Abstract:
"The interior of an art-school. A stout woman (nude) sprawls awkwardly on an armchair on the model throne, round which fat Dutchmen are grouped. One, seated on an upturned tub (right), paints at a large canvas on an easel, the figure being realistically drawn. Others sit on the floor or on stools, drawing on smaller canvases. One stands (left) behind a high desk. Some smoke pipes. The room is lit by a smoky lamp hanging from the roof, throwing the light directly on the model. On the wall are prints, casts on brackets, and a picture. A ladder leans against a beam. The artists wear the round hats, short jackets, and bulky breeches of Dutchmen in caricature."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The interior of a barber's shop. A very old and completely bald man reclines in an arm-chair (left), a cloth over his shoulders; a fat barber is about to place on his head a tie-wig. On the ground at his side lies a wig with a long pigtail queue which is being befouled by a dog. Behind, on a tall stand, is a barber's block fitted with a small wig. The barber's assistant, a lean man wearing spectacles and an apron, fits a small wig on the head of a stout man, who stands in profile to the right, his hand in his coat-pocket. On the right is a lattice window in three divisions; a man sits in a chair facing the window. Wigs are hung up in the window. On a high shelf (left) are round wig-boxes. Next the shelf is nailed up a print of Absalom hanging from a tree, while his horse gallops away. ... The ceiling is raftered."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Fox, in a diver's dress which leaves his face and hands bare, stands on the bed of the ocean, speaking, through a tube inscribed 'Haul up', to his assistants in a boat; these haul on a pulley attached to the mast of the boat, but cut off by the upper margin. Fox has fastened the rope to a chest inscribed '10 Per Cent'; this, with an anchor inscribed 'Pig Iron' and three barrels, one inscribed 'Beer Tax', lies on the ocean bed. He turns his back on the dead body of John Bull, lying on his back, beside the wrecked hull of the 'Constitution Cutter - John Bull commander (whose cargo he is seizing); only the top of the mast projects above the surface of the 'Ocean of Taxation'; on this a carrion bird perches, another flies towards it. The boat from which Fox has descended is 'The Experiment'; in it are salvaged money-bags inscribed '10 Pr Cent'; its crew are (l. to r.), Windham (?), Sheridan, Erskine, and Petty."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The Pope (left), on a small ass decked with trappings, faces John Bull, who stands as toll-keeper before a closed five-barred gate. From the other side of the gate a path leads to a country church on a hill, irradiated, and framed by the semicircular inscription: 'King - Church and Constitution'. The Pope, except that he wears a Papal crown instead of a mitre, resembles St. Patrick in caricature (where he often rides an ass). He is aquiline and bearded, holds a crosier, and wears a cope. His ass has blinkers, on which a satyr's mask is freely drawn. He leans towards John, saying, "Mr Bull, I have been to Paris - and seen all the fine sights there - I now want to have a peep at that little Church on the Hill - therefore let me pass the turnpike." John (right), a fat yokel, looks up at the Pope with a suspicious scowl, pointing over his shoulder at a large open book, 'Test Oath', which is on a book-rest attached to the gate-post. He says: "If you want to go through - pay the Toll, what the devil do you think I keep a turnpike gate for?" Behind the Pope stand four dissenting ministers anxiously watching the interview. Three say sanctimoniously : "Though I boast not gaudy trappings, - nor am I mounted on Ass back, - yet if he goeth through verily I should like to go through also!"; "Verily so should I."; "We should all like to go through".."--British Museum online catalogue
