"John Bull, a hideously carbuncled 'cit', looks down grinning at a semicircle of men on a much smaller scale who surround his half-length figure. They are (left to right) Napoleon, wearing a huge bicorne, who looks up to say 'Ships. Colonies and Commerce'. A man in military uniform, quite unlike Alexander, his back to Napoleon, says: "Russian Vengeance attend John Bull. A fat Dutch burgher puffs smoke towards John, saying, III eternally smoke him". A scowling man in civilian dress with tousled hair says: "Let him tremble at the name of America". Prussia, a handsome military officer in place of the damaged soldier who after Tilsit represented Frederick William III in English caricature, says: "Beware of Prussia". A similar officer (Francis I) says: "Austria will never Pardon him". A Spaniard wearing a cocked hat says: "Spanish Fury overtake him". A scowling face says: "Let him beware of Denmark". John says: "Dont make such a riot you little noisy Brats, all your bustle to me is no more than a storm in a Chamber pot"."--British Museum online catalogue.

"An elderly old-fashioned doctor, holding his gold-headed cane, sits bending forward to inspect the tongue of his agonized patient. The latter, grotesquely obese, sits in a low arm-chair (right) with his lean and hideous wife beside him; a thin grotesque footman, his hair standing on end, stands behind the doctor's chair, leaning towards his master. All three put out their tongues, and all register dismay; the equally ugly doctor gapes in unhelpful concern. The grotesque heads are closely grouped against a high window. A grandfather clock (left) shows that the time is 2.22. A thermometer hangs on the wall."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.

"A gouty 'cit' (right), using an ear-trumpet, sits in an arm-chair facing a delinquent in Highland dress, who bows low. One swathed leg rests on a stool, on the other foot is a slashed shoe.

"An elderly schoolmaster sits by a writing-table, in profile to the right, addressing an old countrywoman who faces him, making a slight curtsey. Behind her (right) are four little boys, two with bags of books slung from the shoulder. The schoolmaster, who wears night-cap, slippers, and buttoned overcoat or dressing-gown, says: "Good woman you are always making complaints against my Scholars, what have they done to offend you now?" She answers: "Please your Honors Worship they followd me up and down--and said one to another--At her!--beat her! damn her!--pelt her!-- and a great deal more that I do not recollect". The leader of the boys, bowing, cap in hand, says: "Indeed Sir, we were only repeating our Greek Alphabet, in order to get quite perfect--what the Old Woman heard was only Alpha--Beta-- Gamma--Delta--and so on to the conclusion". The boys' expressions indicate a successful conspiracy."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state.

"A man sells rabbits at the door of a corner-house (right); an ugly old woman sniffs at a rabbit, saying, "Sweet indeed why it smells Quite Strong"; a pretty young maidservant stands beside her. The man answers: "Yes Ma'am and so would you were you held in the same position". He holds the rabbits slung to the ends of a pole held across his shoulder, with another bunch in his left hand. A dog bites at the rabbits behind the man's back to the amusement of a chimney-sweep's boy (left), who passes by, bent under his bag of soot. The houses on the opposite side of the cobbled street are old-fashioned, gabled, and irregular; against one (left) is a bulk or stall inscribed 'Coblers Work Done here', the cobbler leans out to talk to a woman. Next is the sign of 'The Flowerpot'."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Six scenes arranged in two rows, divided by lines, each with a caption, and inscriptions above the design. The figures have large heads, broadly caricatured, in the manner of Woodward's Lilliputian designs, cf. British Museum Satires No. 9635, &c. [1] 'Conscience'. A fat florid woman gesticulates wildly, watched by a sour-looking man. They say: "Oh Im Undone! Im Undone!" and "Then I wish you would undo me--for they have fined me five Shillings for my bit of fun." [2] 'An Airing'. A fashionably dressed and grotesque couple walk arm-in-arm, registering anger. She says: "Now let us pretend to walk out as if nothing was the matter." He says, registering anguish, "Oh what a prize in the Lottery." [3] 'Alarm'. A woman holds a man on her knee. He says, registering dismay, "But if Mr Spriggins should come home what should we do then." She answers, calculatingly amorous: "Be not alarmed sweet Lily of the Valley." [4] 'A Walk to the Shubbery' [sic]. A not uncomely woman, holding up a fan, leads a hideous man towards a shrubbery. He says: "Let me lead you lovely fair one--Nothing loath." She answers: "Oh spare my Blushes." [5] 'A scene in a Stone Coffin'. A couple embrace in a stone coffin beside which lie a skull and bones. She says: "O Dear o dear if the Gostesses should come." He answers: D--n the Gostesses." (An Irish scandal of 1784, see British Museum Satires No. 6699, &c.) [6] 'Observation'. An old man wearing a night-cap and huge spectacles stands with bent knees gazing through a doorway. He says: "Mercy on me, what do I see--well a pair of spectacles is tantamount to two Witnesses"."--British Museum online catalogue.
