- "Queen Caroline, stout and flamboyant, stands on the balcony over the porch of Wood's house in South Audley Street, looking down complacently with folded arms at the cheering crowd which fills the street. Alderman Wood stands cringingly behind her. A boy sits on a lamp-bracket, looking up, saying, "I've got a good place Jack I can see the whole of her." A sailor climbs one pillar of the porch, a little chimney-sweep swarms up the other. A man on horseback says: "Come down you Smutty." Another man shouts: "Clap my Boy! Clap her!!" A boy with newspapers inscribed 'Times', bawls: "Never Vas sich Times as these" [a catch-phrase]; cf. British Museum Satires No. 13729. The street is densely packed; spectators wave from the opposite windows and balcony. In the distance is a church, on the roof of which are spectators; one looks through a telescope, another asks "Can you see it." On the extreme right a parson on horseback is assailed with mud and brickbats."--British Museum online catalogue

- "Heading to a printed broadside: ... 'New Version', verses printed in two columns below the (printed) title. The Duke of York, with a gauntleted fist, strikes in the face the startled King, who staggers, decanter in hand, saying, "Theres no dependance on the Army." The Duke answers: "Not for you." A supper-table, with decanters, &c., overturns on the right, the King's chair on the left; the chair is decorated with an irradiated wine-glass flanked by bowing Chinese, and, like the table, is fringed by bells. Behind the King are two bottle-holders, the bottles in the shape of a 'Green Bag' [see British Museum Satires No. 13735], and so inscribed; they are Castlereagh and Liverpool, who are backed by Sidmouth and Canning. They say: "Never fear--we are here," and "Never fear." Behind the Duke is the Queen between two ladies; she says: "Fair play's a Jewell Face to Face Truith [sic] will come out." Four of her supporters watch from the left: Wood in his alderman's gown, and holding a 'City Address', says: "A blow has been Struck who feels it?" Burdett, next Hobhouse, and holding a 'West' [minster Address], says: "When Britons strike they strike home." The fourth is a barrister (one of the Queen's legal advisers, not resembling Brougham). The sixth and seventh of ten verses: Said Ca . . tl . . gh I know the Cause, Y . . k's for your 'R .... l Rib', Sire, Your M .... y shall have New Laws, You know we never gib, Sire. Said W . . b . . rce, with face demure, Divorce!...... we'll soon obtain it; Another Consort we'll ensure, His end......Y . . k ne'er shall gain it."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a later edition

- Heading to a printed broadside that begins: "Pity the sorrows of a poor old man, whose worn-out limbs have borne him to your door ..." The King is shown as a haggard beggar, his clothes torn and a pack on his back. He holds out his inverted crown with his left hand, seeking donations; his right hand grasps the cane he is leaning on. The sign post behind him says "To Bradenburg [sic] House" and points to the right, the direction in which the King travels. Brandenburgh House is seen in the background on the right, the Queen looking sternly out the window at the disheveled King. A sign at the gate to the house says "Beware of steel traps and sping [sic] guns." In the left background is a smaller house labeled "The Cottage".

- Abstract:
- "Queen Caroline, dignified and regal, stands with extended right arm facing Lord Hutchinson (identified by Reid as Liverpool), a thin man in court dress who bows low, holding out a large purse inscribed '£50,000'. He looks up at her with a servile and apprehensive grimace, saying: "Abandon your claim to the Throne, Change your Name & the Livery & retire to some distant part of the earth were you may never be seen or heard of any more; & if 50,000£ pr Annm will not satisfy you, what will?" She answers: "Nothing but a Crown!" In her left hand is a paper: 'Lawful Claims'. At her side (right) stands Alderman Wood, noble and stalwart in Roman armour; he holds a sword, whose wavy blade (representing flame) is inscribed 'A Swoard for the Guilty', and a shield: 'A Shield for the Innocent--'. Behind Hutchinson and in back-view stands Brougham in barrister's wig and gown; he holds a broom, and says: "I turn my back on such dirty work as this." The Devil, on the extreme left, clutches his arm, saying: "Well done Broom! you have done your business well." Behind Wood is a ship at anchor, her poop inscribed 'The Wooden walls of Old England'; she flies a Union flag inscribed 'Caroline'."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "An elaborate symbolical clock has a dial on which the hands are represented by the arms of the Queen, who kneels within it. Canning stands within the smaller disk of the pendulum. The dial and pendulum hang from a curved bar supported on two uprights, one (left) representing the forces of the Army and Navy, the Crown and the Church, and the other the Radicals and their pikes. A fat and carbuncled John Bull, much larger in scale than the other figures, and wearing a huge judge's wig, sits astride the dial where it is surmounted by a crown; he holds a paper: 'Chief justice Bull--Jurisdiction--ad Infinitum'. On the rim of the dial: (left) 'King', 'Lords', (right) 'Commons'. The Queen kneels in profile to the right, her left arm pointing to the crown, her right towards the 'Commons'. The supports of the dial are (left) a cornucopia filled with sovereigns, and (right) a giant cap of Liberty, shaped like the cornucopia, from which project the heads of men wearing bonnets-rouges. On the cornucopia are Liverpool, holding out the 'Green Bag', see British Museum Satires No. 13735, Eldon, Sidmouth with his clyster-pipe, and a fourth Minister. On the bonnet rouge stand four of the Queen's supporters, one (apparently Wood) holding out to her a cap of Liberty. A small scene is inset below the dial, flanked by cornucopia and cap of Liberty. The Green Bag lies on a table, across which Castlereagh (left) and Brougham (right), both wearing boxing-gloves, are fighting, the former on the defensive. Each has a second, Brougham's is a second barrister (? Denman). Below this appear seven vertical rods to which the disk of the pendulum is attached. The centre one is 'Unhappy Medium'. On the left, held by cross-bands inscribed 'Golden Argument' and 'Valuable ties', are 'Royal Sunshine', 'Sinecure', and 'Tangible etcetrias'. On the right, held by 'Magnanimity' [tricolour], are 'Quixotism', 'Public Champion', and 'Radical Celebrity'. Canning stands within the disk of the pendulum, both hands held up, looking in gloomy perplexity to the left. He hesitates between the contrasted lures of the pendulum bars. He is standing between a crown and a cap of Liberty. On the left a winged infant flies off with a money-bag, inscribed '1000', saying, "Adieu!" A similar infant (right) proffers a cap of Liberty, saying, "See here Glory waits thee." Above the disk: 'The Uncertainty of all Sublunary Honors'. The design is bordered, left and right, by the two supports of the beam. On the left a jovial sailor and a handsome soldier stand on a base formed of a 'Treasury Iron Chest'. The corresponding figures on the right are two ragged ruffians with linked arms, each holding a spiked bludgeon and a dagger, who stand on a similar chest: 'Pandora's Box'. Flags are draped above the heads of both: the Royal Arms and Union Jack with a crown (left), and a tricolour flag and a (piratical) black flag (right). Above these are (left) a mitre resting on a Bible, crossed swords, and bayonets, supporting a block on which is a crown. On the opposite side are three caps of Liberty, crossed bludgeon and dagger, and pikes, supporting a block on which is yet another cap of Liberty."--British Museum online catalogue
