Abstract:
"A lady (three-quarter length) in profile to the right. with the enormous coiffure of 1776-7 grotesquely exaggerated. Her hands are in a muff. Her inverted pyramid of hair supports three quasi-circular redoubts surrounded by cannon on which troops are fighting. On each is a flag large out of all proportion to the soldiers. There are also a train of artillery, and a number of tents. All the men in the redoubts are dressed as British soldiers but are firing point-blank at each other; their three flags are decorated respectively with an ape, with two women holding darts of lightning, and with a goose."--British Museum online catalogue and "A companion print to British Museum Satires No. 5335. Evidently intended to satirize the fighting at Bunker Hill, 17 June 1775. For similar satires on hair-dressing see British Museum Satires No. 5378, apparently a parody of this print."--Curator's comments, British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A whole length figure running forwards. He is grinning; in his right hand he holds up a short shovel, in his left is a brush. His clothes are ragged; his toes appear through remnants of buckled shoes. He wears a laced hat, a cravat, and a ruffled shirt. In place of a wig is what appears to be a tightly-curled lamb's fleece resting on his shoulders; two pieces of crossed wood imitate a sword. A miniature figure in ragged clothes and a long thin queue faces him astride a tasselled cane. He is a chimney sweeper dressed for the first of May celebrations which were usual in London. The small figure may represent a child-apprentice or climbing boy, though there is nothing juvenile in its appearance."--British Museum online catalogue
