"Two designs side by side. [1] The back view of the Achilles statue burlesqued on its high pedestal raised on a plinth. The figure wears spurred jack-boots, and is supported under the right thigh by a pair of army trousers decorated by a fig-leaf, and with a stripe inscribed Wellingtons. The posterior is exaggerated. On the pedestal: Placed on this Spot by Command of his | Majesty Geoe IIII--. Spectators crowd round it, all women except for one man who turns to a woman with a prurient leer and the Duke himself, in profile to the left, caricatured, who gazes up at it, stooping forward; he wears uniform with sword and jack-boots and holds his plumed cocked hat in both hands. A buxom lady stands beside him, pointing to the statue; she turns to him to say: See my Ball o' Wax [a slang term for shoemaker]! what we Ladies Can raise, when we wish to put a man in mind of what he has done & we hope will do again when call'd for!!! The Duke answers: The Honor is so great, that all I can say by the Powers, is that I'm Speechless. Two ladies stand arm-in-arm in back view, pointing up at the statue; a little boy asks: Is that--The Regents Bomb Mama? A telescope is directed at the statue, and a little girl is held above the crowd to see the sight. From the crowd labels ascend, inscribed: Do you think it will stand the Weather?; Bless you it will stand any thing; My Eyes what a Size!!; I see it!! [2] A front view of the booted statue, displaying a grotesque face, and the fig-leaf. On the pedestal: To "Authur O'Bradly" and his | "Jolly Companions every one" | This Brazen Image of Patrick | O'Killus Esqr-- | Is inscribed by their Country-women. Two women (right), arm-in-arm, gaze up. One exclaims: La! they must be a Brazen set of jades to stick up such a thing as this in public-- what is it meant for? The other answers: I understand it is intended to represent His Grace after bathing in the Serpentine & defending himself from the attack of Constables. A little girl (or boy) points up, asking What is that Mama? The spectators on the left are generally better dressed and more sophisticated; among them is a negress. Seven of them say: This will be a place of great attraction in the height of the Season--; You mean the fall of the Leaf I suppose?; I would not give a fig for it; well, for my part I think it a great ugly useless thing; Pray Mem, have you seen the Original one--at Rome; O! yes--the Original is much finer.; I don't think its quite the thing-- On a piece of drapery suspended from the upper margin across both designs: His Brawny Shoulders 4 ft Square His Cheeks like thumping Kidney tatees His legs would make a Chairman Stare And Pat was loved by all the Ladies" "The Ladies Joy &c &c" Paddy Carey [see British Museum Satires No. 14970]."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The pair, both very bulky in Highland costume, are back to back. The King (right), wearing a feathered bonnet, a huge sporran, and a sword, stoops to kiss a lady (see British Museum Satires No. 14384), hands clasped behind her neck; he says: "The Sweetest hours that 'ere I spent, it was among The Lasses O! Other ladies eagerly wait their turn. One, behind the King, covers her face with her fan. Curtis, grotesquely obese, and directed to the left, capers, snapping his fingers. He wears a turtle in place of sporran, and in his belt are knife, fork, and ladle. Round his neck is a double chain of sausages. He sings: "Georgie loves good ale & wine And Geordie loves good Brandy And Geordie loves to Kiss all the Girls As sweet as Sugar Candy"-- God save the King Huzza my Boys!! I'm the Boy for a bit of a Jollification! play up Piper!! A piper (left) with bare, thin, and misshapen legs plays and dances. A stout Highlander watches with a grin.

"Promenaders in Hyde Park illustrate these titles. [1] A dandy walks, right to left, jauntily rakish, holding a lorgnette and glove in a gloved hand. He wears a large bell-shaped top-hat, beneath which projects a great tuft of curled hair. Under his arm is a rolled umbrella. [2] A Quaker, in a shallow broad-brimmed hat, walks primly (right to left) with a young (twin) daughter on each arm. He holds a large gamp umbrella, fastened and point downwards. [3] A thin man wearing a long greatcoat and seedy top-hat, walks (left to right) with an expression of acute melancholy. He trails behind him an unfastened umbrella. He faces heavy wind and slanting rain. Beside him is a small dead tree. Near each is an appropriate dog."--British Museum online catalogue

"A kitchen scene. An ugly parson holding a small slice of meat speared on a fork, angrily berates his gardener (right), pointing behind him to a vast round of beef on the table (left). He bawls: 'Tis my Beef you rascal I'll swear to the Complexion of it--& my Bread too! & I'll have you hanged for stealing it. The gardener, a young man holding a spade, draws back in astonishment, saying, Lord love your Reverence my Aunt gave me that slice of Bread & Beef for my dinner to day!! The comely cook holds up her hands and turns up her eyes, exclaiming: O L--d O L--d what a x x x !!!!! it is no more like his Beef than I am--. A mouse scampers off, saying, Besides, if it was Cookee, what a d--d mean wretch to take notice of it-- 'tis time for me to be off! On the table are also a huge loaf, a slice of bread, and a knife. A leg of mutton is on a shelf; a large dresser with dishes, drawers, pots, &c, and a roller towel form a background."--British Museum online catalogue

"A scene in the Royal yacht. George IV kneels at the feet of 'Lady Hell-fling-stone' who is seated (left), expressing delighted acceptance. The King wears Highland dress with a very short kilt and cavalry boots (see British Museum Satires No. 14220) on bare legs. His (Garter) star is centred by a heart. He has a love-sick expression, right hand on his heart, his feathered bonnet in his left hand. On an ornate altar-like table are decanters and glasses. Curtis, even more burlesqued than before, enters (right) carrying a tureen of steaming (turtle) soup. He is in Highland costume with spoon, knife, and fork in the belt that encircles his paunch; a double chain of sausages (cf. British Museum Satires No. 14389) hangs from his shoulders, and he wears a fool's cap."--British Museum online catalogue
