Doncaster Fair or the industrious Yorkshirebites

1 pp 1818

The principal figure in the foreground group is a buxom but hardly gentle keeperess of a knock- em-down stand. The lady, clad in a soldier's old jacket, with ragged skirts and defective hose, is holding in one arm an installment of sticks ' three throws a penny ' and is demanding her fee, a trifle boisterously, from a smockclad yokel, who is diving into his short-clothes pocket for the coppers which do not appear to be forthcoming. Other rustics are taking their pastime at the same amusement, and one, in perplexity, is scratching his head. The bustle of a country fair is set forth in the distance ; there is the usual display of booths and mountebanks, countrymen on horseback, love-making in carts, stalls, and struggling groups of sightseers.

Downfal of monopoly in 1800

1 pp 1800

Death, the central figure, chases monopolizers who are in headlong flight to the left, shadowed by heavy clouds. Behind him is a statue of Britannia holding spear and cornucopia, the lion beside her dominates the scene. Men and women dance round the pedestal in frantic joy. On the right, in full sunshine, two women and three naked infants rejoice over a loaf inscribed 'Quartern Loaf 8d'. In the background (right) is the shore on which are cattle and sacks, while a fleet of merchant ships approaches.

Downing Street

"There is a fascination in the air of this little cul-de-sac : an hour's inhalation of its atmosphere affects some men with giddiness, others with blindness, and very frequently with the most oblivious boastfulness."—Theodore Hook.

Dramatic demireps at their morning rehearsal

1 pp 1810

The intention of this burlesque is a pun on dram-atic ; the theatrical demireps being very ungallantly displayed in the Hundreds of Drury, inhabiting an attic, and indulging in matutinal potations of gin. The surroundings do not give a very cultivated idea of the actresses or their belongings.

Dropsy courting consumption

1 pp 1810

Outside a building marked Mausoleum a dwarf rotunda beside a slender column kneels a round ball of a suitor, who, it would seem, is destined never to recover his perpendicular ; he is suing at the feet of an attenuated nymph, of straight and bony proportions, who it appears is in the last stage of wasting away. In the grounds a corpulent lady and a declining-looking gentleman of the Laurence Sterne type arc contemplating a statue of Hercules.
