Abstract:
"The representatives of six of the Allies, the most prominent being John Bull, stand on a bluff (left) tugging at a rope by which they pull a row of seven uniform Dutch men-of-war from the opposite coast. The ships are small, their sails are inflated by a favourable wind; they fly Dutch flags, one inscribed 'Texell Fleet'; John Bull, a stout 'cit', pulls side by side with a Spaniard in slashed tunic, ruff, and feathered hat. Behind this pair a Russian wearing a fur hood steadies the rope. A Prussian Death's Head Hussar hauls at the end of the rope, his back to the sea, but looking over his shoulder. Beside him is an Austrian officer, while a Portuguese or Sicilian waves a feathered cap. On the extreme right, behind the Dutch fleet, are two little figures making frantic gestures: Napoleon waving his sword exclaims: "Oh Brother Joe--I'm all Fire, My Passion eats me up Such unlooked for Storms of ills fall on me It beats down all my cunning, I cannot bear it My ears are fill'd with Noise my Eyes grow dim And feeble shakings seize every Limb." Joseph stands behind, his crown at his feet, saying: "Oh Brother Nap Brother Nap we shant be left with half a Crown apiece [see British Museum Satires No. 12068]." The ships are filled with Dutch sailors; others are on the shore (right) pushing at the stern of the nearest ship in order to launch her. This partly obscures the others, which are in line, diminishing in perspective. A ship's boat rows towards the horizon. A large sun (right), irradiated and inscribed 'Sunset of Tyranny', sinks into the sea. Between it and the coast (left) is a row of five men-of-war at anchor, flying the flags of the Allies, their poops in a line. The ship on the right, nearest Holland, flies a Russian flag, the next, with the highest masts, flies British flags. In the foreground (left), lying at the base of the bluff on which the Allies stand, are two casks inscribed 'Real Hollands Best Double Proof' and 'Genuine Spirit Neat as Imported'."--British Museum online catalogue

Behind are the backs of spectators gazing up at a platform, on the extreme left., on which a Russian displays a bear on its hind-legs, padlocked to a post inscribed 'French Influence'. The Russian, holding out a sheaf of papers, blows a trumpet with an attached banner decorated with the Russian eagle. Behind is a back-cloth inscribed: 'Russian Booth - . This day will be presented the Comedy of The Double Dealer [by Congreve] to which will be added a new Burletta called The Bear in Leading Strings - The Music principally French' [see British Museum Satires No. 10750, &c.]. Next are three narrow platforms close together: a zany wearing a conical cap, shouts to the audience below. His placard announces: "Danish Booth - The English Fleet [comic opera by T. Dibdin, 1805] and The Devil to Pay" [opera by Coffey, 1730]. Below the script a naval engagement in depicted. Next, a pierrot, wearing a fool's cap, beats a drum, before a placard: 'Sweedish Booth - Blind Bargain [comedy by Frederick Reynolds, 1805] and Hob in the Well' ['Flora; or, Hob in the Well' by Hippisley, 1730]. A Punch-like man stands in front of the 'Westphalia Booth - Wife and no Wife [unacted farce by Coffey, 1732] with Jerry Sneak [in Foote's 'Mayor of Garratt', 1763] in his Glory'. All three booths fly their national flag, except the last, on which there is a ham inscribed 'Venison', see BMSat 10759. The booths recede in perspective and from left. to r., a pendant to similar booths on the opposite side. Between them, facing the spectator, is the central and largest: 'The Best - Booth in the Fair Iohn Bull and Company - The Englishman's Fire Side, and The Wooden Warn of Old England, Principal Characters by Joh Bull, Paddy Bull, Ben Block &c.' This is surmounted by the Royal Arms and British flag. On the little stage Britannia stands, holding her spear and pointing to a group seated round a punch-bowl: John Bull, a fat 'cit' smoking a long pipe, Erin with her harp, a fat Welshman with a leek in his hat, and a lank Scot in Highland dress; the last three are drinking. The toast is on a paper below the punch-bowl: 'Old England for ever the land Boys we live in'. Beside Britannia is her lion, rampantly supporting her shield. The space under the platform (boarded upat the other booths) is an eating-place: men (in shadow) guzzling hard, while a cook triumphantly brings in a huge sirloin.

