Abstract:
"A sequel to No. 11384. A fantastic scene in Oxford representing Grenville's installation as Chancellor, which took place at Commemoration, 3 July 1810. Grenville rises in a balloon above a vast applauding crowd; his inflated and spherical posterior fits into the shallow bowl which forms the car. He wears a papal tiara and his Chancellor's gown; a large cross is on his posterior. He extends his arms horizontally, scattering symbolical objects. These are (left): a Cardinal's hat, a rosary, a mitre set in a ducal coronet, and a book, 'Liber Regis . . . Oxford . . .'; (right): three books: 'Letter to the Earl of Fingal'; 'Irish Mass Book'; 'Liber Valorum'. The spherical gas-bag of the balloon represents an inflated Lord Temple, the crown of the head at the summit, with upturned profile in the arc just below (left); shoes emerge from the opposite pole; from the posterior issues a tail or cloud, streaming upward, inscribed 'Promisses'. The car, decorated with Popish emblems, the Host between winged heads, hangs from cords suspended from a net covering the balloon. Three bishops, seated on asses which crouch in neighing obeisance towards Grenville, reach up eagerly towards the Cardinal's hat, &c. They are in back view, and in the foreground on the extreme left. Behind them is part of the Radcliffe Camera, the greater part being cut off by the left margin. By the door is a placard: 'Order'd That No Doctor of Laws shall be admitted without Bag Wig'. Two men are leaving the building: Lord George Grenville, followed by (?) Thomas Grenville. [Not Windham (as Wright and Evans say) who died in June. Lord Holland says Lord Grenville, but he does not resemble him, and his double appearance is unlikely.] The Marquis of Buckingham looks from the principal window under the dome; Lord Stafford leans from a smaller window below. All four wear bag-wigs and gowns. On a projection above the door stands a chicken with the head of M. A. Taylor (the 'Chick of Law', see No. 6777) puffing a blast up at the balloon. Spectacled and bewigged owls perch on the balustrade surrounding the dome. In the foreground on the right is a large group, many of whom wear doctor's gowns with black masks over their features, tied over bag-wigs that perch awkwardly on their heads. Three of them wave their mortar-board caps towards the balloon: Erskine, Tierney (without a mask and especially deferential), and Lord Holland, his face completely blackened by a mask and wearing a mob-cap. Behind (right) are Lord Grey, Sidmouth holding a clyster-pipe behind his back (cf. No. 9849), Lord Cholmondeley, whose wig is back to front and tilted tipsily over one eye, and Whitbread, who clutches his mortarboard in both hands. In front little Lord Lansdowne capers, holding up the brush and shovel of a chimney-sweep (as Lord Henry Petty he was satirized as an inveterate dancer, cf. No. 10589). Next him, but walking off to the right, is Sheridan, who, unlike the others, does not wear a gown and bag-wig, but is naked except for tattered Harlequin trousers (cf. No. 9916), shoes, and ruffles fastened round his wrists to indicate genteel poverty; he clutches his head with a despairing gesture. In the foreground on the extreme right. Dr. Crowe, the Public Orator, sits on the ground, leaning against a milestone with closed eyes and a contented smile; beside him are an overturned tankard inscribed 'Whitbread Entire' [cf. No. 10421], and papers, 'Oratio Croweiana', which a dog is befouling. The stone is inscribed [blank] 'Miles from Oxford to Rome'. The middle distance is filled with a dense crowd of spectators, receding into a sea of heads. Those in front are doctors in red gowns bowing low as Grenville ascends. In front of the crowd Sir W. W. Wynn and his two brothers (Grenville's nephews), sit together in a little chaise drawn by three galloping Welsh goats (as in No. 9760); they wear bag-wigs and gowns and raise their caps to Grenville. One of the goats gallops over a prostrate man in doctor's wig and gown. A bishop (the Archbishop of York) drives through the crowd (left to right) in an open barouche; he doffs his mitre; the coachman and three fat footmen standing behind wave their cocked hats. The crowd surrounds a wooden booth (left) and a high wagon which serves as platform for a rustic family group to view the display. The booth is placarded: 'Wonder of the World the biggest Flying Elephant in the Whole Fair'. Inside it, tiny figures peer at the posterior of a vast elephant with little wings and the head of Grenville. The background is a fantastic view of Oxford towers, which resembles, and is perhaps based on, a drawing by Rowlandson (reproduced, C. Hobhouse, 'Oxford', 1939, p. 60). The crowd fills a space between the Radcliffe Camera and the wall of All Souls abutting (right) on the west end of the Chapel. Behind (left) is the cupola over the gate of All Souls with (right) Hawkesmoor's twin towers flanking a 'Popish' cross. Tom Tower, Christ Church, much heightened and enlarged (right), behind the chapel, flies a Popish flag decorated with tiara and keys, and is traversed from top to bottom by a great fissure. Bats and carrion birds fly round it. Below the design: '-He steers his flight Aloft, incumbent on the dusky air That felt unusual weight,-Par, Lost, Lib: I. l, 225-'"--British Museum online catalgoue

