"A soldier, apparently on sentry duty on a castle rampart, embraces a pretty young woman, holding his cloak round her. He has whiskers and a moustache and wears a busby with aigrette and bag, indicating an hussar regiment. He wears a sword but his bayonetted musket leans against the wall behind him. The girl wears a curiously shaped cap, with two tails hanging down her back. An officer walking past stops to stare and snigger; behind him is a cannon in an embrasure. In the foreground (left) is a pile of cannon-balls."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A parson, just arrived at an inn, a grosser Dr. Syntax (see British Museum Satires No. 11507), makes advances to a comely and willing chambermaid, who holds warming-pan, lighted candle, and saddle-bags, and is conducting him to his room. They are at the foot of the staircase. A young military officer on the stairs tipsily directs a stream towards the parson's hat. On the wall behind the latter: 'Fountain Inn-Entertainment for Man and Horse Gentlemen supplied with Fishing Tackle &c &c'. Behind his back (right) an elderly man in a night-shirt looks angrily from a room, holding a lighted candle. In the foreground (right) is a clutter of chamber-pots, bucket, mop, boot-jack, &c."--British Museum online catalogue

"Two women (right), one old and ugly, the other young and pretty, walk arm-in-arm, turning their backs on the river but looking over their shoulders at naked young men, three on the bank, one in the water. The old woman, with an expression of prurient anger, screams: "Oh shame on the Nasty fellows do Sophia tell me when we are past them." The younger is frankly interested. Both hold the small flattened parasols of the period. A dog walks with them.

Abstract:
"A design in six compartments arranged in two rows, each with a title. [1] 'Johnnys reception by "merry Tonkanoo at Negro Ball'. The ball is in an open shed with a negro fiddler seated high on a hogshead; most of the guests watch Johnny, the only white, and 'Tonkanoo' bowing to each other. The latter is a tall negro with huge false moustache and long wig, feathered hat, and wide-cuffed coat in imitation of English dress c. 1740, with breeches and bare legs. A negro behind Johnny disperses flies with a branch. A negro couple is dancing; the ladies are fully dressed, some with tall cylindrical hats. Behind are distant mountains. [2] 'Johnny dancing with Rosa--the Planters beautiful daughter'. At the same ball all the negroes form a background of admiring spectators while Johnny, still wearing his enormous hat, dances with a pretty English girl in conventional evening dress, holding both her hands. Tonkanoo stands with his arms extended towards them. In the foreground (left) is a little naked negro Cupid with bow, quiver, and arrows, pointing to the couple. [3] 'Johnnys Courtship and professions of Love to Rosa'. Rosa reclines on a sofa under a piece of drapery looped from a tree; Johnny (left), hat in hand, kneels at her feet while the Cupid aims his bow at him. A pet monkey sits beside Rosa, and behind her (right) stands a negro girl brushing away flies with a branch. Johnny's servant is behind (left) holding an umbrella. Two cockatoos bill on a branch. [4] 'Johnny and the fair Rosa tripping to the Altar of Hymen'. The pair run hand in hand along a path which winds to a church resembling an English village church. Negro servants run after them, one holding up a large umbrella. Before them run two little negroes; one is Cupid playing a fiddle, the other, Hymen, holds up a lighted torch. In the distance, nearing the church, are the parson and his clerk. [5] 'Nuptial ceremony of Johnny and the charming Rosa'. In a Gothic church the parson with his book stands behind a cylindrical altar on which are two hearts transfixed by an arrow. Johnny puts the ring on Rosa's finger. The congregation are delighted negroes and negresses. Against the altar sit Cupid and Hymen; Cupid wears Johnny's huge hat and plays the fiddle; Hymen blows at his torch. [6] 'Johnny and his fair Bride reveling in Jollity and festive mirth'. Johnny, tipsily jovial, his father-in-law, and Rosa, sit at table, drinking, the men smoking, many bottles of 'Sangaree' on the floor. A man fiddles, and in the background a dance is in progress. Johnny wears his planter's hat, &c., as in British Museum Satires No. 11983, and has always a swarm of flies round his head. Rosa throughout wears her ball-dress, with feathers in her hair."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"A design in six compartments arranged in two rows, each with a title. [1] 'Johnny, Newcome landing in the Wt Indies'. Johnny, wearing top-hat (blown off), breeches, and top-boots, steps through surf towards a sandy shore (right) where a giant crab advances to meet him, and two negresses seated under palm-trees register amusement and pleasure. Under his arm is a portmanteau. Behind him (left) is the prow of a ship's boat with two burly sailors, in which he has left a British ship at anchor. A mountainous landscape is indicated. [2] 'Johnny situated as Clerk of stores'. In an open shed facing the sea he reclines among hogsheads, smoking a cheroot and holding a punch-bowl; beside him are pen, ink, and paper; on the ground are a turtle and a monstrous insect compounded of spider and ant. A negro clerk, also smoking, kneels on a cask, and waves a branch over his master's head to drive off a swarm of flies. [3] 'Johnny enamoured with Nymphs bathing'. He stands on the shore inspecting through his glass at very close range three plump negresses, all grinning delightedly, all with the large posteriors of the Hottentot Venus, see British Museum Satires No. 11577, &c. Behind Johnny stands a negro servant, wearing breeches only, who holds up an umbrella, and waves a branch to drive off flies. [4] 'Johnny on a Country excursion'. Johnny, holding a gun, lies in a hammock carried by two negro servants wearing breeches only; a third runs beside him holding up an umbrella and dispersing flies with a branch. He smokes a cheroot and between his legs he supports a large jar, evidently of sangaree. A large lizard watches him. [5] 'Johnny enjoying the sports of the field'. He sits under a palm-tree, a table at his elbow, and holding a bowl in his right hand; he supports his cocked gun with his left hand while a negro holds up the barrel. Johnny has one foot braced against the latter's posterior. Behind, another negro, wearing shirt and breeches, stands drinking from a bowl and waving a branch over his master's head as in Nos. 2-4. A negro boy drives birds towards Johnny. Large bottles of 'Sangaree' are on the ground, others are on the table, with a pine-apple and (?) two banners. There is a mountainous sky-line. [6] 'Johnny Preachee and Floggee poor Mungo' [see British Museum Satires No. 9636]. Johnny, seated beside a table as in No. 5, smoking a cheroot, and holding a bowl on his knee, flourishes the long knotted lash of a whip over the back of a negro who kneels with clasped hands. Another holds an umbrella and the usual branch over his master. Bottles of 'Sangaree' are in the foreground."--British Museum online catalogue

