"Spectators watch military manoeuvres in the air. The sky is covered with camps, marching men, and galloping cavalry, some are in military formation, others are single figures. There are tents and marquees with wings; a man beats a drum, three orientals wearing turbans race through the air beating cymbals. In the foreground (left) spectators on horseback look up in amazement, one horse throws its rider; geese, goslings, and pigs are under the horses' feet. On the right the King and Queen sit together on a bank; the King gazing through a small telescope, the Queen looking at him with delighted astonishment. In front of them is a gate over which two officers mounted on winged cannon are gracefully leaping, a third soars into the air."--British Museum online catalogue

"John Bull, blindfold, stands on a massive truncated pillar holding the beam of a pair of scales. In one scale (left), near the ground, Mrs. Clarke sits composedly among a mass of papers, holding one inscribed My dear Dearest Dearest Darling [see British Museum satires no. 11228, &c.]. The others are inscribed: Sandon, Toyne [Tonyn], Dowler, Omeara, Carter, French, Knight, Clavering. In the other scale the Duke of York swings high in the air, and shouts down to three men on the ground: Save me save me Save my Honour [cf. British Museum satires no. 11269]. They haul hard at ropes attached to his scale, which they tilt sideways so that he is in danger of falling out. One, a drink-blotched bishop wearing a mitre, says: Pull away Pull away the Church is in danger; the other two say: Pull away Pull away we lose all our Places, and Pull away pull away we shall lose our Noble Commander. On the pillar Britannia is depicted seated with her shield and lion; she holds the broken staff of a flag."--British Museum online catalogue

"John Bull, a sturdy citizen, displays to the Tsar who is a crowned bear on its hind-legs (left), an enormous open book: 'John Bulls Journal'. This rests on the ground, and reaches to John's chest; he points to the right.-hand page: 'The Great the Magnanimous Catherine of Russia seized upon One third of the Kingdom of Poland and Kept it to herself - These Peaceful Danes Seiz'd on the City of Hamburgh.' He says: "So you say Master Bruin, that my visit to Denmark has no parallel in History- do be so good as to turn your spectacles to this page and refresh Your Memory." The bear peers gloomily through huge spectacles at the page. Round his neck is a collar: 'This Bear belongs to Napoleo[n]'."--British Museum online catalogue