Abstract:
"Napoleon, a grotesque mannikin in a strait-waistcoat, sits on a three-legged 'Stool of Repentance' which stands in a large tub of 'Hot Water', whose steaming contents are inscribed 'Sea of Troubles'. The waistcoat is inscribed 'Allied Strait Waist-coat'; it has long sleeves extending far beyond his hands, the ends held by the Tsar (left) and a Cossack (right) so that the captive's arms are horizontally extended. His head is bald and is in profile to the left; he has a beak-like nose and his mouth gapes like a young bird's for a huge bolus inscribed 'Invasion of France' which John Bull, a fat 'cit', puts into his mouth. Alexander, who wears an ill-fitting bag-wig poised on his own hair, holds a knout with knotted lashes, inscribed 'Russia Hemp'; he says: "I have found, a constant application of this Russian Knout to work Wonders!!" John Bull, who stands beside him, says: "Work away my Masters I'll pay you your fees ay ay rave & rant Master Boney but the Devil will Bone you at last." In the centre of the design, high above the other figures, stands a grotesque Dutchman, with a conical hat, a frill round his neck, and grinning features. In his hat is a ribbon inscribed 'Orange' and a pipe. He holds up a short cannon or mortar inscribed 'Dutch Drops' [see British Museum Satires No. 12114], from which pours a flood containing tiny replicas of himself armed with dagger, axe, a blunderbuss or bayonet, who descend upon Napoleon's head; among these are balls (bullets or oranges), the largest inscribed 'Orange Boven'. He says: "We'll try what Dutch Drops will do!" By the tub (right) kneels a Spanish don, wearing slashed tunic and breeches, with cloak and ruff; he applies a plaster to Napoleon's back inscribed 'Spanish Flies' [cantharides or blister-beetles, see British Museum Satires No. 11016], and grins broadly, saying, "Here is a Plaster of Spanish flies for his - ." Behind him stands the Cossack, piercing Napoleon's left arm with his long spear, making a fountain of blood spurt into a bowl, inscribed 'Crown Bowl', held by Bernadotte, the Crown Prince of Sweden. Bernadotte wears an absurd powdered wig with queue perched on his own hair which is in a small pigtail. On the wig is poised a cocked hat. He says: "I think my Crown Razors have shaved his Crown pretty close." From his belt hangs an open razor, the blade inscribed 'Best Crown Steel'. Like Alexander, he wears uniform with jack-boots. The tub stands upon flames inscribed 'Moscow' from which emerge the towers and buildings of the city, see No. 12049. Napoleon frantically flourishes above the water one thin leg in a huge jack-boot with a giant spur. He exclaims: "Hence with your Medecines--they but drive me Mad-- Curse on your Dutch Drops your Leipsic Blister [see British Museum Satires No. 12093, &c.] & your Spanish flies they have fretted me to what I am D--n your Cossack Lancets They have drained my veins and rendered me poor & vulnerable indeed!--Oh! how I am fallen--But I will still struggle--I will still be great--Myriads of Frenchmen still shall uphold the glory of my Name the Granduer [sic] of my Throne & write my disgrace in the hearts of ye--ye Wretched creatures of English Gold!" On the extreme right a Frenchman wearing a bonnet rouge looks in through a window, much perturbed. He says: "By gar de grande Bounaparte get into de hot water at last, he no like his Doctors--by gar he say they be no doctors, but de journeymen of dat great Doctor John Bull." Behind Alexander and on the extreme left is the 'Allied Medecine Chest'. It contains a jar of 'Surgical Instruments' bristling with cutting and slashing weapons, axes, bayonets, sword, &c., with a jagged saw; a pile of 'snow balls' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 11917, &c.], and a jar of 'Cossack Leeches'."--British Museum online catalogue

