- Abstract:
- "A central design, with four small vignettes: [1] '"Church & State"--' A bishop (right) and a layman take wine together at opposite ends of a dinner-table over which hangs a gas chandelier. Three bloated footmen stand stiffly; behind the host (right) is a sideboard laden with plate. A Gillrayesque picture of a papal procession extends along the wall (an allusion to Emancipation, see No. 15658). [2] 'The Shop for Bargains!--' A coal-shed, a ragged child holds out her apron for 'Half a peck of Coals, & let em be good, for Mother says, that penny coal I had yesterday was only a Slate'. The man, holding a shovel and a small measure, answers 'Slate was it?! then I'm sure she's no call to grumble you could'nt a got so much slate at the Stationers under a Shilling!' [3] 'Corporal Punishment'. A fat fellow, plodding uphill, stops to mop his head: 'They tell me I shall find a good deal of difficulty in getting my fat down!--but I 'fegs I find a good deal of difficulty in getting it Up!!' [4] 'Taken in Tow--a Scene on a Rope walk--' A beadle seizes a rope-maker who has a bundle of tow round his waist. [5] 'An Unthankful fellow--' A countryman sits in the stocks in the rain, his right wrist shackled to a post, scowling at a fat beadle who faces him under an umbrella: 'What! want to go?!!! after we have taken all this trouble with you! ungrateful man, hav'nt we warmed your back?! hav'nt we provided you with Board & Lodging?! & now! hav'nt you even washing included? what more can you want?! do you want a band of music?! or did you expect that we were to find you in Rose water & toothpicks?!!!'"--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Design in an irregular oval border to which four scrolls are attached: ‘To the Work House, To the Mad-House, To the Gaol, The Gibbet'. The shop is ornate and pilastered, lit by a double gas chandelier. The customers, dregs of the town, stand at the counter, within the toothed circle of a huge man-trap on the floor. A drunken man in the remnants of fashionable clothes, takes a glass from the barmaid (right). She is outwardly comely, but her fashionable dress, a smiling mask, and gloves, conceal a skeleton, revealed by a skull which grins from her shoulder, and the bones of a foot and ankle. Beside her is a book: ‘Open Gin Shop The Way to Wealth'. An old hag drinks, another gives gin to an infant in her arms; a little girl drains a glass, and a tiny child clamours at the counter. On the counter stands a small cask on which sits a skeleton: Bacchus with bottle and glass. On the left stands Death (who has set the trap), a skeleton dressed as a London watchman; he holds up an hour-glass in place of lantern; he holds a javelin which points ominously to a trap-door in the boards at his feet. He says: ‘I shall have them all dead drunk presently! They have nearly had their last glass'. On the extreme right behind the barmaid is a doorway framing a ring of little demons dancing round a spirit-still; a skull grins from the transparent retort; below the floor is a dark space: ‘Spirit Vaults'. The casks in the shop are coffins. A huge one is ‘Old Tom' [gin, especially if good and strong]. The others are ‘Deady's Cordial' [Deady was a well-known distiller], ‘Kill Devil' [rum, especially if new], ‘Blue Ruin' [bad gin], ‘Gin & Bitters'. On the wall are two placards: [1] a playbill, ‘Drury Lane Theatre, Road to Ruin [cf. British Museum Satires No. 8073] --Life in London [cf. British Museum Satires No. 14320], Devil to Pay' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 7908]; [2] ‘Wanted a few Members to complete A Burial Society'."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "In the foreground are Wellington and Peel as grave-diggers; Eldon, a stout elderly Hamlet wearing a cloak, stands (left) holding a skull, and saying: "Here's fine revolution and [sic] we had the trick to see it." Wellington stands in a grave, in profile to the left, wielding a pickaxe. His shirt-sleeves are rolled up, he wears a small cap; his military coat, cocked hat, and sword lie beside him. He says to Peel: 'Come take off the Orange Peel [see British Museum Satires No. 15683] quickly, I can't get on without you.' Peel, wearing garments of green slashed with orange, is about to take off an orange waistcoat (cf. British Museum Satires No. 15701). He answers 'I'll change my self before you can say Jack Robinson.' On the extreme right are the posterior and left leg of George IV (as in British Museum Satires No. 12803) who is scurrying off to the right, beside a tombstone which serves as sign-post and is inscribed 'To Hanover' [see British Museum Satires No. 15704]. In the middle distance (right) is the funeral procession, the coffin carried by four bearers with a pall inscribed 'Constitution 1829'. On it stand a large crown and mitre with papers: 'Magna Charta' and 'Bill of Rights'. It is followed by one mourner in cloak and scarf (J. B.), who covers his face with a despairing gesture, exclaiming 'Oh! dear! Oh! dear, what will become of Mrs Bull, & all my little Bulls?-- We shall have nothing but the Popes Bulls. Oh my--' Behind are (left) St. Paul's and (right) York Minster. The pediment of the former is inscribed 'St Pauls now St Patricks' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 11898]. On the steps, about to enter, is the Pope, rollicking indecently between a monk (left) and O'Connell (right) in wig and gown. The Pope: 'Och! my darling you have done the job. fal lal la!!' O'Connell: 'Huzza! Huzza! Ould Ireland for ever! Huzza!!!' Behind them (left) capers a ragged Irishman, playing bagpipes and shouting 'St Patrick day in the morning!! Och! my Darlings!' An Irish crowd is indicated in the background. Farther from the spectator is York Minster, blazing furiously, flames and smoke covering the sky; an incendiary with a firebrand (Martin, see British Museum Satires No. 15658) rushes from the building, striding across a paper inscribed 'Blanco [scored through] Black is White'."--British Museum online catalogue
