Abstract:: "A companion print to BMSat 9670. In a squalid room French dancers practise to a fiddle played by an older man (right) who dances as he plays. The parents of the four children dance, facing each other. She is elegant, buxom, with an elaborate feathered coiffure. He is lean, wearing a tattered but well-fitting coat over bare legs, with sleeve-ruffles (cf. the old gibe that the Frenchman wore ruffles but no shirt). He wears a toupee wig with a long queue. A boy and girl, both with hair elaborately dressed, dance together more vigorously. A little girl (right) with bare legs practises the first position, heels together. On the left a boy plays the pipe and tabor to two dogs, one wearing cloak and hat, whom he is teaching to dance. His chair is the only furniture except for a truckle-bed (left) turned up to the wall and a much-tilted wall-mirror (right). A lean cat has climbed to a small cupboard recessed in the wall near the ceiling and licks a stoppered bottle. The cupboard contains a coffee-pot, a covered jar, &c. A print of two clumsy peasant dancers is pinned to the wall, from which plaster has flaked. All practise with serious concentration."--British Museum online catalogue

A man in deep shadow seizes Hanger's bunch of seals. Two elderly men address a fat bawd who holds a basket of fruit and playbills; a coin is placed in her hand.

Abstract:: "Mrs. Thrale (Piozzi) and Boswell are in heated argument: she (left) advances upon Boswell with her hands on her hips; he stamps violently and clenches his fists. An elderly man seated in an armchair looks at them in alarm, raising his hand in admonition. He is Sir John Hawkins: the 'rival wits' have agreed to let him 'Declare the prop'rest pen to write Sam's Life.' Beside him a 'cello leans against the wall, emblem perhaps of Sir John's interest in music, perhaps of Mrs. Thrale's marriage to Piozzi. Three shelves of books are above his head; the highest is filled with large volumes covered with a cobweb, one inscribed 'History of Musi[c]' ... Behind the two disputants is a draped sash-window. Beneath each part of the title a quotation from the verses is engraved: '[1] Who, madning with an Anecdotic Itch, Hath said that Johnson call'd his Mother, B-tch?' Boswell taunts Mrs. Thrale with her anecdote of Johnson's answer to his mother when she called him a puppy. '[2] Who, from Macdonald's Rage, to save his snout, Cut twenty lines of defamation, out?' She retorts with the slander which Boswell denied."--British Museum online catalogue

The driver has dropped the reins and holds up his arms; he is hidden by the guard seated on his left who falls backwards, his blunderbuss is going off and shatters the roof of the coach, causing letters and letter-bags to fly into the air. A pistol at his side is also going off; it fires point-blank at the bare posteriors of an elderly woman who has fallen head downwards, screaming, her person much exposed; she was apparently an outside passenger. A man puts his head and arms out of the coach-window, shouting in terror. On the centre panel of the coach and above the Royal Arms is inscribed 'The Mail Coach'; on each side panel, 'GR'.

Abstract:: "A confused design: in the centre the kings of England (left) and Prussia (right) sit together under a canopy; they turn their heads in profile, gazing intently at each other. Behind George III's chair a British sailor lounges, behind Frederick's a Prussian grenadier with a musket stands erect. Frederick holds the ends of two chains attached to the necks of the Habsburg eagle beneath the feet of the two kings; the two beaks of the bird hold a scroll inscribed 'Universal Monarchy'; with its claws it strikes fiercely at the prostrate bodies of a man and woman, evidently intended for inhabitants of the United Provinces. Beneath the bird is the word 'Austria'. On the sides of the canopy under which the kings sit are shields, one (left) inscribed 'Hanover Brunswick Hesse', the other (right), 'Saxony Deux Pont Mayence &c', representing German States under the control or influence of England and of Prussia. On the left and right of the two kings, as if supporters to an escutcheon, are whole length figures on a large scale of military officers; each holds the hilt of his sword, saying, "Whilst you agree I am ready". One (left) is the 'Reigg Duke of Brunswick', the other 'Prince Ferdinand of Brunswick'. In the lower right corner of the design a Frenchman wearing a bag-wig milks a cow inscribed 'Holland'; a dog barks at him angrily. Next the cow a man seated on the ground, probably intended for the Stadtholder, holds up his hands imploringly to the two kings, saying, "Pray protect me". Isolated figures round the two sides and upper edge of the design represent the other Powers of Europe: a crowned bear (left) inscribed 'Russia', couchant, looks greedily towards a much smaller bear inscribed 'Poland'. Russia says, "Tortur'd by Ambition - back'd by Brother Joseph"; Poland answers, "I am not muzzled". The bust of an oriental wearing a turban (Turkey) looks over its shoulder (across Poland) towards Russia, saying, "By the great Prophet thou art but a Woman". A crowned monkey with a sceptre and shield, representing Louis XVI, is seated on a globe inscribed 'Holland', saying, "Mundus vult decipi". Down the right side of the print are three crowned busts looking towards the two kings: Sardinia says, "You shall not Settle without me"; Spain says, "Oh. give me the Rock" (cf. BMSat 6025, &c), Portugal says, "Oh! buy my Wine" (an allusion to the preference to Portuguese wines, given by the Methuen treaty and threatened by the pending commercial treaty with France). On the left side Sweden says, "I am in the pay of France"; Denmark says, "I lay by at present"."--British museum online catalogue
