- Abstract:
- "George IV sits on the throne with Caroline beside him; his arm is round her shoulders and he turns to her to say: "(He that findeth a wife findeth good.) My dear Q***n, If constancy & love can make any amends for my past follies, I still may hope of a Reconciliation, do not go abroad again, to stay at home, is a great sign of the loyalty of marriage. ''Beneath the glitt'ring weight of crowns he'd groan", "Unless the genial bed relieve the throne." You may depend on it, I have turn'd up all those wanton Devils, I am sick of fat, I think no better of them than M. Raggou's Mistress who was whore to the whole troop. "A worthy Woman, saith Solomon is a Crown to her Husband!" He is caricatured, wearing royal robes and ruff. The Queen, who wears a small crown and royal robes, is handsome, affectionate, and unrecognizable. Her foot is on the royal footstool, and the crown is beside her. Leaning against the dais is an open book: 'Proverbs. She will do him good not evil all the days of her Life.' In the foreground (right) lies a portfolio of 'Bought up Caricatures'. On a projecting print is 'Marks fect', which serves as signature. The King's left arm is extended towards a crowd of angry and weeping women who are in a landscape which serves as background. Five in the forefront wear coronets. These say: "Oh! the wicked deceiver he shall know that women are either Angels or Devils"; "Oh! the Jerry Sneak" [from Foote's 'Mayor of Garratt']; "Let me come past, let me come past I'm going to drown'd myself"; "I shall hang myself"; "I wont go home to the Old Stick of my husband he can do nothing for me"; "Who would have thougt [sic] it after I experienced so much of his favour." One of the undifferentiated crowd says: "I shall go to the Magdalen" [asylum]. In the background are tiny figures: on the left a woman hangs from the branch of a rotten tree, above water in which one woman is almost submerged; another is about to plunge in, while a third runs towards it. On a hill on the right six lean and antlered men wearing court-suits dance holding hands; one says: "Dance away my Bucks, we shall have all our Ribs returned.""--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "A kitchen scene [with a satire based on the fable of the "catspaw"]. A monkey with Wood's head squats beside a plump cat with the head in profile of Queen Caroline. She sits gazing at the fire with an eagerly expectant smile. He puts his left hand on her shoulder and takes her right paw which is supported on his knee, looking fixedly at her with greedy expectation. Between the bars of the grate are four chestnuts like large potatoes. These are inscribed respectively: 'Privileges', 'Rights', 'Liturgy', 'St Catherines'. Beside the grate and attached to a chain is a 'Kettle of Fish'. Behind the cat is a big trap with steel teeth inscribed '50 000 per Annum'. Behind it is a dresser, neatly arranged above a cupboard inscribed 'Lately from St Omers' [see British Museum Satires no. 13730]. On the dresser are a teapot and butterdish, each with a bust portrait of Bergami, and two cups, inscribed 'BB'. There are also pans inscribed 'Hash' and 'Stew', a 'Tinder' box and bottle of 'Brim-Stone'. On the chimneypiece, with other utensils, is a box of 'Matches'."--British Museum online catalogue

- Caricature with Queen Caroline (left) as Lady Macbeth in the mad scene, standing in the street before two shops; she holds a candlestick raised in her right hand as she holds out her dress with her left hand, looking down horror at her skirt which is decorated with three panels with images of men and labeled "Man B", "Austi", "Sapio", "Mat ...", and "Bat". The initials "C.B" are embroidered on the trim of her knickers. Standing to her right is an astonished John Bull who holds his hat in front of his face, arm extended in horror. The shop on the left is identified by a sign below second story windows with broken glass: Wholesale Dealer in Brass Forges, Ranges, &c N.B. Odd jobs in general. The street level is shuttered, its doors covered in graffiti: Gone away, Gone abroad, Empty, M.T. The one door has a knocker in the shape of a ram's head. John Bull stands before the second door which stands open as if he has just emerged. The windows are curtained and the building well maintained. The large sign above reads "Time & Common-Sense Occulists. N.B. Films expeditiously removed &c.
