Abstract:
"John Bull, a spectacled citizen, sits by the table in the Commons reading an 'Extraordinary Red Book' and registering frantic anger. He shouts: "Oh!!--Monstrous!!!--that twenty six State Cormorants should swallow annually an aggregate sum: under the name of salaries, independent of the indefinible emoluments which result from other sources of gain amounting to--£453,692. Can we any longer wonder that the love of Place in these men should supersede every more exalted consideration." The mace rests on a scroll which hangs from the table: 'Plac[es] Earl of Liverpool 14,000,-- Mr Vansittart £7,500, &--Ge Rose £16,551--Vist Melville £11,000-- Mr Wellesley Pole £10,000.' On the floor is a paper: 'Droits of Admiralty' [see British Museum Satires No. 10967]. On the right behind John's chair Ministerial members sit in a close row, with a second row standing behind them. One stands on the extreme right holding a long scroll whose coiled end is under John's chair. It is 'A List of Placemen Pensions and Sinecures--Lord Arden £38,574 [cf. British Museum Satires No. 12802]--Earl Bathurst and C°--£37,225--Lord Castlereagh for Two Years Service £71,000--Ld Ellenborough £24,100--Ld Eldon £40,000 & & &c--Marquis Camden £23,000.' The members are burlesqued; four of them say: "I swallow--£10,000 and do very little for it"; "and I £16,000-- for doing next to nothing"; "and I 40,000£--for doing less"; "and I [Castlereagh] £71,000--for doing nothing at all." A fifth, wearing tartan with a Scots cap and taking snuff from a ram's horn mull (evidently Melville), says: "and I 18,000--for doing worse!"."--British Museum online catalogue

"Evidently by an amateur. The names of the four Russians who advance from the right in profile are etched below the design. A hugely broad and fat don at the head of a procession of senior, and very ugly, members of the University takes with his left hand the left hand of the 'Duchess of Oldenburgh' who is straight and thin, her head entirely concealed in a huge 'Oldenburgh bonnet', and wearing long hanging sleeves resembling those of the dons' gowns. Behind him (left) is a don holding a (?) Bible. The duchess is followed by two hideous old women, broad and squat, 'Mesds Aladensky & Volochousky' [? the wife of Prince Nikita Volkonsky, A.D.C. to the Tsar]. Behind them walks 'Prince Gagarin', hat in hand, very broad and tall, and heavily whiskered. In the middle distance is a crowd of slim undergraduates, some of whom throw their caps into the air, with a few ladies. Behind is the dome of the Radcliffe Camera with the towers and spires of Oxford."--British Museum online catalogue

"A companion plate to No. 12826. Byron is the centre of a promenade scene resembling No. 12840; he walks (left to right) with a lady on each arm; they have some resemblance to two of the women in No. 12826, and one may be Mrs. Mardyn. Both frown angrily; one holds a huge muff. Byron wears a bell-shaped top-hat on projecting curls, with a high collar and stock, and a coat buttoned to the waist, and sweeping the ground, with baggy trousers gathered at the ankle. They meet a third lady, apparently pregnant, both arms in a muff, who stares angrily at Byron. All wear flaunting hats or bonnets with high cylindrical crowns, short full skirts. Behind them walks a stout ugly woman who passes a letter to a man behind her, grinning slyly, while he leers grotesquely and thrusts papers into a reticule hanging from her wrist. He is an absurd dandy with very wide trousers, shock of hair, small hat, and high neck-cloth. In the background is a high phaeton driven by a man of fashion. In the foreground (left) is an amateur coachman in back view, holding a coach-whip, and wearing a voluminous multi-caped coat resting on the ground (cf. No. 12375)."--British Museum online catalogue

In the hull of a ship, sea-sick men lay in their bunks, some vomiting over the side; an overturned chamber pot sits in the middle of the floor. One hardy-looking man heads up the ladder with a simple sextant in his arm. Sea chests are seen below the bunks and swords are hung on the walls

A group of military men stand in an arcade. One man in the center holds out to another a piece of paper entitled "New art of tormenting to be submitted". On the walls through the arches are seen three pictures that illustrate the subject of the print. On the left, a picture of a buildings "Recorders Court"; in the center, partially obscured by a pillar a picture of an ass entitled "The ass ... Natural history"; and on the right a picture of a white man whipping a black man whose hands are tied to a stack, entitled View of Go[...] Coast of Afr[ica]. Below the picture on the right is a shelf with three books with spine titles: Johnaton[...], Spelling book, and Oeconomy. On the wall on the far right is a chart "Memorandum for myself. Eigleon Manuevers" followed by two columns of numbers
