"A Hyde Park scene. An African family, man, woman, and child, and a similar Lapp family, stand to be gazed at by extravagantly dressed pedestrians. The Lapps have a reindeer decorated with ribbons as in BM Satires 14430, and the child is held on its back by the proud parents. The Africans have distended ear-lobes and projecting under-lips; they wear metal circlets on their heads, set with erect feathers, and feather-trimmed robes. 'Monstrosities' include a very tall cavalry officer with a huge plume in his ornate helmet, and a dwarf in top-boots and fashionable dress. There are also a dandy on horseback with concertina-like trousers, two men in ulsters (one tartan) which trail on the ground, a woman with an enormous bonnet and ermine-trimmed pelisse of grotesque shape. Men's hats are low-crowned and broad-brimmed, or cylindrical, or bell-shaped."--British Museum online catalogue

"A scene at the door of a Flemish church (right) in a small square. A procession of little girls, uniformly dressed, wearing aprons and sabots, each with a large book under her arm, enters the church, the smallest in the rear. They are followed (left) by a fat Flemish woman wearing a hooded cloak, a book in her hand, a birch-rod hanging from her wrist. On the extreme left a little boy walks between his stout parents, taking a hand of each. Behind, three men are indicated, also with books. On the right three nuns approach the door, skirting the wall of the church. Above their heads is a crucifix in a niche. In the background are gabled buildings."--British Museum online catalogue
