"Three grotesquely ugly old maids stoop delightedly over a Cupid who sleeps against a rose-bush, arrow in hand, his unstrung bow beside him. On the back of one sits an ape; a lap-dog is beside her. A parrot sits on the bonnet of another, the third kneels. On a mound (right) a cock stands crowing: 'Cock a doodle doo.'"--British Museum online catalogue

"Two elderly Scots discuss the Melville case; one, wearing old-fashioned court dress with a sword, takes snuff from the other's ram's-horn mull; he says: "Touch the Sillar!!! - T'is a on disgrace on aw Scotland!" They have sly, twisted expressions. Melville (left), weeping, clutches the back of the speaker's coat. He wears Highland dress, and says: "What my ain Countrymen turn their backs on me! then tis aw up with Johny Mac-cree [see British Museum Satires No. 10378]". On the right, Pitt runs off furtively to the right, saying, "I must cut out this Connexion - & leave him to his fate"."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"All hunt on velocipedes; they advance (left to right) in two streams on each side of a grass plot, while in the background the huntsmen are just behind the dogs, chasing (right to left) the stag. A dandy, his machine in the air, falls head first on a woman who also obstructs a lean tailor, with shears and card of patterns in his pocket. A bare-legged chimneysweeper follows, his brush tied to the back of his machine. A lean barber and a grotesquely fat butcher follow, with a man in a smock. On the extreme left a dustman in fan-tailed hat rides with a woman seated behind him and ringing his bell. The figures in the second column are on a small scale but well characterized. Accidents and collisions occur. Two dandies (right) in the middle distance (right) are turning to follow the hounds."--British Museum online catalogue

"A fat lady, much décolletée, whose hair is blazing, in her frantic gestures has overturned a chair; tea- and coffee-things lie on the ground. Screaming servants rush in from the right, headed by two footmen; one holds up a table-cloth to fling over her head, but is hampered by his companion, a negro, who flings the liquid contents of a (?) large flowerpot in her face, but stands on the cloth. A fat cook follows; a pretty young woman kneels on the ground throwing up her arms, a dog howls. Four older servants look through the doorway. Two candles, the cause of the disaster, blaze on the chimneypiece where a clock shows that it is 2.25."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
