"Skaters have fallen upon breaking ice, some lie flat; heads and legs and arms emerge in wild confusion. In the middle distance (right) two skaters, one a parson, flee headlong from the danger-spot. On the shore (left) three men stand watching the catastrophe with amusement. Farther off is a marquee within which are tiny figures seated at a table."--British Museum online catalogue

"A central monument [1] representing the French Republic is flanked by figures on pedestals inscribed [2] 'Liberty' and [3] 'Equality'. [1] A stout and frantic man rises from a tottering armchair which is poised on a pile of fragments of columns inscribed 'Humanity', 'Social Happiness', 'Tranquiliy' [sic], 'Security', 'Domestic Peace', 'Laws', 'Urbanity', 'Order', 'Religion'. On the back of his chair are the words 'Republic of Paris', the word 'France' having been scored through; beneath is a serpent. He shrieks "Ca ira", and holds a print inscribed 'Religious Indifference', on which a bishop and a monk burn at the stake. From behind him leans a nude and ugly man, with small wings, holding out to the left a cornucopia from which issue six papers inscribed 'Assignat' (cf. BMSat 8145). Above his head is the word 'Plenty'. Four famished and grotesque heads, in profile to the right, in the upper left corner of the design, lean avidly towards the assignats. [2] On the left an arrogant embodiment of Liberty stands in profile to the left, one foot resting on two volumes inscribed 'Law'. He is a ragged soldier with bare legs, left hand on hip; in his right hand he holds a dagger on which is spiked a bleeding head. He says, "Ah Ca! f-----u Convention". At his feet, and on the extreme left, five men kneel abjectly, raising their hands in supplication; the man in the foreground wears a legal wig. [3] On the right Equality is symbolized by a well-dressed man grovelling on his hands and knees, while a burly, ragged, and half-naked ruffian stands on his back threatening him with a club. Beside them (right) is a pictorial banner inscribed 'Humanity': a grinning virago kneels on the body of a naked and mutilated man, a dagger in her right hand; she holds up the bleeding heart of her victim. Above this group stands a soldier in profile to the right, blowing from a trumpet the words 'Peace of Europe Establish'd'. He holds a match to the touch-hole of a mortar, inscribed 'Abolition of Offensive War', which is emitting cannon-balls; behind is a fortification inscribed 'Geneva'. He is inscribed 'Peace', and is a pendant to 'Plenty'."--British Museum online catalogue

"The head and shoulders of a man repeated six times in different attitudes. Above (right) the Duke of Hamilton (see BMSat 7958), good-looking, with bare clenched fists looks up and to the left, as if facing an antagonist. In successive stages one eye is closed and bleeding, the nose and then the mouth are bleeding, cuts on the face and forehead appear. In the last stage, in the lower left corner of the design, the grossly disfigured head lies unconscious, blood pouring from the mouth."--British Museum online catalogue

"The head and shoulders of Lady Archer at different stages of her toilet. In the first (right), wearing a night-cap, with unsightly pendent breasts, she looks up to the left, tears falling from an empty eye-socket, her gaping mouth showing toothless jaws. In the next she fits in an eye, in the third she places a wig on her head, in the fourth (below on the right) she fits in a set of false teeth; in the next she applies rouge to her cheeks with a hare's foot, holding a mirror. In the last (left) she appears a pretty young woman, holding a mask in her hand. In the last two stages her arms, which were skinny and muscular, have become smooth and rounded and her breasts have been covered with the gauze drapery then fashionable."--British Museum online catalogue
