Abstract:
"Two Thames watermen pull a pair-oar wherry towards riverside stairs, much amused at the effects of the wind on a fat 'cit' and a pretty young woman whom he is leading out of the boat. His hat and wig blow off, as does her hat, while her parasol is blown inside out. Other fat and elderly grotesques on the stairs (right) chase hats and wigs. Two comely young women sit in the stern (left). The houses by the stairs are ancient and small. The river is wide; on the opposite side (left) are buildings closely grouped round a large church, and suggesting Southwark."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"A French petit-maître stands 'chapeau-bras' (left), in profile to the left, bending forward, his left hand in his breeches pocket, his right hand raised. Behind him are five ladies on their knees, making gestures of supplication. He wears bag-wig, laced suit, and sword. The ladies, who are young and pretty, wear feathered hats or feathers in their hair. He says, "parblue Mesdames vous n'y viendrez pas." Beneath the title is etched: 'With clasped hands and bended knees, They humbly sought the Count to please, And beg'd admission to his house, Not that for him they care'd a louse, But wish'd within his walls to shine, And shew those charms they think divine, His Ex beheld these Belles unmov'd, His A------e their impudence reproved, Cannaille he said shoud ne'er come there & rumped them with a pet en l'air'."--British Museum online catalogue

Adhémar, Jean-Balthazar d'Azemar de Montfalcon, comte d', 1731-1791
A sour looking wife, her face covered in carbuncles, chastises her abject-looking husband for keeping her waiting. The wife sits before a clock which reads 8:30. Behind her chair is hidden a wine glass and a wine bottle labelled "Nants". She says: "Here have I been sitting up for you these four hours without anything to comfort me Mr. Fillpot. I will not suffer it." He responds: "Don't be angry, you beauty! I have only been drinking your health with Squir Guzzle 'pon honor."
