- Abstract:
- "A counterblast to British Museum Satires No. 14110, and an imitation of its manner, in the guise of a companion plate. As in that plate, a zebra with a man's head stands in an oval bandbox, but in profile to the right. The head is (presumably) Lord Conyngham; the creature is grey, scraggy rather than plump as before, and with much longer (ass's) ears. On it sits Lord Francis Conyngham; in place of the Queen's bandbox is a larger box, torn to show that it contains fur, and inscribed 'Lady Eliza[beth's] Muff Box'; this covers the rider from chest to thigh. In his right hand is a rolled document: 'Bishop [of Londo]n's golden rule Kings can do no wrong' [see British Museum Satires No. 14133]. The zebra's neck is encircled by necklaces of jewels; in place of the sieve in British Museum Satires No. 14110, a hand (the King's) from the right margin holds out a plate of jewels close to its voracious mouth. The lid of the bandbox in which it stands is inscribed 'Hertford [lightly scored through] Cunningham' [see British Museum Satires No. 13847]. The box, which is patterned with roses, is full of papers: 'Essays by exalted writers bought by the Pall Mall Booksell[er]'; 'Croker Poetical Slanders'; 'Malicious Anecdotes for John Bull', and a newspaper headed 'John Bull Sunday Mag . . .' Behind (right) is the Cottage with a group of stag, doe, and fawn, and (left) Windsor Castle."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "A halt for refreshment in the Egyptian desert. The Princess sits on Bergami's knee, her arm round his shoulder, while he caresses her lasciviously. They sit with their back to an ass which brays: "Oh Tempora!!" She is very décolletée and wears trousers, and a feathered cap. A large miniature of Bergami, see British Museum Satires No. 13858, dangles from her neck. Beside them on the ground is a basket of bottles, and overturned spirit-bottle and glass. A small boy, Willy Austin, stands staring at the pair, and blowing soap-bubbles. On the left, but disregarded, is Mahomet (see British Museum Satires No. 14119) performing a dance with flexed knees; he holds up a crescent and a piece of drapery, looking towards the pair to say: "in his signis Vincetes!!," parodying the words of Constantine's vision of the Cross. In the middle distance, beside a second ass, also braying, Louise Demont sits on the knee of 'the Jewish harper', see British Museum Satires No. 13856, the harp beside them."--British Museum online catalogue

A portrait of Queen Caroline hangs on the wall behind them, her face obscured by a purse(?) hanging from above the picture frame. An older woman (Lady Warwick?) stands on the right by an open door, glancing over sideways at the scene and saying "I shall retire: is Warwick come to this? Oh this Cunning-- poor Hertford, ho[w] I pity her well may she exclaim false Lothario." Roses are seen through the doorway on the right; a round table with decanters of 'Brandy' is seen on the left, in front of a large window with curtains
