Abstract:
"Fox (right) has just fired a musket at the British Lion (left), who lies beneath a cushion on which are the crown and sceptre; in his paws is a large scroll: 'The Rights of the People'. Fox takes deliberate aim, resting his musket on the back of his shooting-pony (his stalking-horse), whose head is held by Sheridan. The headband, inscribed 'Ich Dien', and holding the Prince's feathers, indicates the Prince of Wales. His eyes are covered by blinkers. Under his fore-feet are two papers: 'Addresses from Edinburgh Glasgow Borough of Southwark' and 'City of London Vote of Thanks to Mr Pitt . . . 267'. Papers issue from Sheridan's coat-pocket and flutter to the ground: 'Paragraph against the Minister, Puffs direct for the P------e, Puffs oblique for the P------e of W(an allusion to the passage on 'the Puff direct', &c, in 'The Critic', 1. ii), Abuse of the Minister'. Under his foot is the 'Oath of Allegiance'."--British Museum online catalogue

"Four men, raffishly prosperous, dance forward together in a line, three in tipsy joviality, one dragged forward, ill and dejected. The Irishman and Englishman have their arms entwined, one flourishes a cane, the other a handkerchief. The melancholy Scot holds the Englishman's coat-tail. The jovial Welshman takes the Scot's left arm, waving his hat. Each wears, in top-hat and coat, his national flower: shamrock, rose, thistle, leek. The Scot wears quasi-tartan trousers."--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

"Canning and Eldon, both in shirt-sleeves and about equally matched, face each other in a small boat: Cabinet. Cock Boat.

At each end of the boat is a figure-head, one of the supporters of the Royal Arms, each with a flag-staff set in its head. Behind Canning (left) is the Unicorn; his flag Catholic Supremacy. The Lion is behind Eldon (right), with the flag of Protestant Ascendancy. Canning: I shall be too much for you you are too slow in your Motions. Eldon : I doubt it! The Purse of the Great Seal hangs over the boat beside Eldon, who wears wig and bands. On the extreme right the sun rises (or sets)--it irradiates the sky behind Eldon."--British Museum online catalogue
