Abstract:
"The interior of a breeches-maker's shop or workroom. Two men standing, one on a chair, the other on a stool, are attempting to pull up the very tight breeches of a stout man, who is lifted from the ground by their efforts. A stout woman enters from the right holding a pair of breeches under her arm. On the wall is a placard: 'Ramskin, Elastic Spring Breeches Maker They set close to the Hips and never alter their Shape which Thousands can Testify Likewise a large & curious assortment of Breeches Balls Straps Boot Garters &c &c &c.' Breeches and straps hang on the wall (right). The room is raftered and very scantily furnished."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Marie Louise shrinks in terror from her baby son, seated on her knee, who threatens her with a dagger. In his left hand is the orb which he seems about to hurl at her. He wears a cocked hat and has the features of his father in profile to the left. Napoleon draws aside a curtain (right); his profile (to the right), expression, and cocked hat resemble those of his son, as in British Museum Satires No. 11719. The Empress: "There's no Condition sure so curst as mine--Day and Night to dandle such a Dragon--The little Angry Cur snarls while it feeds--See how the Blood is settled in his Scarecrow Face--what brutal mischief sits upon his Brow--Rage and Vengeance sparkle in his Cheeks--the very spawn and spit of its Tyrant Father--Nay now I look again he is the very Picture of his Grandfather the Devil". In her alarm she kicks over a child's commode (right); a saucepan and spoon lie on the floor. On the extreme left appears the head of a mitred bishop (probably Fesch), who raises an arm, as if from the floor or below it, holding up to the Empress a goblet inscribed 'Composing Draught'. Beside him, a sinister face, behind the Empress's chair, looks up to say: "Send him to his Grand Pappa as quick as possible"."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"John Bull (right), an obese 'cit', is addressed by a group of citizens, less obese, but much caricatured. Their spokesman says: "You must know, Mr Bull, we are a Society of Odd Fellows who had a lodge in Downing Street, and were robb'd of our Cash and accounts, notwithstanding we met at the Kings Head and so near the Treasury too! - is not it very hard - however we have left Downing Street intirely!" John, his hands under his coat-tails, answers: "All I have to say my good Friends is this - I am very sorry for you but I must own I am of opinion if some more Odd Fellows in Downing Street were to quit theire situations it would be very much to my advantage!" They stand in 'Bird Cage Walk', the name being on a piece of paper on the ground. Behind are railings in front of trees behind which are the towers of Westminster Abbey. On the right 'Downing Street' is indicated, abutting on the 'Treasury', on the extreme right, with a sentry before the building."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
