Abstract:
"John Bull, a sturdy citizen, displays to the Tsar who is a crowned bear on its hind-legs (left), an enormous open book: 'John Bulls Journal'. This rests on the ground, and reaches to John's chest; he points to the right.-hand page: 'The Great the Magnanimous Catherine of Russia seized upon One third of the Kingdom of Poland and Kept it to herself - These Peaceful Danes Seiz'd on the City of Hamburgh.' He says: "So you say Master Bruin, that my visit to Denmark has no parallel in History- do be so good as to turn your spectacles to this page and refresh Your Memory." The bear peers gloomily through huge spectacles at the page. Round his neck is a collar: 'This Bear belongs to Napoleo[n]'."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Groups of dancers practise figures of a cotillion in a ballroom with a small musician's gallery supported on pillars, in which are an oboist, two violinists, and a harpist, playing intently and paying no attention to a man who stands below, with outstretched arms, shouting directions. The room is lit by candles in wall brackets. In the centre of the balcony is an oval medallion: a man plays a lyre and three nude nymphs dance. Several of the dancers hold papers of directions headed 'Cotilion', with a description of figures '1' to '8'. The scene is one of confusion. On the left persons stand inspecting the dancers. One man only is dressed as a blood of the period with cropped hair, high-collared waistcoat, 'hanging collar', and long breeches (see British Museum Satires No. 8040, &c). He stands (left) superciliously inspecting the dancers through an eye-glass."--British Museum online catalogue and The pictures in the image amplify the subject: Nymphs dancing to music of lyre

Abstract:
"The full face of Clifford, based on a fashionably swathed neck-cloth and high coat-collar, fills the design. The mouth is open as if shouting. The eyes and part of the cheeks are covered by circles representing huge spectacles. Each contains a symmetrical view of Covent Garden Theatre seen from the stage, showing pit, three tiers of boxes, and the centre of the two galleries (the 'pigeon-holes' not appearing), all crowded. The views differ only in the performers on the stage, two actors on the right (one clearly Kemble, probably as Macbeth), and on the left two actors and a file of soldiers. Superimposed on the middle of each circular design is a large 'O' (left) and 'P' (right). Round the broad rims of the spectacles: (left) 'Old House Old Prices & No Private Boxes' and (right) 'Old House Old Prices & No Pigeon Holes'. On the bridge across the nose: 'N.P.B.' (No Private Boxes, see British Museum Satires No. 11421)."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A conventional vine-branch ascends the left side of the design, then turns at right angles; from it hangs a symmetrical cluster of heads or masks of Fox and his supporters with closed eyes; the stalk attaching it to the branch is inscribed 'Ripe Fruit for Old Nick'. The central and largest head is that of Fox. On the left and right and slightly lower are the heads of North and Burke; these three are larger than the remaining heads. Between them and beneath Fox's chin are Keppel (left), and (right) perhaps Jack Lee. The apex of the cluster, between the stalk and Fox, is Lord Derby looking downwards. Flanking him, in profile, are Lord Stormont (left) and Lord John Cavendish (right)-Below Stormont and above North is the Duke of Portland, in profile to the left. Below Cavendish and above Burke is an unidentified profile having some resemblance to Carlisle. The lowest point of the cluster is the mask of Sam House. Between this and the heads of North and Burke on each side are two small profiles: below North (left) that of Hall the apothecary, and between Hall and House the hideous profile of the Westminster Justice (? Kelly), see BMSat 6575, &c.; below Burke (right) that of the Earl of Surrey, and between Surrey and House that of Powys. On the ground at the foot of the vine-branch and beneath the cluster is a pile of objects inscribed 'Trophies'. In the foreground (left) is a pair of crutches inscribed 'Patriotic Props'. In the centre of the base of the pile are (left) a fox's brush inscribed 'Euphorbium' (an allusion to the 'sneezing-bag' thrown at Fox, see BMSat 6426, &c.) and (right) a mask of the faces of Fox and North inscribed 'Coalition' imitated from 'The Mask by Sayers', see BMSat 6234. On the extreme left is a document inscribed 'Œconomy (but the word scored through) 24,000l. Pr Annum'; against it lie a pair of spectacles, emblems of Burke and the meagre results of his Bill of Economical Reform (cf. BMSat 5657). On the extreme right is a pestle (inscribed 'Capricum, Capricum') and mortar and another pair of spectacles, emblems of Hall the apothecary. Beside the pestle is a document inscribed 'Receipt Tax', an unpopular measure of the Coalition (see BMSat 6243, &c.) which was dropped by Pitt; a flag inscribed 'July 27th', a gibe at Keppel's conduct at the Battle of Ushant in 1778 (see BMSat 5992, &c); a paper inscribed 'American War', a gibe at North. In the centre, lying against the fox's brush, is a document inscribed 'India Bill' (see BMSat 6271, &c.) and an open book inscribed 'Platonic Love'. The three remaining trophies, at the summit of the pile, are a weaver's shuttle inscribed 'Weavers', to insinuate that Fox had bribed Spitalfields weavers to vote for him, see BMSat 6575, &c.; a laurel branch, emblem of victory in the Westminster Election; and a butcher's cleaver inscribed 'Westminster Election', emblem of the butchers canvassed by the Duchess of Devonshire"--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
The disproportionately large heads in wigs of, from left, Lord North, Charles Fox, and Edmund Burke, are displayed on top of Temple Bar. The arch contains reversed and burlesqued royal arms. In three niches below the arch stand headless statues of, from left, North as Avarice, Fox, shown as a fox, as Ambition, and Burke as Hypocrisy. The declaration signed by 'Justice' and pasted to the gate in the archway explains the reasons for elevating the three Whigs so highly, in a manner reminiscent of the execution of the Jacobite leaders in 1746. On the left are pasted two playbills. The upper one refers to the King's candidates in the Westminster election, the lower one to Fox as Cromwell, North as Boreas, and Burke as St. Omer, a 7th-century bishop who became blind in his old age. On the opposite side of the archway, an advertisement by 'Dr. Ax' is followed by a plea for votes from Cerberus whose three heads are named after North, Burke, and Fox
