"The head of Napoleon in profile to the left, is held high on a pitchfork by John Bull, whose head and shoulders only are visible. He is a volunteer, an armed yokel, his loose hair and check neckcloth going ill with his military coat and epaulets. He wears a three-cornered hat turned up with a favour inscribed 'Britons strike home', and with a bunch of oak-leaves. A background of similar heads, fat and smiling, recedes in perspective : a crowd holding up their bayoneted muskets and looking up at the bleeding head; some wave their hats. They have a Union flag. John says: "Ha! my little Boney! - what do'st think of Johnny Bull now? - Plunder Old England! hayy? - ravish all our Wives & Daughters! hay - O Lord help that silly Head! - to think that Johnny Bull would ever suffer those Lanthorn Jaws to become King of Old England's Roast-Beef & Plumpudding!"

"George III (left), as a huntsman, stands beside his white (Hanoverian) horse, holding up to a pack of hounds a fox with the head of Napoleon. He is in 'profil perdu', and grips the frantic animal by the neck. On the right are the hounds, eager for the kill; others swim across a stream on the farther side of which members of the hunt are galloping up, tiny figures led by Pitt, who echoes "Tally ho" to the King's "Tally-ho! - Tally-ho! - ho! - ho!- ho!" The King stands under a gnarled oak. The leading dogs have collars inscribed 'St Vincent', 'Nelson', '[Admiral William] Cornwall[is]', 'Sydney S[mith]', 'Gardner' (indicating the predominance of the Navy in the defence of Great Britain, cf. BMSat 10065). The leadership of the hunt by Pitt is also significant, cf. BMSat 9978."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Napoleon sits on the shoulder of Talleyrand gleefully peering through a large rolled document at the Channel, where the French flotilla is being destroyed by shells from British ships. Talleyrand stands behind the gun embrasures of a fortress on a cliff at whose base the gunboats are foundering. He wears a general's uniform with a long cloak; the crown of his cocked hat is a bishop's mitre. He holds Bonaparte's legs, grinning delightedly. Napoleon's document is 'Talleyrand's plan for Invading Great Britain'; he says: "O my dear Talley, what a glorious sight! - we've worked up Johnny Bull into a fine passion! - my good fortune never leaves me! - I shall now get rid of a hundred- Thousand French Cut Throats whom I was so afraid of! - O my dear Talley, this beats the Egyptian Poisoning hollow! - Bravo, Johnny! - pepper 'em, Johnny!" On a flag (l.) behind the pair are a skull and cross-bones, the skull looking down with a sinister stare. On the horizon is the English coast, with Dover Castle on a cliff."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A crowded scene, the amateurs of the Pic Nic Society are dressing and rehearsing. The design may derive from Hogarth's 'Actresses dressing in a Barn' (BMSat 2403), Gillray stressing the contrast between his luxurious mise-en-scène and the squalor of Hogarth's players. The centre figure is Lady Buckinghamshire, enormous, florid, and gorgeous, her skirts outspread, standing before a dressing-table, touching one of many patches on her face and holding her part, that of 'Roxana' [in Lee's tragedy, 'The Rival Queens; or the Death of Alexander the Great']. Under her dressing-table is a square bottle of 'Usquebaugh' and a glass. On Roxana's l., with her back to the dressing-table, sits Lady Salisbury, her legs crossed and much exposed, pulling on a laced boot. Her neck is swathed with a spotted cravat as in BMSat 9908. Near her on the floor are the second boot, a pair of breeches, and her part: 'the Part of Squire Groom to be per[formed], by [Lady Salisbu]ry'. She gazes at the huge Lord Cholmondeley who stands in profile to the left., dominating the left. of the design. He is dressed as Cupid; a tunic covered with a design of ring-doves, hearts, arrows, and cross a torches defines a vast paunch across which is a tricolour ribbon inscribed 'Amor Vincit Omnia'. He has butterfly wings, massive quiver filled with heavy arrows, and holds an arrow in his left hand. He stands impassively, his head wreathed with flowers. In the foreground, in front of Cholmondeley stands the tiny Lord Mount Edgcumbe in a swaggering attitude, studying his part: 'Alexander the Great', as in BMSat 9916. He wears armour, with a swathed cravat and vandyked ruff, and a helmet on which is a dragon spitting fire. Facing Cholmondeley and immediately behind Lady Salisbury is little Lord Derby blowing a French horn. Behind is a group of musicians: Lord Carlisle (l.) blows the bassoon with a melancholy expression, facing Lord Salisbury who pompously plays a small fiddle. Between them is Col. Greville or Lord Abercorn playing the triangle. ..."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Addington (right) bleeds John Bull, who sits on a commode, exhausted and faint, supported by Hawkesbury. Addington, very erect, wears his gown, and says: "Courage John Bull - Courage!!!" Hawkesbury, drooping and melancholy, repeats "Courage Johnny." John's arm is tightly bound above the incision by a tricolour bandage, a tricolour ribbon is tied round his tousled head. A diminutive Napoleon (right) with a martial stride and drawn sabre holds out his cocked hat to catch the blood that spurts from John's arm; this is inscribed: 'West Indies', 'Cape of Good Hope', 'Malta' [in large letters, see BMSat 9997, &c], 'Ceylon'. A little boy, standing behind Addington and clutching his gown, holds out his hat, inscribed 'Clerk [of the] Pells', to catch a stream of blood inscribed '£3,000 Pr Annum'; he echoes 'Courage'. On the left stand Fox and Sheridan proffering bowls of 'Warm Water'; both say "Courage". Fox has swollen legs and holds a tea-kettle, his expression is that of calculating reserve; Sheridan bends forward with eager greed. John is a countryman wearing wrinkled gaiters. His commode is inscribed 'Reservoir for the Clyster-pipe Family' [the Addingtons]. Beside him lie his (damaged) hat and stick, with a torn paper: 'Rule Britannia an old Song'."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Addington, chapeau-bras, squats in profile to the left over a cocked hat into which he evacuates papers: 'Guadeloupe', 'Martinique', 'St Domingo', 'Cape of Good Hope', 'Egypt', and (the last) 'Malta'. Napoleon (left), very small and thin, holds him by the cravat and threatens him with a sabre, saying, "All! - all! - you Jean F-t-e! - think yourself well off that I leave you Great Britain!!!" Addington, terrified, says: "Pray do not insist upon Malta! - I shall certainly be turned out! and I have got a great many Cousins and Uncles & Aunts, to provide for, yet!" A French officer in uniform, (?) Andréossi, holds out his cocked hat to catch the papers which fall from Addington. He says, holding his nose: "My General, you had better not get him turn'd out - for we shall not be able to humbug them any more." Napoleon wears a huge cocked hat with tricolour plume and a tricolour sash with immense spurs on his Hessian boots."--British Museum online catalogue.
