- Abstract:
- Pairs of elegantly dressed and coiffed ladies and gentlemen sit around a long table drinking champagne. On a dais sits 'Perdita' (Mary Robinson) who assures the Prince of Wales of her undying love. He looks at her adoringly and says, "Now what care I for Mom and Dad, let 'em scold and bellow." His left hand rests on books piled up on the table (the titles of which are also listed in the publisher's advertisement). Another lady on his left looking at him may be Elizabeth Armitstead (later Mrs. Fox) who succeeded Mrs. Robinson as his mistress. Other members of this group include Lord Derby and his actress wife, Elizabeth Farren, and Charles James Fox. The location appears to be the Schomberg House where James Graham established his 'Temple of Health and Hymen' famous for its 'Celestial Bed' (cf. British Museum catalogue no. 6325). Allusion to George IV's coming of age

- Abstract:
- Three woman and a man advance from the left with a blanket on which to toss an unsuspecting artist who is seated at the right side of the print. All display the excessive hair styles of the period. The individuals with the blanket appear to be characters from a print which hangs on the wall behind them, "The back-side of a front row" (British Museum cataloge 5430), who have come to punish the artist for his caricatures. The artist holds in his hand "Miss Shuttle cock" (British Museum catalogue 5376) which also bears the monogram RS, thereby identifying the artist as Richard Sneer. Another print on the wall, entitled "Lex talionis", depicts a person being tossed in a blanket
