"Extravagantly dressed pedestrians promenade beside (?) the Serpentine. Almost all are arm-in-arm, an exception being an ugly and complacent woman whose face is covered by a long transparent lace veil. The women walk leaning back, as in BM Satires 14438; they point their toes as if at a dancing class, drawing up their skirts, but these are less long. A fashion for stripes for women's dresses and for trousers is apparent, and for patterned materials with scalloped flounces, furbelows, ribbons, and over-trimmed hats. Curled hair frames the face and rests on the shoulders. Waists are still wasp-like for both sexes. Men wear checked neck-cloths with high collars. Much play is made with eye-glasses and canes. Hessian and top-boots are corrugated, spurs are oddly absent. The women wear very flat slippers, tied at the ankle. Beyond the water are trees."--British Museum online catalogue

"An opera-dancer, Mme Rose Didelot, is poised on her right toe, her head turned in (sharp-featured) profile to the left, holding up a long garland of roses. She wears a pseudo-classical costume, defining her person, the edge of the skirt bordered with roses, a wreath of roses in her hair which is almost short. The scenery is of trees with a landscape background."--British Museum online catalogue

"After the title: 'fully accow [crossed out and replaced with a 'u'] --tred the Hero lay.' Above the design: 'Review--PI 2.' Wellington, sword in hand, falls from his horse, his white trousers crashing into a patch of cow-dung. He wears (in place of his field-marshal's cocked hat) a bearskin so enormous that it may well have overbalanced him. His horse stands beside him, pawing the ground. Behind (right) a group of mounted officers watch the accident. On the left two privates in huge bearskins stand at attention."--British Museum online catalogue
