A burlesqued duelling scene. Two elderly men confront one another; one holds a sword in his left hand; his right. arm is raised so that the enormous button on his sleeve acts as a shield; the buttons on his coat are about the size of dinner-plates; his coat has a black collar and his shoes have large buckles, called Artois buckles, see BMSat 5432, &amp;c. His opponent (r.) holds out a pistol in his right. hand, his left. is held up as if to protect his face. He is dressed in an old-fashioned manner, with broad-brimmed hat, tie-wig, a long laced coat and waistcoat with wide cuffs, high-quartered shoes with small buckles. They are in a grass field, with trees on the horizon.  26 June 1777
