. On the left a dandy's moustache is blazing, he staggers back, his hat falling, his cheroot on the ground, and shouts Fire Fire Oh Dear my best Mustacios will be quite Destroyed. The man behind him, letting his cheroot fall from his mouth, screams Fire Fire. On the extreme left a fireman with the badge of the Sun Fire Office on his arm laughs, saying, Why Master I must fetch our Engine to put out your Steam Engine. The men wear bell-shaped top-hats, coats with a large collar standing away from the neck, and sometimes "with a single cape to the waist; trousers are full at the waist and tightly strapped over spurred boots. The women wear fur tippets and feathered bonnets; one has a huge muff."--British Museum online catalogue, description of reissued state

"Lord Conyngham stands by the counter of Benbow's shop holding out an open book to the shopman with a terrified gesture: "Mr Benbow, Pray who is this!" Benbow, behind the counter, touches the antlered figure of British Museum Satires No. 14029, and one of the fat ladies, answering, "This is Lady H----d and this is Lady C----m." His right hand rests on a pile of caricatures on the counter. A grinning shopman behind the L-shaped counter (right) holds up two fingers to simulate horns above Lord Conyngham's head. The walls of the shop are lined with books; by the counter three bills are displayed, one above the other: [1] 'Just Published 1s 6d Sultan Sham and his Seven Wives' [British Museum Satires No. 14029]; [2] 'Cobbett's Register Sold here also Peep at the Peers' [?

The King sits on a couch with Lady Conyngham on his left knee, the large feathers of her headdress extending over their heads. The couple gaze at each other amourously as a woman holding a candle (a maid?) enters through a doorway on the left. On the wall behind the woman hangs a picture of an estate with the name "[C]unningh[am]" written on the frame. Another picture on the wall to the right shows a man, probably Lord Conyngham, full-length and facing away from the viewer, antlers on his head and the speech bubble "I dont see it" in the upper left. A document on the floor to the right of the couch reads "Hertford," with a speech bubble to the immediate left reading "The right owner is." A canopy bed is seen through the open door on the left side of the design
