- Abstract:
- "Tom Cribb stands in the foreground, full-face, in a sparring attitude, but holding a bottle whose cork he has just drawn. In the bottle is a negro's face; the contents explode violently, with inscriptions in the explosion: 'a Jaw breaker--Fibbing--Fibbing--More Punishment, A Floorerer, --A Nobber A Doubler, --Want of Wind A Left Flush, --A Rally Sparring for Wind.' Behind him is a table round which sit and stand raffish-looking men, drinking, cheering, and smoking. A punch-bowl is on the table, empty bottles on the floor. Captain Barclay stands with one foot on the table raising his glass, to give the toast: "Gentlemen--the Milling Champion at Thisselton Gap." Six others shout: "Bravo, Capn--"; "Bravo Barclay for ever."; Bravo, Milling for ever."; "Bravo,--Bravo,--Scotch Training for ever."; "Crib, and Barclay for ever."; "Bravo Capn--Huzza"."--British Museum online catalogue

- "A sailor stands full-face, legs astride, hands plunged through the bottomless pockets of his jacket; he squints violently, one eye turned on an uproar (left), the other on two termagants (right). His broken pipe, still smoking, lies at his feet. He says: "I am hardup--not a Quid left, or Shot in the Locker--to pay the Fiddler--Mi Eyes--what a Squall, how it whistles trough the Ratlines I must Braill up and Scudd under Bare Poles." A prostitute with a patched face (left) kicks him and is about to bring down a fiddle with broken strings on his head. This she has snatched from a man with a wooden leg and patched eye-socket who lies on the ground at her feet. Another woman (right) yells at him, holding out an enormously long bill on which are such items as 'D°', often repeated, and 'Sundreys', 'Lodgings', 'Grog', 'Fidler'. Behind her an old bawd in the bar points to a chalked-up score, where signs for guineas are marked. On the left a watchman with a lantern enters, springing his rattle, which is inscribed 'St C'."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

- "Napoleon and Marie Louise are awkwardly seated on a throne (right) watching a comet representing the King of Rome, while the child's gouvernante proudly holds him up to gaze at the phenomenon through a telescope. The comet is a disk containing a naked child wearing a cocked hat, and holding a bowl; a gallic cock stands on his posterior, from which the comet's tail issues, reaching the real child. Five grotesque and elderly Frenchmen kneel with gestures of adoration (left); one kisses the toe which the Empress holds out. They have plans of the heavens; on the ground beside them is a plan showing the child-comet surrounded by stars and a waning moon. Napoleon wears a plumed bicorne and Hessian boots; he looks through a telescope, seated on the edge of the throne, right leg raised and resting on Marie Louise. The King of Rome, who as usual has his father's features (see British Museum Satires No. 11719), wears a similar hat and a little shirt. His gouvernante, Mme de Montesquiou, is dressed as nourrice rather than court lady. The throne is surrounded by draperies supported on pillars; it is surmounted by the iron crown of Italy and the back and arms are formed of carved eagles."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "The infant King of Rome sits on the lap of his Governess to receive the compliments of a long procession of deputies. She offers the child's bare posterior, from which issues an explosion, to the lips of the foremost deputy who kneels obsequiously on a cushion. The child has his father's face, as in British Museum Satires No. 11719, &c., and wears a cocked hat and military tunic; he flourishes a rattle, ignoring the homage. The deputies all wear long robes over court dress with sword and are burlesqued; the second holds his nose, many take snuff. The long procession recedes in perspective (right). The Governess is also grotesque and elderly, wearing old-fashioned dress and an elaborate frilled cap. She sits on the little King's throne which is on a dais. It is topped by the iron crown of Italy with a sceptre and baton; on the back is an imperial eagle above a wreath enclosing the letters 'R R' [Rex Romae]. The leading deputy: "Madam Governess. not one of us can behold without a most lively interest, that August Infant--on whom rest so many Destinies, and whose Age and Charming--Qualiteys, inspires the Most tender Sentiments in the French and Surrounding Nations." She answers with a staring grin: "Monsieurs, --I thank you for the polite and flattering encomiums, You are pleased to bestow on me--I thank you in the Name of the Young Prince, Whoes Charms are Inexpressible. and regret that he can not add his personal sentiments to those which I entertain, to the--Legislative Body." Napoleon (left) watches the homage from behind a curtain which divides the child's throne from women who are washing the infant's napkins; he holds up a forefinger and stares intently. A disreputable old woman washing a tub-full of 'Shi--en Clouts' also watches; her tub rests on a low stool under which a dog urinates, and on which are bottle, glass, and snuff-box. Another, behind Napoleon, hangs 'Royal Clouts' on a line in front of a steaming copper. She says, "The Stench from the Young Urchin is intolerable--he smells like a pole Cat." A basket of 'Foul Linen' is on the ground."--British Museum online catalogue
