"Twelve single figures arranged in two rows, their complacent soliloquies etched above their heads, e.g. [3] An ugly woman dressed in a travesty of the fashion, with one large feather in her hair, large ear-rings, and an enormous oval miniature slung from her neck, holds up a small parasol, projecting at an angle from its clumsy stick. She says: "True happiness undoubtedly consists in an elegant taste for the Bon Ton." [4] A stout ugly woman says: "Though I am none of your flan dan Ladies I believe I can buy one half of them." One of a set."--British Museum online catalogue

"Mrs. Clarke and four other women stoop down and directs blasts from large posteriors, defined by tight dresses, against the sails of a windmill (right) which pivot upon the head of the Duke of York. The four sails are inscribed respectively, Army, State, Navy, Church. The mill, on a low hill to which a winding path ascends, is Commission Warehouse. The names of the five meretricious-looking women are inscribed on their posteriors. One clutching a tree, on the extreme left, and advantageously placed on a hillock, is Carey. She says: If this wont raise the Wind, I do not know what will, This is not the first time I have employed my bottom to raise the Wind. The other four are close together: Cressaid, Sutherland, Cook, and Clarke, who says: Aye and no bad way to raise an Army-also. Between the women and the mill stands a dismayed little man with arms extended; he says: O ho this will not bring Grist to my Mill I must put a stop to this; and remove this Mill to Charing Cross."--British Museum online catalogue
