"Lady Conyngham stands directed to the left, feet apart, dressed as in British Museum satires no. 15720; she amusingly combines the ultra-feminine with masculine attributes and stance. She is immensely fat and wide with small cherubic features and curls; under her left arm is a cocked blunderbuss. She wears a wide-brimmed hat, a neckcloth fastened with a jewelled crown, a coach-guard's greatcoat, wide open over her tight-waisted dress. A pouch hangs from her shoulder and two coach-horns from her left arm. Above her head: 'I says to our Governor says I--keep your eye on them ere Leaders George'; i.e. on Lyndhurst and Scarlett, see British Museum satires nos. 15720, 15850. Cf. British Museum satires no. 15716."--British Museum online catalogue

"A man, thin, elderly, and bald, leans back despairingly in an arm-chair by the fire, grimacing with upturned eyes, and holding a (useless) medicine-bottle. He is tormented by six little demons; one bores into his skull with an auger, another with a bit. A third raises a mallet to strike a wedge into the skull. One sits on his victim's shoulder, holding a music-book and bawling into his ear, another blows a trumpet against his cheek. A sixth runs up his arm to bring a red-hot poker into action."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
