"Masqueraders stand closely grouped. A centre figure is an obese, aged, and capering Punch, playing a guitar. Two women are prominent, both are in profile to the left, and wear small masks which frame their eyes. One holds a wand and a book inscribed 'Magi', the other wears breeches and is very décolletée. Behind her is an ugly coarse-looking man, wearing a domino with a naturalistic mask resembling his own features. A man wears a bag-wig with large horns and carries a placard inscribed 'Horns to Sell'. One figure wears two realistic and complete masks, Janus-like--one that of a handsome woman, the other of an ugly man. The background is an arc of a rotunda, with Ionic pillars framing curtains and decorated with fairy lights."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Melville, in Highland dress (left), stoops, holding open a sack from which issues an endless procession of pigmy Scots, receding in perspective to disappear under a high Gothic doorway, inscribed 'Saint Stephens'. The little Scots march out of the bag like an army of occupation, with an eager, hungry air. Some wear plain, others feathered, bonnets; one has bagpipes under his arm, another a broad-sword. John Bull (right), a yokel in shirt and breeches, holding a cudgel, looks down at them, saying, "Dang it, what a swarm of them there be - enough to cause a famine in any christian country." Melville says: "There ye are my bonny Lads - mak the best o' your way the door is open - and leave a Scotsman alaine to stick in a place gin he once gains an entrance!" Saint Stephens, the House of Commons, is between a high crenellated wall (right) and the façade of a neo-Gothic building with crenellated roof, oriel windows above an arcade, and turrets."--British Museum online catalogue, description of alternate state.

"Above, Mrs. Clarke stands on a round dais, under a canopy, receiving her clients. These are headed by six military officers; the foremost makes a sweeping bow, cocked hat in hand. Next is a fat parson holding a money-bag inscribed 800; behind is an obese doctor, with three other elderly men. She says to them: Ye Captains and ye Colonels-ye parsons wanting place, Advice I'll give ye gratis and think upon your case, If there is possibility, for you I'll raise the dust, But then you must excuse me-if I serve myself the first. Below, Mrs. Clarke, much décolletée, looks from an open ground-floor window of a London house, to see a fashionably dressed man, Taylor, walking towards her holding a sealed packet. He looks over his shoulder at a yokel with a cudgel, who asks: I say Measter Shoe-maker where be you going in such a woundy hurry? Taylor answers: Dont speak to me fellow you should never pry into State affairs. Mrs. Clarke says: Open the door John here comes the Ambassador Now for the dear delightful Answer. Behind the yokel, evidently John Bull, is his dog. On the right is a house with a door-plate inscribed Mrs Weston."--British Museum online catalogue.
