Abstract:
"Atlas (right), bearded and muscular, nude except for swirling drapery, kneels on one knee, supporting with both hands a terrestrial globe which he pushes towards Napoleon on whom it is about to fall. The Emperor staggers back, dropping his sword, his left arm and right leg are raised high, to ward off the impact. He looks up, terrified, and says: "France be mine! Holland be mine! Italy be mine! Spain & Poland be mine! Russ, Prussia Turky, de whole World vil be mine!!! Monsr Atlas hold up dont let it fall on me." Atlas, with a menacing frown, answers: "When the Friends of Freedom and Peace have stop'd your shakeing it on my shoulders [and] got their own again, I'll bear it, till then you may carry it yourself Master Boney!" Close behind Napoleon (left) two French marshals or generals flee to the left, looking back at the globe One (left) says: "By Gar tis true tis fall on your Head! votre Serviteur! we no stop to be crush vid you"; the other: "Votre Serviteur Monsr Boney." Napoleon's head is scarcely caricatured, the generals are grotesques in the manner of Gillray, e.g. in British Museum Satires No. 9403, 'French Generals retiring, on account of their Health . . .' The globe is patterned with continents and islands regardless of geography."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"An elaborate sign-post on a pillar, with five arms topped by a fool's cap, stands in the centre of a landscape. The directions are: 'To Love--you are requested not to pluck the Roses till they fall off. To Prison. NB The Courts of Law will shew the way, and take care of your Luggage. To Honour carry Arms with you as you will not get through without a Duel. To Matrimony Caution--Travel this road in boots and wear gloves it being overrun with Nettles. To the Undertakers Observe--the nearest way through the Apothecary Shop.' On the column: 'If you cannot read you must take your Chance.' A well-dressed English traveller (left) addresses a sturdy Irishman (right): "Why Pat! you have a variety of curious Roads here, but hav'nt you any Road to Preferment?" Pat answers: "Arrah my Jewel, but that Road has been removed to England ever since the Union; you pass through it to the Kings Palace and I['m] tould it's the dirtiest Road in Great Britain!"."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The centre of the system is a circle ..., enclosing 'Iohn Bull', a fat 'cit' smoking a long pipe; with frothing jug, glass, and 'Extraordinary Gazette' on a table, and his dog beside him. The circle is enclosed with a band inscribed: 'God the King - Old Englands Wooden Walls. - Britons Strike Home - Britannia Rule the Waves - '. Outside this is a circle of ships at sea inscribed: 'British Navy', repeated seven times, with two stars at each interval. These are John's 'Satelites'. This outer circle is irradiated, but is surrounded with heavy clouds and 'malignant aspects', the chief being a comet with the head and shoulders of Napoleon, in back view, shooting upwards and from the right: 'A Corsican Comet Frenchified'. On its left, seated on a cloud and linked to Napoleon by a chain, is a 'Russian Bear with two heads, an appendage to the Comet.' On Napoleon's right a frog sits on a cloud smoking a pipe: 'Dutch Frog'. Nearly opposite the centre of the circle are (left) a 'Danish Mouse' and (right) a 'Spanish Puff' or fungus. Above these are (left) an 'Italian Greyhound' and (right) 'Swiss Cheese'. All these are poised on clouds. Above the circle stars are scattered inscribed (left and right) 'Minor Constellations with malignant Aspects'. Between these, and opposite the comet, a scaly creature with a tail and small wings spits venom at the 'British Navy' from a wide mouth edged with large teeth; this is 'American Torpedo' [the torpedo being a ray-fish which discharges electricity]."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The Lord Chancellor (Eldon), preceded by his mace-bearer holding a sword, is about to alight on the pavement outside Westminster Hall (left), having flown diagonally down from the right; next him is (?) the Vice-Chancellor Plumer, close behind are eight other judges followed by a closely packed swarm of barristers who recede in perspective. All are in wig and gown. Behind the barristers are their clerks, wearing top-hats and carrying (green) brief-bags over their shoulders. Three men stand outside the door of Westminster Hall waiting obsequiously to receive the Chancellor and his swarm; one is a constable holding his staff, the others wear black gowns, the foremost having cloven hoofs. In the street below (right) a few terrified pedestrians look up at the monstrous flight."--British Museum online catalogue
