"Three revellers sit at a small round table on which is a large punch-bowl, each holding a full glass. A fat man in an arm-chair (right), full-face, each gouty bandaged leg supported on a stool, his left hand bandaged, and wearing a dressing-gown, with jovially contorted features, declaims the first part of the title. His neighbour, a young woman with her hand clasping her waist, declaims the second part. A wretched invalid (left), with stick-like limbs, looking on the verge of the grave, repeats the last part. The words, inscribed in scrolls, form the only title. They are the words of an old catch which continues: 'And is by all agreed the very best of physic' A patterned carpet, and cast shadows on a plain wall, complete the design."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Sheridan stands on the stage dressed as Pizarro (played by Barrymore), gloating over guineas with which his helmet is filled. On the right is a flat consisting of a palm-tree with golden fruit, on the left columns wreathed with roses and decorated with theatrical emblems: tragic masks and spirals of cupids who blow Fame's trumpet, each holding a placard: 'Oracle Puff p ..'; 'Morning Chronicle Puff Puff Puff'; 'Morning Herald Puff' [&c, &c]; 'Courier' [&c, &c, cf. BMSat 9194]; 'Times' [&c, &c.]. In the background is mountain scenery with the mouth of the cave. Below the title: "Honor?

"Caricature portrait of John Penn (1760-1834), miscellaneous writer and grandson of the founder of Pennsylvania. He stands in profile to the left, his feet splayed out, wearing a round hat, gloves, wrinkled Jean de Bry coat (see BMSat 9425), pantaloons tied above the ankles, and heelless slippers with spike toes. In his left hand is a cane. He has a vacant expression with gaping, fish-like mouth and receding chin. A flagged pavement, brick wall, and cast shadows form a background. The title continues: '- NB; This Title has no affinity to Pen, as connected with the Goose-Quill; nor has it any allusion to Penguin, a stupid creature between a Fish & a Fowl; - the word is simply derived from Pen, as the Instrument used to express the deep researches of the mind; see the St James's Street chitchat - respecting a Keen Pen; - a Witty Pen; - & a Pen, often Cut, but never mended.'"--British Museum online catalogue.

"Emblematical title-page to a set of prints on the Opposition. A fire burns on an altar of quasi-classical shape, on which is the title; apes' heads take the place of rams' heads, and a garland of laurel is bound with tricolour ribbon. At the base of the altar lies a cornucopia in the form of a bonnet-rouge transformed into a fool's cap terminating in a bell (cf. BMSat 8644). From it pour emblems of gods and goddesses: Thunderbolts tied with tricolour, an owl, grapes, caduceus, bow and arrows, hammer and pincers, trident, lyre, club, two doves on a shield with the head of Medusa. The arc of a pilastered wall forms a background."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A bust portrait of Tandy (1740-1803) looking to the left. He wears the double-breasted, high-collared coat of a French officer, with epaulettes. He looks a sick man, his (white) hair is short and unkempt, his face deeply seamed; his drooping, bulbous nose and look of melancholy wariness give an impression of caricature, but the characterization appears to be excellent, cf. a portrait engraved by Heath after J. Petrie, published 1815."--British Museum online catalogue.

"George Walpole stands defiantly, head in profile to the right, feet splayed awkwardly. He wears Roman armour with medieval greaves and a huge sabre; in his left hand is a large oval shield, in his right he supports a vertical tilting-lance, the head of which is cut off by the upper margin. His fantastic helmet is partly a cocked hat with a tricolour cockade; on it crouches a simian demon with webbed wings and long barbed tail, wearing a cap like the cornucopia of BMSat 9374, and spitting fire.
