Abstract:
In the center of the image is a large bag, overflowing with loaves and fishes. It is drawn with eyes, nose, and mouth which register apprehension as it looks to the right. Its two sides are being pulled in opposite directions: on the left, it is pulled by sheep on their hind legs and on the right by bloated, carbuncled parsons from whose overfilled pockets flow coins and fish. Inscribed on the strip being pulled by the sheep, "Petitions from every parish in the city ... " The inscription on the strip being pulled by the parsons reads: Claims of the London clergy. Labels that appear above the heads of most of the sheep express outrage at the corruption and greed of the clergy while the labels coming from the clergy side express contempt for, and outrage with, their flock's resistance to their will. The clergy stand in a pool labelled "milk and honey"; papers with headlines such as "A Quaker's toast" and "Beggars petition" lay scattered on the ground. In the background, fat parsons dance around a pillar supporting a golden calf, while other parsons grovel on their knees

A haggard old woman carelessly mixing a recipe for corns on the fire in her sordid bedroom. As well as being cluttered with potions, the room contains an assortment of squabbling pets; on the wall hangs a painting depicting the attempted seduction of Susanna by the elders. The lettering below image, a recipe in verse, begins: "Take tacamahacca, an ounce & a half, a pound of good suet, from the skin of a calf, 3 barbicued apples, a ha'p'orth of pears, 3 dragon flies pounded, the ear wax of bears, a small peice of cheese, a little gum copal, some putrified salt with some essence of opal ..."

Abstract:
"John Bull, a 'cit' wearing (unfastened) shirt and breeches, stands in a bare room near a miserable truckle bed, furiously waving wig and a night-cap inscribed 'Patent', towards objects representing malt, tea, tobacco, and coffee. He has flung at them his hat, coat, waistcoat, and shoes, and they totter backwards under the impact (right). All are demanding "More Wages," except malt, which asks for "More Profit." John shouts: "More Wages, you Scoundrels! will you never be satisfied! have'nt I given you House and increased your wages at different Tunes for Years past, and now you want more! But I'll dispense with ye all, so out of my House, ye pampered Knaves! you have pretty near stript me, theres my wig among ye! I'll put on this patent Narcotic Night cap and sleep till you have come to your senses again, so take yourself off to your advisers! Off with you! off!!!" The objects are constructed of utensils, &c., as in British Museum Satires No. 11822, &c.; they are closely grouped and delicately poised; they totter towards the open door (right). Tea is built up on sugar-tongs for legs, supporting two cups and saucers on which is a tea-caddy; on this rests a large kettle, spouting steam, and itself supporting a pile of sugar-bowl, tea-pot (from which spouts liquid inscribed 'More Wages'), cream-jug, and spoons. A solid cask of 'Home Brewed' is supported on long-stemmed glasses for legs; on it is a tankard of 'No Mans Entire' from which issues froth inscribed 'More Profit'. This is flanked by two bunches of barley. Two long tobacco-pipes, one broken, are legs supporting a canister of 'Best Virginia'; on this is a triangular spittoon, supporting a guttering candle-end in a flat candle-stick; the smoke from this is inscribed 'More Wages'. Nearest the door (right) two spoons support two coffee-cups and saucers on which is a coffee-mill, supporting a milk-jug from which a coffee-pot is falling, spouting 'More Wages'. On the bare floor (left) near a pitcher of 'Water' is an open book, 'The Life of Comoro', with a portrait head."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The Regent, in tight and dandified admiral's full-dress uniform, wearing a cocked hat, is carried by two bathing women (cf. British Museum Satires no. 8432) from a bathing-machine (right) to the barge 'Royal George', for transit to the royal yacht. Just behind is the machine, inscribed 'The Best Machines in Brighton'; from it two naked girls look towards the departing prince. A sailor standing in the barge, which flies the Royal Standard, seizes the Regent's ankles; one foot is gouty and swollen; he says to the man standing behind him (left): "My eyes jack this here craft will never carry him--we should bring the sheers and reeve a tackle for him in the long boat--!!" A naval officer stands beside the sailor, and shouts an order to the man behind: "shove the Barge further a stern & be d--d to you--what you about a head there." The Regent has an arm round the neck of each woman and grasps the plump breast of the nearer one who is comely. He says: "Do my dear Girls put me on board safe, I shall Tell Paget to give you some Grog--I have been almost suffocated in that infernal Bathing Machine--mind my foot." One bathing-woman says: "Faith he's no joke Judy the devil a heavier Burthen in all the country"; her comelier companion answers: "By my own soul I'd rather carry such a nice neat beautiful young Gentleman, than the best basket of mackerel that ever was at Billingsgate." The sailor on the left uses a pole to manipulate the barge, the bow of which is cut off by the left margin. He wears a tight blue jacket to the (pinched) waist, with red collar and cuffs, white trousers, and top-hat with a badge: 'Royal George'. With a grimace he says: "D--n these soldiers jackets I can't move in em--I suppose we shall all be lobsters by & bye!!" Behind (right) are the chalk cliffs of Brighton, with tiny figures waving their hats; one woman is seated on a donkey holding up a parasol."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Two adjacent designs. [1] The Regent tipsily bestrides a fat and ugly cook, who is on her hands and knees; he flourishes a bottle of 'Royal Max' [gin] and a glass and shouts: "Ha! ha! D--me! this is glorious! this is Princely!!--better fun than the Hertford Hobby [see British Museum Satires No. 13213]--Kitchen stuff & Dishclouts for ever I say D--me!!--If the rascals caricature me, I'll buy em All up d--me." The cook, still holding the broken dish from which a huge cod's head has fallen, exclaims: "Oh! Master do let me alone & see! you've thrown the Cods head & Shoulders all in the dirt!" In the background, Lady Hertford, wearing a coronet, looks angrily from a doorway. On the floor in the foreground are a 'Royal Greas Pot', rolling-pin, and a ladle, with a playbill: 'Brighton--under the Pub [Patr]onage of [the Princ]e Regent--High Life below Stairs Principle Character--G P R'. See British Museum Satires No. 13208, &c. [2] The Duke of York, very erect, rides a velocipede (see British Museum Satires No. 13399) in profile to the right, with Mrs. Carey behind him in a little seat over the back wheel, her hands on his shoulders. He wears Windsor uniform of military cut, with breeches, spurred top-boots, and a top-hat, which he raises. Across the pole hangs a fat purse inscribed '10,000 pr annm Custos [Personae Regis]' which serves as saddle. He says: "I say Carey: this Windsor job, is a devilish snug concern & this saddle bag makes it very pleasant riding!--I wish our army had been mounted on these Hobby's in Flanders;--I don't mean Waterloo--" She answers: "I know what you mean;--but it is a good joke, to think while the Establishment of the Father is redud at Windsor: the sons Establist is increas'd at Fulham--tis properly coming York over John Bull." In the background John Bull, a sturdy fellow, stands with folded arms outside a miserable thatched hut where women and children are crouching. He says fiercely: "£10,000 a year for a son to do his duty to his Father!!!!!! whilst my Children are starving!!!--"Fie out! O Fie 'tis an unweeded garden that grows to seed things rank & gross in nature posess it merely." ['Hamlet', I. ii.]."--British Museum online catalogue

