- Abstract:
- "George IV as the 'Great Babe' lies asleep in his cradle rocked by Lady Conyngham, while Wellington, seated before a pier-glass, places the crown on his own head. The glass reflects the dark emaciated features of British Museum Satires No. 15520. The Duke wears a uniform with boots and sword. On a table below the glass the sceptre and orb lie on a cushion. Lady Conyngham, with a towering coiffure as in British Museum Satires No. 15508, croons: Oh slumber my darling | The time may soon come | When thy rest may be broken | By Trumpet & Drum [the last three words in large letters]. The infant sucks a thumb; a gouty foot projects from the coverlet. On the floor is a line of toys: a sailing boat on wheels, a model of Buckingham Palace reconstructed by Nash as in British Museum Satires No. 15668, a giraffe (see British Museum Satires No. 15425), a Life Guard on a toy horse, a Foot-Guard, a dismantled or unfinished ship resting on a prostrate toy soldier. A napkin on a towel-horse (right) indicates a nursery."--British Museum online catalogue

On his head is poised a small but massive crown, a creel hangs at his back; he wears quasi-military dress, white gauntlet gloves, and breeches with jack-boots (cf. British Museum Satires No. 14220). In the foreground, looking up at him, is a kingfisher. In the background, at the water's edge, is a small thatched peasant's cottage behind which is Windsor Castle, on its wooded hill, flying the Royal Standard (cottage and castle being mere symbols). Below the title is a circular garter inscribed Honi. Soit. Qui. Mal. Y. Pense."--British Museum online catalogue

- "Bergami (left), dressed as a courier, stands full-face, arms raised in astonishment; he smiles down compacently at the Princess (right), who is short, fat, very décolletée, and grossly caricatured; she puts her right arm behind his waist, pointing to the right with a coarse grin of invitation. Below the title: 'The Dame was fair; but bold and forward was her mein. Unguarded roved her eye: All soft and delicate she lightly tripped along; the clear texture of her Robe betraying every Limb and adding to the charms it seemed designed to shade. She, free and debonair, hanging round his waist (she could not reach his Neck) with winning kindness thus addressed him. Dear Youth retire with me from Toils and Perils free Leave Honor to the Wretch! Pleasures were made for Thee."--British Museum online catalogue
