Abstract:
"Two men sit in a dilapidated room, the floor completely covered by water in which three pigs wade, ducks swim and dive, and geese run aggressively towards a dog. Their feet rest on boulders. One stout man in a broken chair sits with his elbows on a small round table, holding up a large watch, the hands showing that it is 9.40, and yawning deeply. On the table are a decanter containing a tiny 'blue devil', cf. British Museum Satires No. 8745, and a guttering candle stuck in a potato at which a rat is nibbling. Another rat runs up the table leg. The other man (right), with closed eyes, and hands on knees, sits on a stool, registering melancholy resignation. One pig (left) devours a 'Racing Calendar' which floats on the water. A fire of sticks burns smokily on a wide hearth; a large pot is overturning, the contents gushing over. Above the chimney-piece hangs a picture in a broken frame of a country house. There is one small casement window, half boarded up, the other half partly stuffed up with a pair of breeches. A ham and a hare hang from hooks in the ceiling. High up on the wall is a small shelf on which is broken china; a cat stands on it."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
In a crowded tavern before a large roaring fire, Dr. Syntax sits on a bench smoking his pipe as he engages in debate with three companions. A man leans over the back of the bench and blows a large cloud of smoke into the back of Dr. Syntax's head. The room is filled with military personnel who frolic and flirt with pretty girls; the barmaid stands at the bar pouring wine. Everyone has a full glass at hand. The signs on either side of a large clock read "Real Yorkshie stinco" and "No trust here".

Abstract:
"Napoleon lies in bed, with a fat Dutchman seated on his chest, puffing tobacco smoke at his face, and saying "Orange Boven." He grips Napoleon's neck between his legs; the two men face each other in profile, one staring up, terrified, the other looking down. Napoleon's right arm hangs down from the bed, his fist is clenched, his feet (right), with crisped toes, project from under the coverlet. The Dutchman wears a high-crowned hat, with a large (orange) cockade, and bulky breeches; his left hand is in his breeches pocket. The curtains and counterpane are patterned with eagles; the curtains hang from a circular canopy topped by a large crown and a trophy of sword, sceptre, and eagle. They are drawn aside to frame the two figures. On the fringed pelmet eagles alternate with crowns and a papal tiara, emblem of the humiliation of the Papacy. On the right stand two enormous fasces with projecting lictor's axes, the blades turned towards Napoleon. On a stool in front of the bed are the Emperor's bicorne and sword."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Four elderly parsons, grossly fat, apparently Fellows of Brasenose College, are seated in stuffed arm-chairs at a small dinner-table. One (right) carves a capon, another ladles soup from a tureen, the others drink. One servant hands wine, another brings in a bowl, into which his nose drips as in Swift's 'Directions to Servants' (cf. British Museum Satires No. 10918). A third in the doorway, more unkempt than the others, brings in a sucking-pig. On the floor (right) is a paper: 'A New form of Prayer, Gravy Soup, Mock Turtle, 'Cods Head', 'Turbott', 'Haunch of Venison', 'Stewed Carp', 'Roast Ducks', 'Pidgeon Rye', 'Woodcocks', 'Jelly', 'Marrow Pudding'. On the left are a wine-cooler, many bottles, three labelled 'Burg[undy]', 'Ho[ck]', 'Clar[et]', a loving-cup, a punchbowl inscribed 'Bowl for a Bishop', with lemons, a cork-screw, and the lid of the tureen. On the walls are pictures: 'Bench of Bi[shops]' [in reversed characters], parsons carousing at a table, some lolling in easy chairs; 'Ecclesiastical Court', an elderly man (or woman) doing penance in a sheet and holding a candle; 'View of Brazen Nose Col.', a college quadrangle; a picture of an anchorite in the wilderness, holding a cross; 'Susannah' [and the Elders]; 'Portrait of S . . . Fellow Commoner of Braze[nose]' [the subject cut off by the upper margin]. There are also two notices, partly obscured, on the wall: 'This Day Being Proclaimed A Fast . . . Church', and 'List of Great Tythes Church Lands . . '."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The Powers of Europe toss Napoleon in a blanket. He flies into the air, legs above his head, dropping crown and sceptre, his sword also falls. He exclaims with an agonized expression: "O Misericordé." Three figures hold the front of the sheet, in back view, but with upturned profiles: in the centre is John Bull, a fat 'cit', bald-headed, his hat and wig on the ground. On his left, their hands touching, is a Dutchman smoking, and with a big orange cockade in his hat. On his right is a Spanish don, in feathered hat, ruff, cloak, slashed tunic and breeches. At the extreme ends of the sheet are (left) a Cossack, next the Dutchman, and (right) the fat King of Würtemberg. Seven men hold the farther side of the blanket (left to right): the Pope, wearing his tiara, a man wearing a fur cap with a star, inscribed 'Polar Star', identified in a contemporary hand as Poland, despite the association with Sweden (see British Museum Satires No. 10997). His neighbour is identified as Bernadotte, but resembles Francis I. The next two are identified as Russia and Austria, one is perhaps Bavaria (Russia being represented by the Cossack as England is by John Bull). Next is the hussar who commonly stands for Prussia. A man wearing cocked hat and star is identified as Hanover, but does not resemble the Duke of Cambridge or of Cumberland and is not unlike Bernadotte."--British Museum online catalogue
