A couple, much caricatured, bow to each other as they meet on a pavement. The man is very tall with exaggerated long legs wears dandy costume with bell-shaped top-hat, and trousers strapped under high-heeled boots with spurs, his very thin cane is his left hand. The much shorter lady is given height by the scoop of an enormously high bonnet. She wears a coat trimmed in ermine and matching large muff. Another couple on the left and two men with their chests puffed out walk from the right are similarly dressed and caricatured

"A promenade in Hyde Park. Pelisses heavily trimmed with fur, large muffs, and feathered hats are conspicuous; skirts, slightly trained, reach the ground. One woman wears a much-patterned and flounced dress, without a wrap, and a bonnet surmounted with realistic flowers. The leaning back attitude in walking (see British Museum Satires No. 14438) is that of one woman only; she takes the arm of a dandy in frogged coat and inflated white trousers. A man in a tight-waisted overcoat with large buttons worn with boots, breeches, and a checked neck-cloth, his hands in his pockets, is conspicuous: the lady taking his arm wears much ermine, with a muff and a hat which is a base for towering roses and a dangling lace veil. Uniforms are absent."--British Museum online catalogue

"Six French émigrés are grouped at the roadside beside a signpost (right) pointing (left) to 'London' and (right) to 'Dover'. A lean and elderly woman holding a clipped poodle stands with her left hand in the arm of a man wearing a cocked hat with a tricolour cockade, and a long coat reaching almost to his ankles; he holds a tasselled cane. Next him is a stout man wearing a long cloak, and a boy or dwarfish man. On the right are two women holding large muffs. A second clipped poodle runs beside them. In the background a coach (right) inscribed 'London Dover Canterbury' is driving towards London with outside passengers; one, a sailor, waves his hat.

"A buxom lady walks forward and to the right towards a man in riding-dress (right) who inspects her through a quizzing-glass. A ribbon encircles her high waist (cf.

Behind her a small footman holding a large closed umbrella marches stiffly. In the background is a tree, under which is a seat in back view, on which a man and woman are sitting."--British Museum online catalogue

"An elderly invalid sits in an armchair, his gouty legs swathed, a shawl over his head, a pair of bands shows that he is a parson. He turns to his visitor, an elderly lady seated next him in a similar armchair, wearing a hooded cloak over her cap, and holding a muff. Both talk emphatically, their faces and gestures rendering the subject very expressively. An elderly footman (left) hands two glasses of wine on a salver. Beside the host is a circular table with a bowl; behind the armchairs is a folding screen. Two windows, an oval mirror, a chair and low circular table (left) complete the design.
