"A foppish parson, directed to the left, wearing a voluminous surplice over a high 'dandy' (cf. British Museum Satires No. 13029) collar, with bands, and displaying elegant be-ringed hands, preaches from a pulpit, the upper part only of which is depicted. In his eye is stuck a monocle with short handle and cord. A large book is on his pulpit-cushion, which is elaborately trimmed with gold fringe, and he reads with a complacent smile: "And behold in these times the Dan-dees were" / "arrayed in Garments of divers fashions--and in" / "fine Linens curiously wrought--and moreover--" / "they were gazed upon by the bretheren of the Land," / "in which they dwelt--and the people marvelled." / "Lib. 2-- ver 6. 7. 8"."--British Museum online catalogue

"A companion plate to No. 12826. Byron is the centre of a promenade scene resembling No. 12840; he walks (left to right) with a lady on each arm; they have some resemblance to two of the women in No. 12826, and one may be Mrs. Mardyn. Both frown angrily; one holds a huge muff. Byron wears a bell-shaped top-hat on projecting curls, with a high collar and stock, and a coat buttoned to the waist, and sweeping the ground, with baggy trousers gathered at the ankle. They meet a third lady, apparently pregnant, both arms in a muff, who stares angrily at Byron. All wear flaunting hats or bonnets with high cylindrical crowns, short full skirts. Behind them walks a stout ugly woman who passes a letter to a man behind her, grinning slyly, while he leers grotesquely and thrusts papers into a reticule hanging from her wrist. He is an absurd dandy with very wide trousers, shock of hair, small hat, and high neck-cloth. In the background is a high phaeton driven by a man of fashion. In the foreground (left) is an amateur coachman in back view, holding a coach-whip, and wearing a voluminous multi-caped coat resting on the ground (cf. No. 12375)."--British Museum online catalogue
