"Two watchmen holding up lanterns on poles stand one on each side of the door of Mrs. Clarke's house in 'Gloucester Place' [see British Museum Satires No. 11222]. Between them stands a man holding a pole, supporting a board: 'Beware of Bad Houses And Naughty Women'. This obstructs access to the house, where a couple are seen through a window embracing each other (right). On the left an officer and a parson who have been approaching, retreat in dismay. On the right a burly termagant clenches her fists. One of the new gas-lamps, see British Museum Satires No. 10798, &c, projects from the corner of the house, its globe inscribed 'Light & Heat Company'."--British Museum online catalogue.

"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.
