"Lord Eldon sits at a high desk above a table, with mace, &c., at which two barristers are writing. He raises his arms in astonishment at the sight of a still (left) inscribed 'The Q--n's Double Destlled [sic] Essence of Bergamot' [with 'ot' scored through and replaced by 'i']; from this the Queen's head emerges, facing the head of Bergami, which issues from an arm of the still. This is surrounded by smoke and stands on a bench, behind which on a low platform stand Louise Demont and Majocchi, pointing at the object, the latter saying: "Non me Ricordo." A barrister, probably Copley, stands near them, saying: "It's a strong proof but froieng [sic] brew'd and out of our power to discover the Makers." Eldon, dropping his pen, says: "This is cuesed [sic] strong it is certainly doubled proof of their Private works." A profile (? Liverpool) leans forward from the left margin, saying: "My L--ds he can swear to the Smell and Taste." Peers, some astonished, some amused, are seated on benches between Chancellor and witnesses. Only the Duke of York can be identified; he says: "I'll have one made for my Travelling Carriage." A bishop: "We must get Bergami to calk it up."."--British Museum online catalogue

George IV, wearing a coat and top hat, punches a plainly dressed Caroline in the face on a dirt street in front of buildings; blood gushes from her nose as she falls backwards from the blow. Lady Conyngham, elegantly dressed, stands behind the King and converses with a soldier on the left edge of the design. Another man, dressed as royalty in a fur-lined cape, stands in a doorway on the right, angrily pointing and yelling at a woman; a sign posted next to the doorway advertises "The Life of King Henry VIII."

"The Queen stands beside the King, taking his arm; he drives away and kicks Lady Conyngham, who is surrounded by four other fugitives. He says: "Out ye Harlots--for such as you Kings have come to beggary--for such as you Kings have been Idolist [sic]--for such as you Kings have been Adulterers;--yea even lost their crowns!--God save the Queen--."

One of the women has fallen prone; she exclaims: "O how hath the mighty fallen." On the extreme right and next the Queen stands a bishop with a drink-blotched profile.

Heading to a printed broadside in support of Queen Caroline, with a depiction of the Queen in the upper left, riding in a chariot pulled by a lion under a banner reading "Innocence and Triumph." The Italian witnesses against her are being led in chains to the gallows, the man at the back of the line remaking "This is past a joke O! Majocc"; a hangman smoking a pipe awaits them at the top of a ladder, noose in hand. Three figures with bags over their heads are already hanging, with a fourth hanged figure being fed by a devil with a pitchfork into the flaming mouth of a demon on the right, a "Green Bag" falling into the flames next to him. Another victim is skewered by a second devil standing inside the demon's mouth; the words "Milan Commission Receiving Office" are written amid the flames. A John Bull figure with a walking stick watches the scene from the right, remarking: "Well now if this h'ant a sight that pleases John Bull - Go & be hang'd to ye you Italian scoundels - come to swear an innocent womans life away." In the center foreground, a dog tears at a second "Green Bag" with its mouth

The King, much burlesqued, stands with legs astride on the boards of a theatre, framed by curtains patterned with grapes, bottles, glasses, crowns, and antlers. On the back-cloth are crude Chinese figures. He has a huge head, with heavy drink-blotched face crowned by the towering curls of his wig, and holds a full goblet and a bottle of Curaco.

"An adaptation of British Museum Satires No. 11904 (1812), by Cruikshank, reversed, with Lady Conyngham replacing Lady Hertford. The open barouche, with four galloping horses and the Cupid postilion, is closely copied. Behind the carriage, as footman, General Bloomfield replaces McMahon. Conyngham replaces Hertford on the donkey, with the antlers, dress, and (incorrectly) the staff of office of his predecessor. He says: "How fortunate am I to have a Handsome and Cunning wife or I should not wear those marks of Distinction!" Lady Conyngham repeats Lady Hertford's words: "We have had a glorious ride my Love! It is worth Half a Crown" [cf. British Museum Satires No. 13826]. George IV: "My Cunning-one I have not Half a Crown to give thee, Would that I had." The Devil drives, as before, but sits alone, instead of beside Lord Yarmouth; a long barbed tail has been added. The 'Female Asylum' (for discarded mistresses) is similarly drawn but less ramshackle; the women looking from the windows are altered; Lady Hertford replaces Mrs. Fitzherbert: the words are as before, but '. . . his Poor F' becomes 'his Poor H'. On the roof, in place of two cats as supporters of the inverted feathers and coronet, are three cats with a (heraldic) scroll and a chamber-pot. The tail of the procession (Sheridan and the wagon 'For Yarmouth . . .') is omitted.