On the pedestal: Placed on this Spot by Command of his | Majesty Geoe IIII--. Spectators crowd round it, all women except for one man who turns to a woman with a prurient leer and the Duke himself, in profile to the left, caricatured, who gazes up at it, stooping forward; he wears uniform with sword and jack-boots and holds his plumed cocked hat in both hands. A buxom lady stands beside him, pointing to the statue; she turns to him to say: See my Ball o' Wax [a slang term for shoemaker]! what we Ladies Can raise, when we wish to put a man in mind of what he has done & we hope will do again when call'd for!!! The Duke answers: The Honor is so great, that all I can say by the Powers, is that I'm Speechless. Two ladies stand arm-in-arm in back view, pointing up at the statue; a little boy asks: Is that--The Regents Bomb Mama? A telescope is directed at the statue, and a little girl is held above the crowd to see the sight. From the crowd labels ascend, inscribed: Do you think it will stand the Weather?; Bless you it will stand any thing; My Eyes what a Size!!; I see it!! [2] A front view of the booted statue, displaying a grotesque face, and the fig-leaf. On the pedestal: To "Authur O'Bradly" and his | "Jolly Companions every one" | This Brazen Image of Patrick | O'Killus Esqr-- | Is inscribed by their Country-women. Two women (right), arm-in-arm, gaze up. One exclaims: La! they must be a Brazen set of jades to stick up such a thing as this in public-- what is it meant for? The other answers: I understand it is intended to represent His Grace after bathing in the Serpentine & defending himself from the attack of Constables. A little girl (or boy) points up, asking What is that Mama? The spectators on the left are generally better dressed and more sophisticated; among them is a negress. Seven of them say: This will be a place of great attraction in the height of the Season--; You mean the fall of the Leaf I suppose?; I would not give a fig for it; well, for my part I think it a great ugly useless thing; Pray Mem, have you seen the Original one--at Rome; O! yes--the Original is much finer.; I don't think its quite the thing-- On a piece of drapery suspended from the upper margin across both designs: His Brawny Shoulders 4 ft Square His Cheeks like thumping Kidney tatees His legs would make a Chairman Stare And Pat was loved by all the Ladies" "The Ladies Joy &c &c" Paddy Carey [see British Museum Satires No. 14970]."--British Museum online catalogue

"Napoleon stands, colossus-like, legs apart, his head turned in profile to the right, looking down with an expression of despair. He is on a high dais beside his throne (right), and turns his back on the crowded hall. He wears a crown and imperial robe over ragged uniform. A tattered sleeve leaves his right forearm and elbow bare; his legs are naked between tattered remnants of breeches and spurred boots through which his toes project. He weeps, with a handkerchief to his eye, and his right hand touching the star on his breast. Behind him (left) is a sea of heads receding in perspective; these are burlesqued, with expressions registering dismay, cynicism, or sly satisfaction. Among them are three bishops wearing mitres. At the back of the hall is a gallery filled with heads on a tiny scale, feathered head-dresses show them to be ladies. Napoleon's words fill a large label covering the upper part of the design: "I myself entered Russia, the Russian armies could not stand before our armies. The French arms were constantly victorious.---- ------"a swarm of Tartars turned their ---- parricidal hands against the finest provinces of that vast Empire which they had been called to defend.---- "But the excessive and premature rigour of the winter brought down a heavy calamity upon my army---- in a few nights I saw every thing change.---- "the misfortunes produced by rigour of hoar frosts, have been made apparent in all their extent, ---- I experienced great losses--they would have broken my heart, if under such circumstances I could have been accessible to any other sentiments than those of the interest,--the glory,--and the future prosperity of my people.-- "I have signed with the Pope a Concordat, which terminates all the diffirences [sic] that unfortunately had arisen in the Church.--The French dynasty--reigns,-- and will reign in Spain.--I am satisfied with all my allies.--I will abandon none of them.--The Russians shall return into their frightful climate [cf.

"Napoleon mounted on an ass in profile to the right faces a piece of water in which 'Dutch light Horse' (cf. British Museum Satires No. 8478), fat Dutch soldiers, are mounted on huge frogs. All wear bonnets rouges with bulky breeches defining heavy posteriors. All hold drawn sabres and have small kegs (of Hollands) under the left arm; although they are smoking they have a disciplined and martial appearance compared with the Frenchmen. Napoleon wears a huge bicorne with crown and plume, and holds a sabre against his shoulder. His ass brays and urinates violently. A burlesqued and very miscellaneous staff and escort is grouped behind him; they have a tricolour flag and an eagle, while a soldier holding a second eagle struggles painfully out of the water. Immediately behind Napoleon are a drummer beating a drum, and a dwarfish companion blowing a fife. Both wear high conical caps with drooping peaks. A soldier with curved ('cheese-cutter') shins negligently holds a musket, looking mournfully at a fat friar, also with a musket, who drinks from a bottle of 'Friars Balsam'. There is an eighth man with a grotesquely sharp profile. In the background a column of tiny soldiers stretches away in an endless line to the right.

Abstract:
A satire on Napoleon's Russian campaign. "Cossacks, led by Platoff, pursue, across a river, a fox with the head and huge bicorne of Napoleon. The Russians ride their horses through the water. The fox, larger in scale than the other figures, takes a flying leap to the shore (right). He says: "Hark, I hear the Cry of Cossacks. The [sic] have got Scent of me -I must take to my heels once more, the are close to my Brush." His tail is inscribed 'Corsican Fox'. Across the lower edge of the design runs a strip of land on which are frogs; one, inscribed 'French Frog', waddles off, while one on the extreme left is being speared. Of the other frogs a few turn to oppose the Cossacks with bayonets; these have a tricolour flag; the majority are escaping to the right, a row of heads and sloped bayonets, with one eagle. Platoff, whose high fur cap has a long plume inscribed 'Platoff', riding with levelled spear, shouts: "Hark forward my boys get along! he runs in view. Yoics. Yoics. There he goes, Tally-ho!" His daughter, in the middle distance, rides through the water, pointing with the hand that holds the reins, and raising a whip; she shouts: "Hi, ho, Tally, ho! For a husband." Cossacks gallop up from the background (left), leap from a low cliff into the river, and swim through it, one carrying a standard with the Russian eagle, behind the two Platoffs. In the background is a town flying a flag inscribed 'Leapsic'; tiny horsemen, evidently Cossacks, gallop out of the city gate."--British Museum online catalogue

"A ship's boat filled with rollicking prostitutes, is rowed towards a King's ship whose bows are on the extreme left. The two oarsmen and the helmsman, and a marine playing a fiddle are swamped by the women, who hold up decanters and glasses. The helmsman lounges with his arms round two women, one of whom holds the tiller. A negro woman smokes a long pipe (cf. British Museum Satires No. 8793). All are in high spirits. Tied outside the boat are two barrels, both inscribed 'Smugled', one is 'Hollands Gin', the other and larger is 'Coniac Brandy'. Behind (right) is a ship with guns projecting from port-holes; two women climb on board by a rope-ladder from a boat, watched by sailors and an officer, while from a window of the captain's cabin another woman looks out.

