Abstract:
"A design in three compartments, each with its title. [1] John Bull (left), very corpulent, a frothing tankard in his hand, sits in an arm-chair beside a table loaded with beef, pudding, and 'Home Brew'd'; he is approached by three famished Frenchmen, who lean eagerly towards him, cap in hand. He points to the table, saying: "The blessed effects of a good Constitution." The three say: "I am your Friend John Bull you want a Reform"; "My Honble Friend speaks my Sentiments"; "John Bull you are too Fat." Below: [2] The three Frenchmen, ragged, bare-legged, and fierce-looking, two with bludgeons and one with a dagger, advance menacingly to John Bull, who holds out a frog, saying: "A Pretty Reform indeed you have deprived me of my Leg and given me nothing but Frogs to eat I shall be Starved I am no Frenchman." He has a wooden leg, is less stout than in [1], and his clothes are ragged. The Frenchmen say: "Eat it you Dog & hold your Tongue you are very happy"; "Thats right my friend we will make him Happier still" (his cap is inscribed 'Ca ira'); "He is a little leaner now." Below: [3] John Bull lies prostrate screaming "O - H - O - H"; two frantic Frenchmen holding firebrands trample fiercely on him. One (left) says: "now he is quite happy I will have a Jump"; the other adds, "Oh Delightfull you may thank me you Dog for sparing your Life - thank me I say."--British Museum online catalogue
