Abstract:
"A design in six compartments arranged in two rows, each with a title. [1] 'Johnnys reception by "merry Tonkanoo at Negro Ball'. The ball is in an open shed with a negro fiddler seated high on a hogshead; most of the guests watch Johnny, the only white, and 'Tonkanoo' bowing to each other. The latter is a tall negro with huge false moustache and long wig, feathered hat, and wide-cuffed coat in imitation of English dress c. 1740, with breeches and bare legs. A negro behind Johnny disperses flies with a branch. A negro couple is dancing; the ladies are fully dressed, some with tall cylindrical hats. Behind are distant mountains. [2] 'Johnny dancing with Rosa--the Planters beautiful daughter'. At the same ball all the negroes form a background of admiring spectators while Johnny, still wearing his enormous hat, dances with a pretty English girl in conventional evening dress, holding both her hands. Tonkanoo stands with his arms extended towards them. In the foreground (left) is a little naked negro Cupid with bow, quiver, and arrows, pointing to the couple. [3] 'Johnnys Courtship and professions of Love to Rosa'. Rosa reclines on a sofa under a piece of drapery looped from a tree; Johnny (left), hat in hand, kneels at her feet while the Cupid aims his bow at him. A pet monkey sits beside Rosa, and behind her (right) stands a negro girl brushing away flies with a branch. Johnny's servant is behind (left) holding an umbrella. Two cockatoos bill on a branch. [4] 'Johnny and the fair Rosa tripping to the Altar of Hymen'. The pair run hand in hand along a path which winds to a church resembling an English village church. Negro servants run after them, one holding up a large umbrella. Before them run two little negroes; one is Cupid playing a fiddle, the other, Hymen, holds up a lighted torch. In the distance, nearing the church, are the parson and his clerk. [5] 'Nuptial ceremony of Johnny and the charming Rosa'. In a Gothic church the parson with his book stands behind a cylindrical altar on which are two hearts transfixed by an arrow. Johnny puts the ring on Rosa's finger. The congregation are delighted negroes and negresses. Against the altar sit Cupid and Hymen; Cupid wears Johnny's huge hat and plays the fiddle; Hymen blows at his torch. [6] 'Johnny and his fair Bride reveling in Jollity and festive mirth'. Johnny, tipsily jovial, his father-in-law, and Rosa, sit at table, drinking, the men smoking, many bottles of 'Sangaree' on the floor. A man fiddles, and in the background a dance is in progress. Johnny wears his planter's hat, &c., as in British Museum Satires No. 11983, and has always a swarm of flies round his head. Rosa throughout wears her ball-dress, with feathers in her hair."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"A design in six compartments arranged in two rows, each with a title. [1] 'Johnny, Newcome landing in the Wt Indies'. Johnny, wearing top-hat (blown off), breeches, and top-boots, steps through surf towards a sandy shore (right) where a giant crab advances to meet him, and two negresses seated under palm-trees register amusement and pleasure. Under his arm is a portmanteau. Behind him (left) is the prow of a ship's boat with two burly sailors, in which he has left a British ship at anchor. A mountainous landscape is indicated. [2] 'Johnny situated as Clerk of stores'. In an open shed facing the sea he reclines among hogsheads, smoking a cheroot and holding a punch-bowl; beside him are pen, ink, and paper; on the ground are a turtle and a monstrous insect compounded of spider and ant. A negro clerk, also smoking, kneels on a cask, and waves a branch over his master's head to drive off a swarm of flies. [3] 'Johnny enamoured with Nymphs bathing'. He stands on the shore inspecting through his glass at very close range three plump negresses, all grinning delightedly, all with the large posteriors of the Hottentot Venus, see British Museum Satires No. 11577, &c. Behind Johnny stands a negro servant, wearing breeches only, who holds up an umbrella, and waves a branch to drive off flies. [4] 'Johnny on a Country excursion'. Johnny, holding a gun, lies in a hammock carried by two negro servants wearing breeches only; a third runs beside him holding up an umbrella and dispersing flies with a branch. He smokes a cheroot and between his legs he supports a large jar, evidently of sangaree. A large lizard watches him. [5] 'Johnny enjoying the sports of the field'. He sits under a palm-tree, a table at his elbow, and holding a bowl in his right hand; he supports his cocked gun with his left hand while a negro holds up the barrel. Johnny has one foot braced against the latter's posterior. Behind, another negro, wearing shirt and breeches, stands drinking from a bowl and waving a branch over his master's head as in Nos. 2-4. A negro boy drives birds towards Johnny. Large bottles of 'Sangaree' are on the ground, others are on the table, with a pine-apple and (?) two banners. There is a mountainous sky-line. [6] 'Johnny Preachee and Floggee poor Mungo' [see British Museum Satires No. 9636]. Johnny, seated beside a table as in No. 5, smoking a cheroot, and holding a bowl on his knee, flourishes the long knotted lash of a whip over the back of a negro who kneels with clasped hands. Another holds an umbrella and the usual branch over his master. Bottles of 'Sangaree' are in the foreground."--British Museum online catalogue

