- Summary
- Satirical images of humans with grotesque features, humans with animal heads, animals with human heads, and other curious creatures. They are engaged in dancing, observing the dance, or providing musical accompaniment. All of the scenes take place outdoors; the tents in the background of one drawing suggest a military camp, while another drawing's casual arrangement of fabric and branches suggests a windbreak at an open-air gathering. In one drawing, couples dance with their arms around each other, perhaps performing the waltz. The uncolored drawing in brown ink, depicting figures on a terrace bordered by a balustrade, has an additional drawing of two figures outside the line border: a male figure holds sheet music and sings the words "Va sempre piano, pia dolce sara mia carina" while a female figure, seen from the neck up, appears to listen.

- The etching is signed and dated: Ed. Hull invt. et fecit, 1 May 1816.
- On the verso of the drawing with tents at background left is a graphite and watercolor drawing of two male figures, one in profile facing left and the other in back view. Although they are similarly dressed and both carry swords, they do not seem to be the same man; one has long hair drawn back into a queue, and holds a bicorne hat and a cane.
