- "Burke sleeps in a half-reclining position, his arms folded, legs extended, spectacles pushed up on his forehead. On a pedestal above his head (right) is a bust inscribed 'Mahomet', a fierce-looking, mustachioed man. A hanging lamp burns before it. On the right is Burke's reverie or dream: A Turk sits cross-legged on a divan holding out his arms eagerly to a young girl who is being brought to him by his mother, an elderly woman, who says, grinning, "I have procured another Lamb for my Lord"; the girl turns away with a gesture of distress. Above the Turk's head is an open book inscribed 'Koran'. Beside Burke in the foreground (right) is propped an open book inscribed: 'And I have observed that the greatest Degree of Respect is paid to Women of Quality in the East and that the strongest Instances of Maternal Affection & filial Duty prevail there. Note Begum - The Viziers Mother frequently procures one of the most beautiful Virgins whom she adorns with Pearls and precious stones and brings to the Vizier whom she calls her Lion and desires him to take her to his Arms, this he most religiously performs and she is afterwards consig[ned] to the Zenana with 200 others whom he never sees a second Time.'"--British Museum online catalogue

- "Burke (three quarter length) as a showman bends over his magic lantern in profile to the right. In the upper part of the design is a draped sheet on which are the objects thrown by the lantern. These are (left to right): [1] an oddly shaped elephant chained to a stake inscribed 'A Benares Flea'. [2] Three mountains piled one upon the other, inscribed respectively, 'Ossa', 'Pelion', 'Olympus'; the whole is 'A Begum Wart'. [3] Four large eyes dripping tears float half-submerged in the water they have produced, inscribed, 'Begums Tears'. [4] A whale spouting is 'An Ouzle'. From the right side of the magic lantern the end of a slide (or slider, cf. British Museum Satires No. 6287) emerges; on it is an oriental seated cross-legged and smoking. Next the lantern (right) are the heads and shoulders of two spectators in back view who are applauding; one says "finely imagined"; the other, "poor Ladies they have cried their Eyes out". The 'profil perdu' of Lord Derby appears on the extreme right, saying, "very like an Ouzle [weasel]. "Polonius"" ['Hamlet', III. ii.]."--British Museum online catalogue

- "Burke dressed as a Roman senator, but wearing his own wig, stands, his head turned in profile to the left towards Hastings, whom he is denouncing; his right arm is raised holding up a paper inscribed 'Articles of Impe[achme]nt'. With his left arm he extends his cloak to shelter a seated figure on the right, who covers his face with his hands, and at whose feet lie a noose of rope and an open book, 'Cash Dr' and 'Cash C[r]' with ruled '£ s. d.' columns, the entries on the credit side being erased. Hastings, on the extreme left, is in oriental dress, his face turned aside, his hands held out as if protesting his innocence. In the air, hurled by Burke, are two papers: 'Treaty of Peace with the Mahrattas' and the portrait of an oriental, his hands bound, inscribed 'Cheyt Sing'."--British Museum online catalogue

- "The managers of the impeachment of Hastings advance (left to right), led by Cornwall the Speaker who, raising his hat, holds out a roll, 'Articles of Impeachment', to Thurlow. Only the point of the Chancellor's hat and his hands, one holding the bag of the Great Seal, are visible on the extreme right. Burke, frowning fiercely, is next Cornwall. Immediately behind him is Francis, his left hand on Burke's shoulder, fixing Thurlow with a baleful glare; under his right arm is a large rolled document inscribed 'Evidence of Accusation'. Next are Fox and Sheridan facing each other, Sheridan in back view. Behind are Sir James Erskine with an imbecile expression (cf. British Museum Satires No. 7151), and John Anstruther (M.P. for Fifeshire boroughs) whose back is turned to Erskine. On the extreme left is Windham facing Andrew St. John. Behind them, seemingly taller than the others, and wearing a hat, is Courtenay."--British Museum online catalogue
