"A Thames wherry passes close to the wall of a riverside tavern, and is about to go under a high timber bridge. The two oarsmen have immense artificial-looking whiskers and curled hair, cf. British Museum satires no. 15962, no hats, and wear striped shirts, open at the neck, nautical in cut. They row a lady who sits erect in a grotesquely huge hat, with wide brim, high jam-pot crown, and towering ribbons. They row badly and carelessly. In waterside arbours spectators drink and smoke. On the extreme left steps lead to the water, and two more amateur oarsmen, looking like buccaneers, stand, while a boatman in waders holds the bow of a boat. Behind are urban houses."--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
