"A tall handsome young woman walks, left to right, looking to the left with a coquettish smile. An ugly man (left), small and deformed, one leg heightened by an iron, looks up at her, saying, "Queer my Sconce but thats a D------d fine Woman, now if she has got any Shiners, I've a great mind to Noose, and tip her the go by when I'm tired of her." Both are fashionably dressed and wear spencers (see BMSat 8192). The lady wears a long fur boa, with a large muff. A pavement of large flagstones completes the design."--British Museum online catalogue

"Queensberry (left) leans from the steps of his Piccadilly house, to leer through a double spy-glass (as in British Museum Satires No. 9082) at a buxom young woman who has just descended from a country wagon (right). She stands on the pavement next her father, a yokel in a smock-frock who is addressed by a fat bawd. The woman puts her hand on his shoulder, saying, "Its very lucky I met with you my honest Man if she behaves well she shall be promoted to the service of a Duke". He answers, "Very lucky indeed I'se Woundily Obliged to your Ladyship. My Dame always said as how Bet was cut out for Zarvice of your great Volkes." The wagoner is depositing in the road the corded box of Elisabeth Maybush; he looks up at Old Q, saying, "ah! I knew he'd dart out like an Old Spider at a Fly". A fashionably dressed young woman walks past the railings of 15 Piccadilly, the lower part of the house forming a background."--British Museum online catalogue
