"The heads and shoulders of three persons fill the design, all studies in teeth, facial expression, and caricature. The profile head of the dentist is close to the fat face of his patient, a woman with a wide smiling mouth, open to show two rows of artificial teeth and gums. He smiles, displaying his own artificial teeth, and holds his patient by the chin. Facing him (right) is a man's head in profile, staring up at the woman through a double lorgnette; his open mouth reveals sparse and irregular teeth, in a grotesque jaw. Above his head is a notice: 'Mineral Teeth Monsier De Charmant from Paris engages to affix from one tooth to a whole set without pain. Mouns D can also affix an artificial Palate or a glass Eye in a manner peculiar to himself. he also distills'."--British Museum online catalogue and "Evidently Dubois de Chémant who introduced porcelain teeth into England (replacing those of bone and ivory) and published 'A Dissertation on Artificial Teeth in general', 1797, 4th ed., 1804.

"Whitefield preaching to a group of country-people by the roadside. A sign, a lion rampant on a post with the chequers which denote an alehouse, shows that the scene is outside an inn. Whitefield, his squint very pronounced, stands in gown and bands, both arms raised, in the attitude familiar from the mezzotints in print-shop windows, see British Museum satire 5220. Some of his hearers, men and women, clasp their hands in prayer, some kneeling; others grin slyly or scowl. Immediately in front of him an elderly man seated on a mounting-block, is asleep, his head resting on the head of his stick. A woman with three infants is seated in the foreground (left).

A Macaroni in a tricorne hat, a sword with a hilt in the shape of a cockatoo's head at his waist and a walking stick dangling from gold rope around his wrist, peers through his quizzing glass at two stylishly-dressed women -- one young and pretty, the other old and ugly -- whom he passes on the street in front of a tavern, a wrought-iron fence behind him. The sign above the entrance reads "Wines, &c"; the sign on the building reads "Kind and Tender Usage." The young woman holds her hands in her fur muff; a watch dangling from the edge

He is poised on a platform projecting over the bath; behind him stands a comely young woman, watching in astonishment. A flesh-brush is beside her, another is on a seat on the opposite side of the bath, where a print of Narcissus is on the wall.

"Satire on village life. A country fair in which three young women are running for the prize of a smock; the third in line has tripped over a dog and is being helped up by a man. In the foreground, left to right: a young couple embrace beneath two trees hung with drapery; a small girl fills a mug of beer from a cask on which leans the village constable, asleep, with an empty mug in his lap; a small girl beside him holds a book lettered, "Compleat Peace Off[ice]r."; a dog steals food from a plate discarded on the ground; an old man stands on tip-toe holding his eye-glass to read a notice lettered, "To be Run for by Men in Sacks, A Flitch of Bacon on Tuesday next" which is pinned to one of the trees; a sailor sits on a branch of the tree holding up the hem of the prize smock which hangs on a pole at either end of which is a three-cornered hat; another sailor lounges on the ground looking at the runing women, a large jug near his foot; a chimney boy grabs a gingerbread crown from a boy who is holding a donkey by a chain; a small girl holds a younger child who waves another gingerbread crown while a dog jumps up to reach it. Behind the area roped off for the race is a crowd of spectators and a farm cart which a woman climbs into with the help of two men and another woman already in the cart; a man with a cockade in his hat waves a small flag on a pole, perhaps indicating the start of the race; a larger flag with a cross flies behind; other villagers are gathered in and around a makeshift tent; a one-horse carriage driven by a woman and carrying a gentleman comes into the scene from the right; behind the carriage two men are fencing. Women watch from upper windows of a large house in the background; on its walls are two bird-bottles and a dove-cote which a cat is eyeing with interest from a window sill; beyond is a windmill."--British Museum online catalogue

"A bonassus or bison (right), with the head of Bergami, is embraced by the Queen, who kneels on one knee to kiss the large face. He affectionately places a hoof on her knee. She wears white frilled trousers, with short slashed and tasselled jacket, feathered cap, scarlet high-heeled shoes with turned-up pointed toes; the usual miniature of Bergami dangles below her waist. The scene is the beast's pen. Wood, wearing his gown, rushes up from the left, arms raised, distressed at the rencontre. A grinning beefeater stands by. On the wall is a placard headed: Her Majesty | Bonassus."--British Museum online catalogue

