"Three revellers are lighted home by a watchman who walks beside them holding his lantern and looking sideways at them with quizzical contempt. A tall fashionably dressed and dishevelled man walks between two young women, also fashionably dressed; one holding a large muff takes his right arm; the other wears his bell-shaped top-hat, while he wears, back to front, her large feathered bonnet. They are lit from a street lamp, part of the post of which is on the extreme left in the foreground, while dawn lightens the dark sky. A large shuttered window in a corner house forms a background."--British Museum online catalogue

"Scene outside the closed iron gate of Covent Garden Theatre. A smartly dressed man swaggers tipsily and jovially along, both arms raised; clutching his arm is a dejected companion in a drunken torpor, fashionably dressed, and wearing a blue cloak lined with red over his evening suit. In the foreground (right) a well-dressed man reclines against a step, drunk and jovial, a battered top-hat on the pavement beside him. An old watchman stoops to lift him up. Behind them a fourth toper is jovially attempting to fight a watchman holding lantern and rattle, while a brother-watchman raises his staff. On the left a fat John Bullish fellow tries to waltz with a pretty little courtesan, while a second girl picks his pocket and holds up in triumph a watch and seals. Both are smartly dressed, wearing big feathered hats. Behind them an old bawd walks along taking by the arm a seedy rake. On the wall are playbills both headed Theatre Royal Covent Garden, [1] Tomorrow Night The Blue Devils [1798] Love's Labour Lost [2] The Road to Ruin [1792, see BM Satires 8074] Fortune's Frolic [1799]."--British Musem online catalogue

"Scene on the steps of a London club. A Life Guards officer with moustache and whiskers stares at two exotic-looking civilians who appear arm-in-arm, walking (right to left) along the pavement, both moustached and with whiskers of incredible length and luxuriance. These are worn with wide turn-down collars, one with a loosely knotted tie, the other with his tie passed through a ring, a contrast with the tightly curled whiskers and high stock of the officer. A Guards officer in a high bearskin, without moustache but with bushier whiskers than those of the cavalry officer, stands on the steps, stretching and yawning, his back to the whiskered civilians. Through the open sash-windows two whiskered civilians are seen, one raises a side of his collar, to which the whiskers seem to be attached; the other pompously caresses an immense whisker. A man of French appearance, whiskered and moustached, standing on the steps, gapes at the two pedestrians, whose whiskers have something of the lion's mane. This is stressed by a poster behind them headed by a picture of a lion: Nero is to be Seen . . . On a second poster is a bear: Bears' Grease for the Growth of Whiskers. Two bees make for the tawny whiskers of the taller pedestrian, who holds a riding-whip and is followed by a poodle with shaggy ears and shoulders. A woman in a bonnet and shawl (right) gapes in amazement. A little chimney-sweeper laughs."--British Museum online catalogue

In a courtyard of Christ Church (Oxford), undergraduates in cap and gown dance around a bonfire, fueled by doors, chairs, and tables carried from the surrounding buildings. Other students pull at ropes to drag a statute of Mercury towards the flames. From the windows on either side of the gateway students throw objects including a globe and a chamber pot, while another blows a trumpet. Groups of students dance wildly as they drink and riot
