"A scene outside the orchestra at Vauxhall. A stout woman puts a handkerchief round her husband's neck to protect him from the night air. Her daughter holds her fan to her face and looks towards a beau in the middle distance who inspects her through his glass. A waiter walks off (right) with glasses and a bottle. There are other figures. The background shows the orchestra (left), with two musicians, and the organ; on the right are trees, and the 'covered walk'; two men sit at a table with a bowl of punch."--British Museum online catalogue

Satire: Britannia, whose spear is broken in her hand, sits on a monumental statue which is placed on a pedestal of "Rotten Stone"; she says: "My leaness my leaness, wo untio me the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously, yea the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously. ..." At the foot of the monument lies the British Lion, dreadfully emaciated, wounded by three daggers, and breathing his last. Near him are the personifications Truth, Rapine, Envy, Ingratitude, and Infidelity -- representations of the powers of Europe
