- Abstract:
- Kean as Richard III, directed to the left, stands on a large volume with the word 'Shakespear' written on the top edge. Resting on his head and humped shoulders is a model of Drury Lane Theatre, a massive block, inscribed 'Whitbreads Intire.' On the roof is poised an ugly figure of Fame, blowing through a trumpet 'Puff Puff Puff', and holding behind her a second trumpet, from which issue the words 'Puff Puff P'. At the entrance to the theatre straddles a tiny Whitbread, his legs and arms projecting from a cask which forms his body; he says: "Now by St Paul the work goes bravely on" (altering Richard's words from 'this news is bad indeed'). Kean stoops, leaning on a cross-hilted sword, inscribed 'A Keen supporter'; he has misshapen bandy legs. He says: "Well, as you guess." He wears an ermine-trimmed cap encircled by a crown, slashed doublet and trunk hose, a sleeveless coat bordered with ermine and embroidered with a (Yorkist) rose, with flapped and spurred boots. (The figure, with the position of the arms altered, is a travesty of J.J. Hall's portrait of Kean interrogating Stanley on the approach of Richmond. The costume is correct.) The stage is indicated by curtains flanking the design. In the background are clouds of smoke.--Adapted from British Museum

- Abstract:
- "A section cut from British Museum Satires No. 11888, with alterations. The King (apart from the removal of the coral and bells), Lord and Lady Hertford, and Yarmouth are as before, though the former Hertfords now stand for Conynghams (see British Museum Satires No. 13847), and Yarmouth (presumably) becomes Lord Francis Conyngham. The other adjacent figures are removed. The pavilion is still inscribed 'He[rtford] Nursery'. The design extends from the middle of the left support of the pavilion, which is however removed, except for the head and shoulder of the woman supporting the drapery, to the right edge of the right support of the pavilion, which is as before, with satyrs, infant Bacchus, and nude women; the emblem of fool's cap, &c., is unaltered. The King says to Lady Conyngham: "My dear Coney you are my life, my soul, my only Joy if business did not call me from hence--I would never leave you, what with my Wife and the Cabinet together I have no peace except in your dear arms." She answers: "Really my love you give way to fear take another glass--you have nothing to dread, we shall soon dispose of that vile woman--in my arms you are safe, continue with me at the Nursery, and we will soon form a new Cabinet if it is necessary." The antlered Lord Conyngham, grovelling on the ground behind his wife, says: "I have got into snug quarters, Lady C-- knows how to manage him--he is welcome to occupy my premises as long as he pleases.""--British Museum online catalogue