"Eight designs in two rows, each with lines parodying 'the House that Jack built' etched above each. Some section of the bridge appears in Nos. 1-5. [1] Tiny French soldiers gallop across the bridge; a man punts in the rapidly flowing river. Behind is Leipzig, a walled town backed by hills. Above: "This is the Bridge that was blown into air." [2] Three men, wearing helmets and aprons, excavate a pit beside the bridge, from which a man looks down: "These are the Miners that had the care / Of mining the Bridge . . . [&c.]." [3] A Grenadier corporal holds a long match towards the covered pit; three tiny Grenadiers run across the bridge: "This is the Corporal, stout and strong, / Who fired the Mine with his match so long, / Which was made by the Miners . . . [&c.]." [4] A swaggering officer points at the ground, looking over his shoulder at the corporal, who runs forward with his match, saluting obsequiously: "This is the Colonel of Infantry, Who ordered the Corporal . . . [&c.]." [5] The colonel listens deferentially to an officer who whispers in his ear, pointing downwards: "This is the Marshal of high degree / Who whispered the Colonel.. .[&c.]." [6] Napoleon gallops from the battlefield, indicated by a drum in the foreground and bodies in the background: "This is the Emperor who scampered away, / And left the Marshal . . . [&c.]." [7] Refugees, including women with infants and an old farmer, make gestures of despair. Behind is the blazing town which more fugitives are leaving: "These are the Thousands who cursed the day, / Which made him Emperor ... [&c.]." [8] Four allied sovereigns in a tent consult over a map held between them. Alexander (left) sits on a camp-stool, the others stoop over the map: the King of Prussia is in back view, facing the Emperor of Austria. Bernadotte faces the Tsar: "These are the Monarchs so gen'rous and brave, / Who conquered the Tyrant, and Liberty gave, / To Thousands on Thousands . . . [&c.]"."--British Museum online catalogue

"Four ladies sit at a round table, two old and ugly, the others young and comely. The ugliest (left) peers through spectacles at a newspaper, screaming, "Mercy on us here is news!! They write from Hanover that when Boney part took possession of that country, he ravish'd all the Women!!" The other, holding up her fan, exclaims: "O! the Wretch". The two younger ladies (right) turn to each other, saying, "It is very true Ma'am it is only a word and a blow with him-Your Honour or your property", and "Well Ma'am if he should come here, at all events I will take care of my property". A young girl, sitting demurely at a little distance from the table, her wrists crossed on her lap, says: "So will I Mamma!" A butler with a tray of glasses enters the door, grinning."--British Museum online catalogue

"Atlas (right), bearded and muscular, nude except for swirling drapery, kneels on one knee, supporting with both hands a terrestrial globe which he pushes towards Napoleon on whom it is about to fall. The Emperor staggers back, dropping his sword, his left arm and right leg are raised high, to ward off the impact. He looks up, terrified, and says: "France be mine! Holland be mine! Italy be mine! Spain & Poland be mine! Russ, Prussia Turky, de whole World vil be mine!!! Monsr Atlas hold up dont let it fall on me." Atlas, with a menacing frown, answers: "When the Friends of Freedom and Peace have stop'd your shakeing it on my shoulders [and] got their own again, I'll bear it, till then you may carry it yourself Master Boney!" Close behind Napoleon (left) two French marshals or generals flee to the left, looking back at the globe One (left) says: "By Gar tis true tis fall on your Head! votre Serviteur! we no stop to be crush vid you"; the other: "Votre Serviteur Monsr Boney." Napoleon's head is scarcely caricatured, the generals are grotesques in the manner of Gillray, e.g. in British Museum Satires No. 9403, 'French Generals retiring, on account of their Health . . .'

The other two, leaning across a table on which are writing materials, scowl angrily; one, clenching his fist, says: "How dare you Fellow to say it is unfair to bring you before one hundred Magistrates when you see there are but three of us!"

"John Bull capers on one leg, arms raised, looking down delightedly at little capering creatures at his feet whose bodies are composed of food or drink. These have human arms and legs (as in British Museum Satires no. 9851) and are flanked by two similar figures on a larger scale: a joint of beef (left), inscribed 'Sir Loin for ever' and decorated with sprigs of holly, sits on a flight of steps holding 'O the roast Beef of Old England', the tune to which they dance. On the extreme right sack inscribed 'Genuine Flour, No Adulteration' dances with heavy dignity. Two musicians are on the left: a frothing tankard of 'Old Stout', decorated with the Royal Arms as in BMSat 9851, plays a fiddle; a loaf of 'The Best Wheaten Bread' plays a pipe. The dancers are: 'Mutton 3d 1/2 Pr Pound'; 'Prime Hops, no Quashee'; 'Double Gloucester'; 'Jamaica Rum'; 'Old Port', and 'Coniac'.

