Abstract:
"The Bishop of Durham strides across the footlights on to the stage, his left foot on the shoulder of one of the orchestra below. He wears a mitre and holds his crosier in both hands, as if to attack four danseuses holding garlands of roses who pirouette derisively. He says: "Avaunt the Satan, I fear the not assume whatever shape or form thou wilt I am determined to lay the thou black Fiend." The heads of some of the orchestra appear behind his left leg. A profile head on the extreme left says "Thats right down with them". Against the wall (left) are a carved satyr and a playbill: 'The Divil of a Lover - Hes much tlame' [to blame] and 'Peeping Tom' (by O'Keefe, 1784). The first was a musical farce played once only on 17 Mar. 1798, the second was first played on 13 Feb. 1798. Genest, vii. 360, 361."--British Museum online catalogue

"A sailor with a long pigtail, holding a cudgel, clumsily mounts a horse on the off side, putting his left. foot in the stirrup. An ostler with a broom, standing by the open stable-door, laughs at him, saying, "Jack you dont mount the Horse the right way - but it is sailor like to look one way and row another." Jack scowls over his left. shoulder to answer: "I dont mount this here horse the right way!! you lubberly swab you dont know the way I'm a going." A hunch-backed little stable-boy, wearing top-boots far too large for him, holds the horse's head, grinning delightedly. There is a landscape background with a distant village (left). A signpost points 'To Leather-head'."--British Museum online catalogue

"John Bull, a sturdy citizen, displays to the Tsar who is a crowned bear on its hind-legs (left), an enormous open book: 'John Bulls Journal'. This rests on the ground, and reaches to John's chest; he points to the right.-hand page: 'The Great the Magnanimous Catherine of Russia seized upon One third of the Kingdom of Poland and Kept it to herself - These Peaceful Danes Seiz'd on the City of Hamburgh.' He says: "So you say Master Bruin, that my visit to Denmark has no parallel in History- do be so good as to turn your spectacles to this page and refresh Your Memory." The bear peers gloomily through huge spectacles at the page. Round his neck is a collar: 'This Bear belongs to Napoleo[n]'."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Irishmen in volunteer uniform are mounted on galloping bulls; each faces the animal's tail. They hold shillelaghs, wear pouches inscribed 'Potatoes', and fling potatoes towards a small band of ragged sansculottes (right) from whom they are galloping away. These Frenchmen advance, firing muskets; the most prominent fires a cannon. The foremost volunteer, that is, the farthest from the enemy, shouts: "Stop! Stop! ye Scoundrils we shall Soon be after coming up wit ye." The second: "By Jasus if we follow them up at this rate we shall soon see the Tieves out of sight." The third: "Hubbubboo! how the Rogues run their's no overtaking them." The bulls are making for a chasm (left) into which one in the middle distance leaps. In the background are some who have reached comparative safety, but continue to hurl potatoes."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
