- Abstract:
- "Two timorous duellists face each other at close quarters in a saw-pit, trembling and dropping their weapons, namely pistol and blunderbuss; each has a heap of weapons at his feet: sabres, rapier, pistol, more blunderbusses. The hair of both rises on their heads. One (left) is in uniform, the other (right), who is smaller, wears fashionable civilian dress with tasselled Hessian boots. A scroll extends above their heads inscribed: 'Did you mean to Offend me? indeed Sir not I.--indeed Sir I'm very glad on't!!!' A spectator (right) looks over the edge of the pit, holding a bowl from which he blows soap bubbles, which float over the head of the civilian. The bubble in the pipe is inscribed 'Puff', suggesting a publicity campaign."--British Museum online catalogue

A dandy, his machine in the air, falls head first on a woman who also obstructs a lean tailor, with shears and card of patterns in his pocket. A bare-legged chimneysweeper follows, his brush tied to the back of his machine. A lean barber and a grotesquely fat butcher follow, with a man in a smock. On the extreme left a dustman in fan-tailed hat rides with a woman seated behind him and ringing his bell. The figures in the second column are on a small scale but well characterized. Accidents and collisions occur. Two dandies (right) in the middle distance (right) are turning to follow the hounds."--British Museum online catalogue
