- Abstract:
- "Perceval, in back view, and in barrister's wig and gown, holds a magic lantern by which he displays the Pope in the guise of a ragged beggar, for the benefit of John Bull and the King. George III is seated on the throne and looks at the screen through a telescope held by Eldon, inscribed 'Ill-done's Patent Magnifying Papascope'. The King, much alarmed at what he sees, clutches the mace which Eldon holds, with the Purse of the Great Seal attached to it. Beside the King (right) stand a bishop in back view, and a man wearing academic cap and gown. Perceval' s lantern is inscribed 'Percev[al] Humbu[g]'. Canning stands in front of it; Castlereagh beside it, both pointing at John Bull, a yokel in a smock, who has fallen to the ground in terror at the lantern-display, guineas falling from his pocket. The figure on the screen is an old man with patched robes, two keys hanging from a girdle, a sack of 'Bulls' on his back. In place of his triple crown he wears three hats like a Jewish old clothes' man, and for a crosier he has a branching stick. Close to the screen and with his back to it, Portland sits on a block of stone (cf. British Museum Satires No. 10718), talking to Hawkesbury. On the stone is drawn a wig on a block with the inscription 'Retrospective View of Portland' [i.e. as a former Whig]. In the shadow, between and behind Canning and Castlereagh, stands Melville in Highland dress; on his sporran: 'Ex Privy' [Counsellor]. Three other figures are not characterized. In the foreground a dog, its collar inscribed 'John Bull', is biting the 'Union Bill 1800', where it is headed by an Irish harp; a fragment, with the Royal Arms, has been torn off. The dog befouls a 'Catholic Petition'. On the wall is a large playbill: 'Theatre Royal St Stephens By his Majesty's Servants Feby 1807 Horrid Tragedy of Raw Head and Bloody Bones in a Red Cloak Mesrs Percivall, Canning, H-b-y [Harrowby], Portland Castlereagh Wonderful Deceptions, Messrs Proteus & Ill-done.'"--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- Napoleon's brother Joseph presents himself as King of Spain to a reulctant and resisting crowd of Spanish citizens and soldiers and is flanked by disheveled French soldiers dramatically supporting Joseph. The Spanish crowd responds to the announcement with a series of defiant exclamations, "He was [?] attorney and we'll soon eject him from Spain", "Though a woman I am determined to resist", and "Yes commrade and for our chattels too if I guess right". Joseph, ignorant of the recalcitrance, wears a crown, cape, medallion and spreads his arms while saying, "For this kind and flattering reception much thanks, behold the brother of the great Napoleon come to reign over you for your goods." The French troops, incredulous at of the Spanish resistance, exclaim, "Will no one huzza will no one ring the bells, if you don't make a noise you shall all fall by the royal bayonet" and "Vive le Roy, huzza!".

