"An imitation of British Museum Satires No. 8913, by Woodward. A fat parson sits drinking beside a small round table. His face is fiery and carbuncled. He wears gown and bands, with unbuttoned waistcoast, and ungartered stocking; his wig is back to front. Opposite him, on a round stool sits Care, a naked man, grotesque, aged, emaciated, with a scraggy beard and long grey hair, and talons on hands and feet; he registers gloomy terror. The parson, with a contemptuous smile, snaps his fingers at Care. On the table are decanter, pipe, tobacco-box, and lemon. On the wall (left) is a 'List of the Tythes for the Parish of Guttledown'. A patterned carpet completes the design. An illustration of the song (illustrated also by R. Cruikshank in 'The Universal Songster', ii, 1826, page 129)."--British Museum online catalogue

The English sportsman sits in a chair with his feet supported on a stool, gun in hand. He wears a hat with an enormous brim. A negro servant stands behind him (right) holding up an umbrella and a branch to beat off flies. A negro boy approaches his master, who grins delightedly, with a huge goblet on a salver. Below the design: "Make haste with the Sangaree, Quashie, and tell Quaco to drive the Birds up to me, I'm ready". Under a palm-tree (left) is a table covered with food: a shoulder of mutton (?), fish, a sucking-pig, a round of bee(?). On the ground are many bottles, some on their sides, a basket of pineapples and limes (or lemons), and a row of large jars: 'Royal Punch 5 gal:', 'Sangaree 5 Gal:', 'Brandy', 'Rum' [on its side], 'Sangrorum 10 Gal' [extra-large and close to the sportsman]; also a much smaller jar of 'Water' [broken], and a number of empty bottles. In the middle distance a negro runs, driving birds towards the sportsman. Near him in the middle distance, a second sportsman reclines on a settee; a negress holds an umbrella over his head. The scene is a flat sunny plain, with distant hills. From British Museum online catalogue

King George IV and entourage laden with provisions, about to embark from Brighton in the Royal Yacht; representing the extravagant monarch's distressed retreat from England at the time of the Queen's trial and "George IV leads a procession to the waterside to embark in the royal yacht, preceded by the Attorney-General with a 'Green Bag' [see No. 13735] under each arm, and a bottle of 'Milan Brandy' [see British Museum Satires No. 13755, &c.] in each hand. The latter, much caricatured and with a malevolent countenance, says: "The Tide is against His Ma--je--ty but should He be able to clear Cuckolds Point [cf. British Museum Satires No. 13769] no doubt he will easily weather Cape Horn." The King, wearing sailor's trousers, rollicks along between Lady Hertford and Lady Conyngham (see British Museum Satires No. 13847), arm-in-arm with both and looking towards the latter. He holds in one hand a purse inscribed '2/6', in the other a bottle: 'Decoction of Bergamy', and wears a long watch-ribbon inscribed 'Non mi ricordo' [see British Museum Satires No. 13827]. Both ladies carry reticules inscribed '2/6' [half a crown, cf. British Museum Satires No. 13826]. Lady Hertford: "I hope your Ma--je--ty will not forget your promise (when in Hertford) to take a peep in Y--amouth [sic] Roads--as the Sea breezes might be beneficial." Lady Conyngham: "Don't doubt us your Ma--je--ty we shall never be wanting to lend a Hand to raise the Royal G . . . e." Behind walk Sidmouth and Castlereagh, the latter wearing a triangular hat, holding a scourge and fetters and with a package inscribed 'Irish Wiskey Triangular Proceedings' [see British Museum Satires No. 14135] under his arm. Sidmouth carries a 'Royal Medecine Chest' under his arm, with a clyster-pipe (cf. British Museum Satires No. 9849) inscribed 'Portable Soup'; on his head is a commode-pan inscribed 'Stink Pot for the Radicals'. He says: "Take care of the Green Bags, Stow 'em safe-- for should the Sea Water touch them they'll rot sooner than is expected--and his Ma--je--ty would run the chance of loosing half a Crown" [see British Museum Satires No. 13826]. They are followed by Liverpool and Canning, both wearing, like the King, top-hats ornamented with crowns, to show they are the King's servants. Liverpool has a pen behind his ear and carries two bags, one inscribed 'Pursers Profits', the other 'Nip Cheese 75 Per Cent'. He says "one and one makes two. Canning carries a weathercock (cf. British Museum Satires No. 13737) and says: "A fine Breeze and we shall soon be out of the scent of Cotton Yard [see British Museum Satires No. 13824] theres a kind of Vapour gathering in that Quarter that's likely to be very offensive, unless the rubbish is shortly removed!!" In the foreground on the extreme left walks Sir William Curtis, in the sailor's dress of the Walcheren Expedition, see British Museum Satires No. 11353, &c. He has a vast paunch inscribed 'The Orphans Fund' [see British Museum Satires No. 13706] and 'Blubber', and carries a large turtle, a knife, and a long spoon. He says: "Who so blythe so blythe as we to take a voyage a voyage to Sea Along with his great Ma--j--ty." Behind is a man carrying on his head a basket of kitchen 'Stores': gridiron, kettle, &c. The yacht 'Royal George' is in the background (right), flying the Royal Standard and with sailors in the rigging."--British Museum online catalogue

