- Abstract:
- "Louis XVIII, grotesquely obese (left), and the Tsar kiss, their lips touching. Louis, whose head is much the larger, grasps the back of Alexander's head; the Tsar bends from the waist to reach beyond the King's paunch. Louis, with the gouty legs and old-fashioned gold-embroidered coat and waistcoat of English caricature, wears the order of the Saint Esprit. The Tsar, in uniform, has the high pinched waist and bulging breast of the dandy (cf. British Museum Satires No. 13029) with enormous cavalry boots to the thigh, huge epaulets, and a sash, but no sword. He says: "My Dear Legitimate Brother (tho I believe I call Boney the same) I am happy to serve you tho your cursed Country Men almost destroyed my country--" Louis answers: "Ma Chere [sic] Ami, I am so rejoiced at your Brotherly Kindness in putting off our payment & takeing off your Troops that I could Devour you." The embrace is watched by two Frenchmen on the left, and on the right by the King of Prussia, the Emperor of Austria, and a young man (? Napoleon's son). Frederick William wears dandified uniform like that of the Tsar but with long trousers; he supports a large sword hanging from a belt, and holds a huge cocked hat; he watches the embrace with distaste, saying, "I am obliged to follow the Leaders at Present." Francis I says: "I must agree for the moment but I have a Grandson." One Frenchman wears uniform with top-boots; he says: "De Legitimate francais be too much for John Bull de manoeuvre by Gar ve want de Time & we show dem vat ve intend." His companion, an elderly man wearing a court suit with a powdered wig (Richelieu attended the Conference on behalf of France) says delightedly: "Ah-ha he do him vid Compliments & den we do them out of the Money." Behind them is a row of melancholy knock-kneed Grenadiers."--British Museum online catalogue

- "A promenade, with clouds added in watercolour as the only background; dandies are smoking cheroots and puffing out clouds of smoke. One stoops, puffing into a lady's face which is thus completely hidden; she staggers back; on an ascending cloud are the words Fond of Steaming Ladies? do you Smoke it, Eh! A second man stands over him, also smoking hard. On the left a dandy's moustache is blazing, he staggers back, his hat falling, his cheroot on the ground, and shouts Fire Fire Oh Dear my best Mustacios will be quite Destroyed. The man behind him, letting his cheroot fall from his mouth, screams Fire Fire. On the extreme left a fireman with the badge of the Sun Fire Office on his arm laughs, saying, Why Master I must fetch our Engine to put out your Steam Engine. The men wear bell-shaped top-hats, coats with a large collar standing away from the neck, and sometimes "with a single cape to the waist; trousers are full at the waist and tightly strapped over spurred boots. The women wear fur tippets and feathered bonnets; one has a huge muff."--British Museum online catalogue, description of reissued state

- "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 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

- "Officers promenade, swaggering selfconsciously; three couples are arm-in-arm. One pair, one of whom is a lancer with a moustache, arrogantly stare at a taller and more dignified Life Guards officer wearing a huge curling plume on the crest of his helmet. All have small high waists with belts or sashes, bulging breasts, high collars, and stocks, narrow and sometimes tiny coat-tails, tight sleeves, high padded shoulders; usually a bush of hair projects from a fantastic shako or helmet. The two Life Guards officers have boots, wide at the top, reaching to the thigh. Two officers wear fantastically large plumed shakos. An officer in back view, (?) the Duke of York, wears the plumed hat of a field-marshal, and is arm-in-arm with a very tall thin officer"--British Museum online catalogue, description of S.W.
