- Abstract
-
"A kettle and a pot are side by side on the flames behind the bars of a wide grate. The former is topped by the angry and startled face of the King, framed by wig and whiskers, and more caricatured than the Queen, whose head and bare shoulders emerge from the wide mouth of the pot. Steam, covered with words, issues from the mouth of both. The King, shrinking from, and glaring at his wife: "Hiss Hiss out Hiss Hiss The Devil begone you dirty grecepot." From the spout: "Hubble Bubble Toil and Trouble." His crown flies from his head. The Queen is more composed; she wears a feathered hat, and says: "Remember when the Judgements weak the prejudice is strong." The flames under the kettle are inscribed 'Leach' [see British Museum Satires No. 13740], 'L . . . pool', 'C . . . h'; the fuel consists of bags inscribed 'Green Bag' [see British Museum Satires No. 13735]. Under the Queen is one 'Green Bag' together with several stout sticks inscribed 'Bergami Pear Tree' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 13869], 'A bit of Wood', and 'Broom Stick', the last two being her advisers, Wood, instigator-in-chief, and Brougham, cf. British Museum Satires No. 13730. See British Museum Satires No. 13760, &c."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a reversed version of the same design
