Abstract:
"John Bull capers on one leg, arms raised, looking down delightedly at little capering creatures at his feet whose bodies are composed of food or drink. These have human arms and legs (as in British Museum Satires no. 9851) and are flanked by two similar figures on a larger scale: a joint of beef (left), inscribed 'Sir Loin for ever' and decorated with sprigs of holly, sits on a flight of steps holding 'O the roast Beef of Old England', the tune to which they dance. On the extreme right sack inscribed 'Genuine Flour, No Adulteration' dances with heavy dignity. Two musicians are on the left: a frothing tankard of 'Old Stout', decorated with the Royal Arms as in BMSat 9851, plays a fiddle; a loaf of 'The Best Wheaten Bread' plays a pipe. The dancers are: 'Mutton 3d 1/2 Pr Pound'; 'Prime Hops, no Quashee'; 'Double Gloucester'; 'Jamaica Rum'; 'Old Port', and 'Coniac'. On a smaller scale in the foreground are 'Peace and Mealy Potatoes' and 'Excellent Fresh Butter', the last like a ballerina with petticoats extended."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
A satire on Napoleon's Russian campaign. "Cossacks, led by Platoff, pursue, across a river, a fox with the head and huge bicorne of Napoleon. The Russians ride their horses through the water. The fox, larger in scale than the other figures, takes a flying leap to the shore (right). He says: "Hark, I hear the Cry of Cossacks. The [sic] have got Scent of me -I must take to my heels once more, the are close to my Brush." His tail is inscribed 'Corsican Fox'. Across the lower edge of the design runs a strip of land on which are frogs; one, inscribed 'French Frog', waddles off, while one on the extreme left is being speared. Of the other frogs a few turn to oppose the Cossacks with bayonets; these have a tricolour flag; the majority are escaping to the right, a row of heads and sloped bayonets, with one eagle. Platoff, whose high fur cap has a long plume inscribed 'Platoff', riding with levelled spear, shouts: "Hark forward my boys get along! he runs in view. Yoics. Yoics. There he goes, Tally-ho!" His daughter, in the middle distance, rides through the water, pointing with the hand that holds the reins, and raising a whip; she shouts: "Hi, ho, Tally, ho! For a husband." Cossacks gallop up from the background (left), leap from a low cliff into the river, and swim through it, one carrying a standard with the Russian eagle, behind the two Platoffs. In the background is a town flying a flag inscribed 'Leapsic'; tiny horsemen, evidently Cossacks, gallop out of the city gate."--British Museum online catalogue
