"A dandy (cf. British Museum Satires No. 13029), with a handsome profile, wearing knee-breeches, advances with a mincing step and outstretched hands towards an ugly farmer who stands facing him with a large stick and wearing top-boots and broad-brimmed hat. The tenant holds a money-bag and is fiercely prognathous. The landlord: "My dear Sir--I am rejoiced to see you--I hope your lovely family are well--You are a charming Man--correct in every point--in short your countenance is an index to your mind." The farmer: "You certainly are flattering me--here is your Rent.--as to my family--thanks to the Lord, my Wife, and all the brats, be gone to kingdome come." There is a carpeted floor."--British Museum online catalogue

"A lady stands in profile to the right, her hands in an enormous globular muff, on which rests the projecting gauze which covers her breast. Her petticoats project at the back in the fashionable manner, but scarcely balance the muff. Her wide-brimmed hat is even more exaggerated, and projects all round her like a tent. Her hair is puffed out at the sides with curls which rest on her false breast, and a looped and plaited queue which reaches nearly to her projecting petticoats."--British Museum online catalogue

"Napoleon (left) and Joseph sit side by side on low seats or stools, both with a hand on each knee. They have large, elongated heads broadly caricatured (as in British Museum Satires No. 10604, &c.) and look sideways at each other with drawn-down mouths and wrinkled foreheads. Napoleon is in uniform, wearing a feathered bicorne; Joseph wears a crown with Spanish dress, ermine-trimmed robe, and the order of the Golden Fleece. His seat is, very inconspicuously, a commode. At his feet is a sceptre with a scroll inscribed 'Servata Fides Cineri'. Napoleon says: "A pretty piece of Business we have made of it Brother Joe." Joseph: "I always told you Nap, what would come of makeing too free with the Spaniards.""--British Museum online catalogue
