She is much taller than her admirer, and shows a hideous profile, her mouth wide open; her attitude is theatrical. She wears a high cap and the extended petticoats which had recently been fashionable (see BMSat 7099, &c). He looks up at her with a yearning smile. Both are grotesquely caricatured."--British Museum online catalogue.

- Abstract:
- "Two men in back view walk arm-in-arm, one (left) is short and fat, the other tall and thin. The former wears a short coat or spencer over his tail-coat, with wrinkled top-boots and a round hat, and carries a riding-switch. His hair is in a short queue with projecting side-pieces. The other wears a cylindrical hat with brim curled up at the sides, a coat reaching almost to his ankles with five capes forming a point in the centre of the back, with shoes tied with strings. He carries a bludgeon. The shoulders of both men are frosted with powder, see BMSat 8190. There is a landscape background. The spencer was a short double-breasted overcoat without tails called after George John Spencer, 2nd Earl Spencer (1758-1834), who is probably here caricatured. Gillray anticipates the earliest use of the word (1796) in the 'O.E.D.' The name derives from Earl Spencer's bet in 1792 that he would invent a coat which should become the fashion. 'Social England', ed. Traill, 1904, v. 676. This garment was associated by Byron in 'English Bards and Scotch Reviewers' with Sir Lumley Skeffington (1771-1850) ..."--British Museum online catalogue.

The King, in profile to the right, faces his daughters, holding his cup and saucer to his lips, and saying, with a staring eye, "delicious! delicious". The Queen sits in the centre behind the small tea-pot, holding her cup and saucer in bony fingers, and looking with a wide and cunning smile towards the Princesses, saying, "O my dear Creatures, do but Taste it! You can't think how nice it is without Sugar: - and then consider how much Work you'll save the poor Blackeemoors by leaving off the use of it! - and above all, remember how much expence it will save your poor Papa! - O its charming cooling Drink!" The Princess Royal sits at the end of the row, on the extreme right, with four sisters diminishing in age on her right, a sixth just indicated behind the Queen. They hold, but do not drink, cups of tea, with expressions varying from sulky discontent to defiant surprise."--British Museum online catalogue.

- Abstract:
- "Three burly French fishwives carry on their backs through the water three English visitors from a boat on the extreme right. Two other fishwives stand in the water by the boat trying to persuade a stout and angry lady to entrust herself to them; a Frenchman in the boat also addresses her. On the shore (left) a group of French people waits their arrival: foremost is a postilion standing in the huge milk-churn boots (worn only on horseback) which so much surprised English visitors. He holds out a paper inscribed 'Poste Royale'. A hotel servant holds back the postilion and proffers a card inscribed 'Hotel d'Angleterre'; he wears a nightcap with a bag-wig and ruffles and stands 'chapeau-bras'. Beside him is a rival tout, a dwarfish man or boy dressed in a slovenly manner, his feet in sabots stuffed with straw; he holds out a card inscribed 'Hotel.... Behind them' (left) are a monk and a fishwife with a basket on her back, her bare feet in sabots shaped like mules but stuffed with straw. A dog, grotesquely shaved in the French manner, completes the group. Cliffs (left) form a background. The foremost passenger is a typical John Bull wearing top-boots; he has an expression of fixed determination, his wig slips from his head and his hat is falling into the sea. Next is a lady wearing a riding-habit and a high-crowned hat. A younger man, fashionably dressed, with high hat, long breeches, and short boots, leers down at the woman who carries him. The fishwives are dressed alike with frilled muslin caps, loose jackets, and short petticoats; they wear ear-rings, and crosses hang from their necks."--British Museum online catalogue.

Lady Archer is the most prominent; she holds a pack of cards in one hand, a knave in the other, looking with a triumphantly rapacious smile at a stout lady (? Mrs. Hobart) who sits (right) clenching her fists and scowling back. All the others have expressions of alarm or concern, the least agitated being the Prince of Wales, seated on Lady Archer's left. On the extreme right and next Mrs. Hobart is Fox, turning up his eyes. The guests (except the Prince) are much caricatured; one of Gillray's witch-like hags sits between the Prince and Mrs. Hobart. On the table are heaps of coins, notes or bills, and rouleaux of guineas. Above the design is etched 'The Knave wins all'. ..."--British Museum online catalogue.
