"A toilet scene. The Regent stands in profile to the right at his dressing-table, rouging his cheek with a small brush. An attendant, resembling McMahon, laces the stays which in front resemble a waistcoat; he tugs at the lace, standing on a low stool, using one foot as a fulcrum against his master's posterior (cf. British Museum Satires No. 8287), a small buffer ornamented with goats' heads being attached to this foot. On the oval mirror which reflects the Prince's face sits a monkey, holding on its head a wig with a pyramid of curls above the forehead with large side-whiskers attached. The Prince's hair is similarly arranged. The Prince's tail-coat, in back view, is spreadeagled on a stand. On an ornate wall-bracket inscribed 'Bills' and 'Recetts' are two ornamental files, one filled with bills: 'hatters Bill', 'Poulterers Bill', 'Fishmongers B', 'Hair Dresser', 'Taylors Bill', 'Butchers Bill', 'Docters Bill', 'Silve smiths Bill'; the other empty. A bracket-clock, surmounted by a figure of Time shearing a triple ostrich plume, points to two o'clock (reversed). A round wall-mirror and candle-sconce is surmounted by a figure of Bacchus bestriding a cask. On the dressing-table are pots and jars of 'Tooth Powder', 'Rouge', 'Otto of Roses', and 'Secilian Wash for the Skin'. On the floor is a book, 'The Stripes Poem', which a small dog shaved like a poodle is befouling."--British Museum online catalogue

"A soldier, apparently on sentry duty on a castle rampart, embraces a pretty young woman, holding his cloak round her. He has whiskers and a moustache and wears a busby with aigrette and bag, indicating an hussar regiment. He wears a sword but his bayonetted musket leans against the wall behind him. The girl wears a curiously shaped cap, with two tails hanging down her back. An officer walking past stops to stare and snigger; behind him is a cannon in an embrasure. In the foreground (left) is a pile of cannon-balls."--British Museum online catalogue

"A corner of the stage at Drury Lane slants diagonally from left to right, showing part of the orchestra and pit (right) with part of two stage-boxes on the extreme right. The stage manager, Raymond, stands addressing the clamorous audience, while on the left a young man with ass's ears sits on a donkey which flourishes its heels so that they strike the lowered stage-curtain. The donkey brays "Ih ho Ih ho Ih ho," its hind-quarter is branded 'My Pegasus Buz'. Its rider recites: "Nor ever here your smiles would be represt, "Knew you the rival flames that fires our breast, "Flame, Fire and Flame!--sad--woe Neddy! Ladies and Gentlemen, My Papa's Pegasus is so full of fire and spirit that very few are capable of mounting him. for my self I never spoke but once & that was-- Unce logos but if you will give me leave to get on with my Papas Monologue I am positive you will pronounce it the prettiest piece of poetry produced for the purpose." Raymond says: "Ladies and Gentlemen, it was never the intention of the Proprietors to introduce Assess [sic] on these boards but as you seem entertained with their braying if it [is] your wish, we will procure some trainers from the other House as we are really ignorant in the management of thes [sic] Animals." Greeted by derisive cheers from the audience, Dr. Busby, also with ass's ears, leans from the upper stage-box, saying, "Ladies and Gentlemen, only hear My Son speak my Monologue written by myself the only one fit to be heard the committee are as ignorant of good Poetry a[s] I am of true criticism. I am a great writer reviews my sons works very clever indeed--writes my own life--well worth reading--my Life of Lucius Otrigger will astonish you now pray hear my Son speak my Monologue!--." A man behind him shouts: "Bravo! Go on! Go, on," and one in the crowded lower box applauds: "Bravo Apollo go on Go . . ." In the foreground a man in the pit shouts pointing to the ass: "Why don't you come down and get up behind don't you see he wants ballast." Six others address the son: "When you have done there--set those Epigrams to Music young Apollo!"; "Off Off Off Off"; "he will be off presently if Neddy kicks so!"; "Go on Go on"; "Speak out you should have brought your Voice with you"; "hear him hear him." The orchestra is empty of performers, but the music scores are headed 'The Judgement of Midas' [O'Keefe's play]. Three large papers lie on the stage inscribed respectively: [1] 'A Lord [Byron] and a Doctor once started for Fame Which for the best Poet should pass The Lord was cried up on account of his name The Doctor cried down for an Ass--' [2] 'Doctor Buz he assures us on Drury new Stage No Horses or Elephants, there should engage But pray Doctor Buz, how comes it to pass, That you your own self should produce there an Ass' [3] 'Old Buz against Quadrupeds, war did wage, And swore on Drury's board's such Mum'ry ne'er should pass But forcing his own Pegasus on Drurys stage The Critic Audience christen'd Buz an Ass.' Behind Raymond is the lower part of the verd-antique pillar which flanked the curtain, and on the right the large ornate lamp, of quasi-Egyptian design in which three hawk-headed monsters support an inverted tripod, the base of a ring of lamp-jets."--British Museum online catalogue

