- "Satire on Napoleon's defeat, abdication and retirement to Elba. in a makeshift-looking room, a huge, hairy devil approaches Napoleon at right, holding a trident and proffering a noose, saying, 'Master Boney the favour of your company is requested -'; Napoleon, at left, hurriedly rising from his 'Camp stool' and pulling on his breeches, replies, 'I'll be with you in a crack'; a skeleton looms up behind him, at the same time holding back Joseph Bonaparte who tries to escape through an open door at left, his crown falling off, the skeleton apprehending him, 'Stop thief'. By the side of Napoleon's throne-like stool, a stoppered bottle labelled 'Composing draught', a glass and a crown, at his feet his hat and sword; on a table beside the devil are other suggested measures for suicide: pistols, a dagger, a smaller demon holding out a cup labelled 'Genuine Jaffa poison', a dish of 'Opium', an axe, a paper lettered 'Perhaps you would prefer drowning'; underneath the table are trunks lettered 'Military chest / Hospital chest / Diamonds'."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Napoleon, riding on an ass, with Marie Louise seated behind him, approaches the coast, with the 'Island of Elba' on the horizon (right). Just in front of him the King of Rome rides a mastiff inscribed 'Corsican Dog'; the child points with a switch at the island, and looks round at his father registering furious anger. Napoleon stares in agonized dismay, his hands raised in astonished protest. He wears a peaked cap inscribed 'Fools Cap'; the coat of his accustomed uniform, breeches unbuttoned at the knee, and wrinkled stocking showing bare leg. In front of him hangs a small sack: 'Bag of Brown Bread'. Marie Louise (see British Museum Satires No. 12218) is a dishevelled termagant, her left hand resting heavily on Napoleon's shoulder. She turns to thrash the donkey, her open mouth indicating an angry scream; she raises a bludgeon inscribed 'Baton Marechâle' [cf. No. 12088]. The boy wears a single garment over bare legs; a tight childish cap is tied to his head; from his waist hangs a dagger. The dog bays at the sight of the sea. Behind the ass walks an elderly and old-fashioned French post-boy, with heavy boots and whip and wearing a cocked hat. He clenches a fist, and extends a leg as if kicking, and screams: "Be gar you Cocquin now I shall drive my Old Friends and bonne Customers de English Vive Le Roi et le Poste Royale." Beside the ass's head is the upright of a gibbet-shaped sign-post inscribed 'Road to Elba'; from this hangs a noose. Two carrion birds fly past it towards Napoleon, one holding in its beak a paper: 'We Long to pick your Bones.' Over Elba is the customary flight of (carrion) birds. Against the shore lie two small boats, one has a mast; in the other sits a man."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Blücher stands on the shore, directed to the left, holding out at arm's length, and by the scruff of the neck, an animal (as much like a fox as a dog) with the head of Napoleon. The Emperor, in profile to the left, wears his petit chapeau, and gauntlet gloves, so that he has human hands. In a heap at Blücher's feet lie Napoleon's discarded uniform, crown, sceptre, sword, and an eagle. Along the shore runs an officer shouting in terror, his arms raised above his head. Near him a small boat with sail and oars lies at the edge of the water; a man climbs in with a sack on his shoulder inscribed '20.000 a year'. On the horizon is a small island, 'Island of Elba', above which fly carrion birds. On the right in the middle distance is another scene; a closely packed group of royalists and allied soldiers, in front of which stands Louis XVIII, with clasped hands, while a man places a crown on his head; Talleyrand, wearing a long gown, and with a surgical shoe on his right foot, obsequiously proffers a paper: 'A List of Ministers for your Majesty's Approbation'. Behind Talleyrand is a bishop with a crosier, and wearing a mitre which suggests a papal tiara. A woman holding up a laurel-wreath stands on the right. Behind these figures appear the heads of mounted soldiers and hands waving hats. The whole group is dominated by large white flags, the most prominent covered with fleur-de-lis and inscribed 'Restoration of Louis XVIII'. There is also an Austrian (or Russian) flag."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "A handsome strapping woman stands in the doorway of a brothel, a corner house of some size (right), tugging hard at the neck-cloth of a plainly dressed man, saying, "Wont you come, wont you come Mr Mug [a popular song, see British Museum Satires No. 11205]." He leans back, pushing against the door-post, and the woman's chest, trying to escape, and saying: "Avaunt thee Satan." Two laughing prostitutes lean against him (left), pushing their posteriors against his, to prevent his escape; one of them, for better purchase, presses her hands and a foot against the post of the sign-board before the door. On this is a pictorial sign: 'Cat and Bagpipes'. A dog rushes barking towards the struggle. Behind (left), across the street, is a row of old houses with casement windows; washing hangs from a projecting pole."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