Abstract:
"Scene in a dormitory in which curtained four-post beds are ranged on each side of the room receding in perspective. Three school-mistresses encourage resistance to a police-officer with a warrant. The pupils are mature young women in plain décolletée nightgowns with short sleeves, and closely fitting caps. The governesses are distinguished by more elaborate caps, and one, 'Mademoiselle', wears a frilled dressing-jacket. She scratches the officer's face, saying, "Ah you come for de Arms! I give you de Hands and de Nails in de bargain you great big Villaine." He holds a constable's staff and a warrant ending '. . . shall be your Warrant,' but makes no resistance; on the ground are his hat and the Information: 'To Peter Pry Police Officer, you will find several pairs of Arms conceald under the bed cloaths every night at Mrs Bounces boarding school in Gunpowder lane.' He shouts: "Murder! I am come to search for Arms! I was informed you had some concealed under the bed cloaths every night, look at my warrant!" He is assailed from behind by a strapping governess holding a candle and a large poker. She stands just inside the open door (left), kicking him, and says: "He shall have Arms, Legs and the poker too, I had just got into my first sleep." Another woman, probably Mrs. Bounce, runs up from the right holding up a candle. She exclaims: "Thats right Mademoiselle Mark him well that we may know him again by day light." The officer has two assistants; one, attempting to search a bed, receives in the face the contents of a chamber-pot from a girl kneeling on the bed; she says: "There some eye water to make you see clear." The third ransacks a trunk in the right foreground; its arched top is marked in nails 'J. Manlo[ve]'. He has thrown out two books: 'Aristotle Ma[sterpiece]' and 'Juvenile Indiscretions a Novel in 4 Vols.' and holds up 'Ovids Art of Love'. The owner grasps his short pigtail and raises a slipper to smite, saying, "I'll teach you to ransack my trunk in this manner you impudent fellow let my books of instruction alone." He answers: "Indeed Miss I won't take one away I would rather help to explain them!" Two pupils say: "Oh dear he is takeing Miss Manlove's pretty books, that she read of a Night to us," and "I'll tear his eyes out if he comes to my box."

"General Frost towers above Napoleon who stands in the snow, his arms folded, while Frost, standing behind him, holds his victim's nose, and flourishes a large razor of 'Russian Steel'. Frost is a grotesque monster, nude to the waist and with the legs of a bear; his great feet are planted upon two groups of little French soldiers, crushing them into the snow. He is emaciated and old, with glaring eyeballs, wide mouth fringed with fang-like teeth, and huge moustache; a blast issues from each nostril; one inscribed 'North' slants down upon Napoleon's head, the other, slanting to the right, is inscribed 'North East--Snow and Sleet'; these are white against a dark sky. He has icicles for eyebrows and on his head are jagged pinnacles inscribed 'Mountain of Ice'. This is irradiated by a disk above his head inscribed 'Polar--Star'. His fingers are talons. From his mouth float the words: "Invade My Country indeed--I'll Shave--Freeze--and Bury you in Snow--You little Monkey." Tears fall from Napoleon's eyes, and he says: "Pray--Brother--General--have Mercy, dont overwhelm me with your hoary element, You have so niped me, that my very Teeth chatter Oh--dear--I am quite Chop fallen." A telescope is thrust under his arm. He wears the wide plumed bicorne of earlier caricatures.

"John Bull, a spectacled citizen, sits by the table in the Commons reading an 'Extraordinary Red Book' and registering frantic anger. He shouts: "Oh!!--Monstrous!!!--that twenty six State Cormorants should swallow annually an aggregate sum: under the name of salaries, independent of the indefinible emoluments which result from other sources of gain amounting to--£453,692. Can we any longer wonder that the love of Place in these men should supersede every more exalted consideration." The mace rests on a scroll which hangs from the table: 'Plac[es] Earl of Liverpool 14,000,-- Mr Vansittart £7,500, &--Ge Rose £16,551--Vist Melville £11,000-- Mr Wellesley Pole £10,000.' On the floor is a paper: 'Droits of Admiralty' [see British Museum Satires No. 10967]. On the right behind John's chair Ministerial members sit in a close row, with a second row standing behind them.

"Jack Frost, bestriding a bear (left), hurls snowballs at Napoleon, who tries to escape, trudging through snow with skates attached to his spurred and tasselled Hessians. Two strike his back, another has knocked off his plumed bicorne. He holds his nose, looking over his shoulder to say: "By gar--Monsieur Frost this is a much colder Reception than I expected I never experianced such a pelting before--I find I must take care of my Nose as well as my Toes--Pray forgive me this time and I swear by --St Dennis never to enter your -- dominion again." From the angry bear's nostrils issues 'a Northern blast' which strikes Napoleon's posterior; its hindquarters are inscribed 'Northern Bear Ham'. Jack Frost is naked, except for large skates, emaciated, and old, with a wide gap-toothed mouth, beard, and huge moustache. From each glaring eyeball slants a searchlight inscribed 'Northern lights'. In each bony hand is a big 'Snow ball', and another flies through the air. He says: "What--Master Boney--have I caught You at last lie--teach you Russian fare--take that and that as a relish and digest it." In the middle distance the 'Empr Alexander' stands with legs astride on a mound of snow pointing derisively at Napoleon. He wears cocked hat, cloak, and fur-topped boots with huge curving toes, like those of three 'Cossacks' who watch Napoleon from a mound on the extreme left. They have spears but are smoking and one is seated; they grin, content to wait their time. Behind Alexander the spears and fur-capped heads of an army project above the snow, in front of the walls of 'Petersbourgh'. On the extreme right and nearer the foreground are French soldiers crouching in the snow and warming their hands at a fire of sticks inscribed 'Moscow'; fragments of gutted buildings are behind them. The sky is covered with slanting lines indicating a blizzard blowing against Napoleon and the French."--British Museum online catalogue

The high wall on the left is covered with large bills at which the gullible are gazing: [1] Doctors Company--Capital One Million divided into Shares at -- Pr Share--the Advantages incalculable No Charge for Emetics opening draughts Injections &c-- [signed] Sam Sexton Clerk, [2] Patent Coffins provided on the shortest notice --No Surgeons Admitted--.