A pretty young woman sits holding an infant in long clothes with curiously adult features; she turns towards an elderly man beside her (left); her sailor husband, who has risen from his chair, stares warily at his father. The old man, who wears a seaman's short jacket with knee-breeches, scowls towards his son, saying, "Why d'ye see I am an old Seaman and not easily imposed upon--I say that cant be my Son Jacks child why he has been married but three months and during that time he has been at sea--the thing is impossible you may as well tell me that my ship Nancy goes nine knots an hour in a dead calm, and now I look again its the very picture of Peter Wilkins the Soap Boiler." A dog sits beside him, much interested.

Abstract:
"A design in six compartments arranged in two rows, each with a title. [1] 'Johnny, Newcome landing in the Wt Indies'. Johnny, wearing top-hat (blown off), breeches, and top-boots, steps through surf towards a sandy shore (right) where a giant crab advances to meet him, and two negresses seated under palm-trees register amusement and pleasure. Under his arm is a portmanteau. Behind him (left) is the prow of a ship's boat with two burly sailors, in which he has left a British ship at anchor. A mountainous landscape is indicated. [2] 'Johnny situated as Clerk of stores'. In an open shed facing the sea he reclines among hogsheads, smoking a cheroot and holding a punch-bowl; beside him are pen, ink, and paper; on the ground are a turtle and a monstrous insect compounded of spider and ant. A negro clerk, also smoking, kneels on a cask, and waves a branch over his master's head to drive off a swarm of flies. [3] 'Johnny enamoured with Nymphs bathing'. He stands on the shore inspecting through his glass at very close range three plump negresses, all grinning delightedly, all with the large posteriors of the Hottentot Venus, see British Museum Satires No. 11577, &c. Behind Johnny stands a negro servant, wearing breeches only, who holds up an umbrella, and waves a branch to drive off flies. [4] 'Johnny on a Country excursion'. Johnny, holding a gun, lies in a hammock carried by two negro servants wearing breeches only; a third runs beside him holding up an umbrella and dispersing flies with a branch. He smokes a cheroot and between his legs he supports a large jar, evidently of sangaree. A large lizard watches him. [5] 'Johnny enjoying the sports of the field'. He sits under a palm-tree, a table at his elbow, and holding a bowl in his right hand; he supports his cocked gun with his left hand while a negro holds up the barrel. Johnny has one foot braced against the latter's posterior. Behind, another negro, wearing shirt and breeches, stands drinking from a bowl and waving a branch over his master's head as in Nos. 2-4. A negro boy drives birds towards Johnny. Large bottles of 'Sangaree' are on the ground, others are on the table, with a pine-apple and (?) two banners. There is a mountainous sky-line. [6] 'Johnny Preachee and Floggee poor Mungo' [see British Museum Satires No. 9636]. Johnny, seated beside a table as in No. 5, smoking a cheroot, and holding a bowl on his knee, flourishes the long knotted lash of a whip over the back of a negro who kneels with clasped hands. Another holds an umbrella and the usual branch over his master. Bottles of 'Sangaree' are in the foreground."--British Museum online catalogue

"A satire on the rebuilding of Drury Lane Theatre. Whitbread, Chairman of the Committee, bestrides a barrel, the head inscribed 'The Butt M, T' [empty]. He has long ass's ears and points to a table beside him on the extreme right where there is a model of a theatre with a pillared portico and pediment. This rests on a paper inscribed 'Whitbread Copeland Holland Rolls &ca clear gains 450000!!!!!' Next Whitbread a man sits behind a similar table littered with plans all inscribed 'Plan of Drury Lane'. He also has ass's ears, to which a second pair has been added in water-colour. He looks through an eye-glass, resting his right elbow on an anchor, while he holds at arm's length the model of a theatre whose portico is flanked by two large sphinxes. A carved sun, like the emblem of the Sun Fire-Office, decorates his chair; on the right is a broad post or terminal pillar supporting a man's head, also with ass's ears. This rests on a volume inscribed 'Commons', and on its face in large letters are the words 'Ex Nihilo Nihil Fil'; from its upper edge a signpost arm projects to the right inscribed 'To Coventry', showing that he is Peter Moore. Behind Whitbread (left) and partly screened by a heavy curtain is a table supporting a third model of a theatre, also with a portico. Whitbread, frowning slightly, says: "These Resolutions once carried good bye Friend Sherry Old Claimants and new Subscribers (aside) Hem! I think I have bullied the Committe [sic] properly." His neighbour (? Lord Holland) who smiles, has a round good-humoured face; he says: "La! Mr Chairman I think my Sphynxes look Monstrous Pretty.""--British Museum online catalogue

