"One of a set (coloured) by Williams, all with the same imprint (British Museum Satires Nos. 12933-6). An adaptation of British Museum Satires No. 12925. The stout man dancing between two ladies is in military uniform with a large sabre. The room is altered by the addition of a side wall (left) to which the fireplace is transferred. In its place is the square piano under a large mirror. All the figures are altered; a lady in an arm-chair with a man leaning over her has been added. Elaborate gas or oil lighting replaces candles: a hanging chandelier with a circle of globes with chimneys, with similar lamps in brackets on a glass over the chimney-piece, which is surmounted by a standing lamp. There are three whole length portraits of dancers striking attitudes, two being 'Mde H[i]llisburgh' and 'Monr Vestris'."--British Museum online catalogue
