Abstract:
"A lady wearing an enormous hooped petticoat, long pointed stomacher, a calash hood (see British Museum Satires No. 5434, &c.) over a large plain cap, stands with a small nosegay in her left hand, and with a closed fan held to her cheek. She looks down at a young woman (right), who bends forward in profile to the left, with the stoop of 1817, see British Museum Satires No. 12939. The modern woman wears a flaunting bonnet with a cylindrical crown, a scoop turned up from the face, trimmed with flowers and many feathers. She has bare breasts and shoulders, a very high waist, and projecting skirt (above the knee), and large bishop sleeves; her arms hang downwards in the fashionable pose; in her right hand is a large reticule. Her flat slippers are bound to the ankles and legs with ribbons, en cothurne. Below the upper margin: 'The London Modest Ladies once hoop petticoats wou'd Wear But now forsooth they are not Dress'd unless their B-s Bare'."--British Museum online catalogue

"A man in old-fashioned (gold-laced) dress rides a velocipede in front of which on the pole is a seat with arms, for a passenger, occupied by an elderly woman with a cat on her knee. Behind her sits a monkey who stretches backwards to clutch the man by the nose, while a second monkey perched on the back of the machine tugs at his pigtail, and waves his victim's laced cocked hat. From the front of the pole, under the woman's seat, hangs a cage containing a parrot. A lap-dog tied to the back of the machine is dragged along in the dust. There is a landscape background. The woman is the typical old maid of caricature. The rider is probably her footman or coachman."--British Museum online catalogue

"Louis XVIII sits squarely in an arm-chair, head turned slightly to the right, with a satisfied and truculent smile. In his left hand he holds a wine-glass in which kneels a tiny screaming Napoleon, submerged to the waist, with both arms raised above his head. His left foot rests regally upon a cushion, but the slashed shoe indicates that this is on account of gout. He wears dress of ancien régime type, with the ribbon and star of St. Louis. At his side (right) is a cloth-covered table on which stands a bottle of wine."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Napoleon, scarcely caricatured, stands in the centre of the design, pointing with left forefinger to a pile of cannon-balls in the right foreground inscribed 'Forse, meat Balls for the Lads of Paris'. Just behind him, and emerging from clouds, stand the Devil (left) and Death (right), directing his actions. Napoleon is flanked by two much taller supporters: an Italian brigand holding up a pole inscribed 'Plunder' to which a limp purse is tied, and with a pistol in his left hand. On the right is a savage dishevelled butcher, holding up a knife, with a noose in the right hand. Both wear belted tunics. These three are identified by an inscription below the design: 'Capt of Starved Banditty from the Alps, Ad Camp,, The Aghast Emperor & his two Friends & Pillars of the State,, Butcher from Elba. Generalissimo'. All are dominated by a larger figure, emerging from clouds above Napoleon's head, which has a scaly body and streaming hair, styled 'Deamon of War Presideing over the Tyrant'. His extended right hand points to the words 'Boundless Ambition' in large letters on a background of fire and lightning of which he is the centre. In his left hand is the shaft of a pennant inscribed: 'We, Come, to Redres:s Grievances'. Dark clouds and lightning extend left and right over ranks of soldiers in the middle distance who watch Napoleon. Those on the right are a ragged, dilapidated, and motley crew, some with pitchforks; they shout "Vive la Empre . . . [sic]" and "Vive la Boun. . . ." Those on the left are perhaps intended for National Guards (cf. British Museum Satires No. 12531)."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The Regent, seated sideways on his chair, is in back view, holding out his hand in an oratorical gesture towards a ragged and despairing John Bull, who stands hat in hand addressing him. He says: "Why you unatural Grumbler after I have done all I could to get rid of your Money you Still grumble did I not give you a Fète did I not Build you a Bridge did I not Treat you with a Smell of all the nice things at my Feast did I not sign the Corn Bill did I not refuse the [scored through] your Address have I not drank whole Pipes of Wine for fear it should be waste'd have I not spent all your money because you should not spend it your self have you not got the Income Tax to keep you sober, & as for your Dress the Thinner the better for the Sumer Season so Johnny go Home to work its all for the good of your Country." The Regent wears a powdered wig and whiskers, a tight-waisted coat with small pointed tails over very tight breeches, sleeves puffed at the shoulders. John has no coat, wears a tattered waistcoat, shirt, and breeches, has one ragged stocking with a pad over the knee, and one bare leg covered with a twisted straw rope, with dilapidated shoes, thus resembling a destitute day labourer instead of a 'cit' or farmer. He registers despair and alarm."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"The principal belle (right) stoops from the waist with dropped arms (the fashionable attitude), a reticule dangling from her right hand, towards a beau who is arm-in-arm with a Life Guards officer; the latter looks over his shoulder with an insolent stare. A dog shaved in the French manner barks at the lady's short petticoats. The women's dress resembles that of other caricatures of this date except that it is high to the neck.
