Abstract:
"Napoleon (right) lies on his face under the sharp teeth of a harrow; two ropes are attached to it, at each of which representatives of three nations are tugging. In the foreground a British sailor hauls behind him a Spanish don in slashed tunic and breeches, feathered hat, cloak, and ruff. The third is a man of nondescript appearance wearing a cap with a drooping peak, probably intended to represent Sicily, which the British had held as an outpost against Napoleon. On the other rope the chief figure is a Prussian hussar; next him is (?) a Swede in a fur cap, and on the end of the rope a man wearing a cavalry helmet of French type is probably intended for an Austrian. These six fill the left of the design. Russia is represented by a bearded Cossack who stands on the right, prodding at Napoleon with his long spear. On the harrow sits a fat Dutchman, smoking his pipe with a fiercely preoccupied expression, with his left hand in his breeches pockets. Napoleon, much distressed, cries: "Oh this heavy Dutchman. O had I not enough to bear before!!!" Two birds swoop down from the left; one says: "I smell Carrion"."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A crowded turbulent scene in the market square, Norwich. In the foreground, on trestles, is the carcass of a bull which two butchers are cutting up. Men struggle or clamour for fragments, or gnaw and fight over bones. On the right a huge cask has been broached; women fill pitchers and pails; one lies senseless. In the background a dense crowd is in procession, backed by the houses of the city; a bonfire burns unattended. The cheering crowd moves from right to Ieft, following banners, one inscribed 'Downfall of the Tyrant', and an effigy of Napoleon raised high on a pole and surrounded by pikes."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
An artist with a crazed look on his face paints at his easel the picture of Hebrew prophet (?) with wild hair and clenched fists. The artist is only half-dressed, his foot in the contents of an overturned chamber pot. He is surrounded by other pursuits of genius: a violin, scientific and medical equipment, a Roman bust, a French horn, a pile of books, etc. On the wall are three drawings: an air balloon, a dancer, and a portrait of Peter Jesta. He sits at the foot of a bed where his pretty wife sleeps peacefully, unaware that her young child is pouring out wine into a glass while a slightly older child sits with bellows before a stove, the spout of a kettle dangerously aimed in her direction

The latter, grotesquely obese, sits in a low arm-chair (right) with his lean and hideous wife beside him; a thin grotesque footman, his hair standing on end, stands behind the doctor's chair, leaning towards his master. All three put out their tongues, and all register dismay; the equally ugly doctor gapes in unhelpful concern. The grotesque heads are closely grouped against a high window.

Abstract:
"Napoleon emerges from the flames of a huge fire burning on the summit of a rock, on the face of which is an opening, like the door of an oven, whence issue flames and serpents. These are being stirred up by the long spear of a Cossack (right), who gazes up at Napoleon, while a sturdy Dutchman (left) plies a huge pair of bellows. The head of Napoleon is based on Gillray's 'Apotheosis of the Corsican-Phoenix', British Museum Satires No. 11007, but as a 'Mock Phoenix', he has not the wings and body of a bird, but the body of a man, though one claw extends from the fire, dropping an orb, as in that print. His flaming crown rises from his head, as in British Museum Satires No. 11007, but he clutches his breast with the right hand, and raises the left arm in a gesture of agonized despair; his sceptre falls into the fire. The flames and smoke have more lateral spread than in British Museum Satires No. 11007, and are filled with demons, ranging from quasi-human devils and imps to serpents. The Dutchman, in bulky breeches, wears a large orange cockade in his hat; he looks up, the smoke from his pipe merging with that of the pyre. The Cossack is bearded, with the high furred cap of other prints. The scene is a plateau surrounded by rocky peaks."--British Museum online catalogue

A fat florid woman gesticulates wildly, watched by a sour-looking man. They say: "Oh Im Undone! Im Undone!" and "Then I wish you would undo me--for they have fined me five Shillings for my bit of fun." [2] 'An Airing'. A fashionably dressed and grotesque couple walk arm-in-arm, registering anger. She says: "Now let us pretend to walk out as if nothing was the matter." He says, registering anguish, "Oh what a prize in the Lottery." [3] 'Alarm'. A woman holds a man on her knee. He says, registering dismay, "But if Mr Spriggins should come home what should we do then." She answers, calculatingly amorous: "Be not alarmed sweet Lily of the Valley."

He answers: D--n the Gostesses." (An Irish scandal of 1784, see British Museum Satires No. 6699, &c.) [6] 'Observation'. An old man wearing a night-cap and huge spectacles stands with bent knees gazing through a doorway.

Sourly sanctimonious parsons sit together, each with clasped hands. They say: "Sad times sad times Friend Nicodemus, this Crim Con Business is quite shocking," and Ah it is of no use talking to them--they will have their own way--shocking doings indeed." [2] 'A Kitchen Scene'. A hideous and fashionably dressed old woman (? a cook) reclines in an arm-chair while (?) a steward or clerk of the kitchen stands before her adjusting her large ear-rings. They say: "Do my sweet Creature let me fasten on your ear rings" and "Oh fie Mr Clerk you are really too bad." [3] 'A Lecture'. Two elderly and ugly women stand glaring angrily at each other. They say: "Mrs Amelia Caroline Skeggs [one of the courtesans in 'The Vicar of Wakefield']--I am afraid you give too much encouragement to Mr Spriggins" and "Take care what you say Maam my Character is not to be sported with." The first speaker holds a fan, her breasts are immodestly bare, the other wears a wide straw hat, her hands in a muff. [4] 'An Affair on the Dickey'. A couple embrace on the box-seat of a carriage; the young woman is comely, the other is a coachman in livery. They say: "O you Angel" and "I'm afraid my love you will get the whip hand of me."

They say: "Speak louder;, only one shilling damages --why I shall be ruined--" and: "Never mind--you have lost a bad wife, and got a good shilling." [6] 'A Compromise'. A burly fellow threatens with his fists a smaller one who cowers in terror. They say: "you little Scoundrel did not I catch you with my wife--I'll break every bone in your skin" and "Dont be so obstropolous Ill give thee a quartern of gin to make it up and thats better than going to La--"."--British Museum online catalogue
