Abstract:
"An obese 'cit' and his wife sit side by side at a small round breakfast-table, facing a tall handsome young woman who stands before them. The wife, registering surprise, asks: "What Situation in my Family woud you wish to undertake Young Woman." She answers demurely: "Ma'am I should like to be under Your Man Cook by Way of Improvement." The 'cit', excited and angry, exclaims: "What's that you say I'll be D--nd If you shall be under my Man Cook or any other man in my house." The fat cook, outside the open door (right), laughs uproariously. A large fierce cat advances towards the girl. On the table are tea-things, a large urn, and boiled eggs."--British Museum online catalogue

"A handsome young courtesan sits by the fire, her legs crossed indecorously, her breast bare; she has a decanter at her elbow, and holds a glass of wine. Standing on each side of her are her jailor, holding a bunch of keys, and a hideous old woman; both drink. Over the chimney-piece is a placard: 'Mac Nab Sherrifs Officer for the County of Middlesex--Genteel Accomodation for Ladies and Gentlem[en]'. The door (left) is heavily bolted, and has an iron grille; the large, partly curtained window is massively barred."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"A sequence of six scenes in compartments arranged in three pairs. [1] A foal lies beside its dam. [2] The owner leads the high-stepping animal across a race-course; behind (right) is the weighing-post. [3] Ridden by a huntsman he takes a flying leap over a wall; hounds run beside the animal. [4] He is one of a pair of galloping horses in a post-chaise, ridden by a postilion. An ugly couple sleep uneasily in the chaise. [5] As an emaciated pack-horse he plods along a rough track, thrashed by a coarse old peasant woman. [6] A huntsman stands on his dead body, cutting off the flesh for the hounds; carrion birds hover."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"Masqueraders stand closely grouped. A centre figure is an obese, aged, and capering Punch, playing a guitar. Two women are prominent, both are in profile to the left, and wear small masks which frame their eyes. One holds a wand and a book inscribed 'Magi', the other wears breeches and is very décolletée. Behind her is an ugly coarse-looking man, wearing a domino with a naturalistic mask resembling his own features. A man wears a bag-wig with large horns and carries a placard inscribed 'Horns to Sell'. One figure wears two realistic and complete masks, Janus-like--one that of a handsome woman, the other of an ugly man. The background is an arc of a rotunda, with Ionic pillars framing curtains and decorated with fairy lights."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

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