"Alderman Wood, as a zany at a fair, stands on a platform outside a booth addressing a crowd of spectators, half length figures in the foreground forming the base of the design. He points with his right thumb to the Queen (left), who is ready to perform, dressed much as in British Museum Satires No. 14103 but more grotesquely. On the right are Brougham and Denman, as beefeaters, with the letters 'C R' on the breast, but with legal wig and bands; each has a trumpet; that of Denman, who blows it, has a banner 'Solicit you in General'. Wood has ass's ears, wears a fool's cap and red and yellow gown (see British Museum Satires No. 14122) over his suit, with big jack-boots. Under his arm is a bulky rolled document; he holds out a placard: 'Signora Diable Humbuggina now exhibiting with most astonishing Effect.' His words are etched on a big tricolour placard above his head: 'Now then Ladies and Gemmen, here ye has Signora Diable Humbuggina, the most wonderfullest conjuress that ever vas seed at home or abroad. The most perfect Amphibrous Nondescript Hannimal that was ever seed before or behind. She has exhibited her Genus to all the crowned Potentaties, and all the principalest Men in all Europe including the Day of Alljeers [Tunis, see British Museum Satires No. 12810] von o' the best Judges in this here Universe.

The Queen, very décolletée, with an over-dress displaying frilled and spotted drawers or trousers, wears a barn-stormer's crown with towering peacocks' feathers. At her feet is a notice: 'Juggling taught in all its branches'. At the feet of the beefeaters: 'Books of the travels of this wonderfull Phenomenon to be had within'. Their booth is garlanded with fairy lights and surmounted by a cap of Liberty. In the background on left and right are other attractions of the fair. A beefeater with 'G.R' on his breast blows his trumpet outside a booth flying a Union Jack, and inscribed 'Here's your Works. All from Nature. No connexion with the Jugglers.' Outside it are pictorial placards, all of animals with human heads: an ass with the head of Lieut. Hownam, a creature with the head of Bergami, and an ape with the head of Wood as in British Museum Satires No. 14131. Visitors crowd towards it. Before it is a woman in a swing. On the right are two tents, one inscribed 'Good Strong Caroline Brandy', the other flying a tricolour flag inscribed 'Ale and strong liquors'. In the centre foreground stands John Bull, pointing up at the Queen, and addressing the gaping and amused spectators around him. He is a plump respectable countryman, his words engraved below the title: 'Why dang-it I tell ye that ere business be all Impositioning like--Do na g'in, I mysel war taken in tother day; but blow my wig if I ha any more to do wi that shew like.--do na g'in, It be all my eye [cf.

"A design in two compartments, each based on one of the familiar 'Cries of London': In 'Le--Gagne--Petit' (left) Fox is a knife-grinder busily sharpening a headsman's axe. Arranged along his barrow are four knives of various shapes inscribed respectively 'Enquiry', 'inversion', 'sarcasm' (with a notched blade), 'incrementum'. A horn attached to the barrow is inscribed 'Fluidity', a box 'Collective Ideas'. In the background (left) is the gateway of St. James's Palace with two sentries. Behind Fox (right) is the house at the SW. corner of 'St James's St'. He wears a cap and a waistcoat showing a ragged shirtsleeve. Beneath the design is engraved: 'To be Sirs Ingenious I'll tell you my Mind 'tis for What I can get Makes me Willing to Grind.' [2] 'Poisson-Salé'. Burke walks (left to right) along Pall Mall carrying bundles of stock-fish on a pole across his shoulder; he bends forward supporting himself with a stout stick. His only garment, except hat and short wig showing his own hair, is a coat worn back to front, his legs being bare. On a wall behind him (left) are two play-bills: 'Much-Ado about Nothing Principle Performer Mr B------e with The Fathless Irishman', and 'Impeachment of Warren Hastings a Farce, as performed by the Tools of Faction St Stephens Chaple'. Beneath the design is engraved: 'Salt Fish ho 'tis I Who late Amused you all by Crying Hastings.'"--British Museum online catalogue