Abstract:
"Two sailors face each other at a small table, on which is a centre-dish of pork bristling like a porcupine. Behind the table stands the hostess looking warily at one sailor (right); she says: "Never was better Pork believe me Gentlemen - I powdered it with my own Hands." He answers, scowling: "Did you so - then I'll tell you what Mistress, while your hand was in, I wish you had Shaved it also." The other (left), spiking a bristling chunk of meat on his knife, says: "Why Jack - may I never cast Anchor again, if there ant bristles in this Pork as thick as Cables." Beside him is a dog. Both sailors wear striped trousers with buckled shoes. A punch-bowl is on a side-table, and the print of a ship on the wall indicates a sailor's house of call."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"A woman decked out in quasi-fashionable but absurd finery, stands in an old-clothes shop between two sailors, one (right) dressed much as in British Museum Satires No. 10894, but with two bunches of seals at his fob, the other wearing a petticoat, his bluejacket open to show a white waistcoat. Both have their black scarves knotted round a white stick-up collar. The woman holds a parasol, and has a ring on every finger; a miniature (see British Museum Satires No. 10894) hangs from a chain of beads, she has two large bunches of seals, bracelets, and ear-rings. A much-feathered hat has a large projecting scoop; her high-waisted dress has a long train, with vandyked lace trimmings. The vulgar, would-be fashionable, shopman, says: "Depend upon it Sir, mine is the first house for for fashionable Articles in Monmouth Street, on the honor of a Salesman I have dealt fairly and honestly, I assure you, by the Young Lady's fashionable feather hat, I dont get a farthing - ." The sailor answers: "Come - come no palaver. I know you have cheated me pretty handsomely - but howsomever as my Messmate and I go partners in the ship and Cargo - it wont fall so heavy - but come my hearty - I'll tell you what I'll do with you - throw me in half a dozen laced Smickets [chemises], and we'll make it even money, I like to have it all rignt under the Hatches, you understand me - all of a piece from Stem to Stern, D----n me!" The other sailor (right) and Poll face each other. He says: "Why Poll I should scarcely know you - You look like a Bond Street frigate steering towards Pall-Mall - but I say my lass I dont much admire your gib-boom - it puts me in mind of a scuttle fish in a fresh gale." On the extreme left are long shelves piled with garments; on the right a man's tail-coat is displayed on a stand. The shop opposite is seen through the open door."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"In the foreground (left) is a crowd wielding battledores who send small puppet-like M.P.s high into the air. On the right is the House of Commons represented by a corner of a dilapidated building with a high Gothic doorway. To this men and one fat Billingsgate woman are hurrying with flat baskets on their heads, on which are heaped more M.P.s. The crowd is cheerful and in general fashionably dressed. They shout "No Corn Bill [often repeated]," "Keep the game alive," and "there he goes." One with patched clothes and the hat of a dustman or coal-heaver, shouts to his victim, a lawyer in wig and gown, "Now for it Mr Garrow." Most of the shuttlecock M.P.s register silent dismay; one with gouty legs exclaims "Oh! my Heels," another who is bald shouts "Oh! my head." Most of the 'mackerel' lie limply on their baskets; one struggles to rise, saying, "Faith & I never was in such a Flood before--I really beleive I'm dead--but However dead or alive an Irishman will always do his duty." Over the doorway is 'St Stephens.' in large letters. Within, the (burlesqued) Speaker is seen in his Chair, extending arms and legs in terrified astonishment; behind the table are two Clerks. Only the Government benches are visible; these are empty, but a man is indicated in the gallery. Outside, standing between the two groups of the mob, two constables holding their staffs consult gloomily. One says "We had better let them alone"; the other answers "I think so." On the ground (right) is a pile of bricks, stones, spiked knuckle-dusters, and a spiked club with a bag of: 'Pepper for the Piccadilly Squad'."--British Museum online catalogue

