"A promenade in Hyde Park. Pelisses heavily trimmed with fur, large muffs, and feathered hats are conspicuous; skirts, slightly trained, reach the ground. One woman wears a much-patterned and flounced dress, without a wrap, and a bonnet surmounted with realistic flowers. The leaning back attitude in walking (see British Museum Satires No. 14438) is that of one woman only; she takes the arm of a dandy in frogged coat and inflated white trousers. A man in a tight-waisted overcoat with large buttons worn with boots, breeches, and a checked neck-cloth, his hands in his pockets, is conspicuous: the lady taking his arm wears much ermine, with a muff and a hat which is a base for towering roses and a dangling lace veil. Uniforms are absent."--British Museum online catalogue

"A promenade in Hyde Park. Innovations are that the men have trousers pinched at the knee, hour-glass fashion, their hats have small crowns, truncated cones, like the Petersham hat, some wear flat pumps with bows, and hold small riding-whips. They have enormous whiskers, patently false, sometimes meeting under the chin. The women have much-trimmed hats with large brims, gigot sleeves, belted dresses, with full skirts. There are three little children, all with plain straw hats with vast brims, like flat mushrooms; a little girl has a hoop, a boy a whip."--British Museum online catalogue

"Two men stand on the pavement outside a door-way under the pediment of which are the royal arms. Beneath them and over the doorway is inscribed, "Lovejoy, Kings arms Tavern", cf. British Museum Satires No. 4995. This appears to be a representation of the entrance to Covent Garden Theatre. The taller of the two men (left) has snatched off the other's wig, and holds it up in his right hand. In his left hand is his sword, broken off below the hilt; his hat is on the ground. Behind and to the right stands a short stout man with bare shaved head; his hat is in his right hand. The taller man is dressed in the prevailing macaroni fashion and has a certain resemblance to Colman, then part-proprietor and manager of Covent Garden Theatre, see British Museum Satires No. 5064. The wig of the other is of the type worn by 'cits', see British Museum Satires No. 5463."--British Museum online catalogue