- "Six elderly volunteers in uniform, with pigtails, sit at dessert. The host (left), holding a decanter and small glass, says: Come Gentlemen Volunteers to the right and left -- Charge if you please to the King [these words are linked to the mouth of the butler, but this seems inconsistent with the dialogue]. His vis-à-vis, rising from his chair, answers: I should be very happy to obey your Orders Colonel, but really your glasses are so small that d------n me if theres enough for a Prime [a specialized meaning of the word not in the O.E.D.] . . At the Colonel's feet are papers: A Penny saved is a 2 Pence got and Current Price of Port Shery--To one Pipe Old Port £120. The butler behind his chair grins delightedly. On the wall is a placard: Maxims--How to get Rich--Pinch Sque[eze], Gripe, Snat[ch]. The room has Gothic mouldings and a window on which are the arms of the City of London, suggesting that the host may be the Lord Mayor (John Ainsley 1807-8). One of the prints in No. 11133."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Napoleon, advancing down a gently sloping causeway of rock which traverses water and flames, is halted by 'Leo Britannicus' who bounds savagely towards him. He drops a short chain attached to the nose of the 'Russian Bear', a huge white creature at his heels. He is beset on all sides by monsters, who emerge from a background of flame, smoke, and cloud, or from the water. Beside the British Lion is a little 'Sicilian Terrier', barking ferociously. Death, a skeleton-like corpse, rides a mule which dashes through the air towards Napoleon, snorting flame. He wears a Spanish hat and cloak, and holds up a flaming spear and an hour-glass whose sands have almost run out. The mule's trappings are inscribed 'True-Royal-Spanish-Breed'. Outstripping the mule, a savage 'Portuguese Wolf', with the end of a broken chain attached to his collar, leaps towards Napoleon. The heads and hulders of two melancholy French officers with their necks chained together emerge from clouds to address Napoleon; they say: "Remember Junot and Remember Dupont." Above these is the Pope's tiara, the apex of flames, emitting thunderbolts towards Napoleon, and inscribed 'Dreadful Descent of ye Roman Meteor' [cf. BMSat 10970]. Immediately above Napoleon is a crescent moon inscribed 'British-influence' enclosing the old (dark) moon, which is 'French Influence'. This forms the centre of a turban, and is surrounded with fiery clouds flanking the features of the Sultan, looking fiercely down at Napoleon. Blood drips from it. This is 'The Turkish New-Moon, Rising in Blood'. Beside it (right) the head and arms of a man raising an enormous sword above Napoleon emerge from swirling flames: The 'Spirit of Charles ye XII' [of Sweden 1682-1718]. On the r. a double-headed Habsburg eagle swoops towards Napoleon from clouds: "- The Imperial Eagle emerging from a Cloud." Its collar is inscribed 'German Eagle'. From the water beyond Napoleon's causeway, the 'Ditch of Styx', project the crown and hands of the drowning 'Rex Joseph'; he is immediately under the Spanish mule ridden by Death. The water on the nearer side of the causeway, in the foreground, is the 'Lethean Ditch'. From this (left) rats crawl towards Napoleon: "The Rhenish Confederation of Starved Rats, crawling out of the Mud [cf. British Museum Satires No. 10433]." Three frogs raise their heads from the ditch to spit: "Dutch-Frogs spitting out their spite." A rattle-snake spits venom, and shakes its tail: "- American Rattle-Snake shaking his Tail.-" On the right, standing on a rock, is a dilapidated eagle with clipped wings, and scanty feathers: "Prussian Scare-Crow attempting to Fly -.""--British Museum online catalogue

[3] Dressed in officer's uniform but without a sword, he bows, hat in hand:' An humble Ensign in a Republican Corps - requesting a situation in the British Army'. [4] He stands agressivelv hand on hip, r. arm extended, wearing a plumed bicorne and long sabre: 'A determined Atheistical Republican General - ordering his men to fire on the Parisians Vollies of grape shot'. [5] He stands in Turkish dress, bowing with a furtive sideways glance; he wears a plumed turban and fur-trimmed robe: 'A Turk at Grand Cairo'. [6] He runs hurriedly in profile to the left., wearing his cocked hat, but no sword: 'A Runaway from Egypt'. [7] As 'A Devout Catholic', he stands in uniform, without hat or sword, head bowed and hands crossed on his breast. [8] In the last scene he sits enthroned, with the inscription: 'An Emperor on a Throne of iniquities - O Tempora O Mores'. He wears a crown and long robe. The back of his throne is inscribed 'Murderer.

