"Queensberry (left) leans from the steps of his Piccadilly house, to leer through a double spy-glass (as in British Museum Satires No. 9082) at a buxom young woman who has just descended from a country wagon (right). She stands on the pavement next her father, a yokel in a smock-frock who is addressed by a fat bawd. The woman puts her hand on his shoulder, saying, "Its very lucky I met with you my honest Man if she behaves well she shall be promoted to the service of a Duke". He answers, "Very lucky indeed I'se Woundily Obliged to your Ladyship. My Dame always said as how Bet was cut out for Zarvice of your great Volkes." The wagoner is depositing in the road the corded box of Elisabeth Maybush; he looks up at Old Q, saying, "ah! I knew he'd dart out like an Old Spider at a Fly". A fashionably dressed young woman walks past the railings of 15 Piccadilly, the lower part of the house forming a background."--British Museum online catalogue

"Twelve men, realistically depicted, arranged in two rows, their words etched above their heads. Above are figures at a tavern dinner, all seated but the first and last. The chairman gives a toast: "Are you all charged Gentlemen". A guest orders: "A glass of Salt and Water for that Gentleman ..." A tipsy man says: "A Song Gentlemen if you please." A military officer flourishes arms and legs, spilling his wine: "Sing Old Rose, and burn the bellows, - the bellows, - The bellows". An apparently composed man says: "I humbly move to throw the waiter out of the window, and charge him in the bill." A man holding his coat over his arm says: "I'll burn my coat first for a hundred." Below are men in the street, all but the penultimate with bludgeons. One, resembling Hanger, says "Scour the Watch - a- hoy". The next shouts "Down with em' thats your sort" (cf. BMSat 8073). The next, tottering, and almost asleep, says, "We are the boys for a riot". The next two say, respectively, "Where the deuce have we got to now and Scudding before the gale by Jupiter." The last, seated on the ground asleep, leans against a post: "Lodged for the Night". Similar in character to BMSat 8541, &c, and perhaps belonging to the same set."--British Museum online catalogue

"Leaders of the Opposition (left) turn a windlass which drags towards the shore a fantastic and enormous raft laden with French troops. They push against horizontal levers which pass through the broad centre-post on which the rope is wound; on the top of this Lauderdale, in Highland dress and on a smaller scale than the others, plays the bagpipes, from which issue the words: 'Over the Water & over the Sea, And over the Raft to Charlie.' He capers to his tune; a tricolour flag flies from his instrument. The most prominent figure is Fox, advancing full-face, and looking to the raft with a satisfied smile; he says, "Pull away Citizens". Behind him, the rope between them, is Bedford in riding-dress; under his arm is a book: 'Bedford on Agriculter' (cf. BMSat 8648). Opposite Fox is Tierney, saying, "We must take care to keep clear of the Rope". From his pocket hangs a paper: 'Borough Influence' (he was M.P. for Southwark, 'the Borough', cf. BMSat 9045). Sheridan, pushing hard in profile to the left, says: "Ah! The Rope We must avoid it if possible". Norfolk, on the extreme left, puts a hand on Tierney's lever; he says: "Hark Ther's a Storm coming. I hear Thunder." They walk on a circular track by the edge of a cliff. On the ground is a large open book: 'President of the Directory CIF. [Fox] Deputy a Bedfordshire Bull [cf. BMSat 8684]'. On it lies a 'Norfolk Cheese'. Behind (left) is a gallows inscribed 'Tierney' (almost obliterated) from which hangs a corpse. In the background is a hill on the summit of which is an encampment with massed troops flying the British flag. The raft nears the shore but is about to be overwhelmed by vast waves blown up by blasts from the mouths of Dundas, the King, and Pitt, whose heads emerge from dark clouds. Dundas, in profile to the left, aims his blast at the windlass; in it (right to left) are the names: 'Jack Ketch'; 'Addington, Bond, Staples [Bow Street justices]'; 'Macnamara Fugion, Macmanus, Townsend, Jelous' [Bow Street officers or 'runners']. The King and Pitt aim directly at the raft; from the mouth of the former (full-face) issue the names 'St Vincent, Pasley, Duncan, Pellew, Nelson'; from that of Pitt (in profile to the right): 'Trollope, Thomson, Bridport, Onslow, Pringle'. In the centre of the raft is a massive fortress manned with troops; from it flies a huge tricolour flag inscribed 'Liberty and Equality'. The fort is surrounded by tents; outside there are soldiers in close formation with bayonets. The outer edge is flanked by turrets, each having a (tricolour) flag inscribed: 'Plunder'; 'Regecides Paricides'; 'Deism Atheism'; 'Robbery'; 'Murder & Ravishmt'; 'Torture'; 'Blood & Rapine'; 'Cruelty & lust'; 'Barbar[ity]'. The motive force is given by wheels worked by windmills, and by large oars. In the bows is a guillotine surmounted by a bonnet-rouge; another guillotine decorates the stern. Behind the raft (left) advance ships of war. In the foreground, flying over the agitated sea like stormy petrels, are three winged heads (right to left): Erskine, Stanhope, and (?) Thelwall. Lauderdale, Fox, Sheridan, Norfolk, and Stanhope wear bonnets-rouges."--British Museum online catalogue