[7] More Advantages-- A New Cabbage and Potatoe Compy Warrented Genuine No cooking required saves time and trouble 5s each Share. [8] Match and Tinder Compy Capital 2 Millions five farthings each Share. [9] Blacking Company. On the opposite side of the wide irregular street is a low-grade barber's shop, with the barber shaving a customer in the doorway. Outside the door his dwarfish assistant sharpens a razor on a grindstone. Above the door is a large tilted board: Tim, Slashem Barber and Perriwig Maker--begs leave to inform the patronizers of Merit--that he means to form a New Company of Mowers of Beards having discovered a New Machine to Shave 60 men in a minute, to comb oil and powder their wigs in the Bargain. NB. Bleeding and Teeth drawn gratis. The striped pole slants forward above the board. At a casement window under the roof a woman is washing; a cat prowls on the tiles. This is a corner-house, its (invisible) side facing Bubble Alley, where the corner-house has a large placard: Peter Puff--Manufacturer of Deal Boards--without Knots from genuine Saw dust &c. At right angles to this is a narrow street receding towards the church. On this are more bills and a projecting lantern: Subscri[bers or ptions] taken in here. Spectators gaze at the bills in the foreground, middle distance, and background. On the left a fat 'cit' and his taller and more fashionable wife walk purposefully; she dangles a reticule, his hand is deep in a pocket, they are clearly deluded subscribers. A yokel and his wife gaze up at the 'Milk Company' advertisement. On the right a countryman on horseback followed by his dog stares up at the barber's notice, as does a bearded Jew carrying a sack (of old clothes)."--British Museum online catalogue

"In the foreground on a hillock above the battlefield are Joseph and Jourdan, starting to run from right to left. The King wears crown and royal robe over Spanish costume with ruff and slashed breeches; his snuff-box lies at his feet. He looks over his left shoulder at Jourdan, saying, "Par Bleu Monsr Marshal we must run! a pretty piece of business we have made of it, if my Brother Nap sends for me to the congress the Divil a clean shirt have they left me! could you not try your skill at a convention again my dear Jourdan! as our friend Junot did in Portugal." Jourdan, in profile to the left, right hand on Joseph's shoulder, answers: "Convention! No ma foi! there is no tricking ce Lord Wellington, we have nothing to trust to but our heels, but I dont think they will save us, you need not be uneasy about a clean shirt for the congress Monsr Joe Allons donc run like de Devil! run like your Brother Nap from Russia!" At his feet lie a telescope, his baton (see British Museum Satires No. 12072), and a sceptre. In the middle distance British infantry put French infantry to flight with the bayonet. In the background (right) on a hill is Wellington with his staff, tiny figures. At the base of the hill British soldiers stand at attention, with Frenchmen kneeling abjectly at their feet.

A handsome young prostitute, elaborately dressed, with curls, feathered hat, and fluttering sash, walks from it, gazing straight before her. Behind her is a fat and hideous bawd, hands on hips, who watches her with calculating malevolence. The bawd wears a watch and seals dangling from her waist; behind her is a doorway inscribed 'Hotel', with an oil-lamp (as in British Museum Satires No. 11454) projecting from the door-post; a bell-pull is inscribed 'Ring the Bell'.

"A night scene, broadly burlesqued. Napoleon, in profile to the left, strides in furtive haste towards a massive gate, directing the beam of a dark lantern against it. From between his coat-tails a long white feather (see British Museum Satires No. 12613) floats behind him, emerging from a cluster of shorter ones. He wears an enormous bicorne, with a plume set in an ornament composed of a crown and olive-twigs (as in British Museum Satires No. 11998), a sash and sabre over his long coat, tasselled Hessians with huge spurs. A head wearing a night-cap looks through the bars which form the top of the gate under a stone arch, to say: "Rap--Rap--Ra--Who comes there--what Midnight disturbers are you." An officer (actually Caulaincourt) crouches at the gate holding the knocker which is set in a great lion's mouth, and beckons towards Napoleon, answering, "It's only Count Vincen"--Alias--Little Boney. the Imperial Fugitive--returned from Victory." The gate-keeper: "Alias-- who"--Alias the Divil you mean." In front of Napoleon's foremost foot a large frog leaps forward; behind him a lean fierce cur barks: "A Russian Cur-- Bow--Wow--Wow." A large label floats back from Napoleon's mouth, inscribed: "hist--is that the Croaking of Frogs I hear--I mistake--its' only the Sycophant Lads in Paris--hurra-ing at My unexpected and precipate [sic] return. thank my Luckey Stars--I have got out of the clutches of them Damd Cossack Curs"--or I should have been food for Bears--long before this time."

Ellenborough declaims: "Too busy Senates with an over care, "To make us better than our kind can bear, "Have dash'd a spice of Envy in the laws, "And straining up to high have spoil'd the cause; "Yet some wise Nations break the cruel chains, "And own no laws but those which Love ordains."

He is a 'cit' with a gouty foot in a large shoe; his crutch and hat are under his right arm, his right hand deep in his coat pocket. He wears old-fashioned dress with an ill-fitting wig, and scratches his forehead, saying, "My Name Your Worship--is John Bull my buisness here is to give notice to my Creditors to avail myself of the benefit of the Insolvent Act." His short, broad, and over-dressed wife stands behind him, saying, "I long thought it would come to this, I told him over and over a gain what would be the end of his Mad career." John's bulldog is at his feet, morose and aggressive. The judge, counsel, and attendants look at John with pained surprise. The judge, perhaps intended for Lord Ellenborough, says: "however such a Circumstance might be looked forward to, it--certainly was not expected Just now."

