Abstract:: "A kitchen scene [with a satire based on the fable of the "catspaw"]. A monkey with Wood's head squats beside a plump cat with the head in profile of Queen Caroline. She sits gazing at the fire with an eagerly expectant smile. He puts his left hand on her shoulder and takes her right paw which is supported on his knee, looking fixedly at her with greedy expectation. Between the bars of the grate are four chestnuts like large potatoes. These are inscribed respectively: 'Privileges', 'Rights', 'Liturgy', 'St Catherines'. Beside the grate and attached to a chain is a 'Kettle of Fish'. Behind the cat is a big trap with steel teeth inscribed '50 000 per Annum'. Behind it is a dresser, neatly arranged above a cupboard inscribed 'Lately from St Omers' [see British Museum Satires no. 13730]. On the dresser are a teapot and butterdish, each with a bust portrait of Bergami, and two cups, inscribed 'BB'. There are also pans inscribed 'Hash' and 'Stew', a 'Tinder' box and bottle of 'Brim-Stone'. On the chimneypiece, with other utensils, is a box of 'Matches'."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "The Queen, grossly caricatured, sits on a zebra which stands in a round band-box with a hinged and upturned lid inscribed 'a Present from Baro Bergami'. The zebra has the (profile) head of Wood, looking with greedy and imbecile satisfaction towards a sieve of food inscribed '[Wa]rden of St Catherine'. This is held out by two hands projecting from the left margin. The Queen, with a grin both calculating and insane, sits full-face, negligently holding reins attached to Wood's mouth, her left hand on her hip. She sits in a smaller (bottomless) band-box which surrounds her from hips to knees, the left leg, in frilled drawers, being thrust forward from beneath it. She wears a décolletée dress; on her head is an erection of feathers and flowers rising from a circlet inscribed 'Wood'. An owl (cf. British Museum satires no. 14199) flies by her head. In the background is Brandenburgh House, in front of which is a braying ass."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "The Queen, short and grotesque but not burlesqued, takes Bergami's left arm, looking up at him amorously; he looks down complacently at her. He is tall, handsome, florid, with much curling black hair, moustache and whiskers, and wears three orders (see British Museum Satires No. 13810); a miniature of the Queen hangs from his neck (see British Museum Satires No. 13858). His much-braided (blue) tunic and white trousers embroidered with red mould his stalwart figure. She holds a pagoda-shaped parasol, wears an absurd hat of Lancer type, a décolletée over-dress open from the high waist to show frilled drawers or trousers. From her neck dangles a large miniature of Bergami. The pair are watched by a man and woman, Italian witnesses (see British Museum Satires No. 13762, &c.), who register astonishment in the middle distance. In the background is the Villa d'Este, on the shore of Lake Como. Below the title: 'Sure such a pair were never formed to meet by Nature' [adapted from Sheridan's 'Duenna', cf.

Abstract:: "Bergami, moustachioed, whiskered, and alluring, in a tight-fitting harlequin's suit over which is a short gold-laced jacket, sits on a tall stool, holding up a life-like puppet representing the Queen. He grasps it by the waist, and pulls a ribbon, making arms and legs fly up. She smiles delightedly down at him, her ringlets flying. She wears the décolletée over-dress of British Museum Satires No. 14103, open to show frilled and spotted drawers. Bergami, part courier, part Harlequin, has a heavy queue of hair hanging from his black curls, and wears a peaked cap with a big gold tassel. A heavy postilion's whip projects from his pocket. He is directed to the left, towards an open French window and a vine trellis, with a view of Lake Como (see British Museum Satires No. 13857). He raises his right leg, looking over his left shoulder, away from his puppet. On the floor are the courier's discarded pistol, powder-flask, holster, and saddle; behind his chair are portmanteaus, one inscribed 'B B'. A large book propped against a decanter inscribed 'A Boire' is: 'Hop Step and Jump, or, every man his own Courier. List of Postes on the high road from Dunghill, to Barona' [see British Museum Satires No. 14119]. A partly dropped curtain (right) reveals two figurines embracing below a shelf of books. The carpet is patterned with hearts."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a variant state

Abstract:: "A sequel to British Museum Satires No. 13895. The Queen has reached the top of the column; she is blindfolded and wears a fool's cap; but the column is shattered by the radicals, and she falls backwards, dropping sceptre and firebrand. The pedestal tilts, the column is broken in three, and the summit is being hauled down by a rope tugged at by a cheering mob of radicals with pikes. Flames and towering clouds of smoke ascend from a large fire at its base, on which a Bible inscribed 'I H S' and books of 'Laws' and 'Religion' are burning. The Black Dwarf (Wooler, see British Museum Satires No. 12988), kneeling, blows it with bellows. Crown, Bible, and cushion fall from the column. Hunt cheers the catastrophe, waving his cap, as do others. There is a tricolour banner topped by a skull and inscribed 'Blood & Plunder'. Cobbett (?) is now on the top of the Queen's ladder, with (?) Wood who cheers from a lower rung."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "Queen Caroline, stout and raddled, with black ringlets, stands full-face and four-square, bending forward as if bowing, with a fixed stare from black beady eyes. She wears the feathered hat (caricatured) of the 'trial', and a fur-bordered pelisse. Under her right arm is a rolled document, 'List of [Addresses'; in her left hand she awkwardly raises her skirts in order to bow. She stands on a grass plot in front of Brandenburgh House. Below the design: ... 'Lo! yonder she walketh in maiden sweetness, with innocence on her mind and modesty in her cheek.-- Her hand seeketh employment; her foot delighteth not in gadding abroad.-- She is cloathed with neatness; she is fed with temperance; humility and meekness are as a crown of glory circling her head.-- Her breast is the mansion of goodness; and therefere [sic] she suspecteth no evil in others.-- Decency is in all her words; in her answers are mildness and truth.-- Submission and obedience are the lessons of her life; and peace and happiness are her rewards.-- Before her steps walketh Prudence; and Virtue attendeth at her right hand. Her eye speaketh softness and love; but discretion with a sceptre sitteth on her brow.-- The tongue of the licentious is dumb in her presence; the awe of her virtue keepeth him silent.-- Happy Bartolomeo [Bergami]!!! he putteth his heart in her bosom, and receiveth Comfort.-- Thus the prudence of her management is an honor to her husband, and he must hear her praise with silent delight.--!!!'"--British Museum online catalogue
