"A bull (left) bellows angrily over a dilapidated paling at a picnic-party of 'cits' whose feast is spread on the grass under trees. An elderly lady remains seated, putting her hand on a pie; a younger one throws her arms round a man's neck, knocking off his hat; a plump lady, chicken-bone in one hand, fork in the other, clasps the second man; he, interrupted in drawing a cork, tramples on a fourth lady who clasps his legs. A little girl clutches the latter. An infant falls backwards, a little boy, seated with plate and knife in hand, looks at the bull. The men are vulgarly dandified, the women gaily dressed. All register terror. Behind (right) is the Thames, with St. Paul's, smoke, &c, in the distance."--British Museum online catalogue

"A dandy, with moustache, whisker, and beard, steps gingerly from an archway, one of three lit by hanging lamps, leading from the portico of the King's Theatre, Haymarket, to the street. Water from a spout descends on his top-hat, whence it gushes fore and aft in huge streams. He wears tail-coat, short trousers, and very flimsy pumps; he holds his handkerchief round his coat-collar; his gloves fall to the ground and he steps towards a muddy stream. A link-boy leans as if asleep under the next arch. Two bills are posted: Chelsea Watermains always charged F.P. 16. ft. and Madame Pasta's Benefit Night. Title from Mary Shelley's book, published 1826, cf. British Museum Satires No. 15341."--British Museum online catalogue
