"The crowded cabin tilts to the right, to the dismay of a family party dining at a table in the foreground. There is a second table in the background with a meal in progress. The cabin is bordered on left and right by two tiers of berths, apparently for two persons, set in panelling, and with curtains festooned along the upper edge. These are filled by suffering travellers. A bench runs along the front of the berths; other passengers sit on camp-stools. Phases of misery, discomfort, resignation, and (by exception) complacency are realistically illustrated. A sailor pushes a mop-stick through an open hatch in the roof."--British Museum online catalogue

"Six men at a dinner-table, four in regimentals. An officer stands (right) to give a toast, the man seated on his left having said "Come Jack favor us with a Toast". He responds: "Here is the Lady that can raise Five Hundred Members!!" A civilian on his right says: "very fair--very fair". The man at the foot of the table (left) asks his civilian neighbour "How much did you give to be Gazzetted. The man answers gloomily: Five hundred hard cash!!" The sixth man says: "I did not think it would have been done up so soon-- I had promised at least a Dozen promotions"."--British Museum online catalogue

Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', VIII, 1947) See No. 11216, &c. A reference to Mrs. Clarke's effect on the Commons, cf. No. 11238. Wilberforce records in his diary: 'House examining Mrs. Clarke for two hours--cross-examining her in the Old Bailey way--she elegantly dressed, consummately impudent, and very clever: clearly got the better in the tussle' (1 Feb.). 'Mrs. Clarke by fascinating the House has prevented its degradation by appearing to stifle the inquiry, and take too strong a part with the Duke of York--curious to see how strongly she has won upon people' (Feb. 26)., Sheet trimmed to plate mark on two sides., and Mounted to 28 x 42 cm.
"Three men sit, singing a catch, with a round table between them. A British officer (perhaps Cotton), wearing a cocked hat, sits in profile to the right, facing Dalrymple who sits (right) with tightly closed mouth, his hands on his knees. Between them, but with his chair from Dalrymple, sits a man in Spanish (here Portuguese) dress, wearing a feathered hat. The British officer sings: T'was You Sir-Hew - Twas Hew. that let the French Escape, That makes you look so blue Sir-Hew Sir Hew! He and the Portuguese (perhaps Freire) point minatory hands at Dalrymple, whose face is painted lead colour. On the wall are two pictures: (above the Portuguese) 'A correct representation of the French Plunderers stopt in their progress by the Spanish Patriots.' [at Baylen] and (above Dalrymple): 'A Correct representation of the French Plunderers quitting Portugal for France - under a British Escort.' In one a long train of wagons is stopped by armed men, in the other are ships in full sail. On the table are glasses and decanters of 'Port and Calcavella'."--British Museum online catalogue
