- "Lord Chatham (left) flies across the Channel towards the English coast on a wooden horse, mule, or ass with feathered wings. Two little puppets labelled 'Dutch Dolls' are placed before him on his saddle. From two ends of a rope passing across the animal's back fly out (left) five dismantled ships inscribed 'Castles in the Air Wooden Ones', and (right) three large labels inscribed respectively: 'Walcheren Beveland'; 'Plan and Fortifications of Flushing'; 'Loss in Killed & Wounded Sick List'. The animal emits a blast from its rump inscribed 'Rockets Devil take the hindmost'. Chatham, with drawn sword, blandly addresses John Bull and his wife who stand on the shore (right) looking up at him: "Here I am my Dear Johnny escaped from Fire, Water, Plague, Pestilence & Famine My Fireworks have given general Satisfaction abroad-I must now Couch on a bed of Roses [see British Museum Satires No. 10558, &c]- and hope when I awake to be rewarded with a Pension and Dukedom for brilliant Services". John, a fat 'cit', holding out a cudgel and clenching his fist, says: "General Cheathem flying back as I foretold garnish'd with dross and Dutch Metal Where is the Ten Million of British Bullion you Scarecrow-the Sinking Fund suits your talents better than Sinking of Ships". His fat wife, holding up a little parasol, exclaims: "Lord Mr Bull what a Man of Mettle it is". Sailing towards land is a small vessel, a sail inscribed 'Commodore Cur-Tis'; the only occupant is Curtis, waving his hat and shouting: "A New Contract for Mouldy Buisciuts-Expeditions for ever Huzza". On the horizon (left) land is indicated, with buildings and a flag; above are the words 'Mortality at Flushing'."--British Museum online catalogue

- "Above, Mrs. Clarke stands on a round dais, under a canopy, receiving her clients. These are headed by six military officers; the foremost makes a sweeping bow, cocked hat in hand. Next is a fat parson holding a money-bag inscribed 800; behind is an obese doctor, with three other elderly men. She says to them: Ye Captains and ye Colonels-ye parsons wanting place, Advice I'll give ye gratis and think upon your case, If there is possibility, for you I'll raise the dust, But then you must excuse me-if I serve myself the first. Below, Mrs. Clarke, much décolletée, looks from an open ground-floor window of a London house, to see a fashionably dressed man, Taylor, walking towards her holding a sealed packet. He looks over his shoulder at a yokel with a cudgel, who asks: I say Measter Shoe-maker where be you going in such a woundy hurry? Taylor answers: Dont speak to me fellow you should never pry into State affairs. Mrs. Clarke says: Open the door John here comes the Ambassador Now for the dear delightful Answer. Behind the yokel, evidently John Bull, is his dog. On the right is a house with a door-plate inscribed Mrs Weston."--British Museum online catalogue

- 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
