Abstract:
"A magistrate, identified as 'the Hon. Sir Thomas McKenny', Mayor of Dublin, sits at a table on a small dais, giving instructions to constables. On the wall behind is a crowned Irish harp. Beside him sits a clerk, pen in hand. Two ladies watch the proceedings, seated by the table. The two constables have large bludgeons; their clothes are patched and ragged, but they have a sanctimonious air. One says: "Plaise your Worship it's a scandalous shame that honest Women can't take a bit of a walk near the Royal Canal but they must shut their eyes! as the place is full of Naked blackguards; cooling themselves this hot weather." The other adds: "Upon my Soul your Honor it's all true they are standing all about the place your worship!" One woman, whose breasts are immodestly exposed, says: "What a Shame!!" The other: "What they say is very true I've seen it myself, it's a great shame." The Mayor rests one gouty foot on a stool; before him is an open book, 'Burns Justice'; its right page is inscribed: '20 pence is 1s.8d--6 & 4 is 10'. He answers with a startled expression: "Cooling themselves by J--!! in the Royal Canal too!!! the Devil burn 'em!!--I'll cool the Vagabonds-- Paddy O' Shaughnessy. I give you & Old O' Calahan the thanks of the Corporation for your Modesty, go to the canal tomorrow & take away all their cloaths, I'll teach the rascals Decency!" The clerk says: "By the Powers! we'll commit them." Two men, barelegged and ragged, look in at the door (left). One says: "Sure we are only diverting ourselves your Worship becase we have no dinner"; the other: "Faith & sure & the'll never lave us to go home Naked!" A dandy stands against the wall looking with quizzical amusement at the Mayor."--British Museum online catalogue

"One of a pair, with the same signatures and imprint, see No. 12929. Two couples dance with vigour, holding hands in a line, the ladies facing right, the men left. Other couples stand. Fashionable dress is burlesqued, the ladies with very décolletée and short-waisted dress, with short skirts, very wide, flounced, and projecting. One has a grotesque coiffure, hair strained into a pyramid, bound with ribbon, and topped by an absurd flower. The dandified men wear knee-breeches or tight pantaloons with high collars; hair cropped on the neck and projecting like an inverted basin. The room is bare except for festooned curtains."--British Museum online catalogue

"A fat squat and ugly woman sits on a sofa next a tall dandified officer (right) who makes his address, his hand on his breast. She turns to him complacently, her feet awkwardly resting on a stool. Their two dogs face each other, each with shape and manner corresponding with its owner. Two appropriate pictures are on the wall: Bank of England (left) and Seige of Acre (right)."--British Museum online catalogue

"Promenaders in Hyde Park illustrate these titles. [1] A dandy walks, right to left, jauntily rakish, holding a lorgnette and glove in a gloved hand. He wears a large bell-shaped top-hat, beneath which projects a great tuft of curled hair. Under his arm is a rolled umbrella. [2] A Quaker, in a shallow broad-brimmed hat, walks primly (right to left) with a young (twin) daughter on each arm. He holds a large gamp umbrella, fastened and point downwards. [3] A thin man wearing a long greatcoat and seedy top-hat, walks (left to right) with an expression of acute melancholy. He trails behind him an unfastened umbrella. He faces heavy wind and slanting rain. Beside him is a small dead tree. Near each is an appropriate dog."--British Museum online catalogue

