"A caricature portrait of the Marquis of Buckingham (George Grenville Nugent Temple) walking in profile to the left. He wears military uniform with cocked hat and spurred Hessians, and is enormously obese, his sword-belt grotesquely clasped across his paunch. His hand is on the hilt of his sword. He was Lord Lieutenant of Bucks. Unlike other caricatures of Buckingham."--British Museum online catalogue and "George identified the subject as George Nugent-Temple-Grenville, Marquess of Buckingham (1753-1813) but it is, rather, his son Richard Temple-Nugent-Brydges-Chandos-Grenville, first duke of Buckingham and Chandos (1776-1839), known until 1813 as Earl Temple."--Curator's comments, British Museum online catalogue

A satire on a recent performance of Timor the Tartar depicts a horde of Tartar horsemen, wearing turbans with aigrettes and holding scimitars, as they attack a classic Apollo figure who looks back with horror as he flees, his broken bow in his left hand and his helmet and quiver at his feet. They are lead in the attack by a lady on horseback and wearing medieval-style costume. Apollo appears to be punched in the head by a man in the background, wearing boxing gloves. On the right Kemble is about to thrust a piece labelled "Cocktail ginger" into the horse's rear as he lifts its tail. In the center foreground a man shoots a blunderbuss, which is supported by a pile of books with titles: American, New Musical Pieces, Shipwreck, etc. From the muzzle issue words and papers: Plan of new tragedy, Poetry for an oratorio, Remarks on light & shade, etc

"The Ministry defend 'The Citadel of Office' behind a high stone wall against different Opposition groups. The chief defence is by the tiny Perceval who fires a cannon from whose muzzle issue three heads intended for Wellesley, Ryder, and Melville. In the centre the wall is breached, and Eldon looks from the gap, weeping; behind him is the Woolsack, inscribed 'Wool'. Lord Grey, on tiptoe, reaches up to seize his gown, while he flourishes a paper: 'Report of Physicians 1804'. Erskine, quite bald and with his (former) Chancellor's gown over his arm, reaches up to tug at the Chancellor's wig. Seated on the wall at the lowest point of the breach is Yorke in back view; in his pocket is a 'List of my Friends Cambridge' [see No. 11535]. He hands down a large seal bearing an anchor to Whitbread who straddles a cask floating in water which adjoins the 'Citadel' on the right. Whitbread takes this emblem of the Admiralty, flourishing a tankard (cf. No. 10414). On the left of the breach Sir Vicary Gibbs, brandishing a rolled document inscribed 'Law of Libel', defends himself vigorously against Romilly, who drags at his gown and has a similar weapon inscribed 'New Statutes'. In Romilly's pocket is a paper: 'New Bankrupt Laws'. Farther to the left the three Grenvilles, Lord Temple, the Marquis of Buckingham, and Lord Grenville, level a battering-ram against the wall. The ram has a ram's head, as in heraldry, but with a human face, and is intended for Ponsonby, leader of the Opposition in the Commons. On one horn is spiked a paper: 'Catholic Emancipation'. Between them and Romilly, little Lord Lansdowne (Petty) sits on the ground squirting a large syringe over his shoulder at the wall. Next the ram Moira, stiff and aloof, holds up a fox with the head of Lord Holland (nephew and political heir of Fox), whose fore-paws, holding a paper of 'Resolutions', have reached the top of the wall but are caught in a trap. On the extreme left. Tierney bestrides a wooden horse whose hind-legs are broken off; it is inscribed 'Finance'. A bundle inscribed 'New Budget for 1811' is strapped to his back; he fires a pistol inscribed 'Bullion Report', but he is about to be thrown, so that the pistol points backwards over his head. Between Tierney and the wall are Burdett and Wardle. The former is flinging mud at the defenders, at Moira, and at Tierney. ..."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The little King of Rome sits in his cradle, between the proudly protecting arms of Marie Louise, who kneels behind him. The infant has an adult head resembling that of his father, and a tail; he wears a replica of Napoleon's cocked hat. He holds out his arms to Napoleon, who sits by the fire, holding out a napkin to dry. The Emperor looks fondly at the child, saying, "Rejoice O ye Frenchmen, the Fruits of my Labour has produced a little Image of myself, I shall for the love I owe to your Country instill in my Noble Ofspring the same principles of Lying thieving treachery Letchery Murder and all other foul deeds for which I am now Worshipped and Adored". Behind and between the Emperor and Empress, a bishop (? Cardinal Fesch) kneels over the infant, his hands folded as if in prayer; he repeats the words of Henry VI to Gloucester before his murder by the latter: "The Owl shriek'd at thy Birth, an evil Sight. The Night Crow cry'd foreboding luckless Time. Dogs howl'd and hideous Tempests shook down Trees. The Raven rook'd her on the Chimney Top And chattering Pies in Dismal Discord sung." ['3 Henry VI', v. 6.] On the fire (left) boils a saucepan inscribed 'French Blood'; little demons ascend in the steam rising from it. The mantelshelf is supported by carved demoniac creatures, one having a satyr's head, the other that of a Fury with snaky locks. A similar creature supports the bars of the grate. On the mantelshelf are imperial crowns, the iron crown of Italy (as in British Museum Satires No. 10432), and a papal tiara. The cradle has a crown at the head, and at the foot a grotesque mask inscribed 'Devils Darlind' [sic]. Behind (right), a lady, evidently Josephine, sits up in bed, holding a wine-glass; she looks towards the child quoting Ophelia's words: "Ah Woe is me, seeing what I have seen and seeing what I see". Near her stands an ugly old nurse, holding a syringe; an infant's chair is beside her; it is ornamented with a crown and inscribed 'Prince Skinny Boneys Caching Chair'. On the ground (left) is a sauce-boat inscribed 'Bitter Cup'."--British Museum online catalogue

In the bottle is a negro's face; the contents explode violently, with inscriptions in the explosion: 'a Jaw breaker--Fibbing--Fibbing--More Punishment, A Floorerer, --A Nobber A Doubler, --Want of Wind A Left Flush, --A Rally Sparring for Wind.' Behind him is a table round which sit and stand raffish-looking men, drinking, cheering, and smoking. A punch-bowl is on the table, empty bottles on the floor. Captain Barclay stands with one foot on the table raising his glass, to give the toast: "Gentlemen--the Milling Champion at Thisselton Gap."
