Abstract:: "Plate from the 'Satirist', xiii. 193. In the text the title continues '. . ., "alias" War'. A satire on the Congress of Prague. Four sovereigns, completely unlike the men in question, in conference. The Tsar sits behind a small rectangular table on which are displayed implements of war in miniature: cannon, pyramids of cannon-balls, muskets, swords, drums, &c., and flags on one of which are fleurs-de-lis. On the left stand the King of Prussia and the Emperor of Austria, on the right is Napoleon. Alexander extends his hands rhetorically, turning to the left, with a puckered scowl, to say to the two Germans: "Come Gentlemen see first if you can agree--if not we'll all fight!" He has quasi-Kalmuck features, and wears an odd-shaped crown, an ermine-bordered robe, with a jewelled necklace and a Greek cross. Frederick William III, on the extreme left, clutches the hilt of his sword and puts his left hand to his cocked hat as if ready to doff it, he turns to Francis I, towards whom a label issues from his mouth: "I am ready to treat or to fight"; a second label floats to the left, inscribed 'Infernal Scoundrel'. Francis I, looking distracted, stands directed to the right, legs apart, and in his left hand is his sabre, the blade of which curves over the Tsar's head, but both hands touch his crown, and he says: "I will wear an independant Crown." He wears hussar uniform, cloak, sash, and elaborately embroidered tunic and pantaloons. Napoleon, tall and burly, with heavy whisker and aquiline profile, wears a plumed bicorne with tricolour cockade and very tattered uniform leaving his legs almost bare, with one dilapidated jack-boot and one damaged stocking; he has a long sword. He stands aggressively with arms dramatically extended, saying, "My Friends! all we wish is Peace." A chain is attached to each great toe, which is fastened to the necks of two miserable princes, tiny figures standing between his outstretched legs. One (left), Charles IV of Spain, wearing a crown and robe, grotesquely knock-kneed and despairing, stands full-face. The other, wearing a crown with uniform and sword, stoops in profile, looking up abjectly at Napoleon's legs. On the extreme right, in the middle distance, is a tall Spanish don, much emaciated, wrapped in a cloak. He looks down with folded arms at a fat British officer beside him, who says: "I ll countenance Austria into our interests." The Spaniard: "I'll be damned if I go to meet a Frenchman in Prague, while there is a Frenchman to meet in Spain!!!" Behind them in the background a tiny Napoleon, wearing a grotesque crown and holding a sword, marches downhill at the head of his soldiers carrying flags; he has a melancholy expression and approaches the edge of a precipitous descent."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "Wellington on the extreme left, seated in profile on his white horse, looks down at three officers who heap trophies at his feet. He says: "Why! here's enough for three nights Illumination!" An officer answers: "Three times Three! My Lord!!" Another, holding two eagles with their tattered tricolour flags, holds out a marshal's baton, saying, "Here's Marshal Jordens Rolling-pin." The third, wearing hussar uniform, and holding an eagle with a flag inscribed 'La Emperu . . .', points behind and to the right, saying, "And here comes their Last Cannon!!" In the middle distance a soldier is dragging after him downhill a cannon by a rope attached to the muzzle; he says, grinning, "By St Patrick I think we have taken all they brought from Parts!"; a drummer bestrides the gun beating his drum and shouting, and a third man stands astride it on the gun-carriage, waving a Union flag and his shako and shouting "Huzza Huzza". Two asses are harnessed tandem to the gun-carriage and are being dragged backwards, one slides on its haunches the other rears; on each is a French soldier wearing a bonnet rouge; one says: "By Gar every ting goes backwards with us." On the hill lies a dead soldier' burlesqued and wearing a bonnet rouge, his legs raised from the ground by his huge spurs; near him is a decapitated body with the detached head still wearing a grenadier's cap. In the foreground (right) are sacks of coin, and a chest inscribed 'Plunder', heaped with church plate."