The hussar, who lounges with hands in pockets and both legs over the back of a chair, answers: 'Shew her off!--Trot her out!! let us see her foine legs'. A civilian standing behind the lady (left) laughs: 'Ha! Ha! Ha! So this is one of the extra polite Dandies of the Tenth'. Two fellow officers stand beside the first. One says: 'No! Tenth don't daunce!!' [cf. British Museum satires no. 14643A]. The other inspects the lady through an eyeglass, saying, 'Zounds, Dam-me!' DRAWING ROOM. The lady of the ball-room stands beside another; both are young and pretty and in ball-dress. The officer (right) bows from the waist, pointing the left toe, left hand on hip and holding up an eye-glass. He is without pelisse and sword. The second lady, holding up a fan, says: 'Sir this is the Lady you desired me to Trot up to you.' The lady in question also bends from the waist, pointing a toe, inspecting the officer through an eye-glass. She holds a lighted candle, saying, 'No--Wont do! Trot him out!!--Trot him out!!'"--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Seven Aldermen, with ass's ears, sit in conference (a meeting of the Court of Aldermen) in Guildhall wearing their furred gowns. The table is covered with a cloth on which are the City Arms and motto, 'Domine Direge [sic] Nos', but a turtle replaces the griffin as the sinister supporter. The arcaded wall, showing the lower part of the windows (with the City Arms), forms a background. The table is flanked by the statues of the giants, 'Gog' (left) and 'Magog' (right), on pedestals. The former, holding a staff with a spiked ball dangling from it, asks: "I say Brother what do you think of our City Asses." Magog, holding pike and shield: "Why I think Brother Gog they are a set of D--n'd Stupid Blockheads." Five Aldermen are on the farther side of the table. The other two sit facing each other at the opposite ends. In the centre sits Bridges; he says: "As late Mare I should be a Great Ass if I did not differ from those Radical Individuals who trust in their own confidence-- I say the Q--n must not go to St Pauls." On his right is Curtis, the largest and most prominent, who says with raised forefinger: "We shall have a speedy Revolution and soon [see British Museum Satires No. 11306], if she is allowed to come into the City-- I protest on my part against prayers of any description." The man at the head of the table says: "No Prayers by St Paul I say for one." The Alderman next him asks: "Where is our friend At--ns, he knows all about burning the Thames" [see British Museum Satires No. 13272]. The others (left to right) says: [1] "Let me see--Keep her out by all means." He stares through an eye-glass, shutting one eye. [2] "Oh dear we shall all be ruined if she comes." [3] "If the Q--n is prayed for we are all dished by Goles--I'll have the Caracatures taken out of the Windows." In the upper margin: 'List of the Wise Men--G. Br--s, Billy Blubber [Curtis], C. Fl--r.

- "Lord Eldon sits at a high desk above a table, with mace, &c., at which two barristers are writing. He raises his arms in astonishment at the sight of a still (left) inscribed 'The Q--n's Double Destlled [sic] Essence of Bergamot' [with 'ot' scored through and replaced by 'i']; from this the Queen's head emerges, facing the head of Bergami, which issues from an arm of the still. This is surrounded by smoke and stands on a bench, behind which on a low platform stand Louise Demont and Majocchi, pointing at the object, the latter saying: "Non me Ricordo." A barrister, probably Copley, stands near them, saying: "It's a strong proof but froieng [sic] brew'd and out of our power to discover the Makers." Eldon, dropping his pen, says: "This is cuesed [sic] strong it is certainly doubled proof of their Private works." A profile (? Liverpool) leans forward from the left margin, saying: "My L--ds he can swear to the Smell and Taste." Peers, some astonished, some amused, are seated on benches between Chancellor and witnesses. Only the Duke of York can be identified; he says: "I'll have one made for my Travelling Carriage." A bishop: "We must get Bergami to calk it up."."--British Museum online catalogue

The profile head of the dentist is close to the fat face of his patient, a woman with a wide smiling mouth, open to show two rows of artificial teeth and gums. He smiles, displaying his own artificial teeth, and holds his patient by the chin. Facing him (right) is a man's head in profile, staring up at the woman through a double lorgnette; his open mouth reveals sparse and irregular teeth, in a grotesque jaw. Above his head is a notice: 'Mineral Teeth Monsier De Charmant from Paris engages to affix from one tooth to a whole set without pain.

In the cloud John Bull is depicted in seven different scenarios: drinking unadulterated porter, free from taxes, smoking Trinidad tobacco, talking French & grown quite a fine gentleman, eating cinnamon from Ceylon, free from care, and with bread at 6d the quarter loaf. John Bull says: 'what be all those people I see. Mercy on us so many good things will be more than I can bear'.

Behind her a small footman holding a large closed umbrella marches stiffly.
