"A dandy, much burlesqued, stands full-face, his head, which has a bird-like profile, turned to the left; his hair is brushed up at the back behind his hat to resemble the tail-feathers of a cock. He wears puffed-out breeches and top-boots with enormous spurs, and holds an umbrella (see No. 13060). A narrow coat-tail hangs between his stick-like legs. His thin arms in tight sleeves project awkwardly, and he wears short yellow (chicken-skin) gloves; a broad patterned strip hangs from his fob, with seals and watch-key. A sign-post among shrubs points 'To Chalk Farm' [Hampstead]. The dome of St. Paul's (left) appears in the distance, and in the middle distance (right) are new suburban houses."--British Museum online catalogue

"Scene in a ramshackle garret. A dandy in a late stage of decay crouches over the fire (where an iron is heating) on a small stool, holding out his shirt, befrilled and collared, but sleeveless. He wears tightly laced stays over bare flesh, which is ravaged by insects or skin-disease, with ragged drawers and socks. Other ragged garments hang from a string across the fireplace, others project from a crock (right) where they are being washed. Boots, blacking, &c., are on the floor. Coat, hat, trousers, and eyeglass lie on a makeshift bed; an overcoat hangs on a coat-hanger. His hair is brushed upwards from the neck with one lock arranged over the forehead. His whiskers are on a stand on the table, with broken combs, tooth-brush, &c. On the wall hang his umbrella, a pair of bootsoles, and a red herring. On the chimney-piece, with medicine-bottle, tea-pot, &c., is a ballad headed by a gibbet with corpses. On a box which forms a head to the bed are band-box, cane, cracked mirror, &c."--British Museum online catalogue

"Two sailors ride (right to left) a velocipede (see No. 13399) with two saddles on the elongated bar. At the back is a seat for two passengers in which are two gaily dressed women. The first sailor says over his shoulder: "D--n it Jack this is rare sailing without a wind!" The front wheel collides with a dandy (left), who has dropped his steering-bar (which has dropped to the ground) and is about to fall off. Jack answers: "A very pretty invention Tom! D--n it we shall run down the Dandy!" The dandy (cf. No. 13029) shouts: "Curse you you tarpaulins Wy don't you mind how you steer." One of the women holds a bottle and glass; she looks back saying: "Vy Poll this beats the Dilly [diligence]!! Vy Poll it' s capsized!!" Poll sits back with folded arms, one leg resting on the second sailor's shoulder. She answers: "And we have capsized a Dandy!!" In the background (right) a mail-coach lies on its side; men, women, and luggage from the outside are on the ground; an inside passenger tries to climb from the window."--British Museum online catalogue
