"A black man, dressed as a macaroni except for his tightly curled natural wool, walks in profile to the right. His right hand holds a cane, his left is on the hilt of a short curved sword or sabre with an ornamental hilt affected by macaronis."--British Museum online catalogue and "Perhaps a caricature of Jeremiah Dyson, always called Mungo after the name had been given him in a debate by Col. Barré, 29 Jan. 1769. Mungo was a negro slave in the comic opera 'The Padlock' by Bickerstaffe, and the name implied that Dyson was kept at dirty jobs for the Government."--Curator's comments, British Museum online catalogue

"A fight between Lyndhurst and Peel with Ellenborough and Wellington as bottle-holders. Lyndhurst (left), in Chancellor's wig and gown, staggers back, arms flung out, at a punch on the nose from Peel who lunges forward, ruthlessly pugnacious. Ellenborough, dressed and behaving as a dandy (in tight-waisted blue coat and white bell-shaped trousers), holding a tubular eau-de-cologne bottle, emblem of the dandy, cf. BM Satires No. 13031, registers alarm, exclaiming, 'Oh! Oh! my dear Lud, take care--he's a terrible hitter--or he'll have your Ludship's dear head in Chancery.' Wellington (right), in uniform with sword, gauntlets, and heavily spurred cavalry boots, says: 'That's it Bob; serve him out--He won't ride rusty after this I know.'"--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.

"Two men stand on the pavement outside a door-way under the pediment of which are the royal arms. Beneath them and over the doorway is inscribed, "Lovejoy, Kings arms Tavern", cf. British Museum Satires No. 4995. This appears to be a representation of the entrance to Covent Garden Theatre. The taller of the two men (left) has snatched off the other's wig, and holds it up in his right hand. In his left hand is his sword, broken off below the hilt; his hat is on the ground. Behind and to the right stands a short stout man with bare shaved head; his hat is in his right hand. The taller man is dressed in the prevailing macaroni fashion and has a certain resemblance to Colman, then part-proprietor and manager of Covent Garden Theatre, see British Museum Satires No. 5064. The wig of the other is of the type worn by 'cits', see British Museum Satires No. 5463."--British Museum online catalogue

His right hand is thrust under his waistcoat and under his right arm is a macaroni cane. He wears a low three-cornered hat, frilled shirt and cravat, striped breeches and a sword. On the ground is a fragment of carved classical frieze, a paper and a pair of compasses."--British Museum online catalogue and "Probably a portrait of Robert Adam, the most celebrated of the Adam brothers. The book is perhaps intended for 'Works in Architecture' by Robert and James Adam, whose publication in folio parts began in 1773."--Curator's comments, British Museum online catalogue
