The dancing dogs, as performed at Sadler's Wells, with universal applause / W.D.

The Devil seated (left) plays a fiddle to which three dogs, with the heads of Fox, Burke, and North, dance on their hind legs. Fox (left), wearing an oriental turban and a collar inscribed 'Carlo Khan', has a fox's brush inscribed 'Reform'. Burke (centre), with the body of a lean spotted dog, wears spectacles and a Jesuit's biretta (cf. BMSat 6026) and his own tight pig-tail queue; his collar is inscribed 'St Omer'. His thin tail is inscribed 'OEconomy'. He faces Fox, his back to North, who has a fat, spotted body, wearing a lady's muslin cap; his collar inscribed 'Boreas' and his tail 'Virtue'. The Devil says, "I'll make you dance ye Dogs my Fiddle de dee". Cf. British Museum online catalog.
