- Abstract:
- "In a fantastic procession Napoleon, much burlesqued and very thin, is dragged and pushed to the sea-shore, where (right) a boat manned by the Devil waits to take him to Elba. Round his neck is a rope dragged by two dwarfish and ragged Frenchmen (right): one is a ferocious little Jacobin, wearing a bonnet rouge, shouting "à bas le Tyran"; the other is a royalist, waving a hat in which is an olive-branch and ribbons inscribed 'Vivent les Bourbons', and shouting "Vive Louis XVIII." Napoleon weeps; he is assailed by a shower of missiles including cats and rats; a little demon capers on his head playing a fiddle. His hands are tied behind him and his coat is worn back to front; his feet project through his ragged boots, his great spurs are attached to the front of his leg above the instep. In his coat-pocket is a tiny King of Rome waving a rattle topped by a crown and shouting: "By gar Papa I have made von grand manœuvre in your Pocket!!" The chief motive force is the large 'Allied Broom' [according to Broadley, perhaps describing another state, the inscription is not 'Allied Broom' but 'Abdication'], with which Talleyrand, wearing a long gown and a high surgical shoe on his left foot, pushes Napoleon forward, pointing derisively and grinning delightedly; he says: "There he goes!!!" Behind Talleyrand are a small but elderly drummer and a ragged soldier playing a fife. The former wears in his cap a big white favour, and an inscription: 'Vive Louis XVIII'; the latter wears a laurel branch and a favour inscribed 'Vive Louis' in his bonnet rouge; from his mouth float the words: "He was whip'd & he w drum'd, He w [sic] drum'd out of the Regt, If ever he is a Soldier again, The Devil may be his Sergeant." Next, and on the extreme left, are two women flinging missiles at Napoleon, and shouting "a bas le Tyran--Down with the Tyrant--Vive Louis." On the extreme right is a shouting man holding up a tricolour flag, inscribed 'Vivent les Bourbons', its staff topped by a fleur-de-lis. On the ground (left) are Napoleon's epaulets with the scissors by which they have been cut from his coat, his sash and a small crown, perhaps that of the King of Rome. With these is a document: 'Done at Fontainebleau', across which lies a broken sword. On the horizon (right) is a rocky island from which rise large flames; these surround a tall gibbet with one dangling corpse and one empty noose; a ladder leans against it."--British Museum online catalogue

- "Wellington on the extreme left, seated in profile on his white horse, looks down at three officers who heap trophies at his feet. He says: "Why! here's enough for three nights Illumination!" An officer answers: "Three times Three! My Lord!!" Another, holding two eagles with their tattered tricolour flags, holds out a marshal's baton, saying, "Here's Marshal Jordens Rolling-pin." The third, wearing hussar uniform, and holding an eagle with a flag inscribed 'La Emperu . . .', points behind and to the right, saying, "And here comes their Last Cannon!!" In the middle distance a soldier is dragging after him downhill a cannon by a rope attached to the muzzle; he says, grinning, "By St Patrick I think we have taken all they brought from Parts!"; a drummer bestrides the gun beating his drum and shouting, and a third man stands astride it on the gun-carriage, waving a Union flag and his shako and shouting "Huzza Huzza". Two asses are harnessed tandem to the gun-carriage and are being dragged backwards, one slides on its haunches the other rears; on each is a French soldier wearing a bonnet rouge; one says: "By Gar every ting goes backwards with us." On the hill lies a dead soldier' burlesqued and wearing a bonnet rouge, his legs raised from the ground by his huge spurs; near him is a decapitated body with the detached head still wearing a grenadier's cap. In the foreground (right) are sacks of coin, and a chest inscribed 'Plunder', heaped with church plate."--British Museum online catalogue

