"Scene at the door of a Portsmouth brothel, a corner-house. A handsome young prostitute, elaborately dressed, with curls, feathered hat, and fluttering sash, walks from it, gazing straight before her. Behind her is a fat and hideous bawd, hands on hips, who watches her with calculating malevolence. The bawd wears a watch and seals dangling from her waist; behind her is a doorway inscribed 'Hotel', with an oil-lamp (as in British Museum Satires No. 11454) projecting from the door-post; a bell-pull is inscribed 'Ring the Bell'. Just within the door is a dark lobby lit by a lamp hanging from the ceiling and leading to a second (closed) door in which there is a small grille or judas. On the wall of the house is the inscription 'Portsmouth Dock', and three bills: 'From the Country an Assortment of Fresh Ware'; 'A Tragedy in Rehearsal'; 'Leakes Genuine Pills'. In the background is a humbler establishment, with irregular gabled roof and a porch inscribed 'Lodgings'. A sailor stands looking up at a woman who leans from the window with outstretched arms. Flames and smoke belch from the chimney. Behind it are masts and sails."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"A night scene, broadly burlesqued. Napoleon, in profile to the left, strides in furtive haste towards a massive gate, directing the beam of a dark lantern against it. From between his coat-tails a long white feather (see British Museum Satires No. 12613) floats behind him, emerging from a cluster of shorter ones. He wears an enormous bicorne, with a plume set in an ornament composed of a crown and olive-twigs (as in British Museum Satires No. 11998), a sash and sabre over his long coat, tasselled Hessians with huge spurs. A head wearing a night-cap looks through the bars which form the top of the gate under a stone arch, to say: "Rap--Rap--Ra--Who comes there--what Midnight disturbers are you." An officer (actually Caulaincourt) crouches at the gate holding the knocker which is set in a great lion's mouth, and beckons towards Napoleon, answering, "It's only Count Vincen"--Alias--Little Boney. the Imperial Fugitive--returned from Victory." The gate-keeper: "Alias-- who"--Alias the Divil you mean." In front of Napoleon's foremost foot a large frog leaps forward; behind him a lean fierce cur barks: "A Russian Cur-- Bow--Wow--Wow." A large label floats back from Napoleon's mouth, inscribed: "hist--is that the Croaking of Frogs I hear--I mistake--its' only the Sycophant Lads in Paris--hurra-ing at My unexpected and precipate [sic] return. thank my Luckey Stars--I have got out of the clutches of them Damd Cossack Curs"--or I should have been food for Bears--long before this time." Beside the gate is a sentry-box, in which a sentry completely muffled up and wearing a night-cap, sleeps, seated with folded arms, clasping his musket. A frog looks from behind the box."--British Museum online catalogue

"A handsome rakish-looking man (left) puts his arms round the waist of a good-looking young woman, who draws away from him. Their words, in large labels above their heads, are from verses in the 'Examiner', 10 Jan. 1813 (by Tom Moore) [reprinted, 'The Twopenny Post-Bag', 1813, pp. 83-5, with an additional verse by the lady on 'an old Marquis [Headfort], in mischief grown hoary']: He (the first and last of four verses): "Come fly to these arms, nor let beauties so bloomy To one frigid owner be tied, The Prudes may revile, and the old ones look gloomy, But dearest we've Law on our side. . . . And ev'n should our sweet violation of duty By cold blooded jurors be tried, They can but bring it in, a "Misfortune" my beauty As long as we've Law on our side." She: "Hold! Hold my good Sir! go a little more slowly For grant I thus guiltily sigh'd, Such sinners as we are a little to lowly To hope to have Law on our side.

On the right the Prince walks off in back view between Lady Hertford and Ellenborough, in wig and gown. He takes Ellenborough's left arm, his left arm is round Lady Hertford, whose right arm is round the Prince, her profile turned possessively towards him. Ellenborough declaims: "Too busy Senates with an over care, "To make us better than our kind can bear, "Have dash'd a spice of Envy in the laws, "And straining up to high have spoil'd the cause; "Yet some wise Nations break the cruel chains, "And own no laws but those which Love ordains." On the ground behind the group are two papers, one below the other and showing only the left margin: 'Trial / Mar[quis of Headfort] / Crim / Decem / -Dam / £20,00 ..

"A satire on costume, showing the unsuitability of modern dress to the minuet. A grotesque man bends towards his partner, taking her left hand in his right. The other guests stand or sit. He has a large moustache, a shock of hair, high shirt-collar, short-waisted coat with long tails, and loose striped trousers, tied in above the ankle. His partner has short skirt hanging from just below the breast which she holds up by the hem; towering feathers rise from a wreath of flowers on her head. A man in back view (right) wears tight pantaloons tied below the calf, others wear loose trousers.

