"A night scene, lit by a crescent moon. Men and women flee in abject terror from a menacing figure draped in a sheet, apparently on stilts, with glaring eyeballs, long beard, and talons on its outstretched hands. One of the fugitives is on a terrified horse, another is a watchman with lantern and rattle."--British Museum online catalogue

"Four men, raffishly prosperous, dance forward together in a line, three in tipsy joviality, one dragged forward, ill and dejected. The Irishman and Englishman have their arms entwined, one flourishes a cane, the other a handkerchief. The melancholy Scot holds the Englishman's coat-tail. The jovial Welshman takes the Scot's left arm, waving his hat. Each wears, in top-hat and coat, his national flower: shamrock, rose, thistle, leek. The Scot wears quasi-tartan trousers."--British Museum online catalogue
