"A bogus wizard stands raising his wand while a grotesque figure, in answer, snorting fire, emerges in clouds of smoke from a rectangular aperture in the floor (left), dagger in one hand, cup of 'poison' in the other. The dupe, an ugly man in old-fashioned dress, watches terror-struck, while a woman picks his pocket from behind a curtain. A magic circle, with toad, skull, &c, a cat, a book with cabalistic signs, a stuffed crocodile suspended from the ceiling, give the required atmosphere."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A design in two equal compartments placed side by side. A fat Frenchman (left) sits at a round table in profile to the right, knife and fork in hand, grinning delightedly at a large joint of beef flanked by a vast loaf and a decanter. He wears an enormous cocked hat, Hessian boots, and a coat of quasi-military cut. He says: "Ah What Monsieur Jack Bull you going to starve me!!!" Beside him sits his greyhound, bulgingly replete. From the table hangs a scroll: 'Beef Mutton Veal [bracketed] 002, loaf 005, Plenty'. The table has a cloth, the floor is carpeted. John Bull (right), thin and almost bald, his baggy face showing traces of former tet, sits in profile to the left, with clasped hands, regarding with resigned disgust a small oblong table, on which are a plate of fish (herring and sprats), a small oar, and a meagre dish of potatoes. His ragged coat is that of a once prosperous citizen. He says: "who would have thought it!" From the table hangs a scroll headed 'Pd: Beef 1s, Mutton 10 1/2, Veal 1[s], Butter 1. 6, loaf 1. 9 Potatoes 3d' A pitcher of water stands on the boarded floor. Beside him his emaciated bulldog lies moribund. On the wall in each compartment is a large print: [left] 'A French man in 1788', a copy, reversed of the Frenchman in British Museum Satires No. 5612, Gillray's 'Politeness' (see frontispiece, vol. v); a thin fop taking snuff, and saying over his shoulder (to John Bull), "Vous etes une Bete". The lean greyhound behind his chair sniffs other nervously towards John's mastiff; frogs hang on the wall, [right] A copy of the other part of British Museum Satires No. 5612: 'John Bull in 1788', John sits scowling contemptuously over his (right) shoulder at the Frenchman, saying, "you be d------d". A huge joint hangs on the wall."--British Museum online catalogue
