- Abstract:
- "Broadside on the execution of Louis XVI; with a hand-coloured aquatint pasted to a list printed in four black-bordered columns, the (printed) title as above. Fortune, blindfolded, with winged feet, pushes her wheel on the summit of the globe, which emerges from clouds and is decorated by three large fleur-de-lis. She runs in profile to the right, her draperies floating behind her. On the lower left circumference of the wheel, about to move upwards, are a crown and a cross; on its summit are two papers inscribed 'Tallien' and 'Merlin'. On the right, and beginning to descend, is a bonnet-rouge. On the lower right circumference, about to be crushed, are papers inscribed 'Collot d'Herbois' and (almost at the lowest point) 'Barrere'. Each column is again divided into four, headed: 'Names', 'Departments', 'When arrested', 'Fate'. Beneath this long list are two shorter ones: 'A List of those, who, without having Voted for the King's Murder, have made themselves eminent in the French Revolution, and have been recompensed', i.e. have been guillotined or have committed suicide. This is followed by a list of 'French Republican Generals, who have received a reward for their services, during the French Revolution'. Most have been guillotined, others have died by suicide or otherwise, some have merely been arrested. 'Dumourier' appears as 'Deserter'."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "The Frenchman sits in profile to the left, on the knee of the Devil (right), who kneels on one knee to support him, and steadies him by encircling his body with his right arm. The Devil is nude and muscular, with large feathered wings; he grins delightedly, left arm raised. His protégé, who is ragged but fashionable and not a sans-culotte, though wearing a bonnet-rouge, holds on his knee a frothing chamber-pot, and blows soap-bubbles from a long pipe. Other bubbles of varying sizes float to the left, filled with close ranks of infantry and inscribed with their places of destination. 'Old England' issues from the pipe; the others are: 'Vienne', 'Flanders' (the largest), 'Rome', 'Prussia', 'Hanover', 'Amsterdam', 'Sardinia', 'Petersburg'. Beneath their feet are papers: 'Asignets'. The scene is near the coast; at the water's edge sit three (Dutch) frogs, their backs to the two figures, saying, "Oh Dear what can the matter be. I wish we was out of their Bloody clutches sure some infurnel Fiend Protect them." They face a burning town on the horizon."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- A satirical representation of the fraternity shown at the Fête de la Fédération in the Champ de Mars on 14 July 1790. The central figure of Louis XVI embraces a group of five men, four of whom form two couples who are kissing and embracing. Weeping, the King says, "This is what I have long desired: my wish is at length accomplished. The nation & the King from hence foward will be but one." One of the men in his embrace responds, "Point de deux Chambres." One of another couple, in the act of picking the pocket of his friend, says, "Point de République." The other couple weeps, "I'll furnish tears to drown the King" while his friend adds "And I the Dauphin and the Queen." On the right a man wearing spectacles hugs a pillar, saying, "Vive le Roi. Vive la Nation Vive liberté."
