"Addington (right) bleeds John Bull, who sits on a commode, exhausted and faint, supported by Hawkesbury. Addington, very erect, wears his gown, and says: "Courage John Bull - Courage!!!" Hawkesbury, drooping and melancholy, repeats "Courage Johnny." John's arm is tightly bound above the incision by a tricolour bandage, a tricolour ribbon is tied round his tousled head. A diminutive Napoleon (right) with a martial stride and drawn sabre holds out his cocked hat to catch the blood that spurts from John's arm; this is inscribed: 'West Indies', 'Cape of Good Hope', 'Malta' [in large letters, see BMSat 9997, &c], 'Ceylon'. A little boy, standing behind Addington and clutching his gown, holds out his hat, inscribed 'Clerk [of the] Pells', to catch a stream of blood inscribed '£3,000 Pr Annum'; he echoes 'Courage'. On the left stand Fox and Sheridan proffering bowls of 'Warm Water'; both say "Courage". Fox has swollen legs and holds a tea-kettle, his expression is that of calculating reserve; Sheridan bends forward with eager greed. John is a countryman wearing wrinkled gaiters. His commode is inscribed 'Reservoir for the Clyster-pipe Family' [the Addingtons]. Beside him lie his (damaged) hat and stick, with a torn paper: 'Rule Britannia an old Song'."--British Museum online catalogue.

In a crowded tavern before a large roaring fire, Dr. Syntax sits on a bench smoking his pipe as he engages in debate with three companions. A man leans over the back of the bench and blows a large cloud of smoke into the back of Dr. Syntax's head. The room is filled with military personnel who frolic and flirt with pretty girls; the barmaid stands at the bar pouring wine. Everyone has a full glass at hand. The signs on either side of a large clock read "Real Yorkshie stinco" and "No trust here".

"In the foreground a ragged couple superintend the throwing of sticks at objects poised (or spiked) on pegs. The very fat woman bawls, holding sticks, and extends a greedy palm to a countryman. She wears a hat and cloak, a soldier's tunic, a short tattered skirt, and fragments of boot or gaiter, and has a large pouch slung from the waist. Another yokel advances behind the first, both are eagerly intent. A dog stands beside them. The man, who is thin and rapacious, stands behind his pegs holding out one of a bundle of sticks to the second customer. In the background is the crowded fair: Punch postures on a platform; a flag with a St. Andrew's cross flies from a church tower."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Bust portraits of seven leaders of the Opposition, each with his almost identical double, arranged in two rows, with numbers referring to notes below the title. The first pair are Fox, directed slightly to the left, and Satan, a snake round his neck, his agonized scowl a slight exaggeration of Fox's expression; behind them are flames. They are 'I. The Patron of Liberty, Doublûre, the Arch-Fiend' (cf. BMSats 6383, 9263, &c). Next is Sheridan, with bloated face, and staring intently with an expression of sly greed; his double clasps a money-bag: 'II. A Friend to his Country, Doubr Judas selling his Master'. The Duke of Norfolk, looking to the right, scarcely caricatured, but older than in contemporary prints. His double, older still, crowned with vines, holds a brimming glass to his lips, which drip with wine: 'III. Character of High Birth, Doubr Silenus debauching' (cf. BMSat 8159). (Below) Tierney, directed to the right, but looking sideways to the left: 'IV. A Finish'd Patriot, Doubr The lowest Spirit of Hell.' Burdett, in profile to the right, with his characteristic shock of forward-falling hair, trace of whisker, and high neck-cloth, has a raffish-looking double with similar but unkempt hair: 'V. Arbiter Elegantiarum, Doubr Sixteen-string Jack' [a noted highwayman]. Lord Derby, caricatured, in profil perdu, very like his simian double, who wears a bonnet-rouge terminating in the bell of a fool's cap: 'VI. Strong Sense, Doubr A Baboon.' The Duke of Bedford, not caricatured, and wearing a top-hat, has a double wearing a jockey cap and striped coat (see BMSat 9380): 'VII. A Pillar of the State, Doubr A Newmarket Jockey'."--British Museum online catalogue.

"In a sordid room four women begin the day by dram-drinking. An ugly elderly woman sits up in a half-tester bed; a pretty young one, naked except for a cloak, night-cap, and slippers, crouches in a chair over a few sticks burning on a flat hearth; another supports herself by leaning across a table. All look towards the fourth who wears a hat and cloak, and approaches from the right with a bottle and glass. The objects in the room denote squalor. An open book on the ground is 'The Chapter of Accidents' [a popular comedy by Sophia Lee, 1780]; a dog has a collar inscribed 'Romeo'; an empty tankard on the floor is inscribed 'Drury Lane'. On the wall is a placard headed 'For the Benefit of the Theatrical Fund' [the Drury Lane Theatrical Fund (still in existence) was founded in 1776]. Other prints on the wall: 'Dirty Peg & the Duke' [two heads kissing, one probably the Duke of York]; 'Bald as a Coote' [the profile head of a disconsolate man, probably General Sir Eyre Coote (1762-1823) who besieged Flushing in 1809, see British Museum Satires No. 11364, &c.]; 'Little Darby O' [a recognizable caricature head of Lord Derby, who married the actress Eliza Farren, see British Museum Satires No. 9074, &c]; 'Ever Craving' [a caricature profile, probably of Lord Craven (1770-1825), who married the actress Louisa Brunton in 1807]; 'Old Q' [a similar profile of Queensberry]. On the projection that forms a chimney-piece is a jug inscribed 'Alamode Beef Jug', a melon inscribed 'Rotten Ripe' [probably indicating Harriot Mellon], and a bust presumably of Whitefield inscribed 'Doctor Squintum' [from Foote's 'Minor']; over his head are the words 'Bang up to the Mark' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 11700]. Tallow dips hang from a nail and on the ground 'Duplicates' [pawn-tickets] are spiked on a file. A gridiron and saucepan stand on the hearth, a bowl of 'Saloup' on the table. A broken bellows is on the ground."--British Museum online catalogue.
