Abstract:
"An aged surgeon leans over a bag of instruments on a table (right), selecting a knife; he wears an old-fashioned wig, hat, coat, &c. A pretty girl seizes him by the arm; she shouts at him, pointing behind her to his subject, a young man lying on a trestle-table, fully dressed and apparently in perfect health, who has just wakened, horrified. In an open cupboard stands a skeleton (left). On the wall is a notice: 'A Course of Anatomical Lectures accompanied with Dissections will be delivered tommorrow Even[ing] by Professer Sawbone.' [An early use of the word 'Sawbone'. Partridge gives the date as from c. 1835, citing Sam Weller in 'Pickwick' (1837).] Two lighted candles stand on the table. On the lintel of the door is a bust of (?) Hippocrates frowning down at the scene."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"A man and woman sleep in a rough wooden bed, heads thrown back so that their nostrils face the spectator. Bare feet projecting from the bed-clothes attract a rat. A cat lies on a chair in the disordered room. An antique musket and broadsword hang horizontally above the bed, on a wall from which much plaster has fallen. A makeshift curtain hangs across a casement window (left). On a chair by the bed (right) is a punch-bowl. On the wall is a placard: 'Hush every Breese let nothing move My Celia sleeps and dreams of Love'."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The infant King of Rome sits on the lap of his Governess to receive the compliments of a long procession of deputies. She offers the child's bare posterior, from which issues an explosion, to the lips of the foremost deputy who kneels obsequiously on a cushion. The child has his father's face, as in British Museum Satires No. 11719, &c., and wears a cocked hat and military tunic; he flourishes a rattle, ignoring the homage. The deputies all wear long robes over court dress with sword and are burlesqued; the second holds his nose, many take snuff. The long procession recedes in perspective (right). The Governess is also grotesque and elderly, wearing old-fashioned dress and an elaborate frilled cap. She sits on the little King's throne which is on a dais. It is topped by the iron crown of Italy with a sceptre and baton; on the back is an imperial eagle above a wreath enclosing the letters 'R R' [Rex Romae]. The leading deputy: "Madam Governess. not one of us can behold without a most lively interest, that August Infant--on whom rest so many Destinies, and whose Age and Charming--Qualiteys, inspires the Most tender Sentiments in the French and Surrounding Nations." She answers with a staring grin: "Monsieurs, --I thank you for the polite and flattering encomiums, You are pleased to bestow on me--I thank you in the Name of the Young Prince, Whoes Charms are Inexpressible. and regret that he can not add his personal sentiments to those which I entertain, to the--Legislative Body." Napoleon (left) watches the homage from behind a curtain which divides the child's throne from women who are washing the infant's napkins; he holds up a forefinger and stares intently. A disreputable old woman washing a tub-full of 'Shi--en Clouts' also watches; her tub rests on a low stool under which a dog urinates, and on which are bottle, glass, and snuff-box. Another, behind Napoleon, hangs 'Royal Clouts' on a line in front of a steaming copper. She says, "The Stench from the Young Urchin is intolerable--he smells like a pole Cat." A basket of 'Foul Linen' is on the ground."--British Museum online catalogue

"A pretty young woman (right) weeps, while her family discusses her 'Faux Pas'. He father seated next her, hands on knees, turns to look at her through spectacles, saying, "Come - come dont. mince the matter - since the thing is done it can't be undone - have not you had a Child." She answers: "Well Papa - suppose I have - It was but a Little One." Her mother, in plain, old-fashioned dress, clasps her hands weeping, and exclaims: "O! that I should live to see my Daughter found out." The brother, an ugly young man wearing top-boots, stands (left), saying angrily: "Dont tell me Sister - she was always a forward Hussey when she was down with me in the Country, she was always cutting out little Men, instead of minding her needle work - but however she is found out"."