"British households are represented by large straw bee-hives; these are assailed by tax-collectors and their satellites who run through the air in a swarm. One hive is in the foreground (right), the two next are in the middle distance, with a line of little hives in the distance, curving to the left margin. John Bull, ragged but chubby, stands defiantly on the step of his hive, defending it with a stake shaped like a rough pitchfork and inscribed 'Prop of Reform'; with this he prods the foremost collector, who drops book and pen in dismay. Behind him in the doorway is his wife, brandishing a poker, while three ragged and terrified small children cluster round the door. Other tax-gatherers assail the upper part of the hive; one has made a hole in the straw and puts in his hand; he has already seized honey. Another man departs with chunks of honeycomb, but his coat-tails are clutched by a man who leans from a hole in the hive. Another collector runs through the air, laden with spoil. More of the swarm are still advancing, holding pen and book or paper. One, holding up a constable's staff, holds out a 'Warrant [of] Distress . . John Bull' [scarcely legible]; another has a huge book inscribed 'Poor's Rate'. Other books are inscribed 'Kings Tax' and 'Assess'd Taxes'. One man holds out a paper inscribed 'Snatch Broker & Sworn Appraiser'. The men recede in perspective towards the upper left corner of the design, from which the swarm is descending upon the hives. A tax-gatherer enters the door of the second hive, while another stands on the upper part nailing on it a placard: 'Kings Taxes'. In the foreground (right) beside the hive a broken cord drops from a clothes-prop weighted down with tattered garments. On the left is a smoking manure-heap inscribed 'Ministrial Dung-hill'; on this lies a paper, 'Prope[rty] Tax' [now removed, see British Museum Satires No. 12750, &c.], and from it grow toadstools inscribed 'Place, Pension', and 'Sinecure'."--British Museum online catalogue

Over his head, and hanging from the beam of the scales is a ribbon inscribed 'Sir Harry Pare-nail'. He is watched by George III who leans from a crenellated tower inscribed 'Windsor', on the extreme left, with his spy-glass to his eye as in British Museum Satires No. 10019, &c. He wears a round hat topped by a small crown, and shouts: "Heigh! Heigh! Fellow! pull away those d--d heavy Corn Laws, and Butter and Cheese Laws; let the prices find the level & come within the reach of my distress'd people; I say pull them of directly Fellow, d'ont you see Old England is sunk almost out of sight, you thought I could not see did you Fellow Heigh! Heigh!" A face within a sun dipping behind the skyline sheds tears. A scale of (corn) prices explains the tilt of the scales by lines intersecting at the pivot, representing the tilt of the beam of the scales, downwards or upwards; the right end is inscribed with the price, the opposite end by a word expressing its result in social conditions. A double line is horizontal at the price of '40s'; this is 'Well Level'. Below this level the slanting lines are progressively (reading downwards): '38s', '36s', '34s', '32'. These are respectively 'Happily' [corresponding to 38s.], 'Comfortaly' [sic], 'Gloriously', 'Princely', at which point, 32s., the 'Prices of Provisions' would rest on the ground (and the agricultural interest be ruined). Above the horizontal level, the lines slanting upwards from left to right are inscribed (reading upwards) '60s', '80s', '100s', '120s', '140s', '160s'; these correspond respectively to 'Inconvenience', 'Distress', 'Want', 'Misery', 'Sarvation' [sic], 'Total Ruin'. The actual level of the beam is a price of 140s., just short of 'Total Ruin'. The pointer of the beam is along a slanting line inscribed 'Adversity'; with a price of 34s. it would point to 'Prosperity'."--British Museum online catalogue

"The three members of the Royal family who had recently been given the Freedom of the City as members of the Fishmongers' Company are represented as Billingsgate porters, carrying baskets of fish on their heads, and being kissed by Billingsgate women. All wear flat round hats and aprons. Prince Leopold has a German sausage (cf. British Museum Catalogue No. 12759) projecting from his coat-pocket, and another is in his basket. A comely woman puts her arms round his neck, saying, "My dear Boy you are Welcome to Billinsgate, come give us a buss!! Charlotte wont be angry." He answers: "Stop my Dear I lay down my Sole, and give you bit de german saucage." Two women (left) hurry up from the left, eagerly wiping their mouths on their aprons. They say: "By Goles he's a nice fellow Come do make haste Poll," and "That's right Bet! if you dont look sharp we shant get a taste." The Duke of Sussex, fat and good-natured, is beset by two women, one, an Irishwoman, kisses his mouth. He says: "You Hussey you'll upset my Cod!" She answers: "By the Powers if I care about that my Jewel! I'll have a taste of your Jowl, and a rare Jolly one it is!!" A paper projects from his pocket: 'Freedom of the City of London'. In the middle distance (right) stands the Duke of Gloucester, silent between three women who say: "Now let me have the first an I'll carry your fish; Give me the first and I'll carry you and fish too my heart I'll have such a smack," and "You have a smack indeed I'm the girl for smacking & know the true Gloucester go."

