In a tavern diners eat eagerly as they sit crowded around tables each covered in white linen and divided from each other by curtains. A waiter delivers a covered tureen to the table on the right as he crosses pathes with the waitress hurrying to the left with two tankards of beer. The diners' hats hang on pegs around the walls. A chandelier hangs before three casement windows with oval mirrors decorating the walls between. The tavern has been identified as either the Rainbow Tavern or the Wheatsheaf Eating House, both on Fleet Street

"A copy by Rowlandson after the 1774 Bunbury print, 'The hopes of the family - an admission at the university', a satire on a socially aspirational family: a youth is being examined by a tutor for admission to Cambridge university; the tutor, in academic robes, is seated at a table pointing at a large volume resting beside a globe; the youth stands counting on his fingers while his eager father, wearing countryman's boots, urges him on; on the left a woman, probably the tutor's housekeeper, holds two further volumes, and on the right an elegant undergraduate stands smiling; on the wall behind are portraits of "Dr Allcock" and a woman, a Roman bust with turned down mouth on the lintel above the door, and a frame with the plan and elevation of a building."

"A bear (right), wearing Cossack trousers and an imperial crown surmounted by a double-headed eagle, runs off to the right. He carries a piece of mountainous country inscribed Greece on which kneels a tiny Greek in profile to the left, exclaiming Save me from my Friends. The bear (the Tsar) tramples on the neck of a turkey, with the bearded, turbaned, and terrified head of the Sultan, which lies on its back. The bear looks fiercely over his shoulder towards an angry English sailor who sits in an open boat with a cannon mounted in the bows. The sailor wears a top-hat with a ribbon inscribed Navar[ino, see BM Satires No. 15507, &c]; he has dropped an oar to lean back, extending his clenched fist towards the bear, and shouting: Halloo--master-drop that, or d--me I'll run along side of you, in no time. Cannon-balls are piled in the stern; above them flies a Union flag topped by oak leaves. On the farther side of the water (left) stands Charles X, a capering French fop in the dress of the ancien régime, with a cane under his arm. He says: By gar he is take away all de Greece.

"A complicated piece of machinery fills the centre of a room in a fashionable establishment; an open door (right) leads into a shop where, in the background, a pretty and extravagantly dressed woman (in the costume of c. 1828) presides at a counter; above the door is a model of the machine, 'Patent Shavograph!!!' Through a window (left) is seen the 'Ladies Hair Cutting Room': another machine operates on seated ladies, whose long hair is raised perpendicularly into the mechanism. Above the window is an erection of erect loops of hair, burlesquing the fashion. A dandy, waiting his turn, ogles the ladies through his monocle. Another, sitting on a chair (left), reads a newspaper, 'Herald'. The 'Shavograph' operates from right to left upon the customers who sit on a circular bench, each with his head held firm in a wedge cut from a millstone-like disk (B) at the back of his seat. The razor has just sliced off the nose of an officer who stands gesticulating wildly, putting his hand before splashing blood while one dismayed neighbour rises from his seat, and the other shouts 'Stop! Stop!' Four men on the left, waiting their turn for the razor, &c, to reach them, are unconscious of the accident. One is having his head pressed into position by a rod held by a fashionably dressed man (H) who is also working a lever. Below the design, in the border of the print: 'EXPLANATION.

Abstract:
"Eight of the select vestry of St. Paul's, Covent Garden, dine in the Vestry Room, while the beadle blocks the doorway on the extreme right, saying, You can't come in now--the "Select" are engaged. A parson, identified as Dr. Richards, is in the chair at the head of the table; mopping his bald head he says blandly: "Dont be afraid of the viands, Gentlemen--although our fatigues are great, I hope we shall convince the parishioners we can do our duties at the table if we do not at the Board. Decanters of Port and Sherry, a ham, and a turkey are on the table; a dwarfish footman brings in a dish of ducks. A second footman oafishly holds out a glass of wine to the chairman, spilling the contents of a soup plate on to the head of a guzzling fellow gnawing a bone, who is identified as Alderman Winchester. The latter's neighbour eats with a knife; all but the parson-chairman appear ill-bred; one turns aside to vomit. The parson's vis-à-vis, identified as Mr. Staunton, leans back in his chair, asleep with food on his fork, while a spectacled doctor, identified as Dr. Morgan (not a guest) proffers a bottle of Rose Water. From the pocket of a gross and carbuncled man, identified as Mr. Thompson, hangs a paper: Hush-Money from certain Brothells, Flash-Houses &c &c. He drinks, putting his foot on that of a small man, 'Fentum', who stares at him knowingly. On the left is a large scroll: Items of Expences--for visiting the pauper Children --Dinner & dessert--£9"9"0, Lemon--0"1"0 Ten bottles Bucellas--3"0"0.

"Nicholas I, in uniform with plumed cocked hat, rides (right to left) a gigantic Russian eagle, his sword raised to slash. The eagle holds in one of its beaks a round wicker coop which it drops over a turkey crouching on a grassy slope (left). From each predatory beak a cloud issues, inscribed WAR in large elaborate letters. The heraldic bird is very much alive, one claw clutching a sceptre, the other an orb. The Tsar stands in his stirrups; his saddle is superimposed on the shield on the bird's breast on which is a mounted knight in armour with visor down and sword raised. To the shield are appended eagles and other emblems. Far below (right) is a snow-covered plain where tiny Cossacks gallop with levelled spears, chasing Turks, The sky is filled with flame and smoke from blazing buildings. On the left from among the smoke emerges the dark silhouette of a profile bust of Napoleon; he says: Europe look well to this beware of the Kelmuc [sic]."--British Museum online catalogue

The Duke of Wellington stands before the King who sits on his throne, his right foot resting on a footstool. Dressed in uniform and standing very erect, Wellington holds out a large cross-hilted sword at an angle between himself and the King. From his plumed cocked hat, which he holds behind him, hangs a piece of paper with the words "Military commission to throw dust in John Bull's eyes." Projecting from his back pockets, are two papers labelled "Church patronage" and "Army patronage." A lady, Lady Conyngham, is seen peaking between the curtains behind the throne of the puzzled-looking King. The crown is on a table behind Wellington