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The interior of a barber's shop, a ramshackle room with a raftered ceiling. An elderly military officer, seated in the middle of the room between the barber and his wife, causes general dismay; he points to a gash on his cheek and shakes his fist at the barber who flinches back, razor in hand. The barber's wife, bending over the customer with a bowl of soap-suds, is terrified. The assistant, his own hair in curl-papers, trims the hair of a customer (right), holding a bowl on his head. At a table (left) a man washes, stanching his head. Water is supplied from the tap of a bucket on a shelf above the basin. Part of the table serves as dressing-table; on this a monkey sits before the mirror, lathering its head. On a high shelf (right) are wig-boxes and wig-blocks; the latter have inscriptions characterizing their (carved) features, and each having its appropriate wig: 'Clarkes Block', 'Parsons Block', 'Docter's Block', 'Lawyers Block'. On the back wall are a roller-towel and four prints: Absalom hanging from a tree while his horse gallops off, inscribed: 'Oh Absolom My Son My Son--hadst thou Wore a Wig this neer . . .' ; two profile heads, nose to nose, roughly resembling Rowlandson's 'Mock Turtle' [British Museum Satires No. 11639]; a narrow broadside headed by a gibbet, such as were sold in London on execution days; a bewigged caricature head."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"The 'Genius of Caricature' presides at a dinner-table at which sit 'Lilliputians', cf. British Museum Satires No. 9635, &c, all with large grotesque heads, all laughing, and raising brimming glasses to drink the toast. The chairman wears a Harlequin suit, and though differing from the 'Genius' of British Museum Satires No. 10917 both have similar gap-toothed mouths and may be intended for Tegg. He gives Success to Volume the Third. A toast-master standing beside him holds up a fringed placard or banner inscribed: Mr Tegg, M' Tegg,! You're at home to a peg, Volume two is now fairly completed, Then to Cheapside repair, Ye who spurn at dull care, And with, Wit, Fun, & Frolic be treated, With Woodward we'll laugh, And with Rowlandson quaff, And drown every Folly absurd, Here's a toast to the brim, My gay children of Whim, Success to their Volume the Third. The guests are two women and five men, all middle-aged or elderly, and two with drink-blotched profiles. On the table is a basket of (?) olives labelled Jokes. Behind the chairman is an alcove, inscribed Mirth Admit Me Of Thy Crew. The walls recede in almost symmetrical perspective and are decorated with solidly mounted prints (or the original drawings) from the magazine."--British Museum online catalogue

"Scene in a dance-room, which is roughly panelled, has a low platform across one end, and a small gallery (right) with a fiddler and a man blowing a French horn; it is lit by a hanging chandelier. In the centre two men face each other in boxing attitudes; one is stripped to the waist, the other to the shirt. Women stand behind them, alarmed or interested. A woman has fainted and is supported by a man who administers smelling-salts. On the right a wild scuffle is going on: two termagants seize each other by the hair, a third, on the ground, pulls down one of the combatants; they resemble prostitutes of St. Giles. Others are comelier and better dressed. Women and men stand on the platform watching with amused interest; one or two women register alarm or concern; on the right are two ugly old bawds."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"John Bull, a hideously carbuncled 'cit', looks down grinning at a semicircle of men on a much smaller scale who surround his half-length figure. They are (left to right) Napoleon, wearing a huge bicorne, who looks up to say 'Ships. Colonies and Commerce'. A man in military uniform, quite unlike Alexander, his back to Napoleon, says: "Russian Vengeance attend John Bull. A fat Dutch burgher puffs smoke towards John, saying, III eternally smoke him". A scowling man in civilian dress with tousled hair says: "Let him tremble at the name of America". Prussia, a handsome military officer in place of the damaged soldier who after Tilsit represented Frederick William III in English caricature, says: "Beware of Prussia". A similar officer (Francis I) says: "Austria will never Pardon him". A Spaniard wearing a cocked hat says: "Spanish Fury overtake him". A scowling face says: "Let him beware of Denmark". John says: "Dont make such a riot you little noisy Brats, all your bustle to me is no more than a storm in a Chamber pot"."--British Museum online catalogue