"Six scenes, arranged in two rows, each with an inscription above the design. The figures are realistic, not 'Lilliputian', as in British Museum Satires No. 11134, &c. [1] 'Lilliput is situated a considerable distance from the Island of Great Britain, and the Natives have many singular manners and customs, one in particular is swearing to give a vote according to conscience with one hand, and receiving a bribe with the other--what a happy thing it is that nothing of the kind ever occured in England.' A scene at the hustings, showing one of the posts inscribed 'St M . . .' indicating the polling-place for one of the Westminster parishes, cf. British Museum Satires No. 10619, &c. An elector takes a book (Testament) from a poll-clerk, while a man slips coins into the hand which he holds behind his back. There are spectators (or voters) outside and inside the hustings; a woman sells a ballad. [2] 'They have a litte [sic] man in Lilliput call'd John Bull, we suppose in humble imitation of that Gentleman so named in our Country but the comparison can never hold good, the Lilliputian John Bull though overburthened with Taxes is continually visited by the collector for more--we well know that is not the case in England!!' John Bull, a fat 'cit', is seated in an arm-chair wearing a hat, with a tankard and pipe on a table beside him. He looks up angrily at a lean tax-collector who stoops towards him, holding an open book. On the wall is a (damaged) picture, 'Liberty', holding her cap on a staff. [3] 'There we frequently see Merit in distress, and Ignorance, rolling in affluence, if such facts were mention'd in England, they would not be believed!! their manners are so different.' A street scene. A small thin man (left), his eyes on the ground, and a fat, vulgar, arrogant fellow walk towards each other on the pavement. The former has his hand in his coat-pocket in which is a pamphlet: 'Poem[s] on var ....' They are identified by two bills on the wall: 'By Permission of the Lord Chamberlain--for the Benefit of Peter Prose authour of several Pieces' and (headed by the Royal Arms) 'Slushbuckett Nightman to his Majesty'. [4] 'In Lilliput it is well known that a Female throug [sic] certain influence has disposed of situations in the Army and Church, what would our John Bull say to that!!' Mrs. Clarke receives her clients seated at a small round table; she holds out her hand to take a money-bag from a parson (O'Meara, see British Museum Satires No. 11258, &c.). Behind, an officer advances, sweeping the ground deferentially with his cocked hat, a money-bag in his hand. The head of a third applicant is on the extreme right. A window and a folding screen form a background. The Duke of York inconspicuously watches from behind the screen. See British Museum Satires No. 11216, &c. [5] 'A certain Nobleman in Lilliput is said to have become a jobber and disposed of a seat in Parliament; a pretty Parliament that must be!! O John Bull you are a happy man!' Castlereagh and another well-dressed man sit facing each other across a small round table. Castlereagh hands over a document, the other a money-bag. [6] 'In Lilliput it is common for a boy of fifteen through interest, to leap over the shoulders of a vetran Hero!--Ay John Bull you may well be suprized--but such things are practiced there we assure you.' A boyish officer poised on the bent back of an elderly one, is about to leap over his head; he wears a fashionable crescent-shaped cocked hat; the elder man's old-fashioned tricorne falls to the ground. In front of them is an open door set in a stone arch, probably that of the Horse Guards. John Bull, a fat 'cit', stands in profile to the right, gazing in astonishment. This long-standing abuse came into notice over the proceedings against the Duke of York, see British Museum Satires No. 11281."--British Museum online catalogue

The foremost flourishes two rolled documents: 'B[ill] of Indictment' and 'Exparte Information', and shouts: "D--n your lazy bones make haste, do'nt you see what company we have got." The other has a document inscribed 'Declaration' and cries: "Come Gentlemen do'nt be chop fallen tho' we have no juries you will have justice done ye--!"

[cf. No. 12808]. Next him is the Chancellor, Eldon, on a horse; he says: "Throw it into Chancery, and I'll warrant it will lay there long enough." Beside these two are two barristers (perhaps the Attorney-General and the Solicitor-General, Shepherd and Gifford); one holds his nose, saying, "Curse it what a smell of Brimstone, one would think we were all going to Hell." The other, who rides a (?) fox, leans forward, to address the Devil: "I say Friend do you think we can put off the trial till next term." The Devil answers: "Indeed Friend Botherem we have no put off's in our court, Justice and Dispatch is the Law that guides us." A third barrister (left) sits facing his horse's tail, addressing a miserably emaciated and ragged man who is at the back of the procession on a wretched horse; he holds a 'Writ of Error' and says: "Egad I am afraid I shall not be up to the practice of this court, but with your assistance we shall have time to breathe a little." The other, who personifies the 'Long Vac[ation]', the name being on a scarf round his hat, answers: "Yes! yes! the long Vaccation has given many a poor fellow time to breathe, and brought their Tormentors to their last gasp!"

Abstract:
"A mêlée, in which British soldiers put Frenchmen to flight. In the foreground (left) a burly grenadier prods with his bayonet a ragged man from whose head falls a large sirloin and its dish which he had been trying to carry off. The man shouts; "Oh! Jean Bull vill you not let me have one little bit of Beef??!" [A catch-phrase, cf. British Museum Satires No. 5790.] John answers: "No, No, I'll be d--d if you take the Roast Beef with you." At their feet are a sack of coin, baskets of provisions, wine, bread; a large pot of 'soup meagre' is overturned. On the right a Highlander beside a cannon with a gun-carriage inscribed 'N', seizes a French ragamuffin by his long pigtail, and raises his sword, saying, "Stand out O' the way loons whilst I tak your Last Cannon (see British Museum Satires No. 12069)." In the middle distance French soldiers flee (left to right) before a bayonet charge from men wearing shakos. On a hill behind (left), Wellington on a curvetting white charger surveys the scene; a soldier stands beside him holding a Union flag; both wave their hats. A pendant figure on the right is Joseph Bonaparte fleeing to the right on a galloping ass, his crown falling from his head, his hair rising, and his hands together as if in prayer; he looks behind in terror, exclaiming: "O vat de devil vill Brother Nap say?!!" Beside him a signpost points 'To France'. In the centre a man holds up Marshal Jourdan spiked on his bayonet. Jourdan shrieks: "Oh! My Batoon (his baton falls from his hand)." The soldier answers: "it's oh your Bottom I think"."--British Museum online catalogue

"A smiling bearded Cossack strides towards the spectator, spear in hand, with the left hand he places his conical furred cap over a tiny terrified Napoleon. He says: "I'll Extinguish Your little French-- Farthing--Rush light--Master Boney." Napoleon exclaims, trying to run away: "Death and Fury!--how I burn with Rage--those "Frightful--" Contempable [sic] Cossacks has Clouded all my hopes." They are on a plateau: the head of the Cossack's horse is on the extreme left; troops are marching on the plain, where a Cossack is galloping.

"A design in six compartments, arranged in two rows; in each the same person, Higgins, Governor of Lancaster jail, is depicted in a different occupation. [1] 'A Jailor'. He stands in a prison yard, holding keys, addressing a wretched prisoner; he points to an open door, saying: "You wont be physic'd by my Son, eh you rascall? then you shall go into the black hole till you will." In the background is a prisoner looking from a barred window. [2] 'A Gardiner'. He holds a flower-pot, and turns to address a lady, who says: "I did not know you was a gardener Mr Higginbottom." He answers: "O yes I'ts [sic] all in my way of business Maam I exports Natives and imports Exotics from Botany Bay." [3] 'A Manufacturer'. He addresses a starved-looking man seated at a loom, and holds a large roll of cloth under his arm. He says: "You Idle scoundrel is that all you have made to day. I'll discharge you depend on it." The man answers: "Indeed Sir I have been hard at it for eighteen hours." Large rolls of cloth are piled on a table under a wide window. Through a doorway is seen the back of another weaver at his loom. [4] 'A Farmer'. He stands in a corn-field, wearing a smock and gaiters, and holding a pitchfork. He addresses two labourers holding sickles:"I think I should know you! didn't you belong to my Sheep walk once." One answers with a grin: "to be sur I did Governor and took a little bit of an Oath for you." [He seems to imply that he has given (perjured) evidence in a sheep-stealing case]. [5] 'An Alderman'. He sits in an arm-chair, wearing a furred gown, addressing a trembling yokel: "How dare you contradict an Alderman do you know I can send you to Quod for that." The man answers: "Na I did not indeed your Worship! but you shall always have it your own way in future." Fetters hang on the wall behind the alderman's head, labelled: '1. 10. 0' [twice] and '£2. 0. 0.' [a smaller set]. A key is on the table beside him, and prison buildings are seen through a window. [6] 'A Captain'. He stands arrogantly, wearing cocked hat and gorget, pointing with his sword and saying: "You sir ther with the carotty wishers!! I see you sneering at me. don't you know I'm your Captain and can put you in irons." Three ladies watch him with mocking disapproval; one says: "Captain forsooth! these fellows will make the word Captain Odious"."--British Museum online catalogue

