Abstract:
"The centre of the system is a circle ..., enclosing 'Iohn Bull', a fat 'cit' smoking a long pipe; with frothing jug, glass, and 'Extraordinary Gazette' on a table, and his dog beside him. The circle is enclosed with a band inscribed: 'God the King - Old Englands Wooden Walls. - Britons Strike Home - Britannia Rule the Waves - '. Outside this is a circle of ships at sea inscribed: 'British Navy', repeated seven times, with two stars at each interval. These are John's 'Satelites'. This outer circle is irradiated, but is surrounded with heavy clouds and 'malignant aspects', the chief being a comet with the head and shoulders of Napoleon, in back view, shooting upwards and from the right: 'A Corsican Comet Frenchified'. On its left, seated on a cloud and linked to Napoleon by a chain, is a 'Russian Bear with two heads, an appendage to the Comet.' On Napoleon's right a frog sits on a cloud smoking a pipe: 'Dutch Frog'. Nearly opposite the centre of the circle are (left) a 'Danish Mouse' and (right) a 'Spanish Puff' or fungus. Above these are (left) an 'Italian Greyhound' and (right) 'Swiss Cheese'. All these are poised on clouds. Above the circle stars are scattered inscribed (left and right) 'Minor Constellations with malignant Aspects'. Between these, and opposite the comet, a scaly creature with a tail and small wings spits venom at the 'British Navy' from a wide mouth edged with large teeth; this is 'American Torpedo' [the torpedo being a ray-fish which discharges electricity]."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"British households are represented by large straw bee-hives; these are assailed by tax-collectors and their satellites who run through the air in a swarm. One hive is in the foreground (right), the two next are in the middle distance, with a line of little hives in the distance, curving to the left margin. John Bull, ragged but chubby, stands defiantly on the step of his hive, defending it with a stake shaped like a rough pitchfork and inscribed 'Prop of Reform'; with this he prods the foremost collector, who drops book and pen in dismay. Behind him in the doorway is his wife, brandishing a poker, while three ragged and terrified small children cluster round the door. Other tax-gatherers assail the upper part of the hive; one has made a hole in the straw and puts in his hand; he has already seized honey. Another man departs with chunks of honeycomb, but his coat-tails are clutched by a man who leans from a hole in the hive. Another collector runs through the air, laden with spoil. More of the swarm are still advancing, holding pen and book or paper. One, holding up a constable's staff, holds out a 'Warrant [of] Distress . . John Bull' [scarcely legible]; another has a huge book inscribed 'Poor's Rate'. Other books are inscribed 'Kings Tax' and 'Assess'd Taxes'. One man holds out a paper inscribed 'Snatch Broker & Sworn Appraiser'. The men recede in perspective towards the upper left corner of the design, from which the swarm is descending upon the hives. A tax-gatherer enters the door of the second hive, while another stands on the upper part nailing on it a placard: 'Kings Taxes'. In the foreground (right) beside the hive a broken cord drops from a clothes-prop weighted down with tattered garments. On the left is a smoking manure-heap inscribed 'Ministrial Dung-hill'; on this lies a paper, 'Prope[rty] Tax' [now removed, see British Museum Satires No. 12750, &c.], and from it grow toadstools inscribed 'Place, Pension', and 'Sinecure'."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"John Bull, a 'cit' wearing (unfastened) shirt and breeches, stands in a bare room near a miserable truckle bed, furiously waving wig and a night-cap inscribed 'Patent', towards objects representing malt, tea, tobacco, and coffee. He has flung at them his hat, coat, waistcoat, and shoes, and they totter backwards under the impact (right). All are demanding "More Wages," except malt, which asks for "More Profit." John shouts: "More Wages, you Scoundrels! will you never be satisfied! have'nt I given you House and increased your wages at different Tunes for Years past, and now you want more! But I'll dispense with ye all, so out of my House, ye pampered Knaves! you have pretty near stript me, theres my wig among ye! I'll put on this patent Narcotic Night cap and sleep till you have come to your senses again, so take yourself off to your advisers! Off with you! off!!!" The objects are constructed of utensils, &c., as in British Museum Satires No. 11822, &c.; they are closely grouped and delicately poised; they totter towards the open door (right). Tea is built up on sugar-tongs for legs, supporting two cups and saucers on which is a tea-caddy; on this rests a large kettle, spouting steam, and itself supporting a pile of sugar-bowl, tea-pot (from which spouts liquid inscribed 'More Wages'), cream-jug, and spoons. A solid cask of 'Home Brewed' is supported on long-stemmed glasses for legs; on it is a tankard of 'No Mans Entire' from which issues froth inscribed 'More Profit'. This is flanked by two bunches of barley. Two long tobacco-pipes, one broken, are legs supporting a canister of 'Best Virginia'; on this is a triangular spittoon, supporting a guttering candle-end in a flat candle-stick; the smoke from this is inscribed 'More Wages'. Nearest the door (right) two spoons support two coffee-cups and saucers on which is a coffee-mill, supporting a milk-jug from which a coffee-pot is falling, spouting 'More Wages'. On the bare floor (left) near a pitcher of 'Water' is an open book, 'The Life of Comoro', with a portrait head."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The three members of the Royal family who had recently been given the Freedom of the City as members of the Fishmongers' Company are represented as Billingsgate porters, carrying baskets of fish on their heads, and being kissed by Billingsgate women. All wear flat round hats and aprons. Prince Leopold has a German sausage (cf. British Museum Catalogue No. 12759) projecting from his coat-pocket, and another is in his basket. A comely woman puts her arms round his neck, saying, "My dear Boy you are Welcome to Billinsgate, come give us a buss!! Charlotte wont be angry." He answers: "Stop my Dear I lay down my Sole, and give you bit de german saucage." Two women (left) hurry up from the left, eagerly wiping their mouths on their aprons. They say: "By Goles he's a nice fellow Come do make haste Poll," and "That's right Bet! if you dont look sharp we shant get a taste." The Duke of Sussex, fat and good-natured, is beset by two women, one, an Irishwoman, kisses his mouth. He says: "You Hussey you'll upset my Cod!" She answers: "By the Powers if I care about that my Jewel! I'll have a taste of your Jowl, and a rare Jolly one it is!!" A paper projects from his pocket: 'Freedom of the City of London'. In the middle distance (right) stands the Duke of Gloucester, silent between three women who say: "Now let me have the first an I'll carry your fish; Give me the first and I'll carry you and fish too my heart I'll have such a smack," and "You have a smack indeed I'm the girl for smacking & know the true Gloucester go." A woman sitting by her basket (right) drinking gin says: "you may smack there I'll smack here! so God Bless the Royal Fishmongers." Behind are masts and sails with (right) the colonnade of Billingsgate Market on the quay-side."--British Museum online catalogue
