"After the title: 'Dedicated to the enlightened and temperate Protestants of the united Kingdoms--.' The 'Bugabo' is held up by an Irishman in the centre of the design: a huge sheaf of straw to which is tied a mask inscribed 'Inquisition' with glaring eye-balls and fanged mouth; from the sheaf project a cross and a lighted church candle. The Irishman peeps from behind it, saying, 'Hurra! by Jasus! a'rnt I a comeing.' He terrifies a crowd of 'old women' (right) who flinch, flee, and fall. The foremost is Eldon, wearing a cap over a Chancellor's wig, and holding a 'Petition of the Old Women of Petty France Westmr against Catholic Emancipation' [cf. BM Satires No. 15716]. He says: 'Avaunt and quit my sight! Hence! Horrible shadow Hence! Hence without Hesitation!!' A little boy exclaims: 'D'ont be frightened Mother! why i'ts only straw!' A woman, holding a big birch-rod, to show that she is (?) Joseph Birch, M.P. for Nottingham, exclaims: 'Oh! this is the consequence of that fatal Thursday! O that I could give them their deserts I'd make them remember Birch!!' Of the remaining six women, one exclaims 'Indeed Sir it was not me that cried No Popery'; two others wear ducal coronets: Cumberland (moustached) says: 'Only let me catch you in Cumberlan thats all!' Newcastle (unrecognizable) adds: 'Aye or at Newcastle we'd make Pickle Salmon of him.' On the extreme left are Wellington and Peel; the Duke, who is in uniform with cocked hat, sword, and boots, says to Peel: 'That many would be frightened at straws is no more than I anticipated my worthy Colleague! -- but depend upon it they will find the Hearts of his Majestys Catholic Subjects contain as much Honor Loyalty and Gratitude as those of their fellow Countrymen of a different persuasion --and in time they will find I have made no Mistake!!' Peel, who walks hat in hand, carrying a box of 'Candi[ed] Peel', answers: 'It is with this conviction I have candidly acknowledged my change of former sentiments assured that your measures as leader of His Majesty's Government will prove as conducive to the Peace and Happiness of these realms as your Tactics when Leader of his Armies.'"--British Museum online catalogue

"Queen Caroline, not caricatured, wearing Bergami's miniature as in British Museum Satires No. 14103, &c., stands on the summit of a column holding out a paper inscribed 'R+G+NA still in spite of them.' Her left hand supports a medallion, inscribed 'Knight of Saint Caroline' [see British Museum Satires No. 13810], on which is a realistic bust portrait of Bergami, wearing an order, the head much larger than her own. Beside it on the capital stand two billing doves. The pedestal, which stands on a triple plinth, is inscribed 'This Column is intended to perpetuate the glorious adventures of an I - L - - T - - - - S F - M - - E' [illustrious female]. Two figures flank the pedestal, standing on the upper plinth: on the left the Princess, in scanty draperies as the 'Neapolitan Muse of History' [see British Museum Satires No. 13890, &c.], holds an open book: 'Boccaccio illustrated.' On the right, in contemporary dress, and garlanded with roses, she is 'Columbine of Como' [see British Museum Satires No. 14120, &c.]; she wears a simple garden hat in which are three peacock's feathers, cf. British Museum Satires No. 13299, &c. This plinth is centred by a Maltese cross supported by lion and unicorn. Above the pedestal and at the base of the column crouch two satyrs holding between them a ribbon inscribed 'Order of Saint Caroline' [see British Museum Satires No. 13810, &c.] from which dangles a large Maltese cross; one holds up a bottle of 'Acqua Vita', the other a goblet of wine. On the column are five realistic little scenes, divided by captions on a spiral border, incidents of the Princess's travels as related by the witnesses against her. These are, reading upwards: '[Ri]ding to Jerusalem'; she heads the procession on an ass (see British Museum Satires No. 13918, &c.). 'In the Tent', she and Bergami on adjacent couches, see British Museum Satires No. 13818. 'Taking a bath'; Bergami fills the bath in which she sits (see British Museum Satires No. 13819). 'On board the Polacre' [see British Museum Satires No. 13818]; Bergami sits on a cannon embracing the Princess who is on his knee. 'Returning with pillow'; she walks from a room in which Bergami lies (see British Museum Satires No. 13822, &c.). Above, and at the Princess's feet, is the inscription: 'Pleasures obtained with 30.000 Per annm'. The column is flanked by a trophy of eight banners, with inscriptions, all surmounted by emblems of societies which had supposedly presented Addresses to the Queen (cf. British Museum Satires No. 14119). On the left: 'Ladies Address--Birds of a Feather signed Queens Own'. This is surmounted by a crouching satyr-Cupid aiming his bow. Next, surmounted by a brush: 'Chimney sweepers--who says touching makes dirt.' Next, a banner with two white favours topped by a handbell: 'Honble Company of Dustmen--Dust-Ho!' Last, the flag of the 'Taylors NB Patches put on', is surmounted by goose (bird) and shears. On the right a tattered flag supports a pair of breeches: 'Breeches Makers--Where does honour lie.' Above this, a flag inscribed 'Nightmen call it Filth Tis Cleanliness' is surmounted by a lantern and a bundle of rods. Next, a large white flag is inscribed 'Bricklayers Plaisterers and Whitewashers', and is surmounted by trowel, hod, line, and level. A flag with the butchers' emblem, marrow-bones and cleaver, is inscribed 'Procumbit humi bos Bergamo'. The whole is flanked at the base by two figures: Wood (left), wearing a furred gown, and with a long staff, shouts, holding up a huge cocked hat inscribed 'Un-Adulterated'; on hat and breast are enormous white favours; in his pocket is a paper: 'A powerful Substitute for Malt & Hops'. On the right a ragged newsboy blows his horn; he holds a sheaf of 'The Times', and on his hat are a large favour and a paper: 'Glorious News'."--British Museum online catalogue