"Scene on the pavement before the open door of a London house (right). A fashionable young man addresses an amateur whip, both disregarding the duns who clamour round the latter: "you've Got your Greys yet I see! I thought you wanted to get rid of them". The other answers: "O! no! keep my Greys if I can! but I want cursedly to get rid of my Duns!" He wears the long coat with many capes of a coachman, and is about to mount the box of a coach and four which waits (left), a groom standing by the near wheeler. On the coach-door is inscribed (in reversed characters) 'No Inside Passenger', above a coronet and crest: an arm holding a whip, with the motto 'Forward'. The duns include a butcher's boy with a long bill, saying, "Master says he can't Bang up Prime to Smithfield without some whipcord", and a milk-boy who says "Mrs Curd desires you'll curb the Milk Score a little Sir!" The others, who are partly hidden, say: Mr Nead the Baker will be glad to touch the bit Sir!"; "Mr Calf the Boot Maker Sir would be glad to touch the Spanish [money]"; "Mr Giblet the Poulterer desires you'll not make a Goose of him."; "I can't let your Sarvants have any more small beer & brickdust that's pos [a woman]"; "Mr Sheers the Taylor Sir, is reduced to a Button unless you send some stay Tape"; "Mr Sweetherb the greengrocer will send nothing but Crabs till the Bill is paid; Mr Stilton the Cheesemonger begs you'll consider him and let him have ever such a Mite; Mr Copal the coachmaker can't send the new Curricle, without some of the Main Spring"; "Mr Sherry the Wine Merchant can't get into Port without you raise him the Wind".

"Marie Louise (left) sits on the edge of a canopied bed adjusting her garter (she is perhaps adapted from Mrs. Fitz-herbert in Gillray's 'The Morning after Marriage', British Museum Satires No. 7298). Her back is to Napoleon, who sits up in bed turning to the Devil (right) who approaches from behind the curtain, pitchfork in hand. The Emperor's hand rests on an open book: 'Aristotle's Master-piece or the Secrets of Nature Reveal'd'. He says: "My good friend I smell your approach, and know what you are come about, I am loth to part with Maria yet, and am consulting this book before I determine, yes! yes! she must sleep with her Aunts & Cousins if it is necessary for my Reputation I'll not he laughd at". The Devil, who is nude, with horns, webbed wings, and barbed tail, answers: "Poh! Poh! dont gammon me about books, you know your impotence, send her to Heaven, or I'll withdraw my protection and you'll come to Hell presto". Marie Louise says: "Oh dear! if this is the deligt's of Love I am surfeited already, to be sure few husbands disturb their wives rest more than mine does, but it's with starting & kicking in his sleep & crying have mercy on me. I suppose Josephine used to worry him so. bless me what a smell of brimstone there is!" On the floor (right) lie a book, 'Life of Henry the VIII of England', and two documents: 'Medical opinion on ...' and 'Progeny of the Emperor of Persia'. The canopy of the large ornate bed with fringed curtains is decorated with crowns."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Marie Louise, a handsome and buxom young termagant, has seized the imperial crown and sceptre, and threatens Napoleon (left) who crouches behind the smaller of two Chairs of State on the seat of which is his tricorne hat. She looks towards him, one toe resting on the seat of the chair, the crown raised as if she was about to hurl it; she declaims: "By the Head of Jove, I hate him worse than Famine or Diseases, Perish his Family, let inveterate Hate Commence between our Houses from this Moment, And meeting never let them bloodless part." The sceptre she holds out above the head of Talleyrand (right) who has fallen on his back and raises his hands to protect his head, shouting, "Be gar she will give us all de finishing Stroke". He is unrecognizable except for his crutch and his lame leg with its surgical shoe. Across his breeches are the words 'I shall never rise again'. Napoleon exclaims distractedly: "Oh Tally Tally rise and rally". Behind is a tall ghost-like figure (? Louis XVI) clutching a sheet round his curiously drawn form, and shouting "Marblue--Vat a Crown Cracker she be". Behind the Empress is the 'Coronation Chair', surmounted by a battered crown from which flies off a cock inscribed 'Gallic Cock Roupee'. In the foreground lie heaped-up crowns, including two imperial crowns, a Papal tiara (cf. British Museum Satires no. 11360), the iron crown of Italy (as in British Museum Satires no. 10432), and a laurel wreath."--British Museum online catalogue
