- Abstract:
- "Officers promenade, swaggering selfconsciously; three couples are arm-in-arm. One pair, one of whom is a lancer with a moustache, arrogantly stare at a taller and more dignified Life Guards officer wearing a huge curling plume on the crest of his helmet. All have small high waists with belts or sashes, bulging breasts, high collars, and stocks, narrow and sometimes tiny coat-tails, tight sleeves, high padded shoulders; usually a bush of hair projects from a fantastic shako or helmet. The two Life Guards officers have boots, wide at the top, reaching to the thigh. Two officers wear fantastically large plumed shakos. An officer in back view, (?) the Duke of York, wears the plumed hat of a field-marshal, and is arm-in-arm with a very tall thin officer"--British Museum online catalogue, description of S.W.

- Abstract:
- "Probably a copy of an English print. A dandy (cf. No. 13029) stands on the pavement outside an open ground-floor sash-window, ogling two welcoming young women through a lorgnette, regardless of the bailiff who takes his shoulder and proffers a writ. A second dandy, in the background, seeing the bailiff, drops his cane and runs away terror-stricken. The dandy's costume is that of c. 1820. Below the title: 'The Dandy squinting through his glass, Surveys the Ladies as they pass, But still the Fribble lacks the wit To guard against the Bailiffs writ.'"--British Museum online catalogue
