Abstract:
"Sir F. Burdett, standing with his left foot forward, his head in profile to the left, his hat in his left hand, holds out a paper to an official whose presence is indicated by a heavy shadow, and the arc of a circular pavement. He is scarcely caricatured, except for the exaggeration of the crest of hair projecting over his forehead. His dress is as described (except that his cloak reaches almost to the ground instead of being short): 'A long white waistcoat [tunic], a blue sash, blue pantaloons, a short blue cloak with red lappet; a black round hat, with a white feather streaked with blue and red: half boots', op. cit., p. 6. Cf. BMSat 9182. In the print the red lining of the cloak predominates. A pilastered wall and stone-flagged floor form a background."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Courtney sits heavily in an arm-chair directed to the right, his head in profile to the right; his hands rest on his knees. His dress is that of a Membre du Tribunal Criminel, except that his cloak is long instead of knee-length, and except for the colour of his official ribbon, which denotes the Tribunal Correctionnel. He wears a hat turned up in front with feathers and tricolour cockade; round his neck hangs from a ribbon the emblem of a bundle of lictor's rods, from which projects an axe. [The Membre du Tribunal Correctionnel wore a blue ribbon with white and red borders (as in this print), his bundle of rods had no axe. The Membre du Tribunal Criminel wore a red ribbon with blue and white borders. The Membre du Tribunal Civil wore a white ribbon, with red and blue borders, from which was suspended a silver eye. 'Costumes des Représentans du Peuple Français.'] His chair is on a round dais of stone blocks above a flagged floor. A wall behind is of large stones; a heavy fringed curtain is draped on the left.

"Sir George Shuckburgh, in the white draperies with tricolour border and white cap of a Judge of the High Court, stands full-face on a low platform of stone slabs. His right hand is raised as if expounding a principle. Two tufts of hair project laterally from under his cap, and his upper lip and chin are conspicuously long. His dress is approximately correct, except that the cap is larger and the draperies rest on the floor instead of being ankle-length. The black and white paving of BMSat 9208 is repeated in front of the judge. Behind him a long cushioned bench (indicating the House of Commons) stretches across the design."--British Museum online catalogue

"Nicholls, M.P. for Tregony, sits in an arm-chair directed to the left; in his right hand is a tall staff in whose head is an eye; his left hand is thrust under his coat, which is buttoned. From a tricolour ribbon round his neck is suspended a small metal olive-branch. He wears his ordinary dress, his shrunken legs in wide half-boots. The portrait shows the notoriously ugly Nicholls, with his left eye closed, a projecting lower jaw, his upper lip drawn up in a permanent snarl. He sits on a square dais covered with a flowered carpet. Behind is a wall of heavy blocks of stone, in which (above his head) is a niche. In this stands a statue of Justice, her eyes covered by a bonnet-rouge, her scales and sword held up aggressively."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Six brutal-looking men, much caricatured, sit round a table in a cellar, listening with apprehensive intentness to their chairman, who reads a paper: 'State Arrests - O'Conner Binns Evans Quigley'. He sits in an arm-chair, a grotesque ragged creature with sleeves rolled up; in his right hand is a candle taken from a candle-stick on the table. Beside him is a tankard inscribed: 'Tom Treason Hell-Fire Celler Chick Lane'. Against his chair leans an open book: 'Proceedings of the London Corresponding Society Ts Firebrand Secretary - Delegates - Forging Sam Barber Joe Dick Butcher Dissenting Nick Sheepshead Will Cut down Lary'. These names belong to the persons depicted: a barber sits on an upturned tub on the chairman's left, a comb in his ragged hair, a pair of tongs leaning against the tattered hat which lies beside him. Next (left) is a butcher, his steel hanging from his waist. All are grotesque denizens of the underworld. Two prints are on the brick wall, bust portraits of 'Horne Tooke' and 'Tom Payne'. Through an open door (right) is seen a flight of stairs, steeply ascending."--British Museum online catalogue
