"Two Thames watermen pull a pair-oar wherry towards riverside stairs, much amused at the effects of the wind on a fat 'cit' and a pretty young woman whom he is leading out of the boat. His hat and wig blow off, as does her hat, while her parasol is blown inside out. Other fat and elderly grotesques on the stairs (right) chase hats and wigs. Two comely young women sit in the stern (left). The houses by the stairs are ancient and small. The river is wide; on the opposite side (left) are buildings closely grouped round a large church, and suggesting Southwark."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"Scene on the pavement before the open door of a London house (right). A fashionable young man addresses an amateur whip, both disregarding the duns who clamour round the latter: "you've Got your Greys yet I see! I thought you wanted to get rid of them". The other answers: "O! no! keep my Greys if I can! but I want cursedly to get rid of my Duns!" He wears the long coat with many capes of a coachman, and is about to mount the box of a coach and four which waits (left), a groom standing by the near wheeler. On the coach-door is inscribed (in reversed characters) 'No Inside Passenger', above a coronet and crest: an arm holding a whip, with the motto 'Forward'. The duns include a butcher's boy with a long bill, saying, "Master says he can't Bang up Prime to Smithfield without some whipcord", and a milk-boy who says "Mrs Curd desires you'll curb the Milk Score a little Sir!" The others, who are partly hidden, say: Mr Nead the Baker will be glad to touch the bit Sir!"; "Mr Calf the Boot Maker Sir would be glad to touch the Spanish [money]"; "Mr Giblet the Poulterer desires you'll not make a Goose of him."; "I can't let your Sarvants have any more small beer & brickdust that's pos [a woman]"; "Mr Sheers the Taylor Sir, is reduced to a Button unless you send some stay Tape"; "Mr Sweetherb the greengrocer will send nothing but Crabs till the Bill is paid; Mr Stilton the Cheesemonger begs you'll consider him and let him have ever such a Mite; Mr Copal the coachmaker can't send the new Curricle, without some of the Main Spring"; "Mr Sherry the Wine Merchant can't get into Port without you raise him the Wind".

"Three Bonapartes leap from one to another grass-topped rock set in the sea. There are six, from Corsica, the smallest to Dover, the broadest. The first makes a 'Hop' from 'Corsica' to 'France'. The second stands arms akimbo, head turned in profile to the right., the 1. foot on 'Ambition', the r. planted on a higher rock: 'Power'. This is 'Step'. The third has made a 'Jump' into the air from 'Calais', and descends on to the sword-point of John Bull, who is firmly planted on 'Dover'. Napoleon wears an enormous cocked hat (which flies off in his final leap) with tricolour cockade and plume, tricolour sash over his military coat, tight breeches, and boots. Below the three stages of his progress: '[1] From indigence in Corsica To Affluence in France. [2] From aspiring Ambition To the summit of Power. [3] From Calais to Dover Where little John Bull does the Corsican over'."--British Museum online catalogue

"A fat cook sleeps by the kitchen fire in an arm-chair with her feet high up on the chimney-piece. She holds a glass filled from a bottle of 'Cherry Bounce' at her elbow. Close beside her a comely plump kitchen-maid is also asleep, with her arm round the neck of a negro footman who sleeps on her shoulder. All have beatific smiles. Before the fire a cat sleeps on the back of a dog. Cooking utensils stand on the chimney-piece and hang from the wall; dishes on a dresser complete a crowded interior."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

A large placard on the wall shows that they are members of 'The Rotten Bourough Society Established in 1810 Gibery Vixe [Vicary Gibbs] President Leatherbreech [Lethbridge] Vice--'. One stands in the centre, inspecting 'Cobbetts Register' through a glass; beside him is a very obese man, registering scandalized horror and trampling on 'Magna Charte[r]'.

"Stock-jobbers with large heads, elongated as in British Museum Satire No. 10610, &c, and grotesquely caricatured, stand in pairs on the pavement of the Royal Exchange. One says to another: "So - - Jemmy Diddle-'em is a Bankrupt"; the other answers: "Why you surprise me, then I am in a Pretty Mess!!"; both pull very long faces. A highly delighted broker looks at a paper inscribed 'Omnium 3 Per Ct', saying, "a tolerable good mornings work I have made of it". His vis-à-vis, a bearded Jew, asks: "Hash any bodish got any Omnium to disposh of?" On the extreme right. a pair in confidential conversation say: "Extraordinary news just arrived - had it from the best authority at Lloyds", and "The Devil there is." In the middle distance are two other couples. Behind, and faintly drawn (left), are the statue of Charles II and the arcade along one side of the quadrangle with the feet of statues in the niches above."--British Museum online catalogue

"A group of cinder-sifters at work on one of the vast laystalls which disgraced the surroundings of London in the 18th century (notably off Tottenham Court Road). A woman of the lowest type, ragged, naked to the waist, holds her sieve, turning her head to her male counterpart, a burly dustman, who helps her by shovelling cinders into her sieve. They grin amorously at each other. She is hideous, stout, and muscular. Two other cinder-sifters kneel on the ground, both are aged crones; one bends over her sieve, the other drinks a glass of gin. In the foreground are the bones of a horse. Behind (left) is the dustman's cart. In the sky a flight of birds (left) are suggestive of carrion crows."--British Museum online catalogue

"The centre of the system is a circle ..., enclosing 'Iohn Bull', a fat 'cit' smoking a long pipe; with frothing jug, glass, and 'Extraordinary Gazette' on a table, and his dog beside him. The circle is enclosed with a band inscribed: 'God the King - Old Englands Wooden Walls. - Britons Strike Home - Britannia Rule the Waves - '. Outside this is a circle of ships at sea inscribed: 'British Navy', repeated seven times, with two stars at each interval. These are John's 'Satelites'. This outer circle is irradiated, but is surrounded with heavy clouds and 'malignant aspects', the chief being a comet with the head and shoulders of Napoleon, in back view, shooting upwards and from the right: 'A Corsican Comet Frenchified'. On its left, seated on a cloud and linked to Napoleon by a chain, is a 'Russian Bear with two heads, an appendage to the Comet.' On Napoleon's right a frog sits on a cloud smoking a pipe: 'Dutch Frog'. Nearly opposite the centre of the circle are (left) a 'Danish Mouse' and (right) a 'Spanish Puff' or fungus. Above these are (left) an 'Italian Greyhound' and (right) 'Swiss Cheese'. All these are poised on clouds. Above the circle stars are scattered inscribed (left and right) 'Minor Constellations with malignant Aspects'. Between these, and opposite the comet, a scaly creature with a tail and small wings spits venom at the 'British Navy' from a wide mouth edged with large teeth; this is 'American Torpedo' [the torpedo being a ray-fish which discharges electricity]."--British Museum online catalogue
