"Three sailors sitting on trunks on board a ship, grimacing as they read papers. At centre one points to his paper, saying, 'Did you ever hear such palaver Jack - Just before an Action'; his paper is inscribed, 'nothing opposes the individual esteem entertaind for your excellency by your faithfull servant / J Moore / Cadiz'. At left, a sailor reads a paper inscribed, 'I am your Excellrncys most Humble Servant / Rossily'; his trunk is lettered 'Will bo[...]'. At right the third says, 'Be quiet you lubbers, you dont know how to be polite - one of the Mounseers has ax'd me a little time, before I blow him up, and see what a civil letter I have sent him.'; his trunk is lettered 'Junk' and his paper, 'Mounseer / I had the honor of your this morning, and if you don't surrender by six in the evening, I'll be d-d if I dont blow you up / yours / to command / Jack Junk'. On the floor in the foreground, a tankard of 'Grog', a pipe and broadsides, one of which is headed 'True courage'; a cannon behind at left. Reissue by Fores of a print originally published c. July 1808."--British Museum online catalogue and "In May-July 1808, at the beginning of the Peninsular war, the British fleet helped to defend the Spanish in Cádiz from the French fleet led by Rosily; the British officer John Moore left England for Portugal in July 1808.

"Ladies stand on a snow-covered bank in the middle distance watching the skaters. In the foreground are four skaters in absurd positions. A dandy (cf. British Museum Satires No. 13029) lies on his back, trying to ward off with one leg another who reels backward striking him on the chin with the point of his skate; the former says: "What are you at there! you'll put my wig out of Buckle." The other exclaims: "O Lord! how they are laughing at us!" A third dandy has collided with a fat man whom he clasps round the waist; both are about to fall heavily on the prostrate skater. He says: "Pon honor Sir I beg pardon! you must thank the Ladies!" Men in the distance skate with ease; some play (?) hockey with sticks and a cork."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Judges and barristers, variously mounted, and bunched together, are galloping towards Hell, where flames rise from a pit (right). They are led by the Devil, black and naked, with webbed wings, who rides the skeleton of a horse and grasps a sceptre inscribed 'P'. In front two demons, dressed as postilions, act as outriders riding together on a smaller horse's skeleton. The foremost flourishes two rolled documents: 'B[ill] of Indictment' and 'Exparte Information', and shouts: "D--n your lazy bones make haste, do'nt you see what company we have got." The other has a document inscribed 'Declaration' and cries: "Come Gentlemen do'nt be chop fallen tho' we have no juries you will have justice done ye--!" Nearest the spectator is Ellenborough mounted on a tiger, his head concealed, but identified by his wig and gown, his bulk, and his words (to the Devil): "You infernal Imp what are you grining at an be d--d to you!!" [cf. No. 12808]. Next him is the Chancellor, Eldon, on a horse; he says: "Throw it into Chancery, and I'll warrant it will lay there long enough." Beside these two are two barristers (perhaps the Attorney-General and the Solicitor-General, Shepherd and Gifford); one holds his nose, saying, "Curse it what a smell of Brimstone, one would think we were all going to Hell." The other, who rides a (?) fox, leans forward, to address the Devil: "I say Friend do you think we can put off the trial till next term." The Devil answers: "Indeed Friend Botherem we have no put off's in our court, Justice and Dispatch is the Law that guides us." A third barrister (left) sits facing his horse's tail, addressing a miserably emaciated and ragged man who is at the back of the procession on a wretched horse; he holds a 'Writ of Error' and says: "Egad I am afraid I shall not be up to the practice of this court, but with your assistance we shall have time to breathe a little." The other, who personifies the 'Long Vac[ation]', the name being on a scarf round his hat, answers: "Yes! yes! the long Vaccation has given many a poor fellow time to breathe, and brought their Tormentors to their last gasp!" In the background (left) a crowd of pedestrians advances with a banner inscribed 'Supaena' [sic]; above them hovers a demon."--British Museum online catalogue
