"Fox as Abdallah, captain of the thieves, leads his band towards the treasure-cave; he stands in profile to the right., facing the cave where a Chancellor's gown and a Chief Justice's gown are suspended. On a table decorated with the Royal Arms are three coronets; in front of it, two sacks of 'Cash', a mace, large rolls of parchment inscribed 'Places' and 'Pensions'. The thieves all wear jewelled turbans with aigrettes, Turkisn trousers tucked into boots, zouave jackets edged with fur over short sleeves. Each holds a sabre. Fox exclaims "Open Sesame." The thieves are crowded together behind Fox and Sheridan, who points to the cave, turning round to say: "Glorious spoils comrades in this Cavern of Ours, surely there is enoug to satisfy us all, I long to lead a sober steady Life." The other thieves are not characterized, and it is not clear to which speaker the different speeches belong. Behind and between Sheridan and Fox is Sidmouth saying: "Blister me [cf. BMSat 9849] if I dont think my exploits deserve that roll of Parchment." Windham (regarded as a war-monger, cf. BMSat 9871), says: "I should like a little cutting and slashing befor I left off Buisiness!" The Marquis of Buckingham, indicated by spectacles, says: "If the Cady will but make me a Viceroy ill give up this buisiness at once." This speech is also connected with Bedford's profile Next the head of the latter is that of the tall Moira. Erskine (1.) says: "I'll take the black gown trim'd with gold, and the valuble [the mace] that belongs to it. for my share". An unappropriated speech must belong to Ellenborough (not discoverable): "Well I'll take the one with the Fur upon it, and some thing to make up for the want of Gold trimming." Others of the band are little Lord Henry Petty looking up at Sheridan and the bulky Grenville with his sabre resting on his shoulder. Profiles suggest Burdett (on the extreme left.) and Grey."--British Museum online catalogue

"The White Horse of Hanover (the King) kicks violently; he has thrown off members of the Ministry who lie under his heels, while Howick and Grenville are about to fall from the saddle; the reins have broken. On the horse's shoulder is the star of the Garter. Grenville, on the hind-quarters, his peer's robe floating behind him, holds the (torn) 'Catholic Bil[l]', while he clutches the slipping Howick. In the middle distance (l.) John Bull, a yokel in a smock, watches delightedly, saying, "Dang it! he has kicked um off at last zure enough! Aye, Aye, it was that cursed Catholic Bill tickled his rightump and set him a Kicking." Sidmouth lies in front of the animal, holding up his arm; he clutches a clyster-pipe (cf. BMSat 9849). The others (l. to r.) are Petty and Erskine in their gowns; the former clutches Howick's r. ankle, dragging him down; the latter sits on a cushion inscribed '4.000 Pr Anm' [see BMSat 10714.] He says: "I've had a cursed short ride! and if it had not been for this little cushion I should have a confounded thump on my Rump." Ellenborough tries to protect his head from the horse's heels. Sheridan, as Harlequin (see BMSat 9916), sprawls on the ground, bleeding at the nose. Moira runs off, as does Temple, also with a bleeding nose; he says: "Curse that Stone I've broke my Nose against it." Before him is a large piece of 'Portland Stone' [see BMSat 10718, &c]; behind him is his spectacled father, Buckingham. On the extreme right. are Windham and Lauderdale, wearing a plaid."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The Regent, very tipsy, one leg on the supper-table, leans back in his chair, putting a hand under the chin of each of two very fat maidservants who stand one on each side. One (left) stands with her back to the fire where a large steak is grilling; she holds a pair of steak-tongs and a glass of wine. He says to her: "Dolly I admire your Chops and now for your Rump I shall find out the beauties of the Kremline in time! Dolly I have a great mind to make you a Dutchess you'll make a nice fat Dutchess, and Cis here shall be a Countess. Should you like to be a Dutchess Dolly?" She answers: "Any thing your Hiness chuses to make me!" General Bloomfield has risen from his chair (right) to hand a glass of wine to the other, saying, "Come Cis take a glass of Claret my girl Countesses [sic] a countess should drink nothing but Claret." Men cooks and soldiers crowd in a doorway (right) to watch. One (? Carême) says: "Got tam! vat he go do Dolly? My Dolly!" Another says to him: "Ah ha! I think you are done with Monr Fricasee." On the table are decanters, &c., and two candelabra. See British Museum Satires No. 13208, &c. The Pavilion, with its onion domes, was called the little Kremlin."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Eight designs in two rows, each with lines parodying 'the House that Jack built' etched above each. Some section of the bridge appears in Nos. 1-5. [1] Tiny French soldiers gallop across the bridge; a man punts in the rapidly flowing river. Behind is Leipzig, a walled town backed by hills. Above: "This is the Bridge that was blown into air." [2] Three men, wearing helmets and aprons, excavate a pit beside the bridge, from which a man looks down: "These are the Miners that had the care / Of mining the Bridge . . . [&c.]." [3] A Grenadier corporal holds a long match towards the covered pit; three tiny Grenadiers run across the bridge: "This is the Corporal, stout and strong, / Who fired the Mine with his match so long, / Which was made by the Miners . . . [&c.]." [4] A swaggering officer points at the ground, looking over his shoulder at the corporal, who runs forward with his match, saluting obsequiously: "This is the Colonel of Infantry, Who ordered the Corporal . . . [&c.]." [5] The colonel listens deferentially to an officer who whispers in his ear, pointing downwards: "This is the Marshal of high degree / Who whispered the Colonel.. .[&c.]." [6] Napoleon gallops from the battlefield, indicated by a drum in the foreground and bodies in the background: "This is the Emperor who scampered away, / And left the Marshal . . . [&c.]." [7] Refugees, including women with infants and an old farmer, make gestures of despair. Behind is the blazing town which more fugitives are leaving: "These are the Thousands who cursed the day, / Which made him Emperor ... [&c.]." [8] Four allied sovereigns in a tent consult over a map held between them. Alexander (left) sits on a camp-stool, the others stoop over the map: the King of Prussia is in back view, facing the Emperor of Austria. Bernadotte faces the Tsar: "These are the Monarchs so gen'rous and brave, / Who conquered the Tyrant, and Liberty gave, / To Thousands on Thousands . . . [&c.]"."--British Museum online catalogue