"A disorderly mass of pedestrians fills the pavement outside the White Horse in Piccadilly, the street slanting in perspective from left to right. The pillared porch of the hotel is flanked by large curved windows, above which is the inscription 'Coffee House & Hotel'. The porch is inscribed 'Hatchetts', above it, against the wall, is the (pictorial) sign of a white horse, inscribed: 'Coaches & waggons to all parts of the kingdom'. Above the area railings, which are hidden by the crowd, is a placard (over the entrance to the basement): 'White Horse cellar coaches to all part[s]'. In the foreground (right) a coach and pair with outside passengers is driven recklessly (right to left) by a driver in a many-caped coat; an angry man sprawls by the horses' hoofs, another escapes to the right. A box-like coach or wagon facing in the opposite direction is on the off-side of the first; a man pushes a fat woman in at the back, while two outside passengers are about to fall from the roof, which is open. It is inscribed 'T[O] . . . MERS . . . TURNHAM' [? To Amersham by Turnham Green]. At the edge of the pavement stands a tough-looking coach-tout pointing out the Amersham wagon to an oafish-looking and would-be fashionable countryman whose pocket is being picked by a little Jewish boy; a Jewish woman with a basket of fruit slung from her neck deftly screens him. A raffish tout dressed as a coachman assails alarmed pedestrians with violent gestures. A stout John Bull pushes violently past a Jewish fruit-seller, spilling the fruit, while the Jew takes a watch from his fob. A boy diving for the falling fruit upsets a man carrying on his head and porter's knot a large corded chest. A little chimney-sweep with twisted shin-bones quizzes an amused negro servant, who holds a band-box, and is smartly dressed, but wears an apron. Facing the coaches stands a newsboy, holding up his papers to the passengers. He holds his horn; in his hat is a placard: 'Great News from St Hel[ena]'. Below, where the crowd is thickest in front of the hotel porch, men fight with fists. Two dandies stand under the porch, above the mêlée."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The shield is a dandy's tail-coat with a pinched waist, in back view, the sleeves hooked over the left arm of the dexter supporter, and the right arm of the sinister supporter, these being dandies with the heads of apes and wearing fool's caps. From each drooping sleeve hangs a short (yellow) glove. The coat is divided by its seams, the centre-seam bisects the small figure of a dandy who is half-man, half-woman. The coat is further decorated by butterflies, stays, shirt-frill, &c. On the coat-tails are a (small) pair of breeches and two large pins. A chain is slung over the sleeves and hangs across the hips, supporting an eye-glass. The crest is a pair of tightly laced stays supporting a bulging bust, an elongated cravat, and high collar framing a wig-block with blank features and large ass's ears, and surmounted by a bell-shaped top-hat. Each supporter holds a tubular bottle of 'Eau de Cologne'. The motto: 'Dandi, Dando, Dandum' is on a scroll formed of a widely extended pair of (loose) white trousers; from this hangs, like the Order of the Fleece, a small dog. This is: 'Order of Puppyism suspended in French Siffener' [sic]. The coat is also held erect by a centre pole, and by two spurred boots, sole upwards, each resting on a toe of one of the supporters who are poised mincingly on the trousers. Below the design: 'Coat of Arms. Azure. The Sexes impaled improper between two Butterflies--Two flanches; on the dexter [i.e. sinister] flanch three pair of Stays, argent, the sinister flanch charged with Rouge Pomatm & smellg bottle, On the Canton, Dexter [sinister] a frill rampant in the sinister Canton a false collar rampant--small cloaths passive in pile supported by pins--Supporters--Two Monkies--proper-- Crest, a pr of Stays full padded--supporting a Cravat & Collar Rampant proper, holding a blockhead argent & gules, winged with asses ears proper the whole under cover of a Sable Bever'."--British Museum online catalogue

"Three dandies (see No. 13029) inspect a velocipede (see No. 13399), which the dealer, bow-legged, horsy, and flashy-looking, holds by the steering-handle. They are outside a stable with an aperture through which look three hungry and startled horses. Above the closed door is a board: 'Stables [scored through] Hobby Horses taken in to mind or Stand at Livery NB a Fine Stud of Real Horses To Be Sold as cheap as dogs meat -- The present proprietor going into the Hobby Line.' A lean stable-hand in patched clothes sits against the wall on an overturned bucket, curry-comb and broom beside him. He glares with a twisted grimace at the velocipede. At his feet is a book: 'Othello's Occupation's gone.' The dealer looks slyly at a dandy (right) who stands with his hands on a cane: "I'll warrant him sound Sir & free from Vice." The other answers: "I can see he has been down once or twice though my lad." A second dandy stoops, hand on knees, to inspect the bar or pole: "He seems to me Jack not to have quite Barrel enough." The third, holding an eye-glass to his eye, says: "Good fore hand by Jupiter." They wear rakish bell-shaped top-hats. In the background a dandy on a velocipede follows a lady, similarly mounted; both wear top-hats; behind them rides a sour-looking groom."--British Museum online catalogue
