- Abstract:
- "The Pope has descended from his dais (r.) to bless the Petitioners; his cross rests against his shoulder, and both hands are extended, a ring on each forefinger. Behind the Pope, standing on tiptoe on the Papal robe, is Napoleon, dressed as at his coronation, wearing his crown and holding his sceptre. He puts his hand on the Pope's shoulder and says: "Thank them for pleading our cause and particularly for their assertion that the rightoman Catholic Religion is totally altered, make the people believe that, and we'll soon give them the second part of Fox's book of Martyrs." At the head of the petitioners kneels Fox, saying, "Bad luck now, better next time please your Holiness." The Pope says: "Bless you all my Children, for the great good you intended us, but it is not in Mortals, to command success, My Master here, will be very much disappointed". Behind Fox, Norfolk and Sheridan kneel side by side. Next are Derby, in hunting-dress, bending his head, and Moira in regimentals, very erect. Behind them and on the extreme left. Grattan stands, bending forward to swing a censer over the heads of the kneeling men."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "A winding river flows (left to right) towards a hill in the background surmounted by a temple of Fame. In the foreground (left) is a 'Dunghill of Republican Horse Turds'; in the stream float turds from the dunghill, while farther up are golden apples, crowned and inscribed. The foremost is 'English-Pippin', close behind are 'Imperial-Pippin' and 'Russian-Pippin'; they are followed by a (turbaned) 'Turkish-Pippin' and a small 'Neapolitan' [Pippin]. From a mass of floating dung emerges the profile head of Bonaparte, wearing a feathered cocked hat inscribed 'First Horse Turd'; this is the central and dominating object in the river; from his mouth issues a large label: 'A ha! par ma foi - how We Apples Swim!' Lumps of dung close behind him are inscribed 'Second Horse Turd' [Cambacérès], 'Third Horse Turd' [Lebrun], and 'Seyes' [sic]. They are followed by 'Massena', 'Jourdan', 'Talleyrand'. Bonaparte swims between 'Spanish-Pippin' and 'Prussian-Pippin', both in proximity to dung. Behind him float 'Papal P[ippin]', a triple crown, and 'Sardinian [Pippin]', both half submerged. Under water are submerged (or dead) turds: 'Robespierre', 'Marat', 'Condorcet', 'Roland'. A spreading column of thick smoke arises from the dunghill, which is composed of inscribed fragments, from which in the left foreground tiny heads emerge, the dominant one being Fox, who says: "Caira! Caira! - chacun à son tour! We shall all Swim in our turns"; next him is 'Envy'. Tierney, the second head, says: "Yes! Yes! - none of Us was born to be Drowned". The others are Sheridan, Nicholls, Erskine, and (slightly smaller) Burdett, Derby, Taylor. Those indicated by names only are: 'Voltaire', 'Rosseau' [sic], 'd'Alembert', 'Godwin', 'Price', 'Priestley', 'Holcroft', '(?) Darwin', close to (scarcely legible) 'Mo[rning] Po[st]', 'Morn. Chronicle', 'Courier [see BMSat 9194]. Larger turds are: 'Atheism', 'Falshood', 'Regicide', 'Egalité', 'Disappointment', 'Beggary', 'Poverty', 'Plunder', 'Paines Rights of Man' [see BMSat 7867, &c], 'Republican Faith', 'Theophilanthropy' [see BMSat 9240], 'Deceit [twice]', 'Lies', 'Licentiousness', 'Hypocrisy'."--British Museum online catalogue

- "Britannia, massive, but childlike, sleeps in a large wicker cradle, rocked by Addington, dressed as an elderly woman, who is seated on a low stool (right). Hawkesbury, a thin and spinsterish nursemaid, (left) approaches the foot of the cradle holding out an ornate child's commode, inscribed 'French C . . k . . g Chair'. Behind the cradle appear the head and shoulders of Fox, looking furtively towards Britannia and Addington, while he hangs out napkins to dry on a cord stretched across the fireplace; one is 'French Cambrick'. Britannia sleeps with her thumb in her mouth, her right arm across the coverlet, holding her shield and spear; her uncovered shoulder shows that she is wearing a Roman corslet.

- Abstract:
- "A satire on the peace negotiations and on Windham's Training Act. The scene is outside the 'Treasury', the lower part of its façade forming the background. Ministers and their supporters as 'Corporal and Conscripts' obey the orders of their 'Drill-Serjeant' Napoleon, who stands on the extreme left., his jack-boots firmly planted on cannon-balls him height. He extends his sword with an arrogant gesture, and fiercely orders: "Ground - Arms!" Next him, and in back view, but looking up at him, is Fox seated in an invalid's wheeled chair on the back of which are the coronet and feathers of the Prince of Wales. He is 'Grand Double Drums' and is vigorously beating a pair of kettle-drums, one inscribed 'GR' and crown, the other 'N' and crown. He wears a dressing-gown and bonnet rouge, and his enormously distended legs are straddled outside his drums. On Fox's r. is the 'Flugel Man', Grenville, going through the movement as a pattern to the other privates. He kneels on the left knee and grounds his musket, putting up his hand to shield his eyes; his bayonet is broken, as is its sheath. The 'Corporal & Conscripts' drawn up (r.) facing Napoleon attempt the movement with extreme awkwardness and obsequious haste, not excepting Windham the corporal, the end man (r.) of the front rank. Next him is Lord Holland, on both knees, with an amiable smile. Then Sheridan, very bulky and awkward, but unlike the others directing his musket towards Napoleon. Petty, on both knees, flings down his musket with an obsequious gesture. Next him Lord Temple grovels displaying spherical posteriors. Next, at the end of the line, and close to the gate of the Treasury, kneels Erskine, in wig and gown, raising his hat. In the second rank, behind Windham, is Howick, First Lord, deferentially raising a naval cocked hat; Sidmouth staggers back, throwing up his arms and dropping his musket which lands on his face. Next are Spencer, clumsily lifting his musket, and Ellenborough in wig and gown, with a blunderbuss which he seems about to dash violently on the ground. Behind him is Moira, stiff and tall, in uniform with cocked hat, holding up a musket exploding at lock and barrel. Behind and in shadow are (l. to r.) St. Vincent, Hanger, and the Duke of Clarence, all holding up the muskets which the next rank prevents them from grounding. Most of the 'conscripts' wear civilian dress with crossed bandoleers, and are in most unsoldierly confusion. By the Treasury gate and facing Erskine stands the 'Constable of the Corps', Talleyrand, holding a long constable's staff, crowned, his left. arm extended in a gesture of command; one twisted leg is supported by a stilt under the shoe. As ex-Bishop of Autun (see BMSat 8088) he wears a hat whose crown is a mitre, a long gown and bands over his coat, and a rosary. In his mouth is a pen. Above his head a bird with webbed wings and the head of Lauderdale flies towards Fox, clutching a paper: 'Terms of Peace'. In his mouth is a completely are olive branch. He wears a bonnet rouge, and his body is covered with tartan."--British Museum online catalogue