"A sea-monster (left) discharges flames and missiles against a British vessel, represented by a corner of the deck (right), the taffrail inscribed 'British Oak'. On this stands a sailor, clapping his right hand to his posterior; his left holds his sabre, inscribed 'British Steel', with which he steadies himself, the point resting on the deck. He looks over his shoulder at the monster with a contemptuous scowl. In his round hat is a broad blue ribbon inscribed in large letters 'True Blue Dreadnought'. The monster, or torpedo, is barrel-shaped, with fanged and gaping jaws, a huge eye, and smoke, flame, and thunderbolts rising from its nostrils. On its back stands a demon holding the American flag and pointing to a skeleton, Death, which stands, clenching its fists in a pugilistic attitude, in the flames rushing from the torpedo's jaws. The demon says to the skeleton: "Grapple him Citizen and I'll play one of my Infernal capers under his Bottom." The skeleton says to the sailor: "I'll tip you a Yankey Torpedo." The sailor: "Blow up my hull indeed-- you may Kiss my--tafferal--Mr Yankey doodle--"Shiver me--I'll tip you a taste of the Shannon and send you down to old Davy." From the torpedo's jaws, among the flames, come serpents; objects discharged against the ship are a cannon, pistol, powder-barrel, &c., all emitting fire, and also crowbar, scourge, chain-shot, spear, cross-bones, shears, hammer, pincers."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Behind, another drives the ferrule into the face of a blind man who is being led by a dog across the road (right). A short lady, passing a dandy who also holds an umbrella, raises hers so high that she breaks a street lamp. [2] 'How to Turn a Corner--' A dandy (cf. British Museum Satires No. 13029), hands on hips, swaggers round a corner knocking down a fat fellow in old-fashioned dress. There are four other pedestrians, a dandy walking with two ladies, and a stout elderly man. [3] 'How to clear the Streets--' Five men with linked arms, would-be fashionables, have overturned one man; one of them kicks a fishwoman behind; her basket falls from her head and she is falling. A woman and little boy flee from the roisterers. [4] 'How to Attract public Notice--' A man dressed as a dandy, wearing grotesque trousers gathered in at the ankle, and staring through an eye-glass, walks with a fat bedizened woman wearing a gigantic feathered bonnet and holding up a parasol. Four passers-by point and jeer, or stare in astonishment, the latter being a yokel and a little maidservant hurrying with a basket of vegetables and the door-key."--British Museum online catalogue

