- Abstract:
- "John Bull, a hideously carbuncled 'cit', looks down grinning at a semicircle of men on a much smaller scale who surround his half-length figure. They are (left to right) Napoleon, wearing a huge bicorne, who looks up to say 'Ships. Colonies and Commerce'. A man in military uniform, quite unlike Alexander, his back to Napoleon, says: "Russian Vengeance attend John Bull. A fat Dutch burgher puffs smoke towards John, saying, III eternally smoke him". A scowling man in civilian dress with tousled hair says: "Let him tremble at the name of America". Prussia, a handsome military officer in place of the damaged soldier who after Tilsit represented Frederick William III in English caricature, says: "Beware of Prussia". A similar officer (Francis I) says: "Austria will never Pardon him". A Spaniard wearing a cocked hat says: "Spanish Fury overtake him". A scowling face says: "Let him beware of Denmark". John says: "Dont make such a riot you little noisy Brats, all your bustle to me is no more than a storm in a Chamber pot"."--British Museum online catalogue

- "A satirical emblematic design; at centre, 'The Rock of the True Old English Constitution', on which sits a small figure of John Bull on a chair, holding a tankard and a pipe, saying, 'Well here I am I John Bull - thrown rather in the back ground this is the blessed effect of parties their pockets are full, and mine are empty. - however - Grievings a Folly so let us be be [sic] jolly - My Service to you.' To left stands a large grinning figure, 'Opposition Man', his hands in his pockets, with papers lettered 'Jobbing', 'Corruption', and with sums of money; at right stands a similar figure, 'Ministerial Man', also grinning and with hands in his pockets, one of which is lettered 'The Cash The Cash'. With feet on the shoulders of the latter and above Bull is a spreadeagled, large grinning figure, saying 'No Party Man', whose pocket is inscribed 'a little more money if you please'; on his head is balanced a cushion-like object lettered 'Promises', which supports the banner, 'Reform'; on top of this is a similing head wearing a ruff, fool's cap and ass's ears."--British Museum online catalogue
