Abstract:
"A sailor with a long pigtail, holding a cudgel, clumsily mounts a horse on the off side, putting his left. foot in the stirrup. An ostler with a broom, standing by the open stable-door, laughs at him, saying, "Jack you dont mount the Horse the right way - but it is sailor like to look one way and row another." Jack scowls over his left. shoulder to answer: "I dont mount this here horse the right way!! you lubberly swab you dont know the way I'm a going." A hunch-backed little stable-boy, wearing top-boots far too large for him, holds the horse's head, grinning delightedly. There is a landscape background with a distant village (left). A signpost points 'To Leather-head'."--British Museum online catalogue

"John Bull, blindfold, stands on a massive truncated pillar holding the beam of a pair of scales. In one scale (left), near the ground, Mrs. Clarke sits composedly among a mass of papers, holding one inscribed My dear Dearest Dearest Darling [see British Museum satires no. 11228, &c.]. The others are inscribed: Sandon, Toyne [Tonyn], Dowler, Omeara, Carter, French, Knight, Clavering. In the other scale the Duke of York swings high in the air, and shouts down to three men on the ground: Save me save me Save my Honour [cf. British Museum satires no. 11269]. They haul hard at ropes attached to his scale, which they tilt sideways so that he is in danger of falling out. One, a drink-blotched bishop wearing a mitre, says: Pull away Pull away the Church is in danger; the other two say: Pull away Pull away we lose all our Places, and Pull away pull away we shall lose our Noble Commander. On the pillar Britannia is depicted seated with her shield and lion; she holds the broken staff of a flag."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A design in two equal compartments placed side by side. A fat Frenchman (left) sits at a round table in profile to the right, knife and fork in hand, grinning delightedly at a large joint of beef flanked by a vast loaf and a decanter. He wears an enormous cocked hat, Hessian boots, and a coat of quasi-military cut. He says: "Ah What Monsieur Jack Bull you going to starve me!!!" Beside him sits his greyhound, bulgingly replete. From the table hangs a scroll: 'Beef Mutton Veal [bracketed] 002, loaf 005, Plenty'. The table has a cloth, the floor is carpeted. John Bull (right), thin and almost bald, his baggy face showing traces of former tet, sits in profile to the left, with clasped hands, regarding with resigned disgust a small oblong table, on which are a plate of fish (herring and sprats), a small oar, and a meagre dish of potatoes. His ragged coat is that of a once prosperous citizen. He says: "who would have thought it!" From the table hangs a scroll headed 'Pd: Beef 1s, Mutton 10 1/2, Veal 1[s], Butter 1. 6, loaf 1. 9 Potatoes 3d' A pitcher of water stands on the boarded floor. Beside him his emaciated bulldog lies moribund. On the wall in each compartment is a large print: [left] 'A French man in 1788', a copy, reversed of the Frenchman in British Museum Satires No. 5612, Gillray's 'Politeness' (see frontispiece, vol. v); a thin fop taking snuff, and saying over his shoulder (to John Bull), "Vous etes une Bete". The lean greyhound behind his chair sniffs other nervously towards John's mastiff; frogs hang on the wall, [right] A copy of the other part of British Museum Satires No. 5612: 'John Bull in 1788', John sits scowling contemptuously over his (right) shoulder at the Frenchman, saying, "you be d------d". A huge joint hangs on the wall."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Irishmen in volunteer uniform are mounted on galloping bulls; each faces the animal's tail. They hold shillelaghs, wear pouches inscribed 'Potatoes', and fling potatoes towards a small band of ragged sansculottes (right) from whom they are galloping away. These Frenchmen advance, firing muskets; the most prominent fires a cannon. The foremost volunteer, that is, the farthest from the enemy, shouts: "Stop! Stop! ye Scoundrils we shall Soon be after coming up wit ye." The second: "By Jasus if we follow them up at this rate we shall soon see the Tieves out of sight." The third: "Hubbubboo! how the Rogues run their's no overtaking them." The bulls are making for a chasm (left) into which one in the middle distance leaps. In the background are some who have reached comparative safety, but continue to hurl potatoes."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
