"Four persons gazing at the prints displayed in a print-shop closely resembling though not identical with that in British Museum Satire no. 3758 (1774) which is evidently by the same artist. A man and woman (left) in macaroni dress stand together, he holds her left hand smiling, and pointing at one of the prints with his right hand. She turns aside smiling behind her fan. Two men (right) stand in conversation; one (right) points out to the other, who is in back view, both hands held up in astonishment, one of the prints in the top row, apparently that of Wesley. Other prints print of John Bunyan and George Whitefield. A dog befouls the foot of the man facing the shop-window."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Two men face each other with pistols, their seconds stand behind them. The duellist on the left kneels on one knee, his right arm outstretched, his pistol in his left hand, the barrel pointing upwards as if to ward off his opponent's shot; his left elbow rests on his knee. His second stands with his arms folded. The other has just fired his pistol which is aimed directly at his antagonist. His second, with a pistol in his left hand, is shouting with his right arm raised. They are in open country; hills are indicated in the distance."--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

"A promenade in Hyde Park. Innovations are that the men have trousers pinched at the knee, hour-glass fashion, their hats have small crowns, truncated cones, like the Petersham hat, some wear flat pumps with bows, and hold small riding-whips. They have enormous whiskers, patently false, sometimes meeting under the chin. The women have much-trimmed hats with large brims, gigot sleeves, belted dresses, with full skirts. There are three little children, all with plain straw hats with vast brims, like flat mushrooms; a little girl has a hoop, a boy a whip."--British Museum online catalogue

"Three stages of a dandy: [1] He sits in an arm-chair, in a flowered dressing-gown, reading the 'Literary Gazette' [Jerdan's weekly review], and negligently dangling a coffee-cup. His whiskers, like his hair, are in curl-papers. [2] He stands full-face, smoking a small cigar and holding a riding-switch. A small top-hat is poised on flowing curls which mingle with his whiskers; his contour is feminine, with long tight-waisted double-breasted coat over very wide trousers. [3] In tail-coat and tight pantaloons he sits, playing a guitar and singing loudly. His hair is more tightly curled than in [2]. In all three his sleeves are tight but puffed on the shoulder. His flat pumps have large ribbon bows."--British Museum online catalogue
