"Social satire; a tall thin man with a tasselled tricorn hat in one hand and wearing a sword, wig, buckled shoes and rings on both hands steps forward towards a large lady with a wreath in her hair, beauty spots, several rings, a cupid's bow and arrow on a ribbon round her neck, a large muff, and a very low decolletage; behind them their two dogs mimic their actions; the man asks "Beauty need note de foraine aid of ornamen but ees ven unadorn adorn de mos.", to which the woman replies "I really cannot resist the pleasing truth of the bewitching Markeee. - - ah! Sweet Sir I yield, ah!""--British Museum online catalogue

Racist caricature lampooning the inept attempt by African Americans to mimic the leisure culture of white high society depicting an African American tea party hosted by "Mr. Ludovico" and "Miss Rosabella." To the far right of the table, "Miss Rosabella" pours steaming hot tea into a cup which tips over and spills onto a startled cat on the floor. To her right, "Mr. Ludovico" attends to the needs of "Miss Araminta" who protests his taking the trouble. Next to them, a disgruntled guest demands "anoder cup" of tea. An African American servant and the other guests, a mother holding her baby and her small son, observe and comment about the spilled tea on the cat and the flirtatious behavior of "Mr. Ludovico."

"An obese, elderly, bottle-nosed man stands in his garden, in profile to the left, his knees flexed, in slippers, ungartered stockings, open waistcoat; he shades his eyes and looks up ecstatically. A cloud of flies buzz round his bald head; a panting spaniel looks up at him. A parrot perches on its open cage. The path is bordered by tulips; many butterflies are in the air."--British Museum online catalogue
