After Charles Williams' "Wrong Contre Or Vis a Vis. Natural Accidents in practising Quadrille Dancing" published in May 1817 by S.W. Fores, No. 50, Piccadilly; see BM Satires 12934. This print lettered with title "Wrong Contre - or Vis a Vis Natural Accidents in Practising Quadrille Dancing" with publication line "Dublin. Pub by McCleary, Nassau St." inscribed within image on plate. At centre of the scene is a man who has fallen on the floor, his foot having caught in the dress of a lady (seen from behind) who raised her gloved hands in dismay. At left a gentleman holding a monocle up to his eye with his left hand and his bicorne hat by his side with his right hand, converses with an officer in uniform, who holds his own black bicorne hat up to his face (as though he does not wish the others in the room to hear what he is saying). At the right of the scene, a woman falls forward, her arms akimbo while the man behind her attempts to catch her but appears to be about to fall forwards also. Two musicians - a seated harpist and violinist who is standing - observe the scene from a covered raised dais with some amusement. The room is furnished with two heavily draped windows and in the centre hangs a large mirror above a console table upon which a vase of flowers is placed, while overhead is a decorative gas chandelier. At left of the scene, is a patterned rolled up carpet (indicating that the dancing taking place is impromptu).