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "A provincial Assembly Room. A musicians' gallery (right) is above a recess which is the entrance from the street. In this a young woman changes pattens for dancing-shoes, supporting herself on the arm of a stout woman with a pin-cushion slung from her arm. A lighted lantern stands on the floor. In the foreground a couple advances from this entry, meeting a younger pair. In the background against the wall couples are dancing, facing each other, the man holding his partner's wrist. An absurd couple on a settee (left) flirt, the lady holding a tumbler, the man fanning her. Behind, two men delightedly inspect a paper headed 'Election 1812'. On the wall is a bill: 'Sir Toby Spendall returns his most grateful thanks to the worthy Freemen for thier kind support during the late Election.' From the pocket of an elderly man near the door hang two papers: 'State of the Pole' and 'To the Worthy Freemen'. In the foreground (right) a pair of half-boots, a cane, and a hat lie together. The room is lit by hanging candelabra and candle-sconces."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "Napoleon, a grotesque mannikin in a strait-waistcoat, sits on a three-legged 'Stool of Repentance' which stands in a large tub of 'Hot Water', whose steaming contents are inscribed 'Sea of Troubles'. The waistcoat is inscribed 'Allied Strait Waist-coat'; it has long sleeves extending far beyond his hands, the ends held by the Tsar (left) and a Cossack (right) so that the captive's arms are horizontally extended. His head is bald and is in profile to the left; he has a beak-like nose and his mouth gapes like a young bird's for a huge bolus inscribed 'Invasion of France' which John Bull, a fat 'cit', puts into his mouth. Alexander, who wears an ill-fitting bag-wig poised on his own hair, holds a knout with knotted lashes, inscribed 'Russia Hemp'; he says: "I have found, a constant application of this Russian Knout to work Wonders!!" John Bull, who stands beside him, says: "Work away my Masters I'll pay you your fees ay ay rave & rant Master Boney but the Devil will Bone you at last." In the centre of the design, high above the other figures, stands a grotesque Dutchman, with a conical hat, a frill round his neck, and grinning features. In his hat is a ribbon inscribed 'Orange' and a pipe. He holds up a short cannon or mortar inscribed 'Dutch Drops' [see British Museum Satires No. 12114], from which pours a flood containing tiny replicas of himself armed with dagger, axe, a blunderbuss or bayonet, who descend upon Napoleon's head; among these are balls (bullets or oranges), the largest inscribed 'Orange Boven'. He says: "We'll try what Dutch Drops will do!" By the tub (right) kneels a Spanish don, wearing slashed tunic and breeches, with cloak and ruff; he applies a plaster to Napoleon's back inscribed 'Spanish Flies' [cantharides or blister-beetles, see British Museum Satires No. 11016], and grins broadly, saying, "Here is a Plaster of Spanish flies for his - ." Behind him stands the Cossack, piercing Napoleon's left arm with his long spear, making a fountain of blood spurt into a bowl, inscribed 'Crown Bowl', held by Bernadotte, the Crown Prince of Sweden. Bernadotte wears an absurd powdered wig with queue perched on his own hair which is in a small pigtail. On the wig is poised a cocked hat. He says: "I think my Crown Razors have shaved his Crown pretty close." From his belt hangs an open razor, the blade inscribed 'Best Crown Steel'. Like Alexander, he wears uniform with jack-boots. The tub stands upon flames inscribed 'Moscow' from which emerge the towers and buildings of the city, see No. 12049. Napoleon frantically flourishes above the water one thin leg in a huge jack-boot with a giant spur. He exclaims: "Hence with your Medecines--they but drive me Mad-- Curse on your Dutch Drops your Leipsic Blister [see British Museum Satires No. 12093, &c.] & your Spanish flies they have fretted me to what I am D--n your Cossack Lancets They have drained my veins and rendered me poor & vulnerable indeed!--Oh! how I am fallen--But I will still struggle--I will still be great--Myriads of Frenchmen still shall uphold the glory of my Name the Granduer [sic] of my Throne & write my disgrace in the hearts of ye--ye Wretched creatures of English Gold!" On the extreme right a Frenchman wearing a bonnet rouge looks in through a window, much perturbed. He says: "By gar de grande Bounaparte get into de hot water at last, he no like his Doctors--by gar he say they be no doctors, but de journeymen of dat great Doctor John Bull." Behind Alexander and on the extreme left is the 'Allied Medecine Chest'. It contains a jar of 'Surgical Instruments' bristling with cutting and slashing weapons, axes, bayonets, sword, &c., with a jagged saw; a pile of 'snow balls' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 11917, &c.], and a jar of 'Cossack Leeches'."--British Museum online catalogue
