"John Bull (right), an obese 'cit', is addressed by a group of citizens, less obese, but much caricatured. Their spokesman says: "You must know, Mr Bull, we are a Society of Odd Fellows who had a lodge in Downing Street, and were robb'd of our Cash and accounts, notwithstanding we met at the Kings Head and so near the Treasury too! - is not it very hard - however we have left Downing Street intirely!" John, his hands under his coat-tails, answers: "All I have to say my good Friends is this - I am very sorry for you but I must own I am of opinion if some more Odd Fellows in Downing Street were to quit theire situations it would be very much to my advantage!" They stand in 'Bird Cage Walk', the name being on a piece of paper on the ground. Behind are railings in front of trees behind which are the towers of Westminster Abbey. On the right 'Downing Street' is indicated, abutting on the 'Treasury', on the extreme right, with a sentry before the building."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.

"A little boy (looking more like a girl) in a frock and cross-gartered shoes, with short, untidy hair, stands agressively, one foot raised to kick, fists clenched. At his feet are a battledore and shuttlecock and a doll; above his head hangs a canary in a cage. He shouts: I dont like Dolls!-I dont like Canary Birds-I hate Battledore and Shuttlecock, I like Drums, and Trumpets-I wont go to school-I will stay at home-I will have my own way in every thing!! The mother, an ugly middle-aged woman (right), in an old-fashioned dress, with a cap and apron, stoops towards him, saying, Bless the Baby-what an aspiring spirit-if he goes on in this way-he will be a second Buonaparte! Behind her (right) stands a pretty nursemaid holding a younger child who screams and waves a rattle."--British Museum online catalogue.
