- Abstract:
- "John Bull sits holding against his knee Napoleon, an elongated puppet, in the position of a bass viol (viol da gamba). His left hand holds the elongated neck; in his right. is a sword, which he draws like a bow across his instrument's body. Napoleon is in profile, facing John, his mouth wide open, as if throttled; he holds a sword limply in his left hand. He wears military uniform with large feathered bicorne. John's hat and wig lie on the ground; he is a prosperous 'cit' in old-fashioned dress, and looks towards the spectator with a satisfied smile. 'Britons strike home' is engraved above his head."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "The small, nimble Napoleon plays leap-frog with the larger and more solid personifications of Holland, Spain, and Hanover, who stand with bent backs and hands on knees. Having leapt over the bent backs of a fat Dutchman (left) and then a Spanish don in feathered hat, ruff, and cloak, he bestrides the shoulders of Hanover, a German soldier wearing a cocked hat and jack-boots. The Dutchman, his hat and broken pipe on the ground, says with a scowl: "He has left the Swiss and Italian a Mile behind - and as for me he ha s Knock'd my hat off and broken my pipe - pretty encouragement this to play at Leap Frog". The Spaniard: "By St Iago - my back is almost broken." The Hanoverian: "Why did I submit to this." Napoleon, wearing his enorrnous cocked hat with tricolour plume, says: "Keep down your head Master Hanoverian my next leap shall be over John Bull." John (right), a fat citizen wearing a cocked hat, faces him with a clenched fist, saying, "I'll be d-----d if you do Master Corsican"."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "A pair of breeches, formerly belonging to Fox, much inflated and forming two merging and transparent globes with projecting legs, is poised (at the seat) on three ostrich feathers, erect in a round bed of (ministerial) roses (see BMSat 10558, &c). Within these globes members of the Ministry sit at a round table, devouring loaves and fishes. The nearest ones are in back view, and have the heavy posteriors characteristic of the Grenvilles (cf. BMSat 10530). Lord Grenville, a fish in each hand, with Lord Ellenborough on his right, Buckingham on his left., and, next the latter, Lord Temple. They sit on a cushioned bench like those of Parliament, which follows the curve of the breeches. The others, left to right from Temple, are Spencer, Windham, Erskine, Petty, Lord Holland, [Identified by his own note.] Moira, who sits full face opposite Grenville, Lauderdale, Sheridan, Howick; Sidmouth on Ellenborough's right completes the circle. All are gormandizing on fish in different degrees, except Spencer and Holland who eat normally. Before Grenville is a dish containing two large fish: 'Treasury' and 'Exchequer', see BMSat 10543, &c. A dog, its collar inscribed 'Tierney', puts its forefeet on the bench, yapping at Grenville's back (cf. BMSats 10128, &c., 10603). On the ground beside him are three cats eating fish in a dish inscribed 'Tabbeys'; their collars are inscribed 'Bet Fox', 'Fitz', and 'Jordan'. Rats surround a dish inscribed 'Scribblers' [ministerial journalists and pamphleteers]. Larger rats in the Ministerial rose-bed gnaw at the feathers which support the breeches. ..."--British Museum online catalogue