- Abstract:
- "Cobbett, driving four ringed hogs, leads (r. to left.) a procession cheered by an enormous crowd. He sits on a 'Political Hog Trough' which rests on a low platform mounted on four solid wheels. Behind him stands Windham, wearing (ironically) a bonnet rouge, and holding up a large scroll inscribed: 'Loyal-Petition of ye Noble and truely Independent-Hogs of Hampshire - Humbly shewing, that the Convention with Junot, was a cursed Humbug upon Old-England! - & that the Three damn'd Convention-Signers ought to be Hanged Drawn & Quarterd without Judge or Jury'. Issues of Cobbett's paper fall to the ground from his seat, all headed 'Cobbett's Political Register' or 'Cobbett's Register' and continuing 'Ignorance of the Ministry', 'Ignorance of the British Command', 'Ignorance of the Admiralty', 'Letter to Sir Rd Phillips', 'Letter to the Duke of York', and 'State of the Army & Navy'. Cobbett is not caricatured and has a complacent expression. Three members of the Opposition push behind at his 'Hog Trough'. They are Grenville, dressed as a butcher, Grey with a handkerchief round his neck, and Sidmouth. Behind them walk hogs on their hind legs, wearing court dress, with sword or cane, and carrying small tricorne hats with tricolour cockades. From the pocket of one hangs a paper: 'To the Free and Indepent Hogs of Hampshire'. On the left. is Bosville with a large bag of coins inscribed 'Pigs-Meat'; from this he feeds the two leading hogs of Cobbett's team. Beside him stands Burdett flogging the hogs with a long whip. The middle distance and background are filled with a dense crowd cheering the procession. Those in the two front rows are butchers, banging marrow-bones on cleavers, as at a Westminster election. Three of these are (l. to r.) Sheridan, Lauderdale, and Petty, all wearing bonnets rouges. Four banners are held up, the first two being tricolour: [1] 'The Botley Patriot & his Hogs for ever. - no chevaliers du bain'; [2] 'Given up to Junot. All the Plunder All the Horses. All the Arms. - O Diable! Diable'; [3] a pictorial banner: 'Due D'Abrantes Ratifying ye Convention'; he signs on a drum-head; kneeling British officers kiss his bared posteriors, and attendant French soldiers hold huge money-bags; [4] 'Triumph in Portugal - a new Catch to be Sung by the Hampshire Hogs - to the Tune of Three Jolly Boys all in a Row'. From the crowd on the r. three gibbets are held up each with a figure hanging in effigy. They are inscribed: 'Sir Hugh [Dalrymple]', 'Sir Arthur [Wellesley]', 'Sir Harry [Burrard]'. In the foreground (r.) a terrier barks furiously at the procession, its collar inscribed 'Evening Post'."--British Museum online catalogue

With a mug inscribed 'EF' the infant has smashed the tea-pot, while an overturned milk-jug makes a pool on the floor at which a cat laps. The man's back is to the fireplace (left), where a kettle is boiling over, and a red-hot poker is burning the floor. He says, with a fatuous smile: "Pretty Dear Heart! what a Gulley [an unrecorded word, evidently from Gully the pugilist]. it has given the Tea Pot, she delights in a little mischief, I should not be surprised Mrs Fig if she was to make as much Noise in the World as her Namesake, and as the Poet says "like another Ellen fire another Troy". Mrs. Fig (right), with arms angrily extended, exclaims: "Troy indeed Mr Fig, I think your more likely to Fire the House, look where the red hot poker lays and see how the tea Kettle is boiling over!!" On the wall is a framed print of 'The Worlds End', a flaming globe (the sign of more than one public house in the outskirts of London).

The man's back is to the fireplace (left), where a kettle is boiling over, and a red-hot poker is burning the floor. He says, with a fatuous smile: "Pretty Dear Heart! what a Gulley [an unrecorded word, evidently from Gully the pugilist]. it has given the Tea Pot, she delights in a little mischief, I should not be surprised Mrs Fig if she was to make as much Noise in the World as her Namesake, and as the Poet says "like another Ellen fire another Troy". Mrs. Fig (right), with arms angrily extended, exclaims: "Troy indeed Mr Fig, I think your more likely to Fire the House, look where the red hot poker lays and see how the tea Kettle is boiling over!!" On the wall is a framed print of 'The Worlds End', a flaming globe (the sign of more than one public house in the outskirts of London). On the mantelpiece are a large china mandarin (sign of the grocer's connexion with the tea-trade) and a medicine-bottle labelled 'Composing Draught for Miss Fig'. In a letter-rack are letters 'To Mr Fig Grocer'."--British Museum online catalogue
