"Naval mutineers, seated and standing at a long table, glare ferociously at Admiral Buckner, who stands (left) calmly, hat in hand, in profile to the right at the foot of the table. The man at the head of the table, seated in a chair which is higher than the others, holds a blunderbuss and wears a hat. He must be Richard Parker, but does not resemble him. At his elbow and on the extreme right stands Thelwall filling a glass from a 'Grog' can; he says "Tell him we intend to be Masters, I'll read him a Lecture"; from his pocket hangs a paper: 'Thellwals Lecture' (see British Museum Satires No. 8685). One man only is seated on the president's left and on the near side of the table. He places a fist on a long paper headed 'Resolutions'. Under the table in the foreground, lifting up the tablecloth, five secret instigators are (left to right): Lauderdale, holding a paper: 'Letter from Sheerness to Ld L------le'; Horne Tooke, Stanhope, Grey, Fox, the most prominent, saying, "Aye, Aye, we are at the bottom of it", and Sheridan. All have satisfied smiles. Four ruffians are seated at the farther side of the table, others stand behind them; one aims a pistol over the admiral's head, one man smokes, another chews tobacco, taking a quid from his box. Weapons lie on the table. On the wall behind them are a print of Britannia head downwards, and two torn ballads: 'True Blue an old Song' and 'Hearts of Oak are our Ships Jolly Tars are our men We alway are Ready', the last word scored through. On the right the slanting window of the captain's cabin is indicated."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
A large naked monster sits astride a large cup, which is balanced on a dagger held in the mouth of a small sansculotte juggler who exclaims, " By Gar tis var heavy, O dear! O dear! It will fall!" The monster holds in his hands the heads of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. On his head five daggers meet at a point to form a cap labelled "Cap of Liberty." He grins showing sharp teeth, two labels issuing from his mouth, " Ca ira, ca ira, ca ira" and "Hold me well up or I will bit off your head."

"A scene on the Steine at Brighton. A small, fashionably dressed man carries (left to right) a large and muscular man, who sits astride his back, naked, holding his hat to shield his person. Two ladies (right) walking together stare at him, one holding up a fan and looking through the fingers she puts across her eyes. A dog (right) snarls at the naked man. On the left the Prince of Wales stands full-face, legs astride, arms akimbo, ogling a lady who stands (left) in profile to the right, staring at him immodestly (Lady Jersey?). Another lady smiles at the Prince. In the background are promenading couples, and a house with a circular bow window. Beneath the title: 'NB The singularity of the Spectacle & the Largeness of the Object caused much mirth among the Ladies - Lady C------ [Cholmondeley?] Exclaimed with a Sigh oh it is too much for any Man!!'"--British Museum online catalogue
