Six scenes narrating the fuss caused by a man's progression from minor cold to supposed major illness and then sudden recovery. The man's initial plea for nursing with his cold leads onto the summoning of a doctor and procurement of an abundance of potions. The terminal illness which seems to develop throws the houshold into grief-stricken turmoil and the doctors into confusion. The patients miraculous recovery naturally surprises everyone. Above the scenes is a skeleton emerging from a doctors' hat holding a cane and medicine bottle

At his feet are many ducks, all angrily quacking: 'quack!!'; 'quack!!!'; or (one) 'cruel quack'. He says, quoting a nursery rhyme, 'Come, Dilly, Dilly, Dilly, come and be killed!!!' The principal board is headed 'To the Public', with the Royal Arms. Inscriptions: 'A Receipt of my Grandmothers | Decline Arrested | Consumption prevented | A Cure for all diseases | By The Simple | process of | Skinning Alive | protected by the | NOBILITY | and a House-Full of | Ladies | of the first Distinction | Dr Needy, Harley-Street | NO QUACKERY'.

King William IV dressed as a sailor dances in the centre of a semicircle of ministers who have black bodies and are partially draped. Among the ministers are Peel and Scarlett on the left, Lyndhurst and Wellington on the right both of whom wear nose-rings. Scarlett encircles Ellenborough, who, with Sugden, is behind the King. Their tribal dance celebration alludes to the relief that the ministers must have felt to be able to retain their positions with the new reign. William IV was a popular King and a stark contrast to George IV and was liable to wild bursts of passion as is suggested here. He and the Duke of Wellington (then prime minister) got on very well, hence the retainment of his ministers. He is dressed in sailor garb in reference to his years in the navy. The tribal dress of the ministers refers to the far-flung shores that William visited

"Frontispiece from 'Metropolitan Grievances; or, a serio-comic glance at minor mischiefs in London and its Vicinity', 1812. A crowded street scene, with the corner of a tripe-butcher's on the right: 'Gilbert. Gall Tripem[an]', a lean-to shop, in which the butcher bargains over sheeps' trotters and offal with an elderly woman. Outside this is a pavement along which a little boy bowls a hoop between the legs of an elderly lady on the extreme right who totters on high-heeled shoes, having dropped a lap-dog from her muff. A little chimney-sweep is much amused. Above the butcher's a woman at a window empties a pan: the contents splash on to the pent-house roof and pour through a spout over the white stockings of a fashionably dressed passer-by who registers horror, holding up an eyeglass. The stream splashes the unconscious woman who chaffers with the tripe-man. A street-lamp projecting from the corner of the house is broken. Over the uneven cobbles an old woman pushes a barrow of cat's-meat, shrieking her wares; two dogs bark at the barrow, a cat miaows. Near her stands a ragged, bare-legged man, with grievously twisted and misshapen legs (showing the effects of rickets); he sells 'The Last Dying Sp[eech] . . .', with a print of bodies on a gibbet, shouting from a cavernous mouth in a subhuman face. Behind him a jovial crossing-sweeper plies his broom. On the left is a caricature shop, the window-panes filled with prints, among which one of 'the Hottentot Venus', Saartjie Baartman, see No. 11577, &c., is conspicuous. There are also large comic heads. A fashionably dressed woman leaves the shop, holding her nose (assailed by the cat's-meat). Four men gaze at the window; one is a countryman whose pocket is being picked. Heavy flower-pots are about to fall on their heads from a projecting ledge. A woman leans from a first-floor window trying vainly to stop the fall, and letting her watering-pot discharge its contents on the still unconscious window-gazers. On the wall is the disk of the 'Sun' Fire Office, with the date '1812'. The next house is a small gin-shop with a bunch of grapes for its sign and the inscription '. . Arsnic--Best Cordial Gin'. Three dram-drinkers stand at the door. The last house, a corner one, is dilapidated and shored up with a beam. The ground floor belongs to 'D. Dip Tallow Chandler'; against the window is a stall or bulk. The top floor is that of 'Ling--Dyer &c'; a pole projects from a window with dyed garments and a length of material hanging out to dry. On the corner of the house is the notice: 'F P 20 Ft'. In the background the dome of St. Paul's rises above the roofs of houses in the middle distance."--British Museum online catalogue

"John Bull, a fat "cit", is beset by descending water covered with the word 'Tax', many times repeated, in which dogs, cats, and pitchforks fall with violence. His eyes and spectacles are transfixed by a pitchfork inscribed 'Window Tax'; the shaft of another inscribed 'Malt & Hops Tax' sticks in his bleeding mouth, dislodging teeth. His paunch is pierced with a third fork; the handle, inscribed 'Tax ...' [&c. &c], supports an angry cat, spitting 'Tax ...'
