"A scaly dragon breathing smoke advances furiously towards a composed clergyman in cassock and bands (right). The latter stands under an irradiated sun containing a face, from which an arm projects holding the shield of 'Religion' between him and his antagonist. The arm is inscribed 'Marsh', 'Clergy', 'Monarchist'. The dragon's tongue is 'Falsehood', the talons with which he paws at his enemy are inscribed 'Hypocrisy', 'Vanity', 'Misrepresentation', 'Calumny'. Behind it is the fragment of a ruined building inscribed 'Lancaster's School'; on the wall is poised a large Quaker's hat inscribed 'Broad Brim' nearly covering the words 'Madras System'. On the ground are the words 'Deceit Misrepresentation'. Behind the parson is a handsome Georgian building inscribed 'Dr Bells School' on a rock inscribed 'Church & State'; to this he points with a dignified gesture while looking at the dragon. Farther off are a country church and a house."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A hand-coloured print of a steep hill in Greenwich Park on which people are running up and down. Large and thin couples chase one another, kiss and cavort, sometimes with disastrous outcomes, including a couple of women who have collided, their bottoms exposed. At the top of the hill stands a tree under which two men are seated. At the bottom left, a man hides behind a tree, ready to strike an un-suspecting woman with a stick."--Royal Collection Trust online catalogue.

"Students draw from a nude female model by artificial light. She stands on a low polygonal platform, gracefully posed, her raised right arm supported on a rope slung from the roof, underneath a large round reflector under which a lamp burns. Beside her is a bottle and glass. Behind the platform is a large closed stove and a high screen. The students sit on two rows of seats arranged in a horse-shoe, the second row raised above the first, resting their drawing-boards on a rail. Lamps or candles with reflectors are attached to this rail at intervals. One man (left) paints standing at a painting-table; he wears apron and oversleeves; behind him stands a man inspecting the model through a glass. Almost all the students wear powdered hair with side-curls and small pigtails; many are elderly. The room is handsome; the walls are covered with casts from the antique: busts on a shelf near the ceiling with bas-reliefs below. The drawing is realistic, the heads of the students slightly caricatured."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A pretty girl (left) and a handsome young officer in regimentals (right) stand facing each other; he holds her hand, and places a ring on her finger. The grotesque elderly man, more parson than blacksmith, stands between them, bawling from a book and watching the bride. Behind (right) is a post-chaise and horse; a postilion stands by, watching the ceremony. In the background (left) is a shed where a horse is being shoed. It is placarded: 'Tim Tag Blacksmith and Rector'."--British Museum online catalogue.

"The left of the stage seen from the right with part of the orchestra in the foreground, and two stage-boxes on the left. The singer, a handsome young man of feminine appearance, bows, hands on heart, singing loudly. He wears quasi-Roman armour, with an enormous feathered helmet, a cloak, bare arms and legs, with cothurnes. In the centre of the lower box a stout man in regimentals yawns violently, looking disparagingly at the singer. A handsome lady next him turns her head towards the stage. Four other men in the box are amused or quizzical; one uses an ear-trumpet. In the upper box an elderly 'cit' grimaces with angry contempt; his wife yawns cavernously, as does a head in the background. The orchestra sit facing each other; all are elderly; all register active lack of appreciation."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Masqueraders stand closely grouped. A centre figure is an obese, aged, and capering Punch, playing a guitar. Two women are prominent, both are in profile to the left, and wear small masks which frame their eyes. One holds a wand and a book inscribed 'Magi', the other wears breeches and is very décolletée. Behind her is an ugly coarse-looking man, wearing a domino with a naturalistic mask resembling his own features. A man wears a bag-wig with large horns and carries a placard inscribed 'Horns to Sell'. One figure wears two realistic and complete masks, Janus-like--one that of a handsome woman, the other of an ugly man. The background is an arc of a rotunda, with Ionic pillars framing curtains and decorated with fairy lights."--British Museum online catalogue.
