"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

Two newly arrived Frenchmen meet on the pavement outside the door of the White Bear (Piccadilly). Their speech and appearance amuse two girls who have just passed (left), and a stable-boy and coachman (right) and the fact that a dog is urinating on the boot of the tall man on the left who is unaware of this action. They wear supposedly English dress: breeches and boots, top-hats with small high crowns, reversing the shape of the prevailing bell-shaped topper (cf. BM Satires 14438). One (right) wears a multi-caped coat (carrick, see BM Satires 12375) and carries its skirts looped over his arm; against his shoulder he holds a huge (furled) umbrella. Their words are below the title: "Gode a Morning Sare, did it rain tow Marrow?--"Yase it vas"--. Above the door is a carved polar bear. In the window (left) above a green blind appear a tureen, bottle, &c.; placards hang against the panes offering Hashed Tongue, Soup Meagre, Hotch Potch, and Mock [Turtle]. On the right of the door is the entrance to the coach-office: The Original White Bear Inn. Coach & Waggon Office--The Original Paris Coach Office. Advertisements and place-names flank the doorway: (left) Expeditio--French English Made Easy; P[aris] & Dover Dilligence & Jumbling Ease, (right) Deal, Dover, Brighton, Paris, Calis. On the right is the entrance to the inn-yard in which stands a coach. -- From the British Museum online catalogue with additional comments., Title from caption below image., Lines of dialogue below title: "Gode a morning sare, did it rain towmorrow?
