"The Duke of York and Wardle in a rowing boat, 'The Clarke Cutter', with Mrs Clarke, barebreasted, as a figurehead, rowing to right on a rough sea, the 'Sea of Disapprobation', tossed by the 'Storm of Public Opinion', from which they are fleeing; the boat is lettered 'Honi soit qui mal y pense' and is stashed with papers, lettered 'Love letters / Mrs. Clarkes Establishment / Cobbetts Hum-bugs / Bills for Furniture'. Behind the figure of Mrs Clarke, a 'Gold Vase' and bags lettered 'Popularity / Votes of thanks'. At right are gathering fish, 'Gudgeons', and perhaps a seal, identified variously as 'Wright / Sandon / Clavering / O Meira [?]'. The duke says, 'Pull on - pull on Mess-mate here is a devil of a storm coming on - little did I think I should row in the same Boat with you.' Wardle replies, 'Would it not be the best way to throw the cargo overboard brother Tug?'"--British Museum online catalogue.

"A crowded turbulent scene in the market square, Norwich. In the foreground, on trestles, is the carcass of a bull which two butchers are cutting up. Men struggle or clamour for fragments, or gnaw and fight over bones. On the right a huge cask has been broached; women fill pitchers and pails; one lies senseless. In the background a dense crowd is in procession, backed by the houses of the city; a bonfire burns unattended. The cheering crowd moves from right to Ieft, following banners, one inscribed 'Downfall of the Tyrant', and an effigy of Napoleon raised high on a pole and surrounded by pikes."--British Museum online catalogue.

"The Duke of York (right), blowing a horn, sits in the boot of a coach driven by a lawyer, probably William Adam (left), who says: I thought we should bring him through. On the roof is a bush supporting a placard: Acquitted Glorious Majority of 82. Inside the coach are three lawyers, as in British Museum Satires No. 11269, who are not characterized. The coach is surrounded by a cheering mob. Mrs. Clarke, a termagant with streaming hair, holds up clenched fists towards the Duke. Next her is a fat parson, who says: I always said he was Innocent. A man shouts Huzza Glorias News for Old England. Next him is a bearded Jew in a long gown with a sack on his shoulder inscribed Left of Regimentals. A man shouts: That's right-go it my Darling [cf.
