"Napoleon (left) and Joseph sit side by side on low seats or stools, both with a hand on each knee. They have large, elongated heads broadly caricatured (as in British Museum Satires No. 10604, &c.) and look sideways at each other with drawn-down mouths and wrinkled foreheads. Napoleon is in uniform, wearing a feathered bicorne; Joseph wears a crown with Spanish dress, ermine-trimmed robe, and the order of the Golden Fleece. His seat is, very inconspicuously, a commode. At his feet is a sceptre with a scroll inscribed 'Servata Fides Cineri'. Napoleon says: "A pretty piece of Business we have made of it Brother Joe." Joseph: "I always told you Nap, what would come of makeing too free with the Spaniards.""--British Museum online catalogue

"A squalid domestic interior: the Prince of Wales (right) and Mrs. Fitzherbert (left) sit facing each other on each side of an open fireplace. A calf's head suspended from a string roasts before the fire. She mends a pair of breeches which he has taken off; on the breeches and on his left leg the word 'Honi' is conspicuous. He is out at elbows though fashionably dressed. Next to Mrs. Fitzherbert and on the extreme left is an infant in a wicker cradle, on rockers; the Prince negligently holds a string attached to the cradle. On the wall is a ballad: 'A Begging We will go &c.' The Prince of Wales' feathers also decorate the wall. On the extreme right is a small table, scantily laid for one. Weltje kneels beside it, unpacking a basket of potatoes. He looks round at George Hanger who stands behind the table in profile to the left holding a mug."--British Museum online catalogue

"The left and wider portion of the design represents 'England', the right portion 'France'; two posts and the corners of two buildings meet along the dividing line. From each post a horizontal beam projects to support a signboard, in each case that of a crown. In England this is in place, and has the inscription 'Good Entertainment for Man & Horse'; two Frenchmen standing on the opposite side are pulling at the English sign with ropes. They stand on the sign of the (French) crown which has already been cut down. They are assisted by Tom Paine who sits astride the horizontal bar to saw it through, but leaves his saw in the wood to stare in terror at a large bill, posted on the house from which the sign projects, and inscribed: 'Association for preserving Liberty & Property against Republicans and Levellers Resolved. . .

He is dressed in a slovenly manner and from his pocket protrude 'D Priestley Sermon' (see British Museum Satires No. 7887, &c.) and 'Rights of Man' (see British Museum Satires Nos. 7867, 8137, &c). On the ground, and opposite the door of the Crown Inn, stand a sailor (left) and a soldier (right) who clasp hands; the sailor waves his hat, crying, "for our King and"; the soldier, who holds a musket, the butt end resting on the ground, adds "Country". Against the door is pasted a bill headed 'Proclamation' (see British Museum Satires No. 8095), and ending 'God save the King'. The rays of the sun dispel some dark clouds which surround Paine. In the background is a castle, flying a British flag, and the masts of ships. In front of them is a wall on which stands a small defiant British Lion. In France the sky is covered with heavy clouds. On the building are three large placards: [1] 'Liberté & Egalité Ca ira', [2] 'Mr Fox's Speech to the Vig Club Anglois', [3] 'Memorial of Cit Thos Paine to the Nation[al] Conven[tion]'. Beside the two men who pull at the English crown is a third Frenchman, a ragged sansculotte, who holds a pike on which is a head; he stands astride a recently decapitated body, shouting, "Vive la Nation." Behind him are the branches of a bare tree, inscribed 'L'arbre de la Liberte', from which hangs the body of a monk."--British Museum online catalogue

"Officers promenade, swaggering selfconsciously; three couples are arm-in-arm. One pair, one of whom is a lancer with a moustache, arrogantly stare at a taller and more dignified Life Guards officer wearing a huge curling plume on the crest of his helmet. All have small high waists with belts or sashes, bulging breasts, high collars, and stocks, narrow and sometimes tiny coat-tails, tight sleeves, high padded shoulders; usually a bush of hair projects from a fantastic shako or helmet. The two Life Guards officers have boots, wide at the top, reaching to the thigh. Two officers wear fantastically large plumed shakos. An officer in back view, (?) the Duke of York, wears the plumed hat of a field-marshal, and is arm-in-arm with a very tall thin officer"--British Museum online catalogue, description of S.W.

An officer with a high plumed hat and in the uniform of the St. James's volunteer sits on thin, tired-looking horse in a parade ground. He holds only one of the horse's reins and a drawn sabre over his right shoulder. Despite his attire, his demeanour is unmilitary, his posture and facial expression languid. A crowd of people watch from a pavilion in the background on the left and from behind a paling on the right. The scene is a reference to the presentation of colours by the Duchess of York to the St. James Volunteers on 5 July; the colonel was Baron Amherst

"Two designs, side by side, each with a second title in the upper border: [1] 'Scene, in the Island of Jersey.' Wellington, in uniform, sits on a sofa beside Lady Jersey, addressing her, hand on heart: 'And will your Ladyship ever remain cruel, & insensible to emotions which You alone can excite?' She holds a cross attached to a rosary, and looks at him over her shoulder, aloof, but coyly persuasive: 'Oh you flatterer! Every body knows your devotion to Woods & Forests: therefor don't talk to me of Love, false man! my heart bleeds only for my persecuted friends of the true Church in Ireland. You are the only man in Christendom who is able to emancipate them. Grant me this favor, dearest! most illustrious hero and then perhaps--I could - - - -'. She wears a large hat of puffed-out silk over short ringlets; her dress has huge gigot sleeves. [2] 'Scene in the Duchy of Lancaster.' Mrs. Arbuthnot, pretty, décolletée, and jewelled, sits on a sofa with her back to the door, her right hand on her heart. Wellington, cloaked, booted, and spurred, stands in the doorway. She: 'Was that his knock? or is the false man a Jesuit in Love too?--Oh no although he spends his mornings in her boudoir--he loves her not--she cannot touch his cold heart--she too cares not for him but to serve her politics--& for that she assails his vanit--his weak side, on which I first attacked him--yes! his vanity! his passions!--these are the points for me to work at!--heart he has none.' The 'PP' of the signature points to an inscription in the upper margin: 'I'm sorry to intrude, but some dirty Rogue--has lately been copying my Caricatuers--robbing us of our Ideas & Just profit--may I ask of my Friends not to purchase unless they see the Publisher T McLeans name at the Bottom all others are Copies--P Pry.'
