Abstract:
"Eight designs in two rows, each with lines parodying 'the House that Jack built' etched above each. Some section of the bridge appears in Nos. 1-5. [1] Tiny French soldiers gallop across the bridge; a man punts in the rapidly flowing river. Behind is Leipzig, a walled town backed by hills. Above: "This is the Bridge that was blown into air." [2] Three men, wearing helmets and aprons, excavate a pit beside the bridge, from which a man looks down: "These are the Miners that had the care / Of mining the Bridge . . . [&c.]." [3] A Grenadier corporal holds a long match towards the covered pit; three tiny Grenadiers run across the bridge: "This is the Corporal, stout and strong, / Who fired the Mine with his match so long, / Which was made by the Miners . . . [&c.]." [4] A swaggering officer points at the ground, looking over his shoulder at the corporal, who runs forward with his match, saluting obsequiously: "This is the Colonel of Infantry, Who ordered the Corporal . . . [&c.]." [5] The colonel listens deferentially to an officer who whispers in his ear, pointing downwards: "This is the Marshal of high degree / Who whispered the Colonel.. .[&c.]." [6] Napoleon gallops from the battlefield, indicated by a drum in the foreground and bodies in the background: "This is the Emperor who scampered away, / And left the Marshal . . . [&c.]." [7] Refugees, including women with infants and an old farmer, make gestures of despair. Behind is the blazing town which more fugitives are leaving: "These are the Thousands who cursed the day, / Which made him Emperor ... [&c.]." [8] Four allied sovereigns in a tent consult over a map held between them. Alexander (left) sits on a camp-stool, the others stoop over the map: the King of Prussia is in back view, facing the Emperor of Austria. Bernadotte faces the Tsar: "These are the Monarchs so gen'rous and brave, / Who conquered the Tyrant, and Liberty gave, / To Thousands on Thousands . . . [&c.]"."--British Museum online catalogue

"Four elderly physicians fight wildly, flourishing their canes, in a room leading to that of the patient (right). One has fallen on his back, two others fight across him, each planting a foot on his chest; he clutches at the coat of one of these, shouting, "I say it is an exfoliation of the Glands, which has fallen on the membranous coats of the Intestines & must be thrown off by an Emetic." In his pocket is a letter: 'To Dr Emetic Upper B . . .' In the pocket of the man he clutches is a letter: 'To Dr Sudorific . . . sell. Squoe.' The latter answers the antagonist who has seized his neckcloth: "I say it is a pleurisie in the Thigh and must be Sweated away!" His adversary, 'Dr Drastic Cloacina Row', answers: "You are a blockhead! I say it is a nervous affection of the Cutis & the patient must immediately loose 18 ounces of blood and then take a powerfull Drastic." The fourth doctor (right) assails Drastic: "What are you quarrelling about! you are all wrong I say it is an inflamation on the os Sacrum, & therefore 14 blisters must be immediately applied to the part affected & the adjacents." His letter of identification is: 'To Dr Blister Cantheartic Pla . . .' Through the open door (right) the amused patient, in dressing-gown and night-cap, watches the fray from beside his bed, having just risen from a commode. He remarks: "I say Dame Nature has relieved me both of the Cause & Effects while these learned disputants are deciding the nature of my complaint-so I'll e'en be off to save both my money and my Life."--British Museum online catalogue

Two men, elderly and grotesque, stand one on each side of a double-bass, playing it simultaneously with great vigour; one (right) is left-handed. Behind the instrument stands a violinist, holding up fiddle and bow in his right hand, giving an agonized scream and stopping his ear with his finger. In the foreground lies a large open music-book: 'Double Bass Hum strum diddle dum'. On the wall is a picture of a little chimneysweep flourishing two brushes like drum-sticks behind the Hottentot Venus (see British Museum satires No. 11577), who capers along, pipe in one hand, staff in the other, her much-exaggerated posterior serving as a drum. A vase of flowers stands on a wall-bracket.'
