"A fashionably dressed man stands in back view, a round hat in his hand, a bludgeon under his left arm. He wears a tail-coat with a large cape-like collar with revers. Above this appears the high stiff collar at the back of his waistcoat. His hair falls on his coat collar and his shoulders are frosted with hair-powder (a fashion of the day), cf. BMSats 7537, 8192.

"An elderly lady sits very upright in a glass-fronted coupé, the side window forming a frame. She has simply-dressed powdered hair on which is a turban-like drapery; a fichu covers her neck. Her dress, in front of which is a large bouquet of flowers, is shaped to the waist in a way very different from the fashion of the day. On the carriage door ls a baron's coronet above the initial 'D'. On the left is seen part of the coachman's back, and an elaborate hammer-cloth trimmed with gold fringe. Below the design: '-'t'was thus, heretofore, honest Dames shew'd their Faces, When Ball Nights & Birth Nights, call'd forth all their Graces! - But now, (-las-a-day!) what with Wigs and with Vails, Our Fair Ones, hide Faces, and all, - but their Tails! - '."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A provincial Assembly Room, with dancers in violent action in the background, in country dance or cotillion. In the foreground is an ugly foppish and conceited fellow standing with raised coat-tails and his back to the fire. He holds cocked hat and cane, and grimaces and bows towards a pretty young woman, one foot on a fragment of her dress. She walks away from him to the left., taking her chair with her. Another pretty girl sits against the wall (r.) holding a closed fan. The dancers are bucolic and ugly. The walls are decorated with candle-sconces; a clock on the chimney-piece points to 1.25."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A man walks on tiptoe away from the spectator. He is ungainly, the left shoulder lower than the right, with ill-dressed hair in a small tail. He wears a grotesque cocked hat poised on his head, an old-fashioned coat, and striped stockings. The stone wall of a house, showing part of a street-door and one window, forms a background."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A sea-side scene on a hot day. The centre figure is a tall young woman, in a muslin dress with bare arms and neck, holding an open parasol and a patterned scarf. A fat 'cit' trudges along, much distressed; he mops his bald head, holding his hat with his wig inside it. A family party, forbidding and censorious, is grouped on the left, with a panting dog. In the middle distance are the sands with pedestrians fashionably dressed, and a barefooted fisher-boy with a net. Bathing-machines are in the sea, with tiny figures in the water; another with a horse is about to enter the water."--British Museum online catalogue.

"The pair, seated in a gig, drive (r. to left.) along a country road, preceded by a mongrel dog carrying a large bone. The man drives the miserable hack with the air of an expert, flicking a heavy lash over the animal's neck. He is smartly dressed with side-whisker, swathed neck-cloth, high collar, and top-boots. His almost spherical wife takes his arm. She holds a little closed parasol, and wears gloves above we elbow. The feather and trimmings of her hat float behind her in the wind. On the side of the gig is a pestle and mortar, showing that the man is an apothecary. The emaciated and decrepit horse has broken knees and gaping wounds under the collar and harness; one pastern is swollen. Birds fly towards it, scenting carrion. A broken milestone (r.) is inscribed 'Miles from London'."--British Museum online catalogue.