Another smaller devil sits at the Count's feet while another large devil leans over the seat of sled. In the distance is a battlefield. The speech bubble above the Count reads: "My gaurdian [i.e. guardian] angel so you do but protect me d-n the army." The devil on the horse's back replies: "Don't be alarmed Boney. I'll escort to Paris but can't save your army."

"Lady Hertford, seated regally on a small sofa, cuts locks from the head of the Regent who reclines against her knees, asleep. The locks already cut are on the ground inscribed respectively 'Sheridan', 'Norfolk', 'Moira', 'Holland', 'Erskine'. She is about to shear off one inscribed 'Grenville'; the last, 'Grey', is still on his head. The Prince, who is conventionally handsome, and wears uniform, holds a paper signed '[Gren]ville / Grey'; his garter, inscribed 'Honi so . . .', is loose, and his left hand hides the star on his breast. Lord Yarmouth (right) stands holding a guttering candle; he points to the uncut lock, saying, "Don't forget that lock laying [on] the shoulder its Grey dy'ye see!" In his pocket is a pamphlet: 'Art of Milling' [see British Museum Satires No. 11842]. To leave no doubt as to his identity, a basket of fish is beside him inscribed '[Y]armouth Herrings'. Lady Hertford is heavily handsome; a small crown, which might pass as a tiara decorates her head; one foot rests regally on a footstool. A pillar and drapery behind her suggest regal state. On the sofa beside her is a rolled document headed 'Road to Hertford from Pall Mall'. On the ground (left) are empty wine-bottles; on a book by the Prince's feet, 'Economy of Human Life', lies a broken bottle from which wine pours. Behind (left) stands Perceval in his Chancellor of the Exchequer's gown, watching from behind a curtain which he holds aside; Castlereagh stands behind him, saying, "By Jasus, but she's as pretty a Barber as ever I clap't my eyes upon." Perceval answers: "Hush! Hush! you'l wake him before they are all cut."."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"General Frost towers above Napoleon who stands in the snow, his arms folded, while Frost, standing behind him, holds his victim's nose, and flourishes a large razor of 'Russian Steel'. Frost is a grotesque monster, nude to the waist and with the legs of a bear; his great feet are planted upon two groups of little French soldiers, crushing them into the snow. He is emaciated and old, with glaring eyeballs, wide mouth fringed with fang-like teeth, and huge moustache; a blast issues from each nostril; one inscribed 'North' slants down upon Napoleon's head, the other, slanting to the right, is inscribed 'North East--Snow and Sleet'; these are white against a dark sky. He has icicles for eyebrows and on his head are jagged pinnacles inscribed 'Mountain of Ice'. This is irradiated by a disk above his head inscribed 'Polar--Star'. His fingers are talons. From his mouth float the words: "Invade My Country indeed--I'll Shave--Freeze--and Bury you in Snow--You little Monkey." Tears fall from Napoleon's eyes, and he says: "Pray--Brother--General--have Mercy, dont overwhelm me with your hoary element, You have so niped me, that my very Teeth chatter Oh--dear--I am quite Chop fallen." A telescope is thrust under his arm. He wears the wide plumed bicorne of earlier caricatures. In the background on the left is 'Moscow' in flames; on the right the buildings of 'Petersbourg', and, nearer the foreground, 'Riga'. Above the horizon rise icebergs in fantastic shapes."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Jack Frost, bestriding a bear (left), hurls snowballs at Napoleon, who tries to escape, trudging through snow with skates attached to his spurred and tasselled Hessians. Two strike his back, another has knocked off his plumed bicorne. He holds his nose, looking over his shoulder to say: "By gar--Monsieur Frost this is a much colder Reception than I expected I never experianced such a pelting before--I find I must take care of my Nose as well as my Toes--Pray forgive me this time and I swear by --St Dennis never to enter your -- dominion again." From the angry bear's nostrils issues 'a Northern blast' which strikes Napoleon's posterior; its hindquarters are inscribed 'Northern Bear Ham'. Jack Frost is naked, except for large skates, emaciated, and old, with a wide gap-toothed mouth, beard, and huge moustache. From each glaring eyeball slants a searchlight inscribed 'Northern lights'. In each bony hand is a big 'Snow ball', and another flies through the air. He says: "What--Master Boney--have I caught You at last lie--teach you Russian fare--take that and that as a relish and digest it." In the middle distance the 'Empr Alexander' stands with legs astride on a mound of snow pointing derisively at Napoleon. He wears cocked hat, cloak, and fur-topped boots with huge curving toes, like those of three 'Cossacks' who watch Napoleon from a mound on the extreme left. They have spears but are smoking and one is seated; they grin, content to wait their time. Behind Alexander the spears and fur-capped heads of an army project above the snow, in front of the walls of 'Petersbourgh'. On the extreme right and nearer the foreground are French soldiers crouching in the snow and warming their hands at a fire of sticks inscribed 'Moscow'; fragments of gutted buildings are behind them. The sky is covered with slanting lines indicating a blizzard blowing against Napoleon and the French."--British Museum online catalogue

