- Abstract:
- "A grossly obese John Bull and his lean and ugly wife, both wearing hats, sit on upright chairs, gormandizing. The man holds a whole chicken to his mouth, taking a huge bite. The woman (left) faces him, biting a large melon which she holds with both hands to an enormous mouth. He is morosely savage, she is melancholy; both are gap-toothed. On the ground (right) by the man's chair are collected a ham or gigot, a large irregular (?) galantine, a raised pie: 'pâté de périgueux', a huge jar of 'vin de lafitte' round which four bottles are grouped: 'frontignac', 'Clos de Vouge[ot]', and '. . . seac'. Beside the woman are a basket and tray filled with grapes, peaches, and pears. Through a wide doorway (left) the street is seen with a seated fruit-seller who serves three grotesquely hideous Englishwomen. Two are lank and emaciated, one tries to stuff a big peach into an immense mouth, holding an armful of grapes and peaches; the other gnaws at a bunch of grapes held in both hands. The third, also with bulging cheeks, bites a peach. The fruit-seller's tray is empty; she holds out her last peach. All the women wear small absurd hats or caps, tight long-waisted bodices (coloured) with long white skirts (cf. No. 12359)."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "The candidate, stout and plainly dressed stands on a cask, bawling with outstretched hand at his audience, who are grouped below him, their heads only appearing, except for figure in the foreground. Here a lady (three-quarter length), a veil hanging from her hat over her face, and forming a background to her handsome profile, puts coins from a bag into the extended palm of a man, who gazes fixedly at her face, and who may be intended for a butcher. In the crowd, a fist strikes one man in the eye another is being slapped on the cheek. Three profiles gaze up cynically at the speaker, one is drinking."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- A line of seven figures all caricatured with animalistic features, marching right to left, shown full-length. The first character blows a horn, carries a violin and bow in his hands and on a string around his waist another horn with smoke coming out hangs over his behind; he is wearing spectacles and a scarf aroung his head as well as a Roman-style pink dress; he has wings and appears to have a breast. In the text above his head: En avant la renommeé? Sur l'air: j'ai du bon tabac, dans Misantropie et repentir. The second figure is wearing Roman armour and carries a long-handled pan; he has claws for hands, a bird's face and tail feathers. On top of his helmet sits a rat. The text above his head reads: Tais toi! Geulard, vilain menteur de Constitutionel; j' t'ai dis que l'premier qui tomeroit sous ma griffe, il aura beau crier ... la mort ... aura.." The third figure with a large belly has a highly caricatured face with large, exaggerated features and fangs; he wears a bonnet. He is armed with a knife hanging in his belt as well as a long sword on a chain. Above his head are the words: Mais, mon Capitaine t'as dis qu't' allois les prendre en flanc j' l'aime bien, moi, l'flanc, tu m'en donneras? .. ain!" The fourth and fifth figures both have wolf-like faces. The one also has a tail and carries a hoe and a basket with a second wicker basket on his back. The writing above his head, " Qu' est-ce qu' en veut? Des lettres de falaise, en voulez vous d' la Chicorée?" The other's clothes are tattered and short, with a sash around his waist; he wears a straw hat and smokes a pipe. Above his head is written, "J' vons avertir not' Capitaine, qu' j'ons vu' à la Rapée des Goujons ... ultras. The final two, both with large snouts and fangs, surround a cannon, the one is pulling it and the other standing crossed-armed looking angrily at his companion in conversation with the figure ahead of him. Above their heads, first, "On dit qu' i' z'ont l'vent su' nous mais c'est qu' j' disque p'tite pluis abat grand vents" and last "On! si j' pouvois attraper l'beau local (l' bocal) aux Conichons ... Oh! c'est sure."

- Abstract:
- A companion plate to Le Départ (British Museum satire no. 12362), satirizing the haste of the English to visit France in 1814 and their gluttony and bad dressing. The Frenchman who cooks a cat is a subject of English caricatures on the favourite theme of the beggarly Frenchman and well-fed Englishman. In this print. "A lean Englishman strides on to the quayside from an (invisible) gangway leading to the deck of a packet, which is seen below (right), covered with the heads of passengers, looking eagerly upwards. The furled sails and rigging are on the extreme right; a dove holding an olive-branch sits on a spar. A jovial French cook leads the Englishman, who grasps his left wrist; he points to a doorway on the extreme left, below the sign 'Au Bien Venu'. He holds the white cotton night-cap which was the cap of the French cook, but is not foppish as in English caricature, but manly and sturdy. The traveller is a grotesque figure wearing a hat shaped like a flower-pot, [this hat appears in almost all satires on English costumes in Paris, c. 1814; it is worn by a man dressed à l'Anglais in No. 53 of the 'Bon Genre Series' (? 1813): 'Cheveux à Cherubin. Chapeau en pot à fleurs. Redingote en Robe de Chambre'; cf. J.-P. de Bérenger, 'Les Boxeurs', 1814: Quoique leurs chapeaux sont bien laids / Goddam! moi j'aime les Anglais] long tail-coat, wrinkled breeches, and long ill-fitting gaiters on very thin legs. His profile has an absurdly heavy chin (cf. British Museum no. 12364), and he registers eager expectation. On a flap projecting from a window beside the door are peaches, grapes, pears, &c. Within a courtyard a second cook leans from an attic window, knife in hand, to catch a cat by the tail, one of several scampering from the ridge-pole."--British Museum online catalogue
