Abstract:
"The Duke of Clarence dances with a tall thin girl (right), holding both her hands; they face each other in profile. He is unrecognizable, a plainly dressed short and obese John Bull. She wears a cross suspended from a long necklace. The room, with boarded floor and small musicians' gallery, suggests an English provincial assembly-room rather than a Russian palace. Two couples stand against the wall (left), a lady and her partner sit on a bergère (right); a man stands near them. Two of the men have moustaches, as an indication that they are foreigners. All are much amused at the ill-matched partners."--British Museum online catalogue

Design in an oval. 'Cits' fish in a small piece of water bordered by a fence with a high railing on the left, beyond which is a road flanked by a high wall. Across the water (right) is a house with a high-pitched roof. Five men, three of whom are smoking, fish in the foreground in close proximity, two others on the farther side; an eighth (left) approaches carrying his rod.

Print shows a hideous old maid standing at right before her chair, supported on a crutched stick, as she addresses a comic doctor at left, who faces her, much disconcerted, with his gold-headed cane pressed to his chin. Her dress is antiquated, with high-heeled shoes; one foot is swollen with "Gout", the other with "Chilblains", and is also distorted with "Corns". Her person and costume are covered with the names of diseases in appropriate places: "Lightness" (on a feather nodding from her head), "Head Ache", "Stupor", "Dizziness", "Palsy", "Ague", "Sore Throat", "St Vit. Dance", "Asthma", . etc. Medicine bottles on a table beside her are labelled "Miss Grunt" and "T- Grunt". A little dog, shaved in the French manner, barks at the doctor. The room is a comfortably furnished parlour, with an iron balcony outside a window reaching to the floor, with a background of trees

Abstract:
"A mêlée, in which British soldiers put Frenchmen to flight. In the foreground (left) a burly grenadier prods with his bayonet a ragged man from whose head falls a large sirloin and its dish which he had been trying to carry off. The man shouts; "Oh! Jean Bull vill you not let me have one little bit of Beef??!" [A catch-phrase, cf. British Museum Satires No. 5790.] John answers: "No, No, I'll be d--d if you take the Roast Beef with you." At their feet are a sack of coin, baskets of provisions, wine, bread; a large pot of 'soup meagre' is overturned. On the right a Highlander beside a cannon with a gun-carriage inscribed 'N', seizes a French ragamuffin by his long pigtail, and raises his sword, saying, "Stand out O' the way loons whilst I tak your Last Cannon (see British Museum Satires No. 12069)." In the middle distance French soldiers flee (left to right) before a bayonet charge from men wearing shakos. On a hill behind (left), Wellington on a curvetting white charger surveys the scene; a soldier stands beside him holding a Union flag; both wave their hats. A pendant figure on the right is Joseph Bonaparte fleeing to the right on a galloping ass, his crown falling from his head, his hair rising, and his hands together as if in prayer; he looks behind in terror, exclaiming: "O vat de devil vill Brother Nap say?!!" Beside him a signpost points 'To France'. In the centre a man holds up Marshal Jourdan spiked on his bayonet. Jourdan shrieks: "Oh! My Batoon (his baton falls from his hand)." The soldier answers: "it's oh your Bottom I think"."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Napoleon, a little figure with a big head, stands with legs astride, head turned to the left, hair on end; his arms are extended, fingers spread, mouth open as if shrieking. He has a grotesque profile with corvine nose and wears high jack-boots with large spurs. At his feet lies a broken baton inscribed 'Magic Wand'. Five allies threaten him at point-blank range, and from a circle of cloud an arm emerges holding a conical 'Allied Extinguisher' above his head. On the extreme left Wellington aims a blunderbuss, saying, "Take a good aim at the Head Gentlemen, & we shall soon settle the Business." On Wellington's left stands Francis I, aiming a small pistol; by his head are the words: 'A way Mr Boney the Hand of Justice [see No. 12247] will put your Night Cap on at last.' On the extreme right a fat Dutchman, wearing a conical cap as in No. 12105, stands behind a small cannon holding a lighted match and a cannon-ball inscribed 'Orange Boven'; he says: "I'll deal out my Oranges to him Wholesale." Beside him are piled cannon-balls inscribed 'Orange'. In his hat are orange ribbons inscribed 'Orange Boven' and a tobacco-pipe. Next him the Tsar leans forward, aiming a large pistol; he says: "I'll rattle a few Snow Balls at his Cranium." On Alexander's right stands Bernadotte, aiming a small pistol; he says: "By gar we shall mak de head look like de plomb Pudding." All but the Dutchman wear uniform with cocked hats. A background of smoke or cloud is indicated."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A scene in the Empress's dressing-room. Marie Louise is horror-struck at the appearance of Napoleon who advances towards her in profile astride the back of a crawling Mameluke; he is held up by two other Mamelukes who support his arms and shoulders. He is terribly emaciated and appears moribund. He wears uniform; his legs, feet, and hands are swathed in bandages, his (former) ear and nose covered with black patches. The crawling Mameluke, presumably Roustan, holds out a bottle containing a pointed nose, and labelled 'Le Nez de l'Empereur'. Immediately behind Napoleon and his three supporters are two kneeling Mamelukes, each reverently holding a tasselled cushion supporting a bottle; one being labelled 'Les Doights [sic] de l'Empereur Napole . . .', the other, 'Les Oreilles de l'Empereur Napoleon'. Behind them (left) another Mameluke advances with a bottle labelled 'Les Doights du pied de l Empereur Bon . . .' The Mamelukes wear Turkish dress with turbans. Napoleon looks in tragic silence at his wife, who is seated in regal state but turns aside weeping with violent gestures of despair. A small terrestrial globe decorates her chair; her foot rests on a stool in the form of a flattened polar hemisphere on which the word 'Brit[ain]' is visible. Over her low-cut dress is an ermine-bordered robe clasped with a fleur-de-lis. She is supported by an emaciated court-lady, with a patched face, proffering a smelling-bottle, whose profile and a small crown show that she is one of Napoleon's sisters; two other ladies, wearing crowns, stand behind the Empress, registering consternation. A less conspicuous lady weeps. On the Empress's right kneels the Governess of the King of Rome, Mme de Montesquiou, holding the screaming child, and weeping noisily. He registers angry terror at the sight of his father; his little crown has fallen off. His features, though fore-shortened and distorted, resemble those of his father, cf. British Museum satires no. 11719. He wears an ermine-trimmed robe over his childish tunic and breeches. Behind the Governess is a draped dressing-table, the drapery decorated by a large fleur-de-lis, and the toilet boxes ornamented with crowns. A terrified monkey climbs up the mirror, clutching at the crown which surmounts it, and looking over its shoulder at the shocking spectacle presented by the Emperor. On the extreme right a lap-dog stands on a cushion barking furiously at Napoleon. On the ground on the extreme left are two large round coffers, one inscribed 'Coffre Pour la Bijoutère [sic] Russe', the other expectantly open. Voluminous draperies on the left and right, supported on the right by a pillar add to the regal character of the room."--British Museum online catalogue