"The Pope has descended from his dais (r.) to bless the Petitioners; his cross rests against his shoulder, and both hands are extended, a ring on each forefinger. Behind the Pope, standing on tiptoe on the Papal robe, is Napoleon, dressed as at his coronation, wearing his crown and holding his sceptre. He puts his hand on the Pope's shoulder and says: "Thank them for pleading our cause and particularly for their assertion that the rightoman Catholic Religion is totally altered, make the people believe that, and we'll soon give them the second part of Fox's book of Martyrs." At the head of the petitioners kneels Fox, saying, "Bad luck now, better next time please your Holiness." The Pope says: "Bless you all my Children, for the great good you intended us, but it is not in Mortals, to command success, My Master here, will be very much disappointed". Behind Fox, Norfolk and Sheridan kneel side by side. Next are Derby, in hunting-dress, bending his head, and Moira in regimentals, very erect. Behind them and on the extreme left. Grattan stands, bending forward to swing a censer over the heads of the kneeling men."--British Museum online catalogue

"Bergami, very swarthy, dressed as a courier, rides (right to left) a galloping she-goat with the head of Queen Caroline. She smiles, holding the rein in her mouth. Both look to the picture plane, the Queen pleased, Bergami complacent. He flourishes a heavy postilion's whip with a long curling lash. Behind are trees, Lake Como, and Villa d'Este, inscribed 'Licenced Temple of Fancy'. Figures posture on the roof, as if dancing, as in British Museum Satires No. 14189.

Abstract:
"A smiling bearded Cossack strides towards the spectator, spear in hand, with the left hand he places his conical furred cap over a tiny terrified Napoleon. He says: "I'll Extinguish Your little French-- Farthing--Rush light--Master Boney." Napoleon exclaims, trying to run away: "Death and Fury!--how I burn with Rage--those "Frightful--" Contempable [sic] Cossacks has Clouded all my hopes." They are on a plateau: the head of the Cossack's horse is on the extreme left; troops are marching on the plain, where a Cossack is galloping. In the background is the walled town of Leipzig, backed by mountains."--British Museum online catalogue

"George IV sits full-face in a chair of state, in coronation robes, between Castlereagh (left) and Liverpool (right) who reach up to bind a pair of tall antlers on his forehead, with a Garter ribbon, inscribed 'Honi Soit Q . . Mal . y. Pe[nse]'. He holds a sceptre terminating in a stag's head, round his neck is the collar of an order on the jewel of which is a stag's head. His right foot is on a paper: 'Order R--l Yacht to sail to Cuckold's point [a place on the Thames] G R'; his left foot is regally on a footstool. A green bag (see British Museum Satires No. 13735) is tied to the back of each Minister, inscribed: 'Christian [scored through] Loaded with Sins Green Bag'. That of Castlereagh is attached with a strap inscribed 'House of Cxxmxxs', that of Liverpool with one inscribed 'House of Lxxds'. From the former's pocket hangs: 'A list of Italian false Swearers' [see British Museum Satires No. 13762, &c.]; from the latter's hangs a 'Bill of Degradation and Divorce, L--d L.' The King says: "Oh! beware, --of jealousy; It is a Green-bag'd monster,--do you really think they become me." Liverpool answers: "Whether they become you or not they will look uniform at Court [cf. British Museum Satires No. 12173]." Castlereagh: "We are well aware She did not place them on.--no matter, it must go down, besides there has just arrived several notorious villions from Italy who will swear She did, and we are determined you shall be crown 'd one way, or other." Watching the ceremony from the background is a row of courtiers (left), all antlered; one (Hertford) holds a Lord Chamberlain's wand. On the right is a row of plump ladies.
