Abstract:: "A country barber, his assistant, and a boy, are engaged in shaving and wig-dressing. An elderly rustic sits full-face and well-lathered in an arm-chair in the centre of the shop, while a lean and tattered barber holds the bowl. A stout farmer in top-boots (left) with a stubbly face dubiously contemplates a wig, which he holds on a tall wig-block. On the right a fat barber painfully shaves an old man, while a younger customer stanches a cut over a basin. A young boy in front of them holds two elaborately curled legal wigs. A long judge's wig, uncurled, hangs from a wig-block. Behind (left) a prim, elderly man in a newly dressed wig adjusts his neck-cloth at a small mirror; a coachman in back view puts on his tightly curled wig. There are also two dogs, two cats, a magpie taking part of a wig from a box on the floor, and another bird in a cage. Above the door (right) are fishing-rods and a creel. On the wall are four prints: a naval battle (framed); a view of the 'County Gaol'; an execution scene; and a skeleton fiddling to exulting demons. There is also 'A Calendar of the Prisoners to be Tried. . . '. The room is ramshackle with a casement window, bricks showing through the plaster. From the roof hang a ham and a bundle of turnips and carrots."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state of the same composition

The Prince's head, set in a star which is the head of the comet, is as in No. 7508 except for the addition of a stock between the wings of the coat-collar. In the comet's tail the first profile head is that of Moira, replacing Sheridan who is in the second place, between and in front of Erskine and a partly concealed profile perhaps intended for Ponsonby. Next are the Duke of Norfolk and Lord Derby. Behind them are (?) Tierney and a good-looking military officer. Next come three Grenvilles abreast: Lord Temple between Lord Grenville (on his right) and the spectacled Buckingham. Behind them are Whitbread, holding up a frothing tankard of his 'Entire', and Lansdowne. Behind these are Grey, and (partly obscured) Lord Carlisle. Two heads with faces hidden are on the extreme right."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "The Ministry defend 'The Citadel of Office' behind a high stone wall against different Opposition groups. The chief defence is by the tiny Perceval who fires a cannon from whose muzzle issue three heads intended for Wellesley, Ryder, and Melville. In the centre the wall is breached, and Eldon looks from the gap, weeping; behind him is the Woolsack, inscribed 'Wool'. Lord Grey, on tiptoe, reaches up to seize his gown, while he flourishes a paper: 'Report of Physicians 1804'. Erskine, quite bald and with his (former) Chancellor's gown over his arm, reaches up to tug at the Chancellor's wig. Seated on the wall at the lowest point of the breach is Yorke in back view; in his pocket is a 'List of my Friends Cambridge' [see No. 11535]. He hands down a large seal bearing an anchor to Whitbread who straddles a cask floating in water which adjoins the 'Citadel' on the right. Whitbread takes this emblem of the Admiralty, flourishing a tankard (cf. No. 10414). On the left of the breach Sir Vicary Gibbs, brandishing a rolled document inscribed 'Law of Libel', defends himself vigorously against Romilly, who drags at his gown and has a similar weapon inscribed 'New Statutes'. In Romilly's pocket is a paper: 'New Bankrupt Laws'. Farther to the left the three Grenvilles, Lord Temple, the Marquis of Buckingham, and Lord Grenville, level a battering-ram against the wall. The ram has a ram's head, as in heraldry, but with a human face, and is intended for Ponsonby, leader of the Opposition in the Commons. On one horn is spiked a paper: 'Catholic Emancipation'. Between them and Romilly, little Lord Lansdowne (Petty) sits on the ground squirting a large syringe over his shoulder at the wall. Next the ram Moira, stiff and aloof, holds up a fox with the head of Lord Holland (nephew and political heir of Fox), whose fore-paws, holding a paper of 'Resolutions', have reached the top of the wall but are caught in a trap. On the extreme left. Tierney bestrides a wooden horse whose hind-legs are broken off; it is inscribed 'Finance'. A bundle inscribed 'New Budget for 1811' is strapped to his back; he fires a pistol inscribed 'Bullion Report', but he is about to be thrown, so that the pistol points backwards over his head. Between Tierney and the wall are Burdett and Wardle. The former is flinging mud at the defenders, at Moira, and at Tierney. ..."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "A young woman stands in profile to the left, at a dressing-table, while a buxom ladies' maid laces a pair of long stays. She wears a boudoir cap tied under the chin, and holds a flat ruler-shaped stick under the stays in front to regulate the operation. The stays fit closely over a pair of plain knickerbockers, cf. No. 9608. The dressing-room is luxuriously furnished. The dressing-table is draped in muslin and has a swing-mirror. On it are toilet-articles, bottles (two inscribed 'Milk of Roses' and 'Esprit de Lavande'), a rosary, a mask, a ticket inscribed 'Masquerade Argyll Street', and a lap-dog, looking at itself in the mirror. The furniture is ornamented with ormolu. A small hanging book-case with curtained glass doors hangs on the wall. A picture of a woman draped in a cloak, walking, with a landscape background, is inscribed 'Morning'. On a console table is a Chinese vase with a bouquet of roses. Jug, basin, &c, are on the ground beside a chair on which are boxes for toilet appliances. Heavy fringed curtains cover the window (left)."