Abstract:
"A dandy, with moustache, whisker, and beard, steps gingerly from an archway, one of three lit by hanging lamps, leading from the portico of the King's Theatre, Haymarket, to the street. Water from a spout descends on his top-hat, whence it gushes fore and aft in huge streams. He wears tail-coat, short trousers, and very flimsy pumps; he holds his handkerchief round his coat-collar; his gloves fall to the ground and he steps towards a muddy stream. A link-boy leans as if asleep under the next arch. Two bills are posted: Chelsea Watermains always charged F.P. 16. ft. and Madame Pasta's Benefit Night. Title from Mary Shelley's book, published 1826, cf. British Museum Satires No. 15341."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Erskine, dressed as an officer of the Inns of Court Volunteers, kneels on one knee to receive spurs from Sir James Mansfield, in legal wig and gown, who stands over him, his sword held vertically. Erskine's knee rests on a bulky brief: 'The King v. Hardy Brief for Def[ence]'; he says: "Henceforth I will be faithful and bear true Allegiance [? and abjure] traiterous . . . (the words obscured by his plumed helmet)". In the foreground two couples of privates or N.C.O.s (left and right) walk off scowling suspiciously over their shoulders at the investiture. The design is framed by two arches of the cloister of the Temple Church. Through one (left) is seen the body of the church: three (sculptured) recumbent Knights Templars raise themselves from their tombs to gaze in horror at the scene. All five volunteers wear plumed helmets and epaulets. The two on the left carry, one a pike, the other a bayoneted musket, both directed towards the new knight. Under the foot of one is a torn paper: 'Mr Sheridan Speech & Vote of thanks to the Volunteer[s]'."--British Museum online catalogue
