Abstract:: "William IV, as Mars, in Roman armour, stands defiantly in a war-chariot drawn by three galloping horses, ridden by Discord, a virago with serpents for hair, who brandishes a handful of serpents. He holds a shield inscribed 'Signed Protocols', and a levelled spear; on his helmet is a dragon with gaping jaws. The chariot advances upon terrified Dutch soldiers (left), who flee; one drops his musket, but one on the extreme left (William I) stands firm beside the muzzle of a cannon and glares at the King with an obstinate scowl. They have high-crowned hats, with a ribbon inscribed 'Orange'. Facing the chariot-horses (left) are a menacing Russian bear and a Prussian Death's Head hussar with a levelled blunderbuss. Discord, looking sideways at the Prussian though turning away from him, says: 'A word in your Ear! there's nothing meant, its all show just to frighten these Dutchmen a little'. Under the chariot is a document inscribed 'Treatys'; the wheel is about to collide with a large stone inscribed 'Ireland', on which the features of O'Connell are faintly suggested. Behind the chariot are three Furies, with serpents for hair, and holding firebrands and bunches of serpents. Rushing forward, they urge the King on; they are (left to right) Grey, Durham, and Brougham. As a background to the chariot a swarm of countless frogs (French soldiers) is dimly suggested; they rush forward, with a tricolour flag. On the front of the chariot perches a Gallic cock. In the foreground (right) stands John Bull, stout and spectacled; he clutches his 'Reform Bill', and gapes up in horror, saying, 'Hey dey here's a bobbery, just as I was going to look over my Reform Bill quietly, what do they mean not to go to war sure now,!! after suffering Poland to be annihilated & Germany trampled on, Oh nonsense! Nonsense'."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "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. The scene is watched from a distance by the Emperor of Austria, who draws his sword, saying, I should like a bit of that."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "The Russian bear (left), standing on its hindlegs on the edge of a narrow stream, 'The Vistula', holds Napoleon in its forepaws. Talleyrand steps out of the stream on to the further bank (right), blowing a trumpet from which issues a billowing cloud on which he writes a dispatch with a large pen. The upper waters of the stream are inscribed 'The Bug'; a placard on a post in the water is inscribed: 'Hic Jacet - Snug - in the Bug - several thousand of the Great Nation.' The bear says: "Hush a bye! Hush a bye! take it all quietly - you'll soon find yourself as Snug as a Bug in a Rugg". Napoleon, gesticulating wildly towards Talleyrand, says: "Oh D----n the bug. I wish I had never seen it. My Dear Talley - dont tell my faithfull subjects the true state of my Situation - any thing but the truth my Dear Tally. Oh this cursed Russian Bear how close he hug me." Talleyrand, his back to his master, answers, "Leave me alone for a Bulletin." Two clouds issue from his trumpet: the smaller and darker rises: '7,000 Prisoners, 3000 drowned, 12 Eagles taken, 6,000[?] Killed.' The other cloud descends, on it Talleyrand has written, his pen by the final word: 'For Paris Grand Bulletin The august Emperor of the great Nation, informs his faithfull and beloved Subjects, that having performed Wonders on the banks of the Bug. he has now closed a glorious campaign for the season, and retired with Ease and Comfort into Winter Quarters - '. He wears a mitre, bag-wig, a gown over his suit kilted up by a girdle from which swings a rosary and an ink-pot resembling a bowl for holy water. His right leg has a bowed shin, and his shoe is raised on blocks. On the ground by the bear are Napoleon's large bicorne and sword. Behind (left) is part of the façade of a 'State Prison', surmounted by a Russian Eagle, and inscribed 'Prisoners of War.' The races of French prisoners are pressed against heavily barred windows. In the background is a large encampment."--British Museum online catalogue
