- Abstract:
- Plate from the 'Anti-Jacobin Review', ii. 233: On the extreme right the Devil holds up a canvas, 'le Tableau Parlant', which terrifies twelve Irishmen grouped round an oblong table. In their alarm the heavy table has been overturned, some are on the ground, others (left) flee in terror. The Devil, who looks round the edge of his picture, wears a bonnet-rouge inscribed 'Anarchy'; labels hang from his horn: 'Blasph[emy]' and 'Parracide'. He says "Stew it well - It cannot be Overdone for you and me". In the picture, 'Irish Stew I A Favourite Disk for French Palates', two French soldiers superintend the boiling of a Revolutionary Pot, in which stand three naked Irishmen shrieking for mercy; one says: "Liberty of being Stewed"; the other, "Equality - all to be stewed en Masse". Above the table five harpies fly off with a tattered cloth inscribed 'Map of Ireland'. They are intended for the Directors, three having belts inscribed 'Tallien' (not a Director), 'Barras', and 'Le Paux'. On the table is a paper, 'United Irishmen'. The Irishmen make gestures of terror or despair. Most look at the picture, one looks upwards, saying: "Poor Erin How thourt torn to pieces by these five Harpies." A fugitive looks round to say "What your own A. O Connor too!" A lawyer (? Curran): "So much for Republicani[sm] and glorious Independence! No Money! No Lawyer." A monk: "By St Patrick a complete Catholic Emancipation." Three others say: "I now howl in Vain - We are all gone to Pot"; "Brother John [Bull] would not have treated us so -" ; "My Merits with the Republic should have saved me, but I find we must all stew together" [he is perhaps Grattan]; "A Radical Reform by Jasus". Beside the last speaker, a ragged peasant, lies a bundle of pikes, &c.

- Abstract:
- "Lord Lonsdale as Satan is seated in triumph, his right foot resting on a sack of 'Coals from the Infernal Pitt.' (Pitt gave Lowther his peerage, see BMSat 6579.) Peter Pindar (Wolcot) (left) kneels on one knee at his feet, with clasped hands, beseeching mercy. A lawyer (right) whose legs are twisted serpents crouches at his left hand writing 'Peter Pindar' in a book inscribed 'Black List'; he is the coachman of BMSat 8155. Lonsdale is a magnificently arrogant figure with horns, wings, and muscular legs which are bare from the knee, his toes being talons; he resembles the Satan of BMSat 6027. He wears an earl's coronet inscribed 'Evil be thou my Good', and a military coat with epaulettes. From his mouth issues two streams of flame ... In his left hand, which rests on his knee, is a flaming torch inscribed 'Epistle to Lord Lonsd[ale] by Peter Pindar'. Behind his head is a large halo from which radiate tongues of flame that reach to the margins of the design, each with an inscription. ... The last inscription points at the lawyer as the first does at Pindar. Pindar's clothes are ragged, toes protrude through a tattered shoe. ... From his pocket project two books: 'Odes upon Cowardice' and 'Odes of Importance alias Conciliatory Odes'. The latter, published in 1792, contained an 'Ode to Lord Lonsdale', in which Lonsdale is urged to imitate the King's forbearance towards 'the poet's harmless wit'; it is by no means abject, and threatens him with an independent jury and Erskine's irony. ... Lonsdale's attorney holds 'Briefs' and 'Writs' under his left arm, on which a brief-bag is hung. The coals issuing from Lonsdale's sack are inscribed: 'Covetousness', 'Dissimulation', 'Rapine', 'Treachery', 'Malice', 'Cruelty', 'Envy', 'Pride', 'Ingratitude', 'Deceit', 'Swindling', 'Rapine', 'Meanness'. ..."--British Museum online catalogue.

- Abstract:
- "Lord Lonsdale with the head of a wolf sits in his carriage, from which the horses have been taken, and is drawn (left to right) by men past a row of two-storied cottages which are falling to pieces. He wears an earl's coronet, and a military coat with a shirt frill; from his rapacious mouth issue the words 'Dear Gentlemen this is too much, now you really distress me'. A large earl's coronet is on the carriage door. A hind wheel rolls over an open book, 'Peter Pindar'. A stout fierce-looking man wearing a legal wig sits on the box, raising a whip whose lashes are three scrolls inscribed (in legal blackletter), 'Littledale versus Lonsdale', 'Indemnifications', and 'Sham Trials'. He holds a bunch of reins attached to the necks of the men dragging the carriage, on whose faces are fixed, propitiatory grins. From his pockets issue a volume inscribed 'Blackstone', and a paper: 'Bills unpaid'; he is Lonsdale's 'clerk and attorney', see BMSat 8156. Two of the men whom he drives say: "No Ropes equal to mine, at a dead pull and A glorious night for my Brewery". Another man is in rags. In front of the procession and on the extreme right walk two couples holding hands. These carry three banners, inscribed: 'The good Samaritan', 'The Lion The Lamb', and: 'The Blues are bound in Adamantine Chains But Freedom round each Yellow Mansion reigns.' One of the men says slyly to the woman he walks with: 'And makes the Farmers Wives & Daughters Game' This is a quotation from Peter Pindar's 'Commiserating Epistle to Lord Lonsdale', see BMSat 8003. The context is: 'Yet why should Hares, and Partridges, and Grouse, Alone be ravish'd from the Farmer's house ? - Go, Lonsdale, get an Act to raise thy fame, And make . . .' Behind the carriage (left) is a cheering crowd; they wave their hats frantically shouting, "Liberty, Huzza, Huzza." The man in the foreground is a sailor with a bludgeon. Over the door of one of the ruined cottages is a placard: 'To lett convenient lodgings.'"--British Museum online catalogue.
