Abstract:
"All hunt on velocipedes; they advance (left to right) in two streams on each side of a grass plot, while in the background the huntsmen are just behind the dogs, chasing (right to left) the stag. A dandy, his machine in the air, falls head first on a woman who also obstructs a lean tailor, with shears and card of patterns in his pocket. A bare-legged chimneysweeper follows, his brush tied to the back of his machine. A lean barber and a grotesquely fat butcher follow, with a man in a smock. On the extreme left a dustman in fan-tailed hat rides with a woman seated behind him and ringing his bell. The figures in the second column are on a small scale but well characterized. Accidents and collisions occur. Two dandies (right) in the middle distance (right) are turning to follow the hounds."--British Museum online catalogue

"Heading to a printed broadside. Four well-dressed men hold open a large bag, resting on the ground, in which stands a fifth, in profile to the right, who says indignantly to one of the openers: "Oh here you are--now for the Truth, the whole Truth & nothing but the Truth, by whose authority did you make Tools of the Clergy, to create divesions [sic] among their Parishione's [sic], & become sources of discord instead of Peace Makers." The other draws back disconcerted, answering: "Indeed it was not my master but the Pit Club, to whom the Nation is so much indebted." The first speaker rejoins: "Yes to whome the Nation is indebted 9 Hundred Millions." A slanting blast issues from the bag to the left, carrying into the air Wellington astride a cannon, who turns round to look anxiously down at the bag, and is followed by a cannon supported on clerical arms and legs and ridden by a bishop. The latter says: "my Minor Cannon are of little use." A little man (? Canning) runs in the blast, below Wellington. Smoke surrounds the bag. The text is the speech of Mr. Marsh at the Hampshire meeting on 12 Jan., when petitions to both Houses in favour of the Queen were resolved on. The plate illustrates a passage from the facetious printed speech: 'Besides the Ultras had a terrible weight of metal for the fight. They could muster all the great guns from Portsmouth; and if these did not do execution enough, they had at hand the little canons of Winchester.'"--British Museum online catalog

"O'Connell (unrecognizable) marches jauntily to a door on the extreme right, over which is a board inscribed 'St Ste[phens] To Trespassers Men-Traps--Constantly Set--Beware'; he is followed by an Irish mob, yelling and flourishing shillelaghs. He wears barrister's wig and gown with a mitre-shaped cap decorated with a cross, shamrock, and bells (emblem of folly). Under his right arm is a large book inscribed '1 & 2'; his left hand rests on a stout stick. His gown is held up by a ragamuffin and the procession is headed by a bloated priest who holds up on a bludgeon a placard: 'Unconditional Emancipation O C For Ever'; this is surmounted with shamrock. The crowd are evidently from St. Giles and similar Irish slums in London; two carry hods, emblem of the Irish builder's labourer or hodman. On the extreme left in the foreground is an Irish basket-woman, holding her basket, smoking a short pipe; she shouts 'Stop wid ye now--are ye goin to lave the ladies behind--ye blackguards.' She is barefooted, very ragged, and wears a soldier's jacket (cf. British Museum Satires No. 15721). See British Museum Satires No. 15759, &c."--British Museum online catalogue

"Thomas Coke of Norfolk leads his bride through a pastoral landscape; he prances gaily along hat in hand, turning to look at her, and singing, Oh the Days when I was Young; in his left hand is a book: Coke upon Littleton [see British Museum Satires No. 14423]. She takes his left arm, holding back the gauze veil that floats from a bonnet trimmed with flowers and towering feathers. Her tight-waisted pelisse has a deep crimson border. She is gravely demure, but sings: Of all the Gay Lads that Dance on the Green, Old Tommys the Lad for Me. He looks younger than 67, she older than 18. Behind them (right) is a country church, before them a signpost pointing To the Breeding Park and To the Nursery. An old ram branded C approaches a sheep; a French greyhound prances towards a decrepit and shaggy dog."--British Museum online catalogue

"Two cats on garden walls approach each other menacingly. One (left) is white, with the features of Queen Caroline, the other a dark tabby with the features of George IV. Each miaows, raising an angry paw. The Queen is on a 'Party Wall', at right angles to that of the King. In the garden below is a placard, 'Malbrou'. She says: "Meyough you -- you have no business to go Caterwalling." He says: "Meyough you B-- you have no business to come so near me." Below the design: 'Like two Cats on a Wall; They Quarrel & Snarl, To amuse the Weak Minds of the Nation. They Squander large Sums, Expose their bare Bums, For all which they deserve Castigation.'"--British Museum online catalogue

"Wellington, in uniform, stands in profile to the left, with sword erect. He has enormous ass's ears, and to his back the body and hindlegs of an ass are attached. With his left hand he holds a Chancellor of the Exchequer's gown over the ass's back. Above, and behind his head: I should be mad--or worse, than mad--to think of taking the office of P---- e M---- r."--British Museum online catalogue
