"A kitchen scene. An enormously fat cook sits by a kitchen fire, toasting-fork in hand, caressing a young man, whom she has provided with the slice of bread placed under roasting meat known as a sop in the pan. He eats the delicacy, but looks warily at the cook. A large joint of beef turns on a spit before a fierce fire (right) on which a pot is boiling. The arrangement of the dresser (left) is characteristic of the period, and long survived (or survives): dishes above, plates below; a grater and sauce-boats hang from nails, pots are piled on the pot-board under the dresser-drawers.

Abstract:
"Six scenes, arranged in two rows, each with an inscription above the design. The figures are realistic, not 'Lilliputian', as in British Museum Satires No. 11134, &c. [1] 'Lilliput is situated a considerable distance from the Island of Great Britain, and the Natives have many singular manners and customs, one in particular is swearing to give a vote according to conscience with one hand, and receiving a bribe with the other--what a happy thing it is that nothing of the kind ever occured in England.' A scene at the hustings, showing one of the posts inscribed 'St M . . .' indicating the polling-place for one of the Westminster parishes, cf. British Museum Satires No. 10619, &c. An elector takes a book (Testament) from a poll-clerk, while a man slips coins into the hand which he holds behind his back. There are spectators (or voters) outside and inside the hustings; a woman sells a ballad. [2] 'They have a litte [sic] man in Lilliput call'd John Bull, we suppose in humble imitation of that Gentleman so named in our Country but the comparison can never hold good, the Lilliputian John Bull though overburthened with Taxes is continually visited by the collector for more--we well know that is not the case in England!!' John Bull, a fat 'cit', is seated in an arm-chair wearing a hat, with a tankard and pipe on a table beside him. He looks up angrily at a lean tax-collector who stoops towards him, holding an open book. On the wall is a (damaged) picture, 'Liberty', holding her cap on a staff. [3] 'There we frequently see Merit in distress, and Ignorance, rolling in affluence, if such facts were mention'd in England, they would not be believed!! their manners are so different.' A street scene. A small thin man (left), his eyes on the ground, and a fat, vulgar, arrogant fellow walk towards each other on the pavement. The former has his hand in his coat-pocket in which is a pamphlet: 'Poem[s] on var ....' They are identified by two bills on the wall: 'By Permission of the Lord Chamberlain--for the Benefit of Peter Prose authour of several Pieces' and (headed by the Royal Arms) 'Slushbuckett Nightman to his Majesty'. [4] 'In Lilliput it is well known that a Female throug [sic] certain influence has disposed of situations in the Army and Church, what would our John Bull say to that!!' Mrs. Clarke receives her clients seated at a small round table; she holds out her hand to take a money-bag from a parson (O'Meara, see British Museum Satires No. 11258, &c.). Behind, an officer advances, sweeping the ground deferentially with his cocked hat, a money-bag in his hand. The head of a third applicant is on the extreme right. A window and a folding screen form a background. The Duke of York inconspicuously watches from behind the screen. See British Museum Satires No. 11216, &c. [5] 'A certain Nobleman in Lilliput is said to have become a jobber and disposed of a seat in Parliament; a pretty Parliament that must be!! O John Bull you are a happy man!' Castlereagh and another well-dressed man sit facing each other across a small round table. Castlereagh hands over a document, the other a money-bag. [6] 'In Lilliput it is common for a boy of fifteen through interest, to leap over the shoulders of a vetran Hero!--Ay John Bull you may well be suprized--but such things are practiced there we assure you.' A boyish officer poised on the bent back of an elderly one, is about to leap over his head; he wears a fashionable crescent-shaped cocked hat; the elder man's old-fashioned tricorne falls to the ground. In front of them is an open door set in a stone arch, probably that of the Horse Guards. John Bull, a fat 'cit', stands in profile to the right, gazing in astonishment. This long-standing abuse came into notice over the proceedings against the Duke of York, see British Museum Satires No. 11281."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Birmingham brass-founders have cast a large brazen head, representing Sir Charles Wolseley, and are about to place it upon a full-dressed effigy without a head, which two men hold erect under a tripod. Two workmen carry the head from a furnace (left) towards the tripod; a third who stands behind says: "Say what they will of our Member they can't say he wants Head!!" One of the pair, who strain under the weight, answers: "No or that he is light headed!" The other adds: "Faith they'll soon find that out if they should come to logerheads." The (normal-sized) body is under the tripod from which hang ropes by which the head is to be hoisted into position. One of the men holding the ropes looks round to ask: "Have you put Brass enough in the [head] he'll soon be put out of countenance if you have 'nt." Two of the others say: "We are the Body and shanks when they are wanted you know!" and "Now Lads up with it! never mind a little mistake in proportion--it's a Head we want!" Behind them (left) is a furnace. From the right workmen hurry forward, one carrying two large cans of beer; one of them shouts: "Here is the liquor and the Parson, so make haste that we may Christen him." On the left lie the moulds in which the head and limbs have been cast. Tools and tankards are also on the ground. Through an opening in the wall behind the men are seen smoking kilns."--British Museum online catalogue

"Marie Louise (left) sits on the edge of a canopied bed adjusting her garter (she is perhaps adapted from Mrs. Fitz-herbert in Gillray's 'The Morning after Marriage', British Museum Satires No. 7298). Her back is to Napoleon, who sits up in bed turning to the Devil (right) who approaches from behind the curtain, pitchfork in hand. The Emperor's hand rests on an open book: 'Aristotle's Master-piece or the Secrets of Nature Reveal'd'. He says: "My good friend I smell your approach, and know what you are come about, I am loth to part with Maria yet, and am consulting this book before I determine, yes! yes! she must sleep with her Aunts & Cousins if it is necessary for my Reputation I'll not he laughd at". The Devil, who is nude, with horns, webbed wings, and barbed tail, answers: "Poh! Poh! dont gammon me about books, you know your impotence, send her to Heaven, or I'll withdraw my protection and you'll come to Hell presto". Marie Louise says: "Oh dear! if this is the deligt's of Love I am surfeited already, to be sure few husbands disturb their wives rest more than mine does, but it's with starting & kicking in his sleep & crying have mercy on me. I suppose Josephine used to worry him so. bless me what a smell of brimstone there is!"

Abstract:
"An obese country footman stands at the door of a large town house, addressing a fashionable London servant, who stands (left) between the two pillars of the porch, his hands behind his back, legs astride. The latter says: "Tell the Dowager, My Lady is gone to Court." The other: "Gone to Court!! come thats a good one--I thought she was married-- you Lononers be strange people to be sure--Gone to Court! Mercy on us! why where I come from the Leadies always expect--that of the Men." He wears a gold-laced cocked hat and livery coat; a gold-headed cane is in his right hand; his left hand is in his coat-pocket (a characteristic of uncouth servants in these prints). Behind him is a bull-terrier, behind the other a greyhound. In the background are the trees of a square backed by houses, with a statue in the garden suggestive of Berkeley or Cavendish Square. In the roadway a coroneted sedan-chair is borne off by two liveried chair-men, preceded by two footmen."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