"Heading to a printed broadside, a parody of Hamlet's soliloquy spoken by George IV, beginning 'To be or not to be? and ending 'I'd rather drink and revel here in secret, | Than fly | Where I might meet her face to face'. The King, much burlesqued, stands with legs astride on the boards of a theatre, framed by curtains patterned with grapes, bottles, glasses, crowns, and antlers. On the back-cloth are crude Chinese figures. He has a huge head, with heavy drink-blotched face crowned by the towering curls of his wig, and holds a full goblet and a bottle of Curaco. With an expression of calculating melancholy he meditates suicide, on account of 'The scorns and satire of an injur'd Nation', but fears to meet his wife's ghost."--British Museum online catalogue

"John Bull capers on one leg, arms raised, looking down delightedly at little capering creatures at his feet whose bodies are composed of food or drink. These have human arms and legs (as in British Museum Satires no. 9851) and are flanked by two similar figures on a larger scale: a joint of beef (left), inscribed 'Sir Loin for ever' and decorated with sprigs of holly, sits on a flight of steps holding 'O the roast Beef of Old England', the tune to which they dance. On the extreme right sack inscribed 'Genuine Flour, No Adulteration' dances with heavy dignity. Two musicians are on the left: a frothing tankard of 'Old Stout', decorated with the Royal Arms as in BMSat 9851, plays a fiddle; a loaf of 'The Best Wheaten Bread' plays a pipe. The dancers are: 'Mutton 3d 1/2 Pr Pound'; 'Prime Hops, no Quashee'; 'Double Gloucester'; 'Jamaica Rum'; 'Old Port', and 'Coniac'. On a smaller scale in the foreground are 'Peace and Mealy Potatoes' and 'Excellent Fresh Butter', the last like a ballerina with petticoats extended."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"A satire on the folly of marriage where the two parties are of a dissimilar age, and on the sexual opportunism of young military office. An elderly magistrate has fallen asleep sitting beside a table on which are glasses, pipes and two bottles, one labelled “Port” in front of an empty grate. He holds a copy of “Compleat JUSTICE”, showing him to be a Justice of the Peace, and a paper protrudes from his pocket lettered “-him for a Trepass on...”. On a bracket table behind him are “BURNS JUSTICE”, a paper lettered “Stealing a Hare” and another “Mid to Wit...”. On the wall over his head is a stag’s head with antlers alluding to his cuckoldry. On the other side of the fireplace, watching him, his pretty young wife sits beside an army officer who caresses her. The officer’s hat hangs on the wall behind them. On the mantelpiece are two oriental style jars and a figure of Budai,” the smiling Buddha” and over these is a gun suspended upside down.."--British Museum online catalogue

"Queen Caroline, much burlesqued, stands (left) in the grounds of Brandenburgh House, looking up in angry distress at an irradiated sun in the upper right corner of the design containing a bust portrait of George IV and surmounted by a crown. She flinches to the left, holding up an ermine-bordered cloak to screen herself from the rays. In her right hand is a decanter of Brandy [cf. British Museum Satires No. 14175]. She has loose black ringlets, and wears a heavily-feathered black cap; frilled drawers are attached to a very high-waisted and décolletée bodice and display absurd ankle boots with the turned-up toes common in these prints. The rays from the King are inscribed: Westmorland, Camden, Eldon, Liverpool, Harrowby, Clarence, Gifford, Copley. In the background (right) is Alderman Wood, wearing his gown, running towards her, his arms extended, and followed by two braying asses.

