"An elderly man, bent to deformity, thin and shambling, in profile to the left, follows two flamboyant prostitutes who walk arm-in-arm, looking behind them. He supports himself on a walking-stick; from his pocket protrudes a book: 'Modest Prints'. The women's dresses trail on the pavement, but one lifts her skirt to display her legs. The background is formed of the massive stones at the corner of a high building."--British Museum online catalogue

"Whole length portrait of a man walking (right to left) with a mincing gait, left toe turned out. He looks through an eye-glass with a frowning grimace. His left hand, holding a bludgeon, is on his hip. His hair is cropped and he has side-whiskers, and is dressed in the manner adopted by the rakes and bloods of 1791, wearing a high-crowned hat, a waistcoat with a high collar at the back; his coat is slipped off his shoulder, showing the upper part of his shirt-sleeve. He wears long breeches or pantaloons and very short top-boots, see BMSat 8040, &c. In the background is a piece of water, trees, and buildings. He resembles Lord Barrymore. In the background is indicated a house (right) with a park wall and trees reflected in water."--British Museum online catalogue

"A design partly bisected by a vertical line. The same lady sits (left) directed to the left at her dressing-table, wearing only a long chemise or petticoat, and slippers. On the right she sits, in the same attitude but directed to the right, fully dressed at the same dressing-table. In undress she is almost bald; a wig of naturally-dressed hair is on a stand on the table. She has an over-long neck and skinny arms. On the the table (left) are her fan, a locket suspended on a ribbon, cosmetic-boxes, and a bottle labelled 'Wrinkles'. When dressed her neck is concealed by a lace ruffle on a chemisette, she has long rucked sleeves, in her gloved hand is her fan. She wears a high-waisted gown under which her legs are defined; she wears elaborately embroidered stockings with flat slippers. Her wig seems to be luxuriant natural hair; she wears an ear-ring. On the dressing-table are boxes, a bottle of 'Lavender', and tickets inscribed 'Opera' and 'Cards'. She looks young and handsome, the dress (not exaggerated) effectively concealing her weakest points."--British Museum online catalogue
