"The White Horse of Hanover (the King) kicks violently; he has thrown off members of the Ministry who lie under his heels, while Howick and Grenville are about to fall from the saddle; the reins have broken. On the horse's shoulder is the star of the Garter. Grenville, on the hind-quarters, his peer's robe floating behind him, holds the (torn) 'Catholic Bil[l]', while he clutches the slipping Howick. In the middle distance (l.) John Bull, a yokel in a smock, watches delightedly, saying, "Dang it! he has kicked um off at last zure enough! Aye, Aye, it was that cursed Catholic Bill tickled his rightump and set him a Kicking." Sidmouth lies in front of the animal, holding up his arm; he clutches a clyster-pipe (cf. BMSat 9849). The others (l. to r.) are Petty and Erskine in their gowns; the former clutches Howick's r. ankle, dragging him down; the latter sits on a cushion inscribed '4.000 Pr Anm' [see BMSat 10714.] He says: "I've had a cursed short ride! and if it had not been for this little cushion I should have a confounded thump on my Rump." Ellenborough tries to protect his head from the horse's heels. Sheridan, as Harlequin (see BMSat 9916), sprawls on the ground, bleeding at the nose. Moira runs off, as does Temple, also with a bleeding nose; he says: "Curse that Stone I've broke my Nose against it." Before him is a large piece of 'Portland Stone' [see BMSat 10718, &c]; behind him is his spectacled father, Buckingham. On the extreme right. are Windham and Lauderdale, wearing a plaid."--British Museum online catalogue

"A scene on the deck of a man-of-war at the base of a large mast. Two sailors and a naval officer are astonished at the appearance of a burly sailor (right), on his knees at the foot of the mast, one hand on the deck, the other grasping his hip. The two sailors (left) say: "Shiver my top-sails what a tumble! and yet he dont seem much hurt," and "He must have come direct from the top-gallant mast head." The officer asks solicitously: "My good fellow - where the devil did you come from?" The sailor answers: "Please your Honor - I came from the North of Ireland."

"The Russian bear (left), standing on its hindlegs on the edge of a narrow stream, 'The Vistula', holds Napoleon in its forepaws. Talleyrand steps out of the stream on to the further bank (right), blowing a trumpet from which issues a billowing cloud on which he writes a dispatch with a large pen. The upper waters of the stream are inscribed 'The Bug'; a placard on a post in the water is inscribed: 'Hic Jacet - Snug - in the Bug - several thousand of the Great Nation.' The bear says: "Hush a bye! Hush a bye! take it all quietly - you'll soon find yourself as Snug as a Bug in a Rugg". Napoleon, gesticulating wildly towards Talleyrand, says: "Oh D----n the bug. I wish I had never seen it. My Dear Talley - dont tell my faithfull subjects the true state of my Situation - any thing but the truth my Dear Tally. Oh this cursed Russian Bear how close he hug me." Talleyrand, his back to his master, answers, "Leave me alone for a Bulletin." Two clouds issue from his trumpet: the smaller and darker rises: '7,000 Prisoners, 3000 drowned, 12 Eagles taken, 6,000[?] Killed.' The other cloud descends, on it Talleyrand has written, his pen by the final word: 'For Paris Grand Bulletin The august Emperor of the great Nation, informs his faithfull and beloved Subjects, that having performed Wonders on the banks of the Bug. he has now closed a glorious campaign for the season, and retired with Ease and Comfort into Winter Quarters - '. He wears a mitre, bag-wig, a gown over his suit kilted up by a girdle from which swings a rosary and an ink-pot resembling a bowl for holy water. His right leg has a bowed shin, and his shoe is raised on blocks. On the ground by the bear are Napoleon's large bicorne and sword. Behind (left) is part of the façade of a 'State Prison', surmounted by a Russian Eagle, and inscribed 'Prisoners of War.' The races of French prisoners are pressed against heavily barred windows. In the background is a large encampment."--British Museum online catalogue

"Title-page; the title is engraved across the centre of the page. Above are two festoons of ribbon centred by a bow from which is suspended in a round frame a half length figure of a jester in a fool's cap, and inscribed 'Comic Mirror'. Below it is a loop of ribbon inscribed 'To hold as t'were the Mirror up to Nature. Shakespeare.' One festoon (left), inscribed 'Country Observations on the Caricature Magazine', supports half length figures inspecting bound numbers (or volumes) of the Magazine. A comely woman says: "Come John let me look don't Keep it all to yourself." Two oafish men hold an open book, saying, "Dont be in a hurry well these things be the drollest things ever sent into our Country," and "There be one exactly like our Exciseman." A third man inspects a volume, saying, "I wonder how they think of all these things." The other festoon, 'Town Observations on the Caricature Magazine', supports two men and two women (three-quarter length), ugly but quasi-fashionable, eagerly inspecting the (bound) prints. They say: "It is certainly very amuseing"; "Pray Sir have they commenced the second Volume"; "Just got the first number Ma'am from Mr Teggs." The lower part and sides of the design are flanked by two processions. On the left are 'Whimsical Characters ascending to the Temple of Fame'. Men and women in back view ascend, receding in perspective to a round temple on which Fame blows his trumpet. Those in the foreground are a fat parson, a foppish military officer wearing a huge crescent-shaped cocked hat, a fat 'cit' arm-in-arm with a thin lady. A Highlander walks in front of them. On the left is 'A Grotesque Deputation from the Temple of Momus - returnig [sic] thanks for past favors and soliciting future patronage.' These are Lilliputian figures (cf. British Museum Satire No. 9635, &c.) with large grotesque heads of men and women, all grinning, who descend from a temple on which straddles Momus. Between the two processions and forming a tail-piece is 'The Genius of Caricature opening the Second Volume.' A man with a large grinning face, faun's ears, and butterfly wings, wearing a Harlequin suit, and perhaps a fantastic representation of Tegg, see British Museum Satire No. 11133, sprawls on the ground holding an open volume: 'Caricature Magazine Vol 2d.' His elbow rests on 'Caricature Magazine, Vol. 1.' Beside him are (left) papers inscribed 'Bulls', 'Anecdotes', 'Jests', 'Puns', 'Bon Mot[s]', and (right) separate prints."--British Museum online catalogue

"Portland (r.), as a statue, with blank eyes sits stiffly in an armchair formed of rectangular stone blocks. From his neck hangs a placard: 'Repaird and Whitewash'd in the Year 1807'. He has bony knees with thick gouty legs. On the ground beside him are bulky papers docketed: 'Places for Life Pension' and 'Honors Reward'. John Bull, an elderly 'cit' holding a thick stick, gapes at him through spectacles, saying, "I really thought this Statue was gone to decay a long time ago!! - oh - ho- Repair'd and White Wash'd I see - as that is the case - I am sure there is something new m the Wind it is time for me to button up my Pocketts!"