"Three revellers sit at a small round table on which is a large punch-bowl, each holding a full glass. A fat man in an arm-chair (right), full-face, each gouty bandaged leg supported on a stool, his left hand bandaged, and wearing a dressing-gown, with jovially contorted features, declaims the first part of the title. His neighbour, a young woman with her hand clasping her waist, declaims the second part. A wretched invalid (left), with stick-like limbs, looking on the verge of the grave, repeats the last part. The words, inscribed in scrolls, form the only title. They are the words of an old catch which continues: 'And is by all agreed the very best of physic' A patterned carpet, and cast shadows on a plain wall, complete the design."--British Museum online catalogue, description of the print of which this is a copy

Three figures each with a characteristic beverage stand on a floor with wide boards. On the left a would-be dandy bends in profile to the right, pouring a bottle of (flat) spruce-beer into a tumbler. In the middle a very stout elderly and slightly tipsy 'cit', spectacles on his bottle-nose, holds a glass of port in one hand, and the bottle in the other. On the right a Frenchman (?), throwing his right leg forward with pointed toe and looking round for admiration, holds bottle in one hand, glass in the other; the cork flies up, and the champagne, curving upwards, cascades into the glass, splashing but not foaming

"Two men sit beside a blazing fire in a well-furnished room, overcome by drink, and fast asleep. One, a stout officer in regimentals, wearing a cocked hat, seated in an arm-chair (right), has thrust his wooden leg into the fire, where it is burning. The ashes of his pipe fall on to the tail of a dog asleep under his chair. His companion sits (left) supporting his head on his elbow, which rests on a round table on which are a punchbowl, glasses, and a candle, in which his wig is burning.

"The Knave of Clubs, 'Pam', sits in state in a ramshackle attic, one foot resting regally on a footstool. He is faint-hearted and melancholy and turns to a dapper little man (Sir Walter Stirling) at his right hand, who is supported by the Devil. He says: "I'm going to Hastings give me some Sterling No Tokens." Stirling, who holds an open book and is prompted by the Devil, says: "Let Us Pray," with a cynical smile. The Devil says: "Honestly if you Can?!!--but get Money." A hideous old woman, grotesque and ragged, offers him a glass, saying, "Try if Brandy won't save you." Behind the Devil, and on the extreme left, stands a burlesqued, knock-kneed lawyer, closing one eye in a cynical grimace; he holds a large pen and a paper headed 'The Last Will & Testement [sic] of Pam'. The room has the signs of squalor characteristic of the period: bricks showing through broken plaster, raftered roof, check bed-curtains, a broken chair, with broken jug and plate on the floor. Ragged stockings and a night-cap, &c. hang from a string across the fireplace (right), and on the mantelshelf are a candle in a bottle, a saucepan, medicine-bottle, teapot, and cup.

"The Dey of Tunis, a fat Turk, sits cross-legged on one mattress (left), the Princess of Wales, in Turkish costume, on another; her huge breasts are immodestly bare. He smokes a long pipe, and puffs smoke sideways towards his visitor with an inscrutable expression; beside him are coffee-pot and cup. She smokes a hookah; a bottle of 'Coniac' and a glass are beside her. A Tunisian with a long beard and baggy breeches stands between them, staring and bowing towards the Princess; he says: "His Highness Trusts the endeavours of his household for your Gratification is successful and that happiness in the Halb of the Faithfull attends you." She answers: "their Assiduities are unceasing I am as Happy as the Dey [altered to] Day is Long!!!" Behind her couch stands Bergami, in hussar costume with three orders; he scowls with clenched fists, saying: "this is an unfortunate Dey for me Othellos occupation's gone.""--British Museum online catalogue

