Abstract:
"A fat Dutchman (right), with left leg raised high, has kicked Napoleon into the air, towards a large exulting Devil crouching before the flames of Hell (left). Napoleon's bicorne is falling to the ground, his sword flies up, attached to the belt. The Devil grasps Napoleon by the left ankle. He is a naked satyr with hairy legs, barbed tail, fierce talons, as in British Museum Satires No. 6283 by Rowlandson. The Dutchman holds a goblet above his head, in his left hand is a long tobacco-pipe. He wears the usual bulky breeches with short jacket, and has a big (orange) cockade in his high-crowned hat. In the background a second Dutchman lunges forward with a pitchfork pressed against the posterior of Joseph, who runs screaming towards the flames, his crown on the ground behind him. The scene is the sea-shore, with three ships (right) at anchor."--British Museum online catalogue

"In the foreground is a low cliff or bank overlooking the sands; from this four elderly men are eagerly and delightedly looking through telescopes at naked ladies disporting in the sea. An angry woman (right) tugs at the coat-tails of one of them; she has a tiny sunshade, and like her husband is grossly fat. Bathing machines are in the water, with hoods covering the steps to the sea. A fat bathing woman pushes a lady up the steps of a machine. Behind the spectators is a 'Circulating Library'; above the lower floors is a large balcony from which more men are gazing through telescopes. On the extreme right is a doorway placarded: 'Hot Sea Baths'; a fat man with a crutch walks in. In the background a jetty projects from the sands, with a windlass, and packages of goods. Behind are small vessels."--British Museum online catalogue

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

"A smiling bearded Cossack strides towards the spectator, spear in hand, with the left hand he places his conical furred cap over a tiny terrified Napoleon. He says: "I'll Extinguish Your little French-- Farthing--Rush light--Master Boney." Napoleon exclaims, trying to run away: "Death and Fury!--how I burn with Rage--those "Frightful--" Contempable [sic] Cossacks has Clouded all my hopes." They are on a plateau: the head of the Cossack's horse is on the extreme left; troops are marching on the plain, where a Cossack is galloping.

In the background a dense crowd is in procession, backed by the houses of the city; a bonfire burns unattended.

"A sea-monster (left) discharges flames and missiles against a British vessel, represented by a corner of the deck (right), the taffrail inscribed 'British Oak'. On this stands a sailor, clapping his right hand to his posterior; his left holds his sabre, inscribed 'British Steel', with which he steadies himself, the point resting on the deck. He looks over his shoulder at the monster with a contemptuous scowl. In his round hat is a broad blue ribbon inscribed in large letters 'True Blue Dreadnought'. The monster, or torpedo, is barrel-shaped, with fanged and gaping jaws, a huge eye, and smoke, flame, and thunderbolts rising from its nostrils. On its back stands a demon holding the American flag and pointing to a skeleton, Death, which stands, clenching its fists in a pugilistic attitude, in the flames rushing from the torpedo's jaws. The demon says to the skeleton: "Grapple him Citizen and I'll play one of my Infernal capers under his Bottom." The skeleton says to the sailor: "I'll tip you a Yankey Torpedo." The sailor: "Blow up my hull indeed-- you may Kiss my--tafferal--Mr Yankey doodle--"Shiver me--I'll tip you a taste of the Shannon and send you down to old Davy." From the torpedo's jaws, among the flames, come serpents; objects discharged against the ship are a cannon, pistol, powder-barrel, &c., all emitting fire, and also crowbar, scourge, chain-shot, spear, cross-bones, shears, hammer, pincers."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"Coates in a pose suggesting Harlequin in a fencing-match (and like that of the clown in British Museum Satires No. 9003), sits on the stage, his trunk almost at right angles to his legs which slant stiffly towards the stage-box (left).

He wears his jewelled hat with the enormous feathers, cloak, tunic, and sash, as in British Museum Satires No. 11769. He declaims Lothario's speech when he falls dying, after the duel with Altamont, beginning: "Oh Altamont! thy genius is the stronger, thou hast prevail'd . . ." [Rowe, 'Fair Penitent', iv. 1]. He lies on bright green ground, a garden scene with trees and skaters forming a background.
