Abstract:
"Three burlesqued and bare-legged peasants run (left to right) splashing through a bog. The leader is a man carrying on his pitchfork his (patched) breeches and a pair of 'Brouges' or clumsy shoes. He holds a large jug of 'Butter Milk' and under his arm is a bludgeon inscribed 'Sprig of Shillelah'. A woman follows, holding the end of his shirt, with a basket of 'Potatoes' [some falling out] on her head. Her petticoat is kilted up, and the third, a woman, clutches at the end of her shift, to extricate herself from the bog. All three smoke short pipes. The man wears a small wig on unkempt hair which projects through his hat. In the middle distance (left) a woman has fallen, spilling the contents of a large basket of 'Turf', strapped to her back. In the background (right) huntsmen are galloping from rising ground (right) into the bog, in which dogs and horses are partly submerged; geese fly up. On the left is a thatched cabin, and there is a mountainous skyline. In the foreground is a strip of water with three huge frogs."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Jack Frost, bestriding a bear (left), hurls snowballs at Napoleon, who tries to escape, trudging through snow with skates attached to his spurred and tasselled Hessians. Two strike his back, another has knocked off his plumed bicorne. He holds his nose, looking over his shoulder to say: "By gar--Monsieur Frost this is a much colder Reception than I expected I never experianced such a pelting before--I find I must take care of my Nose as well as my Toes--Pray forgive me this time and I swear by --St Dennis never to enter your -- dominion again." From the angry bear's nostrils issues 'a Northern blast' which strikes Napoleon's posterior; its hindquarters are inscribed 'Northern Bear Ham'. Jack Frost is naked, except for large skates, emaciated, and old, with a wide gap-toothed mouth, beard, and huge moustache. From each glaring eyeball slants a searchlight inscribed 'Northern lights'. In each bony hand is a big 'Snow ball', and another flies through the air. He says: "What--Master Boney--have I caught You at last lie--teach you Russian fare--take that and that as a relish and digest it." In the middle distance the 'Empr Alexander' stands with legs astride on a mound of snow pointing derisively at Napoleon. He wears cocked hat, cloak, and fur-topped boots with huge curving toes, like those of three 'Cossacks' who watch Napoleon from a mound on the extreme left. They have spears but are smoking and one is seated; they grin, content to wait their time. Behind Alexander the spears and fur-capped heads of an army project above the snow, in front of the walls of 'Petersbourgh'. On the extreme right and nearer the foreground are French soldiers crouching in the snow and warming their hands at a fire of sticks inscribed 'Moscow'; fragments of gutted buildings are behind them. The sky is covered with slanting lines indicating a blizzard blowing against Napoleon and the French."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A jovial sailor bestrides a mis-shapen horse with panniers, a foot in each basket. In each basket sits a bedizened prostitute, each holding one of his arms. He grins amorously towards the one on his right who is immensely fat, with a patched face and coarse features. She wears long gloves, holds up a parasol, and a reticule dangles from her arm. The other, who is less repulsive, drinks from a bottle; from her pannier dangles a jar of 'British Spirits'. Both wear feathered hats and low-cut dresses with very short sleeves, necklaces, and ear-rings. They are in a wide cobbled street leading to the Thames, which resembles the sea; behind a corner shop (left), inscribed 'Dealer in Maritime Stores', appears the stern of a ship flying an ensign."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"A sailor stands full-face, legs astride, hands plunged through the bottomless pockets of his jacket; he squints violently, one eye turned on an uproar (left), the other on two termagants (right). His broken pipe, still smoking, lies at his feet. He says: "I am hardup--not a Quid left, or Shot in the Locker--to pay the Fiddler--Mi Eyes--what a Squall, how it whistles trough the Ratlines I must Braill up and Scudd under Bare Poles." A prostitute with a patched face (left) kicks him and is about to bring down a fiddle with broken strings on his head. This she has snatched from a man with a wooden leg and patched eye-socket who lies on the ground at her feet. Another woman (right) yells at him, holding out an enormously long bill on which are such items as 'D°', often repeated, and 'Sundreys', 'Lodgings', 'Grog', 'Fidler'. Behind her an old bawd in the bar points to a chalked-up score, where signs for guineas are marked. On the left a watchman with a lantern enters, springing his rattle, which is inscribed 'St C'."--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

"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

"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'. The long pan under Napoleon, in which are sops of bread, is inscribed 'Sop for Cossacks'.
