Print shows three fashionable dandies in a well-furnished room. One (left) sings, seated, and with a leg resting on a second (lyre-backed) chair; he leans sentimentally, hand on heart, towards a lutanist reclining on a (Regency) sofa playing an ornate curiously shaped instrument. The third stands behind the sofa, playing a flageolet, and admiring himself in a mirror above the ornate fireplace. The vocalist holds an open music-book: 'Love has eyes.' On the floor beside him are two others: 'The Lovesick Swain set to Music' and 'Our Warbling Notes and Ivory lutes Shall ravish every ear.' Two whole length portraits flank the mirror, one of a lady in quasi-Elizabethan dress, the other of a man similarly dressed, both having pinched waists and full busts. Below one is a picture of 'Vacuna' [Goddess of rural leisure], a blowzy woman lying under a tree; below the other, a grotesque 'Narcissus' admires his reflection. On the end of the sofa sits a grotesquely clipped (and dandified) poodle suckling puppies

Abstract:
"A magistrate, identified as 'the Hon. Sir Thomas McKenny', Mayor of Dublin, sits at a table on a small dais, giving instructions to constables. On the wall behind is a crowned Irish harp. Beside him sits a clerk, pen in hand. Two ladies watch the proceedings, seated by the table. The two constables have large bludgeons; their clothes are patched and ragged, but they have a sanctimonious air. One says: "Plaise your Worship it's a scandalous shame that honest Women can't take a bit of a walk near the Royal Canal but they must shut their eyes! as the place is full of Naked blackguards; cooling themselves this hot weather." The other adds: "Upon my Soul your Honor it's all true they are standing all about the place your worship!" One woman, whose breasts are immodestly exposed, says: "What a Shame!!" The other: "What they say is very true I've seen it myself, it's a great shame." The Mayor rests one gouty foot on a stool; before him is an open book, 'Burns Justice'; its right page is inscribed: '20 pence is 1s.8d--6 & 4 is 10'. He answers with a startled expression: "Cooling themselves by J--!! in the Royal Canal too!!! the Devil burn 'em!!--I'll cool the Vagabonds-- Paddy O' Shaughnessy. I give you & Old O' Calahan the thanks of the Corporation for your Modesty, go to the canal tomorrow & take away all their cloaths, I'll teach the rascals Decency!" The clerk says: "By the Powers! we'll commit them." Two men, barelegged and ragged, look in at the door (left). One says: "Sure we are only diverting ourselves your Worship becase we have no dinner"; the other: "Faith & sure & the'll never lave us to go home Naked!" A dandy stands against the wall looking with quizzical amusement at the Mayor."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"All hunt on velocipedes; they advance (left to right) in two streams on each side of a grass plot, while in the background the huntsmen are just behind the dogs, chasing (right to left) the stag. A dandy, his machine in the air, falls head first on a woman who also obstructs a lean tailor, with shears and card of patterns in his pocket. A bare-legged chimneysweeper follows, his brush tied to the back of his machine. A lean barber and a grotesquely fat butcher follow, with a man in a smock. On the extreme left a dustman in fan-tailed hat rides with a woman seated behind him and ringing his bell. The figures in the second column are on a small scale but well characterized. Accidents and collisions occur. Two dandies (right) in the middle distance (right) are turning to follow the hounds."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The shield is a dandy's tail-coat with a pinched waist, in back view, the sleeves hooked over the left arm of the dexter supporter, and the right arm of the sinister supporter, these being dandies with the heads of apes and wearing fool's caps. From each drooping sleeve hangs a short (yellow) glove. The coat is divided by its seams, the centre-seam bisects the small figure of a dandy who is half-man, half-woman. The coat is further decorated by butterflies, stays, shirt-frill, &c. On the coat-tails are a (small) pair of breeches and two large pins. A chain is slung over the sleeves and hangs across the hips, supporting an eye-glass. The crest is a pair of tightly laced stays supporting a bulging bust, an elongated cravat, and high collar framing a wig-block with blank features and large ass's ears, and surmounted by a bell-shaped top-hat. Each supporter holds a tubular bottle of 'Eau de Cologne'. The motto: 'Dandi, Dando, Dandum' is on a scroll formed of a widely extended pair of (loose) white trousers; from this hangs, like the Order of the Fleece, a small dog. This is: 'Order of Puppyism suspended in French Siffener' [sic]. The coat is also held erect by a centre pole, and by two spurred boots, sole upwards, each resting on a toe of one of the supporters who are poised mincingly on the trousers. Below the design: 'Coat of Arms. Azure. The Sexes impaled improper between two Butterflies--Two flanches; on the dexter [i.e. sinister] flanch three pair of Stays, argent, the sinister flanch charged with Rouge Pomatm & smellg bottle, On the Canton, Dexter [sinister] a frill rampant in the sinister Canton a false collar rampant--small cloaths passive in pile supported by pins--Supporters--Two Monkies--proper-- Crest, a pr of Stays full padded--supporting a Cravat & Collar Rampant proper, holding a blockhead argent & gules, winged with asses ears proper the whole under cover of a Sable Bever'."--British Museum online catalogue
