Abstract:
"The Duke of York rides a velocipede (see British Museum Satires No. 13399), taking long strides, on a country road from London, indicated by St. Paul's, the Monument, &c. in the background, towards Windsor Castle on a hill (left). He wears a mitre and surplice with regimentals and jackboots. He turns his head to address John Bull (right), a paunchy 'cit' who stands stolidly, his hands resting on a stout stick: "You see Johnny I dont like to Squander away your money I won't have any more Clarks I wont go to Valencienes any more Ill run nothing but real Dandies there's a Saveing for you Johnny only £10000 a year for hearing the Doctors Reports & pay all my Traveling Expences I gave Mr Johnston £8 for this Charger the Cheapest I could get theres Economy for you you'l live in Clover now." John answers, with protruding underlip: "Dang it Mistir Bishop thee art saveing indeed thee used to ride in a Coach and Six now I pay thee 10.000 a year more thee art Rideing a wooden Horse for all the world Like a Gatepost"."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"John Bull, a 'cit' wearing (unfastened) shirt and breeches, stands in a bare room near a miserable truckle bed, furiously waving wig and a night-cap inscribed 'Patent', towards objects representing malt, tea, tobacco, and coffee. He has flung at them his hat, coat, waistcoat, and shoes, and they totter backwards under the impact (right). All are demanding "More Wages," except malt, which asks for "More Profit." John shouts: "More Wages, you Scoundrels! will you never be satisfied! have'nt I given you House and increased your wages at different Tunes for Years past, and now you want more! But I'll dispense with ye all, so out of my House, ye pampered Knaves! you have pretty near stript me, theres my wig among ye! I'll put on this patent Narcotic Night cap and sleep till you have come to your senses again, so take yourself off to your advisers! Off with you! off!!!" The objects are constructed of utensils, &c., as in British Museum Satires No. 11822, &c.; they are closely grouped and delicately poised; they totter towards the open door (right). Tea is built up on sugar-tongs for legs, supporting two cups and saucers on which is a tea-caddy; on this rests a large kettle, spouting steam, and itself supporting a pile of sugar-bowl, tea-pot (from which spouts liquid inscribed 'More Wages'), cream-jug, and spoons. A solid cask of 'Home Brewed' is supported on long-stemmed glasses for legs; on it is a tankard of 'No Mans Entire' from which issues froth inscribed 'More Profit'. This is flanked by two bunches of barley. Two long tobacco-pipes, one broken, are legs supporting a canister of 'Best Virginia'; on this is a triangular spittoon, supporting a guttering candle-end in a flat candle-stick; the smoke from this is inscribed 'More Wages'. Nearest the door (right) two spoons support two coffee-cups and saucers on which is a coffee-mill, supporting a milk-jug from which a coffee-pot is falling, spouting 'More Wages'. On the bare floor (left) near a pitcher of 'Water' is an open book, 'The Life of Comoro', with a portrait head."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Two adjacent designs. [1] The Regent tipsily bestrides a fat and ugly cook, who is on her hands and knees; he flourishes a bottle of 'Royal Max' [gin] and a glass and shouts: "Ha! ha! D--me! this is glorious! this is Princely!!--better fun than the Hertford Hobby [see British Museum Satires No. 13213]--Kitchen stuff & Dishclouts for ever I say D--me!!--If the rascals caricature me, I'll buy em All up d--me." The cook, still holding the broken dish from which a huge cod's head has fallen, exclaims: "Oh! Master do let me alone & see! you've thrown the Cods head & Shoulders all in the dirt!" In the background, Lady Hertford, wearing a coronet, looks angrily from a doorway. On the floor in the foreground are a 'Royal Greas Pot', rolling-pin, and a ladle, with a playbill: 'Brighton--under the Pub [Patr]onage of [the Princ]e Regent--High Life below Stairs Principle Character--G P R'. See British Museum Satires No. 13208, &c. [2] The Duke of York, very erect, rides a velocipede (see British Museum Satires No. 13399) in profile to the right, with Mrs. Carey behind him in a little seat over the back wheel, her hands on his shoulders. He wears Windsor uniform of military cut, with breeches, spurred top-boots, and a top-hat, which he raises. Across the pole hangs a fat purse inscribed '10,000 pr annm Custos [Personae Regis]' which serves as saddle. He says: "I say Carey: this Windsor job, is a devilish snug concern & this saddle bag makes it very pleasant riding!--I wish our army had been mounted on these Hobby's in Flanders;--I don't mean Waterloo--" She answers: "I know what you mean;--but it is a good joke, to think while the Establishment of the Father is redud at Windsor: the sons Establist is increas'd at Fulham--tis properly coming York over John Bull." In the background John Bull, a sturdy fellow, stands with folded arms outside a miserable thatched hut where women and children are crouching. He says fiercely: "£10,000 a year for a son to do his duty to his Father!!!!!! whilst my Children are starving!!!--"Fie out! O Fie 'tis an unweeded garden that grows to seed things rank & gross in nature posess it merely." ['Hamlet', I. ii.]."--British Museum online catalogue