"A companion print to British Museum Satires No. 10763, representing Ministerial and Opposition leaders on platforms in front of their booths. On the extreme left. is Sheridan addressing the crowd below: 'Walk in Gentlemen and Ladies - here is no deception. Just going to begin.' He points to his back-cloth which hangs from a flagstaff: under a bottle and glass is the inscription 'Prime Sherry Gratis - The Comedy of A New Way to Pay Old Debts [Massinger] - with the Publicans Friend.' Harlequin, masked, with a blackened face, postures behind him. The flag is inscribed 'In vino Veritas'. On the adjacent booth Castlereagh stands with upraised arms, holding a tali long-bow with two strings. Beside him a pierrot bangs a salt-box. His back-cloth is inscribed 'The Genuine Booth - Two Strings to your Bow [a popular farce by R. Jephson, 1791] and a Trip to Down [see British Museum Satires No. 10715]'. His flag is inscribed 'Down Down Hey Derry Down.' The centre booth has a tattered back-cloth inscribed 'The Old Broad Bottomd Booth rather out of repair But Excellent Entertainment.' Its flag, also tattered, is 'Catholic Emancipation'. On the platform Grenville bows very low, hat in hand. Beside him is a pierrot holding up a steaming bowl and a placard: 'Treasury Soup Hot at all Hours'. The next booth is 'The Only True Constitutional Booth Persevere & Company' the flag is 'No Popery'. On this Perceval, his back to Grenville, bows, saying, "Dont mind what the Broad Bottoms say good people - mine is the only treue constitutional Booth." He has two attendants, one holding 'Magna Charta' besides a man blowing a trumpet to which is attached a banner with the royal arms. On the extreme right., a little apart from Perceval's booth, is that of Canning. The back-cloth is inscribed: 'A Collection of Sky Rockets Just arrived from Denmark very Curious.' Rockets rising from behind the cloth descend in golden streams on the crowd below. Canning is in full armour and holds a tilting-lance; he says: "Don't be afraid they won't hurt you." His pennant is 'Necessity has no Law.' A man in the crowd, looking up at the rockets, says: "To tell you the truth I don't admire Sky." On the ground-level are side-shows under two of the platforms. That of Grenville is the roof of a square stone building; its door is placarded 'Portland Stone moveable Kitchen, a great Curiosity' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 10718]. No ladder ascends to the top, as with all the other booths, so that Grenville can descend only by stepping on to an adjacent platform. Beneath Perceval's platform is inscribed: 'Underneath to be seen the Bed of Roses' [see British Museum Satires No. 10558, &c.]. Among the crowd of gaping spectators are men crying their wares. They hold out broadsides. One (left) shouts: "Who buys my rotten Burrows if I'd as much money as I could tell I never would cry rotten Burrows to sell." A yokel in a smock asks him: "What do you ax Master for a good snug thing in your way." A man cries: "Who wants to buy any New Taxes"; a fat farmer says: "Dang it we have got enough of that Article". A Highlander in a kilt cries "Places and Pensions at half Price". A man offers a similar Highlander: "Snug Sinecures Dirt Cheap." A corpulent parson addresses a stout woman whose arm a much shorter man is holding: "Any more Church livings than you make use of I'll buy them of you." On the extreme right a quack doctor offers money-bags: 'Delicate Consciences effectively cured - no cure no Pay'."--British Museum online catalogue

"The cobbler leans savagely over his wife who is tied to a chair, and with her wrists bound. With his awl between his teeth he pulls at the thread with which he is stitching up her mouth.

"A grocer's snug parlour, with 'Mr. Fig', an ugly 'cit', holding on his knee an ugly child who is playing havoc with the tea-things. With a mug inscribed 'EF' the infant has smashed the tea-pot, while an overturned milk-jug makes a pool on the floor at which a cat laps. The man's back is to the fireplace (left), where a kettle is boiling over, and a red-hot poker is burning the floor. He says, with a fatuous smile: "Pretty Dear Heart! what a Gulley [an unrecorded word, evidently from Gully the pugilist]. it has given the Tea Pot, she delights in a little mischief, I should not be surprised Mrs Fig if she was to make as much Noise in the World as her Namesake, and as the Poet says "like another Ellen fire another Troy". Mrs. Fig (right), with arms angrily extended, exclaims: "Troy indeed Mr Fig, I think your more likely to Fire the House, look where the red hot poker lays and see how the tea Kettle is boiling over!!" On the wall is a framed print of 'The Worlds End', a flaming globe (the sign of more than one public house in the outskirts of London). On the mantelpiece are a large china mandarin (sign of the grocer's connexion with the tea-trade) and a medicine-bottle labelled 'Composing Draught for Miss Fig'.
