"John Bull stands with a whip, jovially watching the baking of ships for France in a 'Dutch Oven' (right). A fat Dutchman, an empty pipe in his mouth, pushes into the oven on a shovel a batch of ships, saying, "Donder & Blaxan to Dis Fraternization instead of smoaking mine Pipes & sacking De Gold, Dis french Broders make me build Ships Dat Mynheer Jan Bull may have De Fun to take dem." A ragged Frenchman kneels behind him holding out another batch of ships on a tray, saying, "Sacredieu Citoyens make a Haste wit one autre Fleet, den we will shew you how to make one grande Invasion." Beside the oven (right) a French peasant, more ragged and abject, approaches with a heavy receptacle inscribed: 'Ruination, Botheration, Confiscation, Requisition, Plunderation, Limitation, Execution, Constitution, Fraternization, Naturalization, Expedition, Abolition, Cutthroatation & Damnation'. Behind the Dutchman a Spaniard supports on his head a tray of cannon, saying, "How! That Nelson wit one Arm & Eye, can take our Ships by Dozens then vat shall we do against the autres, wid two Arms and Eyes, dey will have two dozen at a Time". John Bull answers, a hand on his fat paunch, "What? you could not find that out before you stupid Dupes, but since you began the fun you shall keep on - So work away Damn ye else Jack Tar will soon be idle". Behind (left) a grinning Jack Tar capers, with a large tray of ships on his head, saying, "Push on keep moving [cf. BMSat 9010] I'll soon come for another Cargo for Old England for ever Huzza."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A man, hat in hand, sits on a cat, which was on a low chair beside the fire.

Before the fire is a round table with work-basket, &c. Against the wall hangs a bird in a cage."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A scene in the Strand, showing Ackermann's shop. In the foreground a man and dog chase a hat, followed by a small butcher's boy (left). Two fat women with baskets on their heads watch from the right. On the pavement is an amused muffin-man, ringing his bell. A woman helps herself to a muffin. A young woman stands on the pavement, her hands in a large muff, her feathered hat sailing upwards. In the middle distance the road is blocked by a scavenger's cart, from which a dense cloud rises, and men with shovels and broom. Ackermann's is a house with four first-floor windows. The (glass) door is inscribed 'Caricatures' and 'N 101 Strand'; above it is a tilted board: 'Ackermanns Repository of Arts'. On the left. of the door is an ale-house window from which two grinning men look out."--British Museum online catalogue.
