"Didelot dances on the stage between two women, both very lightly clad in quasi-classical costume, and wearing 'cothurnes'. He wears a feathered hat, tunic, and cloak, and looks towards Mme Parisot (right); she strikes an attitude with right leg raised and arms extended, and looks alluringly towards him, her right breast bare. Mme Rose (left), his wife, dances with more restraint, her sharp-featured profile turned austerely towards her husband. All wave their arms above their heads, and their attitudes are in fact graceful (though caricatured). Two plump 'danseuses' (left and right) whirl on one toe in the background. Behind Didelot is an irradiated sun, with features looking down disapprovingly at the dancer."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A scene at a faro-table; part of the table, including an angle of the central well, stretches across the foreground, players and spectators sit and stand behind it. Lady Archer is the most prominent; she holds a pack of cards in one hand, a knave in the other, looking with a triumphantly rapacious smile at a stout lady (? Mrs. Hobart) who sits (right) clenching her fists and scowling back. All the others have expressions of alarm or concern, the least agitated being the Prince of Wales, seated on Lady Archer's left. On the extreme right and next Mrs. Hobart is Fox, turning up his eyes. The guests (except the Prince) are much caricatured; one of Gillray's witch-like hags sits between the Prince and Mrs. Hobart. On the table are heaps of coins, notes or bills, and rouleaux of guineas. Above the design is etched 'The Knave wins all'. ..."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Young women, gaily dressed, ride donkeys along a rough road at the edge of a cliff indicated by a railing and the sea below. There are three groups inscribed respectively 'Kicking-Sett', 'Active-Sett', and 'Passive Sett'. On the extreme left. one donkey lies on its back kicking the rider it has thrown; the donkey-boy kneels beside it holding the rein, and plying a cudgel. The next donkey, its head held by a boy, is kicking; a man (? groom) behind flogs it, another holds its rider's sunshade. The third donkey, with its rider holding a sunshade, stands beside it. The other two groups advance from r. to left. Three lively and coquettish ladies ride side by side, approaching with studied unconsciousness two hussar officers who lean against the railing. The animals are urged on by boys with vicious whips and cudgels. The last three (r.) are more demure and are escorted by grooms or attendant cavaliers, one of whom holds up his lady's parasol. A few spectators are strung out along the railing; an old sailor sits on the railing, smoking, facing the sea."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A bust portrait of Tandy (1740-1803) looking to the left. He wears the double-breasted, high-collared coat of a French officer, with epaulettes. He looks a sick man, his (white) hair is short and unkempt, his face deeply seamed; his drooping, bulbous nose and look of melancholy wariness give an impression of caricature, but the characterization appears to be excellent, cf. a portrait engraved by Heath after J. Petrie, published 1815."--British Museum online catalogue.
