Abstract:
"Dressing-room scene. A dandy stands by the dressing-table (right) making a gesture of rejection towards his wife (left). He is lacing a pair of stays over his shirt and puffed-out breeches. His waist is very small, his bare legs emaciated, his mouth a small irregular aperture; a set of false teeth is on the dressing-table. She is plump and comely, and holds out her arms to him; she wears frilled drawers reaching below the calf, and a long pad across her shoulders to give her short-waisted dress the fashionable line, cf. British Museum Satires No. 12939. A large fire is burning; on it is an iron; kettle and coffee-pot are on the hob. Before it on a towel-rail hang stockings and other garments; top-boots are warming by the fender. A mirror reflects the back of the dandy's head, with its grotesque collar. A high-shouldered coat hangs on a T-shaped stand. On a shelf above the wash-stand a pair of short yellow gloves (cf. British Museum Satires No. 13071) is drying on stands. A doorway (left) leads to a bedroom."--British Museum online catalogue

"John Bull, a fat 'cit', walks on hands and feet, overburdened with panniers containing royal dukes and their wives. He raises the left leg to propel the Duke of Clarence from his back into a pond (right); on the Duke's shoulders sit two young women, who are also about to land in the pond in which is a notice-board: 'Slough of Jordan'. Three pairs of feminine legs and one pair in trousers emerge from the pond, where their owners have fallen head first; two chamber-pots inconspicuously floating among the legs show by a coarse pun that these belong to FitzClarences, the Duke's children by Mrs. Jordan, cf. No. 7908, &c. The Duke who flourishes a cat-o'-nine-tails, exclaims "Curse him he has kick'd me off, take [sic] we shall be in the slough by G-". In the near pannier on John's left stands the Duke of Kent, one arm round his betrothed, the other flourishing a long whip, with his right leg raised and resting on John's shoulder, which his spur gashes. Beside the Princess of Leiningen stands the Duchess of Cumberland extending her arms towards her husband who lies on the ground, clutching a whip with a long weighted lash. She says: "Oh mine dear why you Tomble out make hase [sic] haste you get up again!" He: "No! No! my dear this is the second fall I have had, I shall not venture a third time, so you must e'en ride without me!" In the other pannier stands the Duke of Cambridge, raising his heavy whip to lash John Bull; his betrothed, the Princess Augusta of Hesse-Cassel, stands behind him with her hands on his shoulders. He says: "Come up you lazy Animal why you are as sluggish as a Jack Ass! spur him up, -why the stupid Animal is totally ignorant of the honor done him, Aye and of the grandeur and brilliance we shall display. beside Johnny its the Money we want not the Wives, consider the number of Bastards we have to keep,." She says: "Ah so you whip de Monies from Johnny Bull." John, looking up towards his tormentors, says: "Curse the honor, the Brilliance, the Luxury, extravagance, the Debauchery and all the rest, give me but a little ease, and allow me to keep a little of my hard earnings, and then I will trudge on, but I cannot labour without Victuals, or pay without Money, t'is too much for any Animal to bear." All the brothers wear uniform; Clarence that of an admiral, Cumberland that of a hussar, with furred dolman. Princess Elizabeth and her husband, see No. 12986, &c., stand together in the background (left) in travelling dress, watching John Bull. Near them and on the extreme left is Castlereagh standing on a mounting-block with three steps inscribed respectively: 'Conceit', 'Importance', 'Effrontery'. He takes from a man whose hand and foot only are visible (as in other representations of the Regent) a great pile of new burdens for John Bull, saying, "I'll put it on! he will bear it, and more still." These bulky packages are: 'New fasioned [sic] Loans', 'New export Duties', 'New Yachts', 'New Madhouses', 'New Palaces', 'New Streets', 'New Jails', 'New Churches'."--British Museum online catalogue

"A naval officer and a lady holding up a parasol walk arm-in-arm along the fortified quay of a naval port. He is accosted by a petty officer, hat in hand, and asks: "Well Mate! just come on shore? how did you leave the ships crew?" The mate: "Why Captain, I have left them all to a man the merriest fellows in the world--I flogged seventeen of them as your Honor commanded, and they are happy it is over; and the rest are happy because they have escaped." Behind, a sentry stands at attention. On the right a sailor wearing a top-hat makes a boat fast to the quay."--British Museum online catalogue
