Abstract:
"Elba is represented by a flat-topped rock emerging from the sea only a little above the waves. Napoleon, much burlesqued, sits on a huge chamber-pot inscribed 'Imperial Throne'. He is ragged and bare-legged but wears a large (damaged) feathered bicorne; under his arm is a clyster-pipe. He turns his head in profile towards a demon rising from the sea (left) who holds out a large pistol, saying, "If! you have one Spark of Courage left! take this." Napoleon answers: "Perhaps I may if you'll take the flint out." The demon is nude and emaciated, with a spiky backbone; flame issues from his mouth. Behind Napoleon is the trunk of a decayed tree; on a branch hang (right) a (torn) pair of breeches and two tattered stockings. On the trunk, above Napoleon's head, a crow is spreadeagled to represent the imperial eagle; from its splayed legs hangs a gorget inscribed 'Imperiel Crow'. On the ground by Napoleon's throne are a large jar of 'Brimstone', an open book: 'A Triti [sic]--on the Itch! by Doctor Scratch', a small-tooth comb, a pipkin, and three medicine-bottles. On the right is a cannon made out of a jack-boot as in British Museum Satires No. 12255, and mounted on a gun-carriage. A pole topped by a turnip and two carrots has a little wooden sword tied to it, in imitation of a trophy. At its base lies a syringe."--British Museum online catalogue

"The Duke of Clarence dances with a tall thin girl (right), holding both her hands; they face each other in profile. He is unrecognizable, a plainly dressed short and obese John Bull. She wears a cross suspended from a long necklace. The room, with boarded floor and small musicians' gallery, suggests an English provincial assembly-room rather than a Russian palace. Two couples stand against the wall (left), a lady and her partner sit on a bergère (right); a man stands near them. Two of the men have moustaches, as an indication that they are foreigners. All are much amused at the ill-matched partners."--British Museum online catalogue

The mast slants across the deisgn backed by a sail bellying in the wind. W.B. [i.e. William Blockhead] sits miserably with closed eyes astride a spar, to which he has tied his right thigh. His right arm encircles the mast, and to his wrist is tied an open book: Wilt thou upon [the] high & giddy mast scale the ship[?] bays. O yes & rock his brain. Below is a dialogue between the Lleutenant and Blockhead

"Two designs. [1] Scene outside the Queen's house (left) in Portman Street. Four men in court-dress hurry across the street from the door assailed by the mob. In front is Wilberforce (right) holding a 'Petition to the Queen'; he exclaims "Oh! Dear! Saints never were so served before." From the other three (Stuart-Wortley, Bankes, and Sir T. Acland) ascend the words "These are aw-full times as the Scot's man said" [ ? the 'Scotsman', a conspicuously Queenite paper]. In the foreground (left) a man, saying "There he goes Dr Cantwell," and a boy spit copiously at them. The crowd: "Hiss! hiss"; "No Cantwell"; "out out"; "Spit on 'em." Brougham stands in the doorway; Denman behind him; he says "What quantities of rabbid saline!!" The Queen stands on a balcony, the base of which is 'a Good Foundation--(ie) Innocence--'. She says "No Tricks, you faithful representitaves [sic] of the people." [2] A corner of the House of Commons with the Speaker (Manners-Sutton) in the Chair (right), calling "Order! Order!" Beside the table and on the Speaker's right a member stands shouting "Privilege! Privilege." Behind is a group of members, freely sketched. One man looks down from the gallery."--British Museum catalogue