"Four designs on one plate [1] 'How to stop up the Passage--' Five men, one in dandy costume with trousers gathered at the ankle, stand in a close group on the pavement, laughing slyly. A porter (left) carrying a burden on his knot, and a woman (right) carrying milk-pails on a yoke who has just come from the arched doorway of a milk-cellar both yell at the obstructionists without attracting attention. Behind the latter is a window with 'B. Block' above it. [2] 'How to make the most of the Mud--' A stout pugnacious-looking man aggressively stamps on a loose paving-stone and a fountain of mud splashes a fat woman from head to foot. From his other foot a black stream squirts against a dandy. In the background (right) scavengers are flinging mud from the cobbled street into a cart, splashing a lady. [3] 'How to carry a Stick--' A pedestrian walks along intently reading a book, the words 'T. Tegg Cheapside' being just legible at the foot of the page. Under his arm is a long stick held horizontally; it is about to ram the face of a fat dismayed parson. Another man accosts a woman, showing her a letter, his stick held between his knees. Cf. British Museum Satires No. 8931. [4] 'How to get into the Watch-House--' A tipsy blood attacks a watchman with a bludgeon, while a second watchman whose lantern has been broken tackles a second blood, who staggers in drunken helplessness. The first watchman springs his rattle, and two more hobble to his help. Behind the foreground figures are a shuttered shop-front and an empty watch-box."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Six scenes arranged in two rows, divided by lines, each with a caption, and inscriptions above the design. The figures have large heads, broadly caricatured, in the manner of Woodward's Lilliputian designs, cf. British Museum Satires No. 9635, &c. [1] 'Conscience'. A fat florid woman gesticulates wildly, watched by a sour-looking man. They say: "Oh Im Undone! Im Undone!" and "Then I wish you would undo me--for they have fined me five Shillings for my bit of fun." [2] 'An Airing'. A fashionably dressed and grotesque couple walk arm-in-arm, registering anger. She says: "Now let us pretend to walk out as if nothing was the matter." He says, registering anguish, "Oh what a prize in the Lottery." [3] 'Alarm'. A woman holds a man on her knee. He says, registering dismay, "But if Mr Spriggins should come home what should we do then." She answers, calculatingly amorous: "Be not alarmed sweet Lily of the Valley." [4] 'A Walk to the Shubbery' [sic]. A not uncomely woman, holding up a fan, leads a hideous man towards a shrubbery. He says: "Let me lead you lovely fair one--Nothing loath." She answers: "Oh spare my Blushes." [5] 'A scene in a Stone Coffin'. A couple embrace in a stone coffin beside which lie a skull and bones. She says: "O Dear o dear if the Gostesses should come." He answers: D--n the Gostesses." (An Irish scandal of 1784, see British Museum Satires No. 6699, &c.) [6] 'Observation'. An old man wearing a night-cap and huge spectacles stands with bent knees gazing through a doorway. He says: "Mercy on me, what do I see--well a pair of spectacles is tantamount to two Witnesses"."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A plump young woman stands with feet together bending before the wind, and holding down the short (muslin) skirt of her high-waisted décolletée dress. The wind makes it define her plump posterior and she says, "La, Bless me how cool it is." Her brightly coloured ankle-boots have a border of swan's-down. Two absurd fops walking close behind inspect her with amusement, one using an eyeglass says: "It is certainly more gratifying to view, than the Regents Bomb!!!!!!" [see British Museum Satires No. 12799, &c.]. The other says: "I think she intends it as an opposition, to that in St James's Park." One wears a long braided coat to the ground, the other loose trousers and narrow coat-tails which blow round his legs. Both wear stocks, collars, small hats, and fluffed-out hair like those of the dandies in British Museum Satires No. 12840. On the right a couple walk off to the right, in difficulties with an umbrella. The woman's dress is well above her knees; the man wears wide trousers tied in at the ankle, and coat-tails like streamers of ribbon. Farther from the spectator, and walking from right to left is a young woman followed by a little negro foot-boy. She holds on her bonnet, and holds down her very short skirt in front, saying, "What a rude wind this is, old [sic] fast behind Mung." He holds down the hem of her skirt, and carries her reticule; he answers: "Yes, Miss'e I wont let Loose if you dont." In the background, behind the rails, a man chases his hat, a woman holds an umbrella which is inside out, and sees her bonnet blow away."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"A scene on Horse Guards Parade, in front of the Regent's Bomb, see British Museum Satires No. 12799, &c., burlesquing costume, military and civilian. Three officers stand together (left); an infantry officer wearing tight trousers and an enormous shako, says: "What ridiculous uniforms they wear on the Continent! d'ont you think so Major?" A cavalry officer answers: "We beat them all to nothing in Uniforms! our R . . . . t has such exquisite taste!" He is in back view, one peak of his cocked hat reaches below his waist, the other is high above his head. The third, a hussar, too stout for tight uniform, wearing a gigantic busby with pendent bag and heavy metal chin-strap, answers: "Monstrous! enough to make one die with laughter." A civilian, his cheeks gripped by his high collar, looks over his shoulder at them, saying, "Ha Ha what a set of quizzes!!" His fat wife is in back view, and her skirt is raised high, displaying legs, by the sabre of a Life Guards officer who bows low to a fat bedizened woman who takes her husband's arm. An enormous horse-tail hangs from his helmet which is surmounted by a dragon (resembling that of the 'Bomb'). She has monstrous lips, and wears a huge bonnet trimmed with roses, &c. He says: "Ah! my dear Mrs Bloom! You look like the Godess [sic] Flora this morning, your Roses and Lillies are beautiful but your Two Lips [cf. British Museum Satires No. 13057] still more so! I prefer your Twolips indeed Madam." She answers: "Eh! Eh! Eh! Vy ive got no twolips Captain! law what a deal of hair you have got on your thingumbob, if I had met you behind, I should have taken you for Orson the wild Man of Voods." Her fat husband, who is dressed as a dandy (cf. British Museum Satires No. 13029) except that his figure makes the high-waisted effect impossible, answers: "Come thats a good one Captain but Margery don't take it." He holds by the hand a gaping over-dressed child wearing frilled drawers to the ankle."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A satire on costume and manners. Dandies (see British Museum Satires No. 13029) eagerly offer refreshments to ladies at a reception or ball. An elderly fright stands in the centre, between a thin (left) and a fat (right) dandy, one proffering a large goblet on a salver, the other a plate of patties, one of which is stuffed into his grinning mouth. She eagerly turns to the left with an ogling grin. On the left a footman spills a tray of goblets and ices over an elderiy lady seated on a chair which tilts backward. He has been knocked off his balance by the bow of the thin dandy. On the right a dandy seated by a fat ugly lady offers her a goblet. Her short skirt displays fat shapeless legs, defined by cross-gartering. All are much décolletée. A dandy drinks, while admiring himself in a mirror. A candle-sconce hangs between two oval mirrors, but in an adjacent room seen through an archway is a hanging chandelier with chimneys which probably indicate gas. Violinist, 'cellist, &c., play in a musicians' gallery in the background (left)."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Wellington, handsome and youthful, stands beside his white charger; he wears a star (K.G., 4 Mar. 1813) and a star dangles from his horse's head. A young officer runs up to him from the left hat in hand, proffering a field marshal's baton; he says: "General I greet you with the tydeings of complete Victory the Usurper and his Field Marshal have fled, and left all their Cannon, Amunition, Baggage, Military Chest, provision, and I here present you with Marshall Jourdans Baton of command!" Wellington says: "May this Trophy prove--our hope of future victory, and England once more restore Spain to her lawful Soveriegn!" Between and behind them stands a third officer, looking at Wellington with both arms raised ecstatically. On the extreme right and almost in back view an officer looks through a telescope saying, "There goes King Joey!" He looks towards tiny figures on a bluff (left) near the towers of Vittoria. They stand on raised ground in the foreground. Behind (left) English infantry run forward with fixed bayonets; bodies lie on the ground."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Sheridan, in Harlequin dress (cf. British Museum Satires No. 9916), rows an open boat, over which large waves are breaking, towards a rock on the horizon inscribed 'Cape Clear', The others in the boat are (left to right) Moira, in the bows, Yarmouth pumping hard, the Regent, McMahon, and Lady Hertford who steers with an oar. Her identity is made unmistakable by a scarf streaming from her décolletée dress, inscribed 'Manchester Stuff [cf. British Museum Satires No. 11878]. She says: Pull away Sherry--Til steer you--into--Blanket Bay'. Next her sits the Prince, vomiting, his head held by McMahon, who says, "This is Sorry--Work indeed." His hat, trimmed with his feathers and motto, 'Ich Dien', flies from his head, puffed by blasts from three winged (portrait) heads, two perhaps intended for Burdett and Whitbread. Sheridan says to Yarmouth: "Pump a way My Noble dont Flinch." Moira bestrides the bows of the boat clasping the flag-staff from which flies a Union Jack; he says: "I'll keep a good look-out a head for My Honours sake." Three other winds (unrecognizable), inscribed 'Mother Careys Chickens', blow against him (cf. British Museum Satires No. 11050). On the horizon, surrounded with breakers, are buildings: (left) 'Yarmouth Peer', and (right) above Lady Hertford, 'Cuckolds-point', surmounted by a head with wide-spreading horns."--British Museum online catalogue
