"The interior of an art-school. A stout woman (nude) sprawls awkwardly on an armchair on the model throne, round which fat Dutchmen are grouped. One, seated on an upturned tub (right), paints at a large canvas on an easel, the figure being realistically drawn. Others sit on the floor or on stools, drawing on smaller canvases. One stands (left) behind a high desk. Some smoke pipes. The room is lit by a smoky lamp hanging from the roof, throwing the light directly on the model. On the wall are prints, casts on brackets, and a picture. A ladder leans against a beam. The artists wear the round hats, short jackets, and bulky breeches of Dutchmen in caricature."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A fortune-teller seated in his room receives a visit from Miss Farren (right) who sits facing him in profile to the left. She is fashionably dressed, wearing a high ribbon-trimmed hat, and a cloak bordered with fur; her hands are in a large muff. She says, "The woman at the Green Rails in Store Street gives me no hopes of a coronet, I wish to know your opinion, venerable Sage."

"A central monument [1] representing the French Republic is flanked by figures on pedestals inscribed [2] 'Liberty' and [3] 'Equality'. [1] A stout and frantic man rises from a tottering armchair which is poised on a pile of fragments of columns inscribed 'Humanity', 'Social Happiness', 'Tranquiliy' [sic], 'Security', 'Domestic Peace', 'Laws', 'Urbanity', 'Order', 'Religion'. On the back of his chair are the words 'Republic of Paris', the word 'France' having been scored through; beneath is a serpent. He shrieks "Ca ira", and holds a print inscribed 'Religious Indifference', on which a bishop and a monk burn at the stake. From behind him leans a nude and ugly man, with small wings, holding out to the left a cornucopia from which issue six papers inscribed 'Assignat' (cf. BMSat 8145). Above his head is the word 'Plenty'. Four famished and grotesque heads, in profile to the right, in the upper left corner of the design, lean avidly towards the assignats. [2] On the left an arrogant embodiment of Liberty stands in profile to the left, one foot resting on two volumes inscribed 'Law'. He is a ragged soldier with bare legs, left hand on hip; in his right hand he holds a dagger on which is spiked a bleeding head. He says, "Ah Ca! f-----u Convention". At his feet, and on the extreme left, five men kneel abjectly, raising their hands in supplication; the man in the foreground wears a legal wig. [3] On the right Equality is symbolized by a well-dressed man grovelling on his hands and knees, while a burly, ragged, and half-naked ruffian stands on his back threatening him with a club. Beside them (right) is a pictorial banner inscribed 'Humanity': a grinning virago kneels on the body of a naked and mutilated man, a dagger in her right hand; she holds up the bleeding heart of her victim. Above this group stands a soldier in profile to the right, blowing from a trumpet the words 'Peace of Europe Establish'd'. He holds a match to the touch-hole of a mortar, inscribed 'Abolition of Offensive War', which is emitting cannon-balls; behind is a fortification inscribed 'Geneva'. He is inscribed 'Peace', and is a pendant to 'Plenty'."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A design in three compartments, each with its title. [1] John Bull (left), very corpulent, a frothing tankard in his hand, sits in an arm-chair beside a table loaded with beef, pudding, and 'Home Brew'd'; he is approached by three famished Frenchmen, who lean eagerly towards him, cap in hand. He points to the table, saying: "The blessed effects of a good Constitution." The three say: "I am your Friend John Bull you want a Reform"; "My Honble Friend speaks my Sentiments"; "John Bull you are too Fat." Below: [2] The three Frenchmen, ragged, bare-legged, and fierce-looking, two with bludgeons and one with a dagger, advance menacingly to John Bull, who holds out a frog, saying: "A Pretty Reform indeed you have deprived me of my Leg and given me nothing but Frogs to eat I shall be Starved I am no Frenchman." He has a wooden leg, is less stout than in [1], and his clothes are ragged. The Frenchmen say: "Eat it you Dog & hold your Tongue you are very happy"; "Thats right my friend we will make him Happier still" (his cap is inscribed 'Ca ira'); "He is a little leaner now." Below: [3] John Bull lies prostrate screaming "O - H - O - H"; two frantic Frenchmen holding firebrands trample fiercely on him. One (left) says: "now he is quite happy I will have a Jump"; the other adds, "Oh Delightfull you may thank me you Dog for sparing your Life - thank me I say."--British Museum online catalogue.

"The head and shoulders of Lady Archer at different stages of her toilet. In the first (right), wearing a night-cap, with unsightly pendent breasts, she looks up to the left, tears falling from an empty eye-socket, her gaping mouth showing toothless jaws. In the next she fits in an eye, in the third she places a wig on her head, in the fourth (below on the right) she fits in a set of false teeth; in the next she applies rouge to her cheeks with a hare's foot, holding a mirror. In the last (left) she appears a pretty young woman, holding a mask in her hand.
