Abstract:
"Extravagantly dressed pedestrians promenade beside (?) the Serpentine. Almost all are arm-in-arm, an exception being an ugly and complacent woman whose face is covered by a long transparent lace veil. The women walk leaning back, as in BM Satires 14438; they point their toes as if at a dancing class, drawing up their skirts, but these are less long. A fashion for stripes for women's dresses and for trousers is apparent, and for patterned materials with scalloped flounces, furbelows, ribbons, and over-trimmed hats. Curled hair frames the face and rests on the shoulders. Waists are still wasp-like for both sexes. Men wear checked neck-cloths with high collars. Much play is made with eye-glasses and canes. Hessian and top-boots are corrugated, spurs are oddly absent. The women wear very flat slippers, tied at the ankle. Beyond the water are trees."--British Museum online catalogue

The fishwives stalls are in the foreground with the masts of ship vessels behind, and among them one tall smoking funnel. The market buildings are on the right. The foreground is more crowded than in other Billingsgate prints. The chief feature is an irate woman seated on an upturned tub beside her stall, berating a lady in a riding-habit who holds a huge fish's head. Beside the latter is another lady, disconcerted. Two liveried servants are amond the crowd. Lady Caroline Lamb and a young marchioness, both 'in disguise', go to the market to hear the traditional language of the fishwives, this Lady Caroline provokes by disparaging a fish. On the left is a fashionably dressed young man, resembling R.C. On the left, a drunken woman sits with her glass raised. From British Museum catalogue

A miniature hussar, very dandified in shako and pelisse, stands in it, superciliously inspecting the parson through an eye-glass. The woman, who is plump and well-dressed, wearing apron and bonnet, says: Seeing your Reverence comeing for your Tithes, I have brought you a Tenth. The parson, who holds a large book, Tithe list, and has a chicken in his capacious pocket, answers with a scowl and gesture of refusal: Take it back! take it back! good Woman; I never tithe Monkeys. The little hussar says: Eh! eh! what does that there fellow say? An amused yokel with a pitchfork leans over a gate (left). A cock crows on a dunghill, an ass brays.

Abstract:
"George IV sits in an arm-chair, his gouty right leg in a bulky swathing rests on a cushion; the left leg is tightly bound between calf and ankle with a narrow bandage. He wears a loose fur-collared coat or gown over breeches and waistcoat. He leans back reflectively, an open book, Diversions of Purley [by Home Tooke, cf. British Museum Satires No. 9020], in his right hand. Phases of his past life are illustrated in a series of W.L. portraits on the wall behind him. [1] As a handsome young man he stands holding a long-bow, as if at an archery contest. [2] He stands, slightly obese, in his Light Horse uniform, see British Museum Satires No. 8800 (1796). [3] He stands in back view as in BM Satires 12803, facing a wall on which is a portrait of the Hottentot Venus [Saartjie Baartman], see British Museum Satires No. 11577, &c. [4] He stands in hussar uniform, with high curled wig and whiskers. [5] He stands directed to the right in Field Marshal's uniform (as 'especially in 1814). [6] He stands on the deck of a ship in yachting costume wearing loose jacket and trousers, his hands in his coat-pocket. The profile and paunch of Sir William Curtis are behind and on the extreme left. [7] The picture is partly concealed by a curtain, but the King sits near a chamber-pot. [8] He stands in coronation robes holding orb and sceptre (see British Museum Satires No. 14199). [9] He is in Highland costume (see British Museum Satires No. 14386). At the King's left hand is a small cheval-glass topped by a crown. His appearance has changed, he has no whiskers, and has a wig of lightly curled natural hair, parted in the middle, so that in place of the pear- or pineapple-shaped head resulting from a crest of curls and whiskers, as from c. 1811 [In caricature. An engraved H.L. portrait by Schiavonetti after T. Phillips, pub. Cadell & Davis, 11 Oct. 1809, has whiskers and crest of curls], his face seems rounder, and, in many prints, younger. His dress is less formal, and his appearance (confirmed by portraits from 1820) suggests a determination to depart completely from the appearance and costume of caricature."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"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

"A Pic Nic: A curate, his wife, and four children gnaw bare bones at a table covered with a ragged cloth, on which are a loaf and an almost empty dish. The wife rocks an infant's cradle; washing hangs on a cord across the fireplace. A wall-clock points to 12.45. On the sill of the casement-window is a flowering plant. The curate's hat, cudgel, and gloves are on a table. A starving cat and dog face each other angrily. A contrast to British Museum Satires No. 14756. Below: 'On meagre fare the humble Curate's fed; 'Severe his labour--dearly earned his bread. 'Tho all the duty on his shoulders fall 'A paltry Thirty Pounds a Year his all.'"--British Museum online catalogue, "A Tuck Out: A dinner-table scene, with three liveried footmen, is watched by a bloated dog and fat cat. One fat parson (right) carves a sucking-pig; his wife (opposite) carves a bird. The other diners are a second parson, a youngish woman, and a loutish youth. On the wall a picture of 'Balthezar's [sic] Feast': the revellers see the writing on the wall. Below: 'But see the bloated Vicars gaudy state, 'Profusion surfiets, pamper'd menials wait; 'Preaches Humility, his practice pride 'Lived like an Infidel, and so he died.' A favourite theme, cf. British Museum Satires Nos. 6153-4, &c., 14568."--British Museum online catalogue, "A Gorge: Seven foxhunters tipsily drink a toast, two standing by their chairs. A hare and other dishes are on the table. Two liveried servants wait. On the wall is a picture of a mounted huntsman with hounds. Antlers serve as pegs for two hunting-caps; a third with a fox's brush hangs beside it. Below: 'See l'Esquire seated, at the festive board, 'His Tenants squeez'd to satiate their lord, 'Who squanders all in riot and excess, 'His Family leaves in Want and deep distress.'"--British Museum online catalogue, and "A Burster: Three aldermen in furred gowns sit at a round table, knife and fork in hand, food speared on fork, but all waiting avidly for the dishes that four footmen bring in: a large tureen, (?) birds, a hare, a turkey, and sausages. Decanters stand in a wine-cooler, a sideboard is covered with plate. There is a picture of an inflated frog looking at an ox. Below: 'A greasy chin the Aldermans delight 'Their stomachs quite prepaid since yesternight 'Anticipating, Turtle, Venison, Jellies, 'To Cram, to Gorge nay e'en to burst their Bellies.' Cf.

The leaning back attitude in walking (see British Museum Satires No. 14438) is that of one woman only; she takes the arm of a dandy in frogged coat and inflated white trousers. A man in a tight-waisted overcoat with large buttons worn with boots, breeches, and a checked neck-cloth, his hands in his pockets, is conspicuous: the lady taking his arm wears much ermine, with a muff and a hat which is a base for towering roses and a dangling lace veil.
