"Lord Wycombe, scarcely caricatured, walks to the left, his head in profile, left hand on hip, right on a club-like walking-stick. His coat is curiously cut, his (striped) waistcoat longer and breeches shorter than the contemporary fashion. He wears a neck-cloth and shoes. His gait is slouching and his dress rather slovenly. Clouds form a background."--British Museum online catalogue.

"An ugly man (left) kneels (on a spotted handkerchief) at the feet of a plain old maid seated on an upright chair; he holds her left hand, his right is on his breast. She holds up her fan in a way more encouraging than coy. Both grin broadly. A patterned carpet and plain wall complete the design."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Two ladies (left) walk arm-in-arm to the left; a good-looking man, extravagantly dressed, stands (right) legs apart, head turned to inspect them as if they were strange specimens. One, short and fat, wears a round straw cap over a shock of hair which covers her eyes, she holds up a small jointed parasol to shield her face. The other, taller, wears a shovel-shaped scoop of straw tied to her head and projecting far beyond her face. Both have bare arms with long gloves, and transparent draperies which define the figure. The man wears an exaggerated Jean de Bry coat with high inflated sleeves, cut above the waist in front, with tails which show between his legs. A high swathed neck-cloth covers his chin and sets off bushy whiskers. His boots have high tasselled fronts above the knee and elongated toes. There is a background of trees with three other figures similarly dressed, one wears striped trousers of nautical cut instead of boots and pantaloons."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Lord Moira, rigid and impassive, stands in profile to the left, right hand on his tasselled stick, left hand on hip, wearing quasi-military dress with looped cocked hat and high boots. Clouds, so coloured as to suggest a distant conflagration, and a low horizon, curved as if to indicate the edge of the globe, form a background. ..."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A half length portrait in an oval of the Duke of Cumberland in profile to the left, scarcely caricatured, but with a half-closed eye which gives an expression of arrogance. He wears a hat whose curving brim shades his eyes and rests on his high coat-collar. His chin is swathed in a stock, and an eye-glass hangs from a ribbon."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Whole length caricature portrait. Suvóroff stands gazing into space with fierce melancholy, right hand on the hilt of a sabre dripping with blood, left hand on his hip. He has Kalmuck features, a bald head with a sabre-cut, moustaches. He wears a fur-bordered tunic and fur-topped boots with heavy spurs; a fur-lined cloak hangs from his shoulders. A miniature is suspended from a button. The smoke from a burning town on the horizon (right) slants across the background. Beneath the title: '"This extraordinary Man is now in the prime of life, - Six Feet, Ten Inches in height; - never \ "tastes either Wine or Spirits; takes but one Meal a day; " & every Morning plunges into an Ice Bath; - \ "his Wardrobe consists of a plain Shirt, a White Waistcoat & Breeches, short Boots, & a Russian Cloak; \ "he wears no covering on his head either by day or night - when tired, he wraps himself up in \ "a Blanket & sleeps in the open air; - he has fought 29 pitched Battles, & been in 75 Engagements" - See Vienna Gazzette.'"--British Museum online catalogue.

"Skeffington, in back view, stands squarely, but looks smiling to the right, his sharp features in profile. He wears a round hat, powdered hair, with a dark whisker, a much-wrinkled Jean de Bry coat (see BMSat 9425), breeches, and top-boots with spike toes. His coat-collar and shoulders are thickly coated with hair-powder (cf. BMSat 8190). His attitude is that of one displaying his ungainly costume. He faces a path which leads to a distant gibbet."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A bust portrait of Tandy (1740-1803) looking to the left. He wears the double-breasted, high-collared coat of a French officer, with epaulettes. He looks a sick man, his (white) hair is short and unkempt, his face deeply seamed; his drooping, bulbous nose and look of melancholy wariness give an impression of caricature, but the characterization appears to be excellent, cf. a portrait engraved by Heath after J. Petrie, published 1815."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Caricature portrait of John Penn (1760-1834), miscellaneous writer and grandson of the founder of Pennsylvania. He stands in profile to the left, his feet splayed out, wearing a round hat, gloves, wrinkled Jean de Bry coat (see BMSat 9425), pantaloons tied above the ankles, and heelless slippers with spike toes. In his left hand is a cane. He has a vacant expression with gaping, fish-like mouth and receding chin. A flagged pavement, brick wall, and cast shadows form a background. The title continues: '- NB; This Title has no affinity to Pen, as connected with the Goose-Quill; nor has it any allusion to Penguin, a stupid creature between a Fish & a Fowl; - the word is simply derived from Pen, as the Instrument used to express the deep researches of the mind; see the St James's Street chitchat - respecting a Keen Pen; - a Witty Pen; - & a Pen, often Cut, but never mended.'"--British Museum online catalogue.