"John Bull stands in a court of law, in profile to the right, facing the judge, who sits in a high carved chair of Gothic design. He is a 'cit' with a gouty foot in a large shoe; his crutch and hat are under his right arm, his right hand deep in his coat pocket. He wears old-fashioned dress with an ill-fitting wig, and scratches his forehead, saying, "My Name Your Worship--is John Bull my buisness here is to give notice to my Creditors to avail myself of the benefit of the Insolvent Act." His short, broad, and over-dressed wife stands behind him, saying, "I long thought it would come to this, I told him over and over a gain what would be the end of his Mad career." John's bulldog is at his feet, morose and aggressive. The judge, counsel, and attendants look at John with pained surprise. The judge, perhaps intended for Lord Ellenborough, says: "however such a Circumstance might be looked forward to, it--certainly was not expected Just now." Clerks sit in the foreground (right) writing. On their table is a paper with the Royal Arms and the words 'London Gazette'. Behind is a Gothic window."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"A scene on the poop of a man-of-war. A lean and shambling civilian, his hat tied on by a spotted handkerchief, clutches the coat-tail of a sailor to say: "My dear Friend - I understand you are Captain of this here ship - and they says a how the Enemy, is in sight - now could not you put the ship a little on one side, and not be too ventersome - its the best way to be a little cautious - I am but a poor weaver - but however life is sweet." The sailor (right) (dressed as in British Museum Satires No. 10894) holds a cudgel, has a quid of tobacco in his cheek, and points with his left hand to the right. He glares fiercely at the weaver, saying, "Why you paltry land Lubber do you want me to run away? - but however I never bear malice so I'll give you a little Comfort - before I would strike to an Enemy d'ye see - I would blow the vessel up in the air - So before you could turn a chaw of tobacco you would be out of your misery."

Abstract:
"British households are represented by large straw bee-hives; these are assailed by tax-collectors and their satellites who run through the air in a swarm. One hive is in the foreground (right), the two next are in the middle distance, with a line of little hives in the distance, curving to the left margin. John Bull, ragged but chubby, stands defiantly on the step of his hive, defending it with a stake shaped like a rough pitchfork and inscribed 'Prop of Reform'; with this he prods the foremost collector, who drops book and pen in dismay. Behind him in the doorway is his wife, brandishing a poker, while three ragged and terrified small children cluster round the door. Other tax-gatherers assail the upper part of the hive; one has made a hole in the straw and puts in his hand; he has already seized honey. Another man departs with chunks of honeycomb, but his coat-tails are clutched by a man who leans from a hole in the hive. Another collector runs through the air, laden with spoil. More of the swarm are still advancing, holding pen and book or paper. One, holding up a constable's staff, holds out a 'Warrant [of] Distress . . John Bull' [scarcely legible]; another has a huge book inscribed 'Poor's Rate'. Other books are inscribed 'Kings Tax' and 'Assess'd Taxes'. One man holds out a paper inscribed 'Snatch Broker & Sworn Appraiser'. The men recede in perspective towards the upper left corner of the design, from which the swarm is descending upon the hives. A tax-gatherer enters the door of the second hive, while another stands on the upper part nailing on it a placard: 'Kings Taxes'. In the foreground (right) beside the hive a broken cord drops from a clothes-prop weighted down with tattered garments. On the left is a smoking manure-heap inscribed 'Ministrial Dung-hill'; on this lies a paper, 'Prope[rty] Tax' [now removed, see British Museum Satires No. 12750, &c.], and from it grow toadstools inscribed 'Place, Pension', and 'Sinecure'."--British Museum online catalogue

"General Bennigsen (right) stands aggressively beside a large kitchen fire basting Napoleon, a much smaller figure, who is horizontally transfixed on a spit turned by a bear (left) seated erect on its hind-legs. He uses a ladle inscribed 'Benningsens baistings'. A large frying-pan rests on the flames by the bear's head from which frogs are diving into the fire. There is also a large steaming pot inscribed 'Corsican Broth'. The bear, whose thigh is inscribed 'Westphielea ham', asks: "How do you like Benningsen Baisting --Master Bony--and your Frogs." Napoleon, whose wrists and ankles are lashed to the spit, answers: "Our situation may be fun for you--Mr Bear--but Death to us." Bennigsen grasps a red-hot poker with a spade-like end inscribed 'Russia Iron'; he says fiercely: "I'll Roast--Beast [sic]--Dish--and Devour you, he Smoaks Brothe [sic] Bruin--an other turn and he is done." He has a patch over one eye, huge moustaches, and wears a fur cap, fur-trimmed uniform, with star and cross, and high cavalry boots, besides a small apron inscribed 'Russia duck'.
