"A Park promenade, with wind-swept fashionables. In the foreground (left) are three tiny children, almost hidden by their huge wide-brimmed straw hats, below which ankle-length drawers are seen. With them is a wasp-waisted lady also in a big flat hat, and with inflated sleeves connected by a tiny corsage. A soldier wearing a flat cap looks down on the roof of hats with astonishment. A dandy resembling one of the Crowquills in BM Satires 15156, and holding a similar cane, is arm-in-arm with a tall man draped in high-collared and tasselled cape reaching to the ground. They meet and address two ladies. A grotesquely obese woman ogles a passer-by. The new developments in costume are trousers pinched at the knee, and inflated above and below it, and for women large flat hats with flexible brims (cf. BM Satires 15017, 15059), much-defined breasts, and draped shoulder-capes tied at the back, with a general impression of swirling draperies."--British Museum online catalogue

George III, dressed as an old woman, the Queen, and the Prince of Wales in a fool's cap decorated with his three feathers, are seated around a basin perched on the laps of the King and Queen, marked "John Bull's Blood" and filled with gold coins. All three eagerly spoon the coins into their mouths. Pouches hanging from their necks like goitres are full, except for that of the Prince of Wales, whose is empty. In the background is a wide open gate to the Treasury

"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
