George III stands before his throne, face hidden behind a pillar, his sceptre raised over head ready to strike Grenville as his kicks him. Other members of the ministry flee in confusion and terror, some rubbing their posteriors to show that they too have been kicked. A label floats from the King: What! What! bring in the Papists! O you cunning Jesuits you! What you thought I was like little Boney & would turn Turk or anything? ... Grenville has lost hold of a scroll on which can be read: Catholic Bill for bringing the Papists into power & supporting the Broad bottom Jesuits in their places for securing the Papists in commanding of the Army & Navy & all the Public offices ...

"George IV sits fishing under a little pavilion; his rod is a sceptre, larger than that in Britis Museum Satires No. 15126. He has hooked a frog, which Lady Conyngham, kneeling beside him, is about to scoop with a landing-net. She says: Oh what a beautifull fish! I think its something of the Gudgeon kind, but a most Noble one. A large kingfisher stands on the opposite bank watching them. The King sits on an ornate stool, resting a gouty leg on a smaller one. He wears a bell-shaped top-hat, the plain high-collared coat of recent portraits with knee-breeches. Beside him are creel and bait-box. The pavilion is merely an ornate canopy for his stool, decorated with onion domes like that of the Pavilion, bells, and a crown. Lady Conyngham wears a décolletée dress with long gloves, and roses in her hair. Behind is a realistic view of the Cottage, with a peacock in front of it, and Windsor Castle."--British Museum online catalogue

"Two sailors ride (right to left) a velocipede (see No. 13399) with two saddles on the elongated bar. At the back is a seat for two passengers in which are two gaily dressed women. The first sailor says over his shoulder: "D--n it Jack this is rare sailing without a wind!" The front wheel collides with a dandy (left), who has dropped his steering-bar (which has dropped to the ground) and is about to fall off. Jack answers: "A very pretty invention Tom! D--n it we shall run down the Dandy!" The dandy (cf. No. 13029) shouts: "Curse you you tarpaulins Wy don't you mind how you steer." One of the women holds a bottle and glass; she looks back saying: "Vy Poll this beats the Dilly [diligence]!! Vy Poll it' s capsized!!" Poll sits back with folded arms, one leg resting on the second sailor's shoulder. She answers: "And we have capsized a Dandy!!" In the background (right) a mail-coach lies on its side; men, women, and luggage from the outside are on the ground; an inside passenger tries to climb from the window."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A burlesque election scene, most of the figures having large grotesque heads, similar to those in British Museum Satires Nos. 10604, 10663. On the right a corner of the hustings is indicated by a rail behind which stand the candidate and three of his supporters. One of the latter, next the silent candidate, addresses the people below: "I have now Gentlemen the honor to propose to you my friend next me Solomon Sheepface Esqr of Sheepface Hall, you are all well acquainted with his disposition, he is so harmless he would not hurt a Worm, - once elected he will say Aye or No just as the occasion may require." The candidate has an expression of bewildered melancholy. Five men form the audience, one shouts "No Sheepface"; another waves his hat, shouting, "Sheepface for ever Huzza". On the left two men gaze at a large election poster on a wall: 'To the Worthy and Independent Electors of the Borough of Long Heads Gentlemen your Votes and Interest in favor of Solomon Sheepface'. A little boy picks the pocket of one of the gazers. In the middle a ragged ballad-seller bawls to an audience of three boys: 'The same is entitled and called No Bribery, a new Song, to an Old tune.' In the background a crowd is faintly indicated."--British Museum online catalogue