"George IV, dressed as a monk, stoops over Lady Conyngham (right), placing a hand on her breast. He is clean-shaven, his whiskers, inscribed 'Transferred Whiskers', form a border to a bald head, giving the effect of a tonsure. She is décolletée, dressed in white, with white drapery from her head, suggesting a travesty of a nun (cf. British Museum Satires No. 5177). He says: "Speak freely thou Cunning-one, and by St George, I will give thee Absolution--(let me see) a Faux-Pas, is no deadly sin, and loving other men, it is our duty to love each other." She says: "Since my Conversion (Holy Father) I feel much lighter you have put a new conscience into me." They are large half length figures, hiding much of the background.

Abstract:
"Queen Charlotte, an ugly old woman, sits enthroned on a dais (right), facing the Regent, who stands, wearing a royal robe over fantastic dress, with a turban-coronet surmounted by tall feathers. Three lean and ugly ladies-in-waiting stand round the dais, one proffering a huge box of 'Royal Snuff' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 12066], into which the Queen avidly dips her hand. The Regent asks: "Madam I am at a loss what to tell the allied-soveriegns, if they should make bold to ask how and where is my R--l Wife?" She answers, holding snuff to her nose, "I/ advise you my Son, to say as little as convenient, or d--n it; say I am your R--l Wife." The arms of her throne are formed of fanged snakes, and the dais is polygonal, with concave sides; the shape perhaps signifying the Queen's crabbedness. Behind the Regent stands McMahon, burlesqued and obsequious, but grinning slyly. Behind him and on the extreme left stands Lord Yarmouth, much amused, who asks: "Mc What say you to all this." McMahon: "The least I say my Lord the better"."--British Museum online catalogue

The Queen, who wears a small crown and royal robes, is handsome, affectionate, and unrecognizable. Her foot is on the royal footstool, and the crown is beside her.

On a projecting print is 'Marks fect', which serves as signature. The King's left arm is extended towards a crowd of angry and weeping women who are in a landscape which serves as background. Five in the forefront wear coronets. These say: "Oh! the wicked deceiver he shall know that women are either Angels or Devils"; "Oh! the Jerry Sneak" [from Foote's 'Mayor of Garratt']; "Let me come past, let me come past I'm going to drown'd myself"; "I shall hang myself"; "I wont go home to the Old Stick of my husband he can do nothing for me"; "Who would have thougt [sic] it after I experienced so much of his favour."

"George IV sits on the throne, surrounded by kneeling women; he takes the hand of Lady Conyngham, who proffers their address: "Loyal Address of the Married Ladies." She says: "We the humble and Loyal Married Ladies feel ourselves bound in due veneration to your most sacred person to present to you our sincere thanks for the many tokens of Love we the Loyal Married Ladies have laid under and we humbly acknowledge the favours our Husbands as [sic] experienced through the medium of us the Loyal Married Ladies!!!--" Behind her, a second lady, resembling Lady Hertford, looks startled. With them is a third, perhaps Mrs. Quentin. Behind the throne, which he clasps, stands Hertford (or Conyngham, cf. British Museum Satires No. 13847) holding a staff topped by antlers; he gapes at the speaker, saying, "I never heard a speech from a Lady so Cunning--." The King adds "Hum!" On his right stands Bloomfield, looking slyly sideways at his master. Both wear frilled muslin boudoir-caps. There is no dais, and on the right two grovelling women kiss, one the King's left foot, the other his thigh. A third kneels beside them.

Abstract:
"A plump young woman stands with feet together bending before the wind, and holding down the short (muslin) skirt of her high-waisted décolletée dress. The wind makes it define her plump posterior and she says, "La, Bless me how cool it is." Her brightly coloured ankle-boots have a border of swan's-down. Two absurd fops walking close behind inspect her with amusement, one using an eyeglass says: "It is certainly more gratifying to view, than the Regents Bomb!!!!!!" [see British Museum Satires No. 12799, &c.]. The other says: "I think she intends it as an opposition, to that in St James's Park." One wears a long braided coat to the ground, the other loose trousers and narrow coat-tails which blow round his legs. Both wear stocks, collars, small hats, and fluffed-out hair like those of the dandies in British Museum Satires No. 12840. On the right a couple walk off to the right, in difficulties with an umbrella. The woman's dress is well above her knees; the man wears wide trousers tied in at the ankle, and coat-tails like streamers of ribbon. Farther from the spectator, and walking from right to left is a young woman followed by a little negro foot-boy. She holds on her bonnet, and holds down her very short skirt in front, saying, "What a rude wind this is, old [sic] fast behind Mung." He holds down the hem of her skirt, and carries her reticule; he answers: "Yes, Miss'e I wont let Loose if you dont." In the background, behind the rails, a man chases his hat, a woman holds an umbrella which is inside out, and sees her bonnet blow away."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