"Five horses with human heads, ridden by jockeys, race for the half-open door of the Treasury (left), across a wide cobbled pavement. The Regent and Lady Hertford with Lord Hertford standing behind holding his Lord Chamberlain's wand, stand on the pavement (left) watching the finish. The winning horse, Liverpool, is a piebald, with an earl's coronet round his neck, and branded 'H'. Next is Wellesley, a marquis's coronet round his neck, ridden by a jockey in oriental dress with a jewelled turban, who looks over his shoulder, saying: "Come Grey push on you'll let Pye Ball win else." Next is Moira, a blue ribbon round his neck representing the Garter granted on 12 June (which he had refused on 28 Feb., see 'Corr. of George IV', i. 29, 34-5), close behind is Grey; last is Grenville. Lady Hertford, as umpire, exclaims: "Bravo Pye Ball you have fairly won." Lord Hertford cries: "Huzza Pye Ball for ever." The Regent turns to a stout John Bull, to say: "Come Johny out with your Cash your favorite has lost you see." John puts out a protesting hand, saying, "No No D--e if I do! I'm off, why its a proper cross and Jostle I d'ont like the Umpire neither." John wears a top-hat and top-boots, his pockets bulge with money-bags, and he holds a cudgel. In the roadway is a cob or pony with the face of Sheridan, branded 'P R', ridden by the stout Yarmouth, from whose pocket projects a paper: 'The Milling Hero a Poem', see No. 11746, &c.; he is too large for his mount, and says: "Softly! Softly! poor Old Sherry, Oh my poor bones are in danger!" The animal kicks, saying: "It's a d--d dirty Job to carry such a -- but as I carried your Master [the Regent] through before you hold fast and I'll take you to the end." In the foreground (right) a man stands full-face, shouting; he holds a tall pole on which is a placard: 'The Treasury Sweepstakes for high-bred Hunters 4 Heats The M-ch-ss of H--s Pyebald Colt Liverpool ------- 1, dr, dr, 1 Iohn Bulls favorite ch. f.

"A fat woman laden with basket, bottles, bundle, &c. descends steps to the waterside, blown by the wind and beset by five bawling watermen, who point towards their boats.

Abstract:
"General Bennigsen (right) stands aggressively beside a large kitchen fire basting Napoleon, a much smaller figure, who is horizontally transfixed on a spit turned by a bear (left) seated erect on its hind-legs. He uses a ladle inscribed 'Benningsens baistings'. A large frying-pan rests on the flames by the bear's head from which frogs are diving into the fire. There is also a large steaming pot inscribed 'Corsican Broth'. The bear, whose thigh is inscribed 'Westphielea ham', asks: "How do you like Benningsen Baisting --Master Bony--and your Frogs." Napoleon, whose wrists and ankles are lashed to the spit, answers: "Our situation may be fun for you--Mr Bear--but Death to us." Bennigsen grasps a red-hot poker with a spade-like end inscribed 'Russia Iron'; he says fiercely: "I'll Roast--Beast [sic]--Dish--and Devour you, he Smoaks Brothe [sic] Bruin--an other turn and he is done." He has a patch over one eye, huge moustaches, and wears a fur cap, fur-trimmed uniform, with star and cross, and high cavalry boots, besides a small apron inscribed 'Russia duck'. The long pan under Napoleon, in which are sops of bread, is inscribed 'Sop for Cossacks'. On the ground is a row of four dishes inscribed respectively 'Bears grease', 'French Capers', 'Russian Sauce', 'Ice Cream'."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
