"An elderly 'cit' sleeps in a low, upright chair, leaning back till his profile faces the ceiling. His hands are clasped over his chest, his wig dangles from his coat-collar, and he puffs from tightly shut lips. The room is bare with a boarded floor. On a round table are a jug and glass, and the sleeper's pipe lying on 'Cobbett's Political Register'."--British Museum online catalogue.

"The Duke of Bedford stands in a stockyard in profile to the left, the fingers of his right hand dug into the flank of an immensely fat ox. He is not caricatured and is plainly dressed, wearing a round hat and heavy top-boots, holding a stock-whip. He says: "Ah, here's your sort! - here's your Nine-Inch Fat my boys! "O how he will cut up! (as my old friend Burke said!) - "how he will Tallow in the cawl and on the Kidneys!" Behind are three corn-stacks, trees, two other oxen, some very fat sheep (right). In the foreground are geese (left), and a pig (right) eating from a heap of carrots and turnips."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A staff dinner in a large open tent. At the head of the table the Duke of York carouses; a fat Flemish woman seated on his knee plays with his sword; he raises a full glass, looking down at the woman. He is seated on a drum, his left foot rests on a tattered British flag, beside which lies a bundle of muskets. On the table is a punchbowl ornamented with the royal arms. On one side (next the Duke) sits the Prince of Orange, a fat and stolid Dutch officer smoking a pipe and holding a small tankard. Facing him is a savage-looking (?) Austrian officer wearing a cap; his drawn sabre is on the table, he drinks wine voraciously from a bottle, his left arm round the waist of a stout Flemish woman seated beside him on the cannon which forms a seat; she raises her glass, holding a smoking pipe. Next the Dutchman a British officer and a fat Flemish woman are kissing. Behind the seated officers stand bandsmen wearing cocked hats and blowing wind instruments with great energy; a negro clashes his cymbals behind the Duke. On the extreme right two files of gaunt and emaciated British foot-guards advance behind the Duke carrying wine-bottles, glasses, and a punch-bowl, also with the royal arms. Empty bottles are stacked under the table. Behind (left), a file of conical tents recedes in perspective; the three flags which fly from them are British, Austrian, and Hanoverian. Dutch and Austrian officers are caricatured, but not the Duke, who is handsome and florid. The Flemish women with their wide straw hats are studies of type and costume."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Four ladies sit at a round table, two old and ugly, the others young and comely. The ugliest (left) peers through spectacles at a newspaper, screaming, "Mercy on us here is news!! They write from Hanover that when Boney part took possession of that country, he ravish'd all the Women!!" The other, holding up her fan, exclaims: "O! the Wretch". The two younger ladies (right) turn to each other, saying, "It is very true Ma'am it is only a word and a blow with him-Your Honour or your property", and "Well Ma'am if he should come here, at all events I will take care of my property".

"A British sailor, firmly planted astride the globe, is severely punishing Bonaparte, who, with one knee precariously on 'Turk[ey]' (Egypt), is about to fall backwards into space. Bonaparte wears a huge cocked hat, is naked from the waist, but wears sleeve-ruffles, according to the old gibe on the beggarly French fop. He is much emaciated, and gashed with wounds; 'Nelson' is inscribed on his solar plexus. Blood gushes from his nose. Jack Tar's right leg stretches across central Europe, the toe supported on 'Malta'. Clouds form a background."--British Museum online catalogue.