"Satire on the end of Lord Rockingham's administration shown as a dance at court. The verses below describe the protagonists who have been numbered in pen and ink: in the centre, Princess Augusta (1) dances with Lord Bute (2) their joined hands holding a leading string attached to Pitt (3) with a gouty leg who leans on his crutch, adorned with a coronet, as he converses with America, a half naked native American woman holding a bottle of rum. To the left of the Princess, stand Charles Townshend (4), holding a weathercock, beside his partner Britannia standing on her head, her shield and spear fallen on the ground. Further left, Lord Northington (5) robed as Lord President of the Council holds a glass of wine towards his elaborately dressed young woman (6; identified by Stephens as Betty Careless, although she had died in 1752). On the right, Henry Fox (7) dances with the devil; behind him are a Frenchman saying he will not pay the Canada Bills recompensing Britain after the Seven Years' War, and a Spaniard saying he will not pay the Manilla Ransom, a sum of two million dollars offered to Britain by the governor of Manilla when the city was captured. At far left, the king (8) plays the fiddle accompanied by two Scottish bagpipers. Wilkes (9) flies above, a copy of his Essay on Woman in his pocket, bound for Paris on a broomstick with a witch who says she will take him anywhere but to Scotland; he defecates on the head of Lord Bute. In the foreground stand four politicians: Temple (10) saying that he will get Francis Hayman to paint the scene for his garden at Stowe; Newcastle (11) wearing spectacles; Rockingham (12) wearning boots and carrying a riding whip; Winchilsea (13).

Behind the bar of the "Pro bono publico" stand Charles Fox and Lord North, advertising their mixture. Several displeased customers sitting at tables in front of the bar complain about the punch's appalling quality and "The interior of a punch-house. In an alcove or bar (right), behind a counter, stand North and Fox mixing punch. Over the alcove is inscribed "Pro bono Publico | The Coalition Punch-house by Charles & Co." North (left) holds a kettle in his right hand, in his left a ladle with which he mixes the contents of the bowl. He says, "Gentlemen I can supply you with accid having had 6 or 7 years constant practice in making of it for 3 kingdoms & 13 provinces". Fox (right), his right hand resting on a wine-bottle, his left outstretched, says "Gentlemen tho' I have enlarged my connections I can still serve you with good Liquor & give you Good Words as usual & if that wont please you may go & be Dm---d". Each has an expression of anxiety mixed with defiance, anxiety the more prominent in North, defiance in Fox. The guests sit on low benches in front of narrow tables, their backs to the punch-makers. Immediately in front of the bar sits a stout man in a bob-wig holding up his bowl and saying, "Coalition Punch do you call it? Phow! tis nauseous as Salts or Jalap". Next him (right) is a tall, thin military officer, wearing a cockaded hat and epaulettes and holding a tasselled cane. He holds a bowl in his left hand, saying, "Aye Friend they that drink it must take it down at a Gulph". Three men sit at a table on the left: a roistering buck wearing the fashionable riding-dress of the day, a favour in his hat, stands up, legs astride, holding out a bowl in his right hand, the contents spilling, he says, "Right sort Charley Damme!" Next him a man with a melancholy expression leans his elbows on the table, supporting his head in his hands and saying "You may say poisonous indeed for it has thrown the whole Nation in a fermentation & by the addition of that cursed C° he will loose all his good old Customers". Next him, and on the extreme left, a trim-looking citizen smoking a long pipe, his bowl on the table, says "When Charles was on his own bottom, he sold wholesome tipple, but now C° is added to his name we get a poisonous Compound.""--British Museum online catalogue

"George IV sits in a four-wheeled light cart, inscribed Goods, drawn by loyal Hanoverians; it is covered by a canopy supported on poles. He sits on a high seat with his back to the shafts, scattering gold coins, which Londonderry (Castlereagh), who faces him on a lower seat, ladles into his lap. In the cart, besides a pile of coins, are packages and a basket of bottles of Brandy. The King: We have got the Means of Replenishing behind, throw away--Hurrah my Lads, we'll make Soldiers of you & take a few thousands in to our pay. The 'means' are the heavy burdens on the back of John Bull, an emaciated bull, marked I.B, tied to the cart, and weighed down with enormous bundles of taxes inscribed: Leather Tax Soap, Salt Tax; Candles Tax Beer Malt Light; Ale &c &c &c &c &c; Taxes Taxes Taxes. The bull plods along, with broken knees, shedding tears. The cheering Hanoverians catch the golden shower in their hats; the most prominent wears smart but mended German uniform of hussar type. One says: He is indeed a Hanoverian at Heart; another answers: No, He is an Irish Man he says [cf. British Museum Satires No. 14246, &c]. A third: Why some Years ago he said he & his Brother William were the only ones in the Family who were not Germans. The King wears a coat of foreign cut, with a round (Teutonic) cap, and smokes a long German pipe with covered bowl. A little ragged boy collects coins in an apron. A peasant woman (right) with an apronful of coins, holds one up, shouting Aye this is a proof of the excessive Riches of England."--British Museum online catalogue
