"Waithman stands in his shop, in profile to the right, holding a yard-stick of 2 yards, like a wand of office. He wears black court dress, with black bag attached to his short hair or coat-collar, ruffles, knee-breeches, and sword, his alderman's chain round his shoulders. From his coat-tails project a barbed tail and a roll of fringed Shawls. The right leg terminates in a cloven hoof. At his feet are rolls of Shawls and H. Ell Wide Stuff [cf. British Museum Satires No. 14194]. A long counter extends across the shop behind him, with a fashionably dressed young shopman rolling material. On the wall behind is a row of neat drawers below a shelf on which are rolls of textiles. The head seems to be copied from Dighton's earlier portrait, British Museum Satires No. 13024."--British Museum online catalogue