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "Counsellor Clifford, realistically drawn, stands in profile to the left, his feet together, holding behind his back a flaming fire-brand, emitting thick clouds of smoke. He wears a hat, and has a sinister expression--a sly grimace with a hint of smile. His long, drink-blotched nose, projecting forehead and underlip are conspicuous. He stands on the cobblestones outside the east front of the new theatre, which forms a background, and is on fire. The façade is still intact but vast masses of flame and smoke rise from within, lighting up the windows. In the foreground lie three bottles, all labelled 'Brandy', and a paper: 'Clifford versus Brandon--Verdict by Blunder £5'. ..."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "A preacher in a bulky gown almost fills an hexagonal pulpit, in which he stands full face, the right hand raised in exhortation, left on a book which rests on the tasselled cushion. His face is repulsively sub-human, with broad flattened nose, scowling forehead, eyes slanting up from the nose, long upper lip and wide curved mouth, with short hair and whiskers, and suggests an embodiment of evil. The head is ironically irradiated by the fan-shaped carving at the back of the pulpit from which winged heads look down at the preacher. At the base of the design and obscuring the lower part of the pulpit is a cloud radiating flashes of lightning."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "A rich farmer's parlour or drawing-room, with curtains drawn over two high windows (right). Betty, plump and bucolic, wearing a high-waisted dress with short sleeves, sits at a square piano (left), in profile to the left, laboriously playing and singing, her eyes on the music: 'Bluebells of Scotland Sung by Mrs Jordan. O Where & O Where is my Highland Laddie gone'. The farmer and his wife stand by the piano, gaping in delighted admiration; they are stout, good-humoured, and plainly dressed. A younger girl, slimmer and less rustic, stands by the piano (left), singing; she holds up a fan. Under the piano is a book: 'Songs of Catalani'. Three elderly ladies sit at a card-table (right), on which are spread drawings or embroidery by 'B. Giles'. One sleeps, two gossip with spiteful zest. A son of the house sits primly with his back to the windows, in profile to the left, his hands folded, ill at ease in frilled shirt, and powdered hair. A small foot-boy enters from the right with a decanter and glasses on a salver and a cake-basket on his arm, the cakes falling out. A spaniel sits dejectedly in the foreground. The room is lit by two pairs of candles in sconces, two candles on the piano, and one on the table. The chairs are of modern shape, with stuffed backs and ormolu ornament. Above the chimney-piece is a heavily framed sampler with two alphabets, figures from 1 to 12, 'Evil communications Corrupt good Manners', and a design of two birds flanking two hearts pierced with arrows, inscribed: 'Betty Giles aged 16. 1808. Cheese Hall'. Over the piano in an oval frame is a view of 'Cheese-Farm': the corner of a house next a small thatched cottage and two haystacks. A gigantic horse looks over the cottage roof, and in the foreground a woman milks a large cow, beside which are two geese and a cock larger than the woman."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "A corner of a room hung with unframed canvasses is a background for five men, all in profile to the left. Four closely inspect a picture of two vast pigs lying outside a thatched hovel. The foremost, an old man, peers through spectacles held reversed; in his left hand is a 'Catalogue of Pictures by Morl...'. He is identified in the 'Illustrative Description', 1830, and by Grego, as Captain Baillie, the engraver and connoisseur, by Wright and Evans conjecturally as J. J. Angerstein. Behind is a profile identified as that of Mitchell, a banker; next is Caleb Whitefoord, looking through his glass (see BMSats 8169, 8725, &c). Behind him stands George Baker, a patron of English water-colour painters [print collector and bibliophile], holding a paper on which the word 'Pigs' is legible. Standing apart, with a grossly fat nan pressed on a canvas which he raises from the wall, is Mortimer, a picture-dealer and restorer. He puffs and spits from coarse protruding lips a picture, the head and shoulders of an enormous boar. The pictures burlesques of Morland's manner: (1) A grossly fat butcher inspects a fat pig displayed by a farmer; (2) a man with a pitchfork drives pigs from a stackyard; (3) a yokel embraces a haymaker in a barn while a braying donkey looks in at the door; (4) a mounted sportsman at an alehouse door takes a glass from a hugely fat woman; (5) a ragged woman with an infant on her back tells a stolid farmer his fortune. On the floor, in front of the connoisseurs, an empty frame and a bulging portfolio labelled 'Sketches from Nature by G. Morland' lean against the wall."--British Museum online catalogue

A few spectators are strung out along the railing; an old sailor sits on the railing, smoking, facing the sea."--British Museum online catalogue
