- Abstract:
- "Half length portraits of Dr. Willis and Sheridan in close proximity, repeated twice, the doctor being on the extreme left and right, the two Sheridans in the middle. One couple (left) is inscribed 'Sunday', the other (right) 'Saturday'. The doctor in both cases answers a question in a label which projects into the design from an unseen inquirer: 'Doctor, how is your Patient to Day'. On the left he answers with a contented expression: "Better thank God"; his neighbour angrily shouts "Damnation". On the right he has an expression of melancholy anxiety, the head of his cane held to his lip; he answers: "Rather worse - Sir - ". Sheridan, with a satisfied and cunning smile, says, "Ha - ha - rare news"."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Burke (left), a very thin 'lay porter', addresses Thurlow (right), who is very obese and holds in his left a heart inscribed 'Humanity', from which a piece has been broken. He is Father Paul in Sheridan's 'Duenna' (III. v). They face each other in profile. Burke is dressed as a monk (cf. BMSat 6026), a rosary with a cross inscribed 'Impeachment' hangs from his girdle. In his hand is a paper inscribed 'Account of expences attending a Trial. . . Esqr.' He says, "We ask no more than is needfull, and so little have we had, that we are almost starved". Thurlow answers, "It's false; you feast and Gormandize, whilst we are wasting". (The words are adapted from 'The Duenna'.) On his goblet, inscribed 'Pleasure', is a scene of persons being sabred, while a body hangs from a gibbet. Behind Burke and Thurlow is a curtain which cuts off part of the room. Above it (centre) is the top of a jewelled turban, as worn by Hastings in caricature, surmounted by feathers inscribed 'Treasury Warrants'. From it ascends vertically a sword to whose blade are attached horizontal bunches of leaves; from these hang four hats inscribed respectively 'Middlet[on]', 'Impey', 'Holt', 'Ben'. A man (? Burges) looks through the curtain at Burke; in his hand are two scrolls: 'Profus[ion]', 'Oeconomy'. On the wall (left) is a picture of a bull inscribed: 'Decided either way Poor John is sure to pay.' His blood gushes out in a copious fountain into a pit inscribed 'Private Defence', while from another wound it merely drips into a hole inscribed 'Public Prosecution'. The frame is inscribed 'John Bull. Paymaster'. On the right is a placard, inscribed 'Good Entertainment Tuesdays, Wednesdays & Thursdays' (cf. BMSats 7313, 7314) and surmounted by a crown."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- Burke (centre) and Fox (right) raise above their heads cleavers and marrow-bones with which they appear about to smite a woman and child who have fallen to the ground. A man stoops, stretching out his hands in an attempt to protect them. George Hanger (left) stands holding up his cleaver in both hands, leaving no doubt that his intention is to strike. The attitude of Burke and Fox, though threatening, may indicate a vigorous performance of the traditional election music of the butchers

- Abstract:
- "Hastings stands in a two-wheeled cart under a gibbet. Fox places the rope round his neck; Burke also stands in the cart dressed as a parson, in a long gown and bands, holding an open book. Sheridan (right) pushes the cart from behind, looking at North (left) who holds the horse's head. Large scrolls issue from the mouths of all five and are an important part of the design: Hastings says, "Walpole said every Man had his Price but Alass! I never could find out any of your Prices." Burke says "A Poor Atonement this for Millions &c." Fox says "A Poor Atonement do you call it Ned! Egad it would have been adevil of a Job for me, if my F------r had made such an atonement for------Unaccounted Millions." (Lord Holland was called in a City Address to the King 'the public defaulter of unaccounted millions'. North says, "Dont you remember Sheri------that my now Rt Honble Friend often threat'ned to bring me to this or the Block". Sheridan answers, "Psha Fred - you know that was only to frighten you from your Station - &c - but drive on, or our friend Edmund will stand preaching here all day.""--British Museum online catalogue