"A scene between decks. Sailors, seated on sea-chests, or a coil of rope, smoke, drink, and talk. One, who holds a punchbowl, says: "When I took Peg Block in tow, Splinter my Mizzen ifI wan't fool enough to swear by my Honor, to stick to her as long as she had a plank left, or I'd given her turnips before now, but if a man forfeits his Honor, de' ye mind me he's not worth a fiddler's D--n." A man beside hirn says: "Why now de' see Jack, as how this heres my way of thinking when a man takes a girl under his protection, she should be all as one of a piece of his self, and she should share his last farthing." A third says: "Why what now de' See 's the use of all this here sort of stuff? about Honor and all that there: if a man's a man he'l allways do whats right, and if he is no Man, my Eyes and limbs throw him overboard, that there's my way o thinking D-ne." The fourth: "Why that there's what I was a saying to that there Yorkshireman, you know who I mean? Tom Starboards messmate, they call him Isaac Scarlet; -the Da-n'd lubber took poor Ann under his protection as he call'd it, and made the poor creature pawn her Necklace, and all them there things to get him grogg and such like D-n such sort of Honor!!"

Abstract:
"Birmingham brass-founders have cast a large brazen head, representing Sir Charles Wolseley, and are about to place it upon a full-dressed effigy without a head, which two men hold erect under a tripod. Two workmen carry the head from a furnace (left) towards the tripod; a third who stands behind says: "Say what they will of our Member they can't say he wants Head!!" One of the pair, who strain under the weight, answers: "No or that he is light headed!" The other adds: "Faith they'll soon find that out if they should come to logerheads." The (normal-sized) body is under the tripod from which hang ropes by which the head is to be hoisted into position. One of the men holding the ropes looks round to ask: "Have you put Brass enough in the [head] he'll soon be put out of countenance if you have 'nt." Two of the others say: "We are the Body and shanks when they are wanted you know!" and "Now Lads up with it! never mind a little mistake in proportion--it's a Head we want!" Behind them (left) is a furnace. From the right workmen hurry forward, one carrying two large cans of beer; one of them shouts: "Here is the liquor and the Parson, so make haste that we may Christen him." On the left lie the moulds in which the head and limbs have been cast. Tools and tankards are also on the ground. Through an opening in the wall behind the men are seen smoking kilns."--British Museum online catalogue

A bare-legged chimneysweeper follows, his brush tied to the back of his machine. A lean barber and a grotesquely fat butcher follow, with a man in a smock.