"Three figures on the after-deck: a naval officer pointing with a telescope to the left, looks round at a rough-looking elderly sailor who holds the helm, to say: "Now en't you a pretty fellow for a Pilot? to see Land and not know where we are!" The man answers: "Och my dear Jewel! only shew me the Old head of Kinsale, and I'll tell you where we are to an Inch!" A capable-looking sailor (left), hauling at a rope to reef a sail, looks towards the pilot with angry contempt. Sails, rigging, the lower part of a mast, and tossing waves complete the design."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"Two designs side by side. [1] The back view of the Achilles statue burlesqued on its high pedestal raised on a plinth. The figure wears spurred jack-boots, and is supported under the right thigh by a pair of army trousers decorated by a fig-leaf, and with a stripe inscribed Wellingtons. The posterior is exaggerated. On the pedestal: Placed on this Spot by Command of his | Majesty Geoe IIII--. Spectators crowd round it, all women except for one man who turns to a woman with a prurient leer and the Duke himself, in profile to the left, caricatured, who gazes up at it, stooping forward; he wears uniform with sword and jack-boots and holds his plumed cocked hat in both hands. A buxom lady stands beside him, pointing to the statue; she turns to him to say: See my Ball o' Wax [a slang term for shoemaker]! what we Ladies Can raise, when we wish to put a man in mind of what he has done & we hope will do again when call'd for!!! The Duke answers: The Honor is so great, that all I can say by the Powers, is that I'm Speechless. Two ladies stand arm-in-arm in back view, pointing up at the statue; a little boy asks: Is that--The Regents Bomb Mama? A telescope is directed at the statue, and a little girl is held above the crowd to see the sight. From the crowd labels ascend, inscribed: Do you think it will stand the Weather?; Bless you it will stand any thing; My Eyes what a Size!!; I see it!! [2] A front view of the booted statue, displaying a grotesque face, and the fig-leaf. On the pedestal: To "Authur O'Bradly" and his | "Jolly Companions every one" | This Brazen Image of Patrick | O'Killus Esqr-- | Is inscribed by their Country-women. Two women (right), arm-in-arm, gaze up. One exclaims: La! they must be a Brazen set of jades to stick up such a thing as this in public-- what is it meant for? The other answers: I understand it is intended to represent His Grace after bathing in the Serpentine & defending himself from the attack of Constables. A little girl (or boy) points up, asking What is that Mama? The spectators on the left are generally better dressed and more sophisticated; among them is a negress. Seven of them say: This will be a place of great attraction in the height of the Season--; You mean the fall of the Leaf I suppose?; I would not give a fig for it; well, for my part I think it a great ugly useless thing; Pray Mem, have you seen the Original one--at Rome; O! yes--the Original is much finer.; I don't think its quite the thing-- On a piece of drapery suspended from the upper margin across both designs: His Brawny Shoulders 4 ft Square His Cheeks like thumping Kidney tatees His legs would make a Chairman Stare And Pat was loved by all the Ladies" "The Ladies Joy &c &c" Paddy Carey [see British Museum Satires No. 14970]."--British Museum online catalogue

"Napoleon stands, colossus-like, legs apart, his head turned in profile to the right, looking down with an expression of despair. He is on a high dais beside his throne (right), and turns his back on the crowded hall. He wears a crown and imperial robe over ragged uniform. A tattered sleeve leaves his right forearm and elbow bare; his legs are naked between tattered remnants of breeches and spurred boots through which his toes project. He weeps, with a handkerchief to his eye, and his right hand touching the star on his breast. Behind him (left) is a sea of heads receding in perspective; these are burlesqued, with expressions registering dismay, cynicism, or sly satisfaction. Among them are three bishops wearing mitres. At the back of the hall is a gallery filled with heads on a tiny scale, feathered head-dresses show them to be ladies. Napoleon's words fill a large label covering the upper part of the design: "I myself entered Russia, the Russian armies could not stand before our armies. The French arms were constantly victorious.---- ------"a swarm of Tartars turned their ---- parricidal hands against the finest provinces of that vast Empire which they had been called to defend.---- "But the excessive and premature rigour of the winter brought down a heavy calamity upon my army---- in a few nights I saw every thing change.---- "the misfortunes produced by rigour of hoar frosts, have been made apparent in all their extent, ---- I experienced great losses--they would have broken my heart, if under such circumstances I could have been accessible to any other sentiments than those of the interest,--the glory,--and the future prosperity of my people.-- "I have signed with the Pope a Concordat, which terminates all the diffirences [sic] that unfortunately had arisen in the Church.--The French dynasty--reigns,-- and will reign in Spain.--I am satisfied with all my allies.--I will abandon none of them.--The Russians shall return into their frightful climate [cf.