- "A sequel to British Museum Satires No. 13397. The Mayor and clerk sit as before. The two constables have brought in three naked bathers, who modestly try to screen their persons with hat, handkerchief, and a basket inscribed 'Sprats from the Royal Canal'. The two women peep in at the door, scandalized; their place near the table is taken by a woman in a red cloak who says: "Blood & Ouns your Worship give poor pat his breeches!!!!" One constable, with coat and breeches over his arm, points to his victims: "Here your Worship, I have brought three of those rebelious Naked Vagabonds before your Lordship to be treated your honor according to Law." The other, also holding ragged garments, stands smugly silent. The men say: [1] "Please your worshipful Lordship tell the Constable to give me my Cloathes--sure & little enough I have of them"; [2] "O! your honor! for the decency of Ireland don't let the Constable sell my poor rags!!!" [3] "By my soul I think is Lordship is going to turn us all into Hottentots." The Mayor, extending a clenched fist, shouts: "You rascals! how dare you presume to cool your selves in the Royal Canal--? No one in this Country must meddle with Royalty--I think I have prevented further indecency on your Parts--give them their cloathes Constable." His left hand rests on a paper: 'Plan for Reforming the City of Dublin'. The two women at the door say: "La what a sight!!!!!!" and "I think it is a greater shame than it was before--I'm quite shock'd to see it." The dandy (? Archer) looks mockingly towards the Mayor, saying, "Well! I think an Archer Bull is not to be found in Joe Miller"."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Elba is represented by a flat-topped rock emerging from the sea only a little above the waves. Napoleon, much burlesqued, sits on a huge chamber-pot inscribed 'Imperial Throne'. He is ragged and bare-legged but wears a large (damaged) feathered bicorne; under his arm is a clyster-pipe. He turns his head in profile towards a demon rising from the sea (left) who holds out a large pistol, saying, "If! you have one Spark of Courage left! take this." Napoleon answers: "Perhaps I may if you'll take the flint out." The demon is nude and emaciated, with a spiky backbone; flame issues from his mouth. Behind Napoleon is the trunk of a decayed tree; on a branch hang (right) a (torn) pair of breeches and two tattered stockings. On the trunk, above Napoleon's head, a crow is spreadeagled to represent the imperial eagle; from its splayed legs hangs a gorget inscribed 'Imperiel Crow'. On the ground by Napoleon's throne are a large jar of 'Brimstone', an open book: 'A Triti [sic]--on the Itch! by Doctor Scratch', a small-tooth comb, a pipkin, and three medicine-bottles. On the right is a cannon made out of a jack-boot as in British Museum Satires No. 12255, and mounted on a gun-carriage. A pole topped by a turnip and two carrots has a little wooden sword tied to it, in imitation of a trophy. At its base lies a syringe."--British Museum online catalogue

- "Two adjacent designs. [1] The Regent tipsily bestrides a fat and ugly cook, who is on her hands and knees; he flourishes a bottle of 'Royal Max' [gin] and a glass and shouts: "Ha! ha! D--me! this is glorious! this is Princely!!--better fun than the Hertford Hobby [see British Museum Satires No. 13213]--Kitchen stuff & Dishclouts for ever I say D--me!!--If the rascals caricature me, I'll buy em All up d--me." The cook, still holding the broken dish from which a huge cod's head has fallen, exclaims: "Oh! Master do let me alone & see! you've thrown the Cods head & Shoulders all in the dirt!" In the background, Lady Hertford, wearing a coronet, looks angrily from a doorway. On the floor in the foreground are a 'Royal Greas Pot', rolling-pin, and a ladle, with a playbill: 'Brighton--under the Pub [Patr]onage of [the Princ]e Regent--High Life below Stairs Principle Character--G P R'. See British Museum Satires No. 13208, &c. [2] The Duke of York, very erect, rides a velocipede (see British Museum Satires No. 13399) in profile to the right, with Mrs. Carey behind him in a little seat over the back wheel, her hands on his shoulders. He wears Windsor uniform of military cut, with breeches, spurred top-boots, and a top-hat, which he raises. Across the pole hangs a fat purse inscribed '10,000 pr annm Custos [Personae Regis]' which serves as saddle. He says: "I say Carey: this Windsor job, is a devilish snug concern & this saddle bag makes it very pleasant riding!--I wish our army had been mounted on these Hobby's in Flanders;--I don't mean Waterloo--" She answers: "I know what you mean;--but it is a good joke, to think while the Establishment of the Father is redud at Windsor: the sons Establist is increas'd at Fulham--tis properly coming York over John Bull." In the background John Bull, a sturdy fellow, stands with folded arms outside a miserable thatched hut where women and children are crouching. He says fiercely: "£10,000 a year for a son to do his duty to his Father!!!!!! whilst my Children are starving!!!--"Fie out! O Fie 'tis an unweeded garden that grows to seed things rank & gross in nature posess it merely." ['Hamlet', I. ii.]."--British Museum online catalogue

- "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
