"George IV, as Falstaff, sits in a high-backed chair with a grotesquely fat Doll Tearsheet (Lady Conyngham) on his knee. He holds a large glass of wine and looks at her with appraising melancholy. She pouts her lips to kiss. Their words are engraved below: Falstaff--hou dost give me flattering busses. Doll Nay, truly; I kiss thee with a constant heart. Fal-I am old, I am old. Doll-I love thee better than I love e'er a scurvy young boy of them all. --vide Shakspeare ['II Henry IV, II. iv.] Behind (right) stands Bardolph, with the head and nose of Curtis, talking to a lean Mrs. Quickly, who has the unmistakable profile of Lord Conyngham, behind whom a huge antlered stag's head looks down from the wall. Both women wear steeple-crowned hats, but the dress of one is flamboyant and ornate, of the other demure. A man looks in cautiously from the doorway. On the wall is a hanging on which is depicted the Prodigal Son turning his back on trough and swine to receive his father's embrace."--British Museum catalogue

"George IV (right), as Henry VIII (see British Museum Satires No. 13664, &c.), wearing ermine robes and ruff, sits on a dais under a canopy, his eyes turned sideways to the right. In his right hand is a goblet; on a table before him is a decanter of 'Curacoa'. Against this, at a lower level, is a second table on which is the mace; on each side sits a cardinal, gaping in astonishment at Queen Caroline, as Katharine of Aragon; she stands facing the King at the end of the table (left), wearing quasi-Tudor robes. She declaims Queen Catherine's speech, abridged: "Sir, I desire you do me right and justice, And to bestow your pity on me: for I am a most poor woman, and a stranger, Born out of your dominions; -- If, in the course And process of this time, you can report, And perove [sic] it too, against mine honour aught, My bond to wedlock, or my Love and duty Against your sacred person, in Gods name, Turn me away ;-- and so give me up To the sharpest kind of justice." Under Castlereagh's foot lies 'Mag[na] Charta'; his vis-à-vis cardinal is Sidmouth. Next Castlereagh (right) sits a lawyer, writing (? Leach). Beside him is a large bag with its neck encircled by hissing serpents; it is placarded: 'A Green Bag! filled with Spite Envy Malice. Hatred Lies &c &c &c' [see British Museum Satires No. 13735, &c.]. On each side of the King stands a bishop holding a crosier, one the Archbishop of Canterbury, the other probably Pelham of Exeter, see British Museum Satires No. 13946. Behind the Queen and on the extreme left stands Wood in his alderman's gown. Beefeaters stand against the wall."--British Museum online catalogue

"Four designs on one plate, separated by intersecting lines, each having a separate title, inscription, and border. [1] MODESTY! The Princess of Wales and Bergami seated together in an opera-box; the occupants of the pit, all men, look up at the box, shouting "Via! via! hiss hiss s s s." The pair frown angrily; Bergami holds a bottle labelled 'Bergamot' and wears braided hussar uniform. The Princess wears a Turkish turban, a very décolletée dress defines bulging contours. A cross on the wall with the inscription 'Republica Genovese' shows that the scene is Genoa. Below: "Her Modest looks a Cottage might adorn, Sweet as the primrose peeps beneath the thorn" ... [2] DIGNITY! A scene in the Captain's cabin; the Princess and Bergami sit close together at a round table laid for dinner. She wears the same Turkish dress, which is now seen to have trousers. Both frown angrily at a naval officer who stands before them, hat in hand, saying: "I can recognize no power in you to enoble any one--and I shall not degrade myself & the Service by sitting at the table with such a fellow as that." Another officer stands by, and a midshipman walks off (right), exclaiming, "What will the larboard birth say to this?!!" "Grace was in all her steps, Heaven in her eye, In all her actions [sic] dignity"--[Milton on Eve.] ... [3] CHASTITY!-- The Princess, seated on a couch, embraces Bergami; both are dressed as before. Below: "-- Chaste as the Icecle, That's curded by the frost from purest snow, And hangs on Dian's Temple -- " ['Coriolanus', v. 3.] [4] NATIONAL LOVE!-- A scene in the palace of Murat (Joachim, King of Naples), with Vesuvius seen through a window (right). The Princess, in her Turkish costume, walks with Pauline Borghese, their arms interlaced. She places a wreath on the bonnet rouge which decorates a bust of 'Murat' (left), which has grotesquely long moustaches. Pauline (as in British Museum Satires No. 10072) has the patched face which indicates a damaged reputation, and wears a dress of transparent gauze; she turns to take a letter addressed 'Principessa Paulina' from a leering Italian.
