| Title | Twelfth Night |
| Date | 10 Jan 1812 |
| Description | A group of people sit around a table, looking a caricature of themselves.
On the far left, a large man in a bob wig holds out a bag and says:
"Come friends - draw away. Let things go on how they will - do not let us lose sight of good Old English Customs - the Bulwarks of Our Constitution".
To the right of him, a thin woman looks at a caricature of herself entitled 'Queen of Love' and says:
"Well I must own that there is a great resemblence". Next to her a large woman looks at a caricature titled 'Mrs Hiccinbottom' and says:
"Put in the bag on purpose to affront me I dare say". Behind them a fashionably dressed man, with a shocked expression, holds a caricature with the title 'This Blade' and says:
"What a reflection on a man of fashion".
On the right, a man grimaces at a caricature and says: "Ay that's a stroke at my profession". Next to him, a smiling woman looks at a caricature with the title 'Lovely Hostess', and comments:
"Come thats handsome enough".
