"A promenade in Hyde Park. Innovations are that the men have trousers pinched at the knee, hour-glass fashion, their hats have small crowns, truncated cones, like the Petersham hat, some wear flat pumps with bows, and hold small riding-whips. They have enormous whiskers, patently false, sometimes meeting under the chin. The women have much-trimmed hats with large brims, gigot sleeves, belted dresses, with full skirts. There are three little children, all with plain straw hats with vast brims, like flat mushrooms; a little girl has a hoop, a boy a whip."--British Museum online catalogue

"A landscape is patterned with tiny children under huge wide-brimmed hats. Two girls in back view hasten towards three little boys who swagger forward, arm-in-arm; the hat of the tallest boy projects far beyond the heads of the others, who wear round peaked caps. All wear childish trousers gathered at the ankle in a dandyish manner. One boy rides a hobbyhorse, one child has fallen prone, and is almost covered by its hat. In the foreground grow genuine mushrooms."--British Museum online catalogue

"Majocchi, with brown face, debased features, and villainous squint, grotesquely dressed as a dandy, stands full-face, holding out a large rolled document: 'Orders for the Milan Commission' [see British Museum Satires No. 13755, &c.] and a large purse filled with gold coins: 'Secret Service Money'. He wears a small high-crowned hat: 'made by the Dandy Military Tailor in Pall Mall' [George IV, cf. British Museum Satires No. 13237, &c.]. On the lapels of his coat are two portrait medallions, one of 'Mrs Q' [see British Museum Satires No. 13889], the other of the 'K--g'. From a pocket hangs a long paper: 'Minutes of a conversation with a fat goodlooking Gentleman in Pall Mall on the Day George the III was Buried.' A long cylinder attached (?) to a coat-tail is inscribed 'Perjury . . . Per . . . Perjury'. He wears long trousers of hussar pattern, coat with small tails open over a tight white waistcoat: all his clothes are inscribed 'Government Stores'."--British Museum online catalogue
