"Fashionably dressed men and women, in acute discomfort, hasten from right to left. A lady in the foreground (right) taking the arm of a dandy resembles Mrs. Robertson, see British Museum Satires No. 14557. There is a background of bushes and trees. The head of a black footman, wearing a cocked hat, pops up from behind a bush. On the extreme right is part of the Pump Room, with central cupola and pillared portico."--British Museum online catalogue

On the left under the title "England" a bear sits at a table enjoying a hearty meal of roast beef and plum pudding while across from him sits a frog in a French uniform with a sword at his waist, a plate of only sauce before him and two turnips to the side. The fox toasts his companion with a glass while the bear holds up a large frothing mug of beer. A wine cooler in the foreground holds four bottles of wine. On the wall behind each figure is a round framed image: two birds above the bear and a woman holding a cross (a saint?) above the frog

A view of the interior of a busy English barracks shows a more domestic than military atmosphere although weapons and other gear adorn the walls and lay scattered on the floor. The scene includes a woman nursing a baby (left); beside her, one soldier brushes his britches while another adjusts his helmet. A second woman (center) carries a child on her back as she hands a drink to a soldier who sits on a bunk; a basket of rolls (?) hangs from her arm. A third woman (left) stands at a washing tub wringing out clothes as she looks up approvingly at a young boy dressed as a soldier; beside her a handsome, well-dressed solder holds a baby who smiles at the scene

"A procession of characters riding fantastic velocipedes (see British Museum Satires No. 13399), in profile to the right, each an isolated figure, arranged in two rows divided by a horizontal line. Each machine is an appropriate object mounted on two wheels. [1] 'The Aldermans Hobby'. Fat, drink-blotched, and with gouty legs, he rides a turtle. [2] 'The Sailors Hobby'. He vigorously rides an anchor, despite a wooden leg. He has a pugnacious expression, and a long pigtail. [3] 'The Jews Hobby'. He has a beard and rides a bag of 'Old Clothes'. [4] 'The Doctors Hobby'. A very thin apothecary, a medicine-bottle in his pocket, rides a 'Mortar', using the pestle as a steering-rod. [5] 'The Ireishmans Hobby'. A peasant, with one shoe and stocking, a straw rope twisted round the other leg, rides a bull, holding it by the horns. Cf. (e.g.) British Museum Satires No. 5605, by Gillray. [6] 'John Bulls Hobby'. A jovial and paunchy fellow rides a huge round of beef, inscribed 'Rump of Beef 4p. lb.', the dish being on rollers. He holds up a tankard of 'Porter' and knife in his right hand, sticking a fork into the meat. [7] 'The Welchmans Hobby'. He rides a goat whose legs are planted on two disks inscribed 'Cheese'; he has a goat-like profile and in his hat is a leek. [8] 'The Real Dandy Hobby'. A dandy strides along on a correctly drawn machine. He wears breeches, full in the seat, with spurred top-boots."--British Museum online catalogue

"A dandy lies back fainting in a chair, his limbs rigid, supported by three others while a fourth (left) draws the curtain, cutting off a view of the (distant) stage where a singer is posturing. The three supporters say: "I am so frighten'd I can hardly stand!"; "mind you dont soil the Dear's linnen," and, "I dread the consequence! that last Air of Signeur Nonballenas has thrown him in such raptures, we must call a Doctor --[a name has been erased] immediately!" The last holds a bottle of 'Eau de Colonge' [sic] to the patient's nostril. The fourth turns to say: "I must draw the curtain or his screams will alarm the House--you have no fello feeling my dear fellos, pray unlace the dear loves Stays, and lay him on the Couch." The box is large with couch (right) and table with decanters, dish of peaches, and two candles. On the floor beside a low-crowned hat is a fan. The four dandies register consternation. All are dressed in the usual manner, two wear wide short trousers, the others tight breeches or pantaloons. For dandies as epicene creatures see also Nos. 13239, 13394, 13447."--British Museum online catalogue
