"George Hanger rides in profile to the left on a pony with a heavy body and short legs; his right foot thrust forward, the end of his bludgeon resting on the right toe. He wears a round hat tilted over the right eye, a striped neck-cloth, and prominent shirt-frill. Behind is the corner of (lower) 'Grosvenor Street', showing the door and a window of the famous coffee-house, 'The Mount', the name inscribed over the door."--British Museum catalogue

"An elderly man, bent to deformity, thin and shambling, in profile to the left, follows two flamboyant prostitutes who walk arm-in-arm, looking behind them. He supports himself on a walking-stick; from his pocket protrudes a book: 'Modest Prints'. The women's dresses trail on the pavement, but one lifts her skirt to display her legs. The background is formed of the massive stones at the corner of a high building."--British Museum online catalogue
