"A drinking scene; a drunken man carousing with two women, raising a glass into which Death, a crowned skeleton standing behind him, pours a liquid from a small bottle, a great quantity of steam or smoke rising off; one of the women lies asleep on the floor in front of the table, breasts exposed and a spilling glass in her hand, the other is falling off her chair at left, horrified, having spied Death; a dog and discarded flagon at lower left, a caged bird hanging from the ceiling, barrels of 'Old Tom' behind."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A scene near the sea. Two naval officers carry off two plump and pretty girls and run towards a boat, where two sailors wait (left). They are followed by a fat old woman, screaming furiously and brandishing an umbrella. She runs (right to left) at the head of a flock of schoolgirls, mature young women, two and two, who watch their captured companions with excited envy. They emerge from a shady lane where a signpost points (right) to 'Mrs Crostich's Boarding School for Young Ladies'. In the foreground (right) a grotesque lean and elderly man has fallen in the chase, losing his hat and wig, but clenching a fist, and clutching his cane in frantic anger. A dog joins in the chase."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"A colossal but life-like bust of Napoleon is placed on a mound of decollated human heads. He gazes fixedly upwards in profile to the left; round his neck and bare breast is twisted a noose of rope. Round this idol dance demons with human heads, holding hands. They are naked except for head-coverings, and have horns, hairy legs, tail, with one leg terminating in a cloven hoof, the other in the claw of a bird of prey. These 'Hell Hounds' have labels hanging from a collar of rope, showing that they are 'Caulincourt', 'Fouché', 'Savory', with a pen in his hat (he succeeded Fouché as Minister of Police in 1810), 'Vandamme', 'Davoust', 'Ney', 'Lefebre'. Two demons fly towards the emperor, holding a large wreath which is on fire, with the inscription 'He Deserves A Crown of Pitch.' This they are about to place on the idol's head, towards which gallops through the air a small demon (right) on a goat, blowing a horn. In the foreground lie dead and dying soldiers, one is decapitated, another (right) is naked and has lost an arm which he holds out with an agonized expression towards the idol. In the background (left) soldiers are feeding a bonfire with 'English Goods'. On the right is a blazing town."--British Museum online catalogue

"A yokel in a long smock (right) stands, hat in hand, before three elderly J.P.s in old-fashioned dress; he tugs at his rough hair. One of the justices sits in an arm-chair, with folded hands and downcast frown. The other two, leaning across a table on which are writing materials, scowl angrily; one, clenching his fist, says: "How dare you Fellow to say it is unfair to bring you before one hundred Magistrates when you see there are but three of us!" He answers: "Why please your Worship you maun know--when I went to school, they Taught I that a one and two O's stood for a hundred--so do you see your Worship be One and the other two be Cyphers!"."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
