"The White Horse of Hanover (the King) kicks violently; he has thrown off members of the Ministry who lie under his heels, while Howick and Grenville are about to fall from the saddle; the reins have broken. On the horse's shoulder is the star of the Garter. Grenville, on the hind-quarters, his peer's robe floating behind him, holds the (torn) 'Catholic Bil[l]', while he clutches the slipping Howick. In the middle distance (l.) John Bull, a yokel in a smock, watches delightedly, saying, "Dang it! he has kicked um off at last zure enough! Aye, Aye, it was that cursed Catholic Bill tickled his rightump and set him a Kicking." Sidmouth lies in front of the animal, holding up his arm; he clutches a clyster-pipe (cf. BMSat 9849). The others (l. to r.) are Petty and Erskine in their gowns; the former clutches Howick's r. ankle, dragging him down; the latter sits on a cushion inscribed '4.000 Pr Anm' [see BMSat 10714.] He says: "I've had a cursed short ride! and if it had not been for this little cushion I should have a confounded thump on my Rump." Ellenborough tries to protect his head from the horse's heels. Sheridan, as Harlequin (see BMSat 9916), sprawls on the ground, bleeding at the nose. Moira runs off, as does Temple, also with a bleeding nose; he says: "Curse that Stone I've broke my Nose against it." Before him is a large piece of 'Portland Stone' [see BMSat 10718, &c]; behind him is his spectacled father, Buckingham. On the extreme right. are Windham and Lauderdale, wearing a plaid."--British Museum online catalogue

"Heading to a song printed below the (printed) title: 'Sung with great Applause by Mr. Grimaldi, in the popular Pantomime of "Harlequin Whittington"'. Grimaldi, as an English tourist in Paris, his face made up as a clown, stands full-face, left arm extended towards Paris (right): houses and spires behind a wall with an arch intended for the Arc de Triomphe. He wears a skull-cap decorated with little rosettes, with a frogged and braided overcoat (shorter than was fashionable) with deep fur cuffs and collar; flat (scarlet) slippers and clocked stockings. He holds an absurdly tall top-hat. The second of five verses: Jockies, Jews, and Parlez-vous Courtezans and Quakers, Players, Peers and Auctioneers, Parsons, Undertakers. Modish airs from Wapping-stairs, Wit from Norton Falgate, Bagatelle from Clerkenwell, And elegance from Aldgate. [Refrain] London now is out of Town Who in England Tarries ? Who can bear to linger there, When all the world's in Paris?"--British Museum online catalogue
