- Abstract:
- " Eight designs border on left and right, a centre of designs relating to Brougham. Five others make a border along the lower edge. In the centre is 'The Penny Trumpeter' copied from BM Satires No. 17258, with the word 'Monopoly' inscribed on Brougham's sack. The background to the figure is the façade of the University of London (see BM Satires No. 14788, &c). Two brooms flank this design; on each stands a figure of Brougham; on one (left) he is the schoolmaster 'At Home', holding a cane (see BM Satires No. 17187), on the other, dressed as a broom-girl (as in BM Satires No. 14769), he is the schoolmaster 'Abroad' (see BM Satires No. 15535). Above is the 'Woolsack', resting on Brougham's motto 'Pro Grege Lege Rege', and supporting a broom. Above this, Brougham as an old witch sits on a broom, 'Diffusing Knowledge', i.e. scattering pamphlets. Above is the bewigged head of Brougham supported on a birch-rod, or 'Rod of Equity', surmounted by a motto on a scroll: 'The March Of Intellect'. Below "The Penny Trumpeter" are emblems of oppression: a prison inscribed 'County Goal'; heavy fetters with inscriptions: 'Liberty of the Press'; 'Passive Obediance'; 'The Poor Mans Guardian' [Hetherington's unstamped paper, begun July 1831].. Designs on the left and right: [1] 'Astronomy', Brougham's profile in a crescent moon gaping at the 'Penny Mag.' and surrounded by clouds and little men whose heads are stars. [2] 'Natural History', a London drover intent on the 'Penny Mag' while two bulls toss a woman and trample on a man. [3] 'Botany', a gardener with a watering-can reading the 'Mag', tramples on a frame and on flowers. [4] 'Mathematics', a learned pig in wig and gown teaches little pigs to select cards and tell the time. [5] 'Geography, also the use of the Globes', three schoolboys, each reading the 'Penny Mag', sit or sprawl on (scholastic) globes. [6] 'Navigation', a Thames waterman reading the 'Penny Mag' runs down another wherry. [7] 'Agriculture', a ploughman, reading, trudges into a marsh, his plough and horses neglected in the background. [8] 'Mineralogy', a coal-cart man, reading the 'Mag', empties his sack down the area instead of the coal-hole. His mate shouts 'Hollo Bill vere ar you Shooting them ere Coals to'. The designs along the lower margin: [9] 'Geology, or the Formation of the Earth', a quarryman, reclining to read the 'Mag' and having used his pick at random, falls through space on the rock he has detached from a cliff-edge. [10] 'Divinity', a little chimney-sweep, seated on the top of a chimney, intently reading the 'Penny Mag' ("Clergyman" was a slang term for chimney-sweep, see BM Satires No. 14381). [11] 'Philosophy', a lean and ragged man with empty pockets leans against the wall in driving rain, reading, beside an 'Eating House' window filled with joints of meat. [12] 'Physics', an apothecary's boy with a basket of medicines running along the pavement and reading the 'Mag', steps into an open cellar. [13] 'Literature', one sailor reads the 'Penny Mag' to four others who listen intently."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- Fourth page of a monthly magazine that consisted of four pages; included on this page are five individually-titled images, "MADRID, - A FALSE ALARM (British Museum Satires No. 17269): Ferdinand VII lies on his back in bed, his crown and a huge pot of 'Holy Water' beside him. He calls 'Quick! fetch the Holy Petticoat I once embroidered. St. Peter will sure admit me in that disguise'. Behind his bed-curtains a procession hurries forward, headed by a friar holding two huge candles. An acolyte swinging a censer walks before a bishop in his robes who holds up an embroidered petticoat hanging from a cross. Behind is another bishop. (Ferdinand VII's death was expected and had been reported. He recovered and died on 29 Sept. 1833. For the petticoat, reputedly embroidered for the Virgin during his internment at Valençay, see British Museum satires no. 12508, &c.)."--British Museum online catalogue, "DIETING IN GERMANY. (British Museum satires no. 17270) 'Liberty' is represented by the flames coming from big candle-ends placed on the ground; Francis I and Nicholas (out of place in the German Diet) are putting huge extinguishers over them. Five of the candles are 'Franckfort, Hesse-Cassel, Brandenburg, Hanover, Baden'. The Tsar: 'Extinguish it in one place it blazes in another'. He is back to back with the senile Francis who puts his extinguisher over 'Brandenburg', saying, 'Why the extinguisher itself appears to be igniting'. (See British Museum satires no. 17212, &c. Revolutionary movements in Europe, cf. No. 16535, had in fact been suppressed or had subsided. For the extinguisher cf. Nos. 12588, 14145.)."--British Museum online catalogue, "DUTCHMEN BLOCKING UP THE NAVIGATION OF THE SCHELDT. (British Museum satires no. 17271) A row of fat Dutchmen sit on the water, buoyed up by bulky and inflated breeches. All are smoking long pipes; one says 'Yau Mynheer'. Behind them are small ships. Two frogs watch from a bank in the foreground. (The obstinacy of the King of Holland in claiming control over the navigation of the Scheldt, including the right of preventing ships from passing to or from the high seas, was a main obstacle in the settlement of the Dutch-Belgian question. Camb. Hist, of Br. Foreign Policy, ii. 146 ff. See British Museum satires no. 17295, &c. Van Stolk, no. 7170. )."--British Museum online catalogue, "PORTUGAL (British Museum satires no. 17272) An ugly infant, Queen Maria (left), and a crowned ape, Miguel, face each other across a chasm. On the plain below and between them scattered forces are fighting. The child, who has dropped her coral and bells, holds out her arms, screaming 'Ah you've got my crown! I will have my crown'. The ape, who presses a foot on human bones, grimaces savagely. Below each protagonist is a supporter. A man waving a cocked hat shouts 'Fight for your illustrious Queen'. A monk holds up both arms, shouting 'Fight for your August King!!' Below the title: '"Oh its a mighty pretty Quarrel" (Sir Lucius O'Trigger)' [Sheridan, The Rivals]. (For the civil war in Portugal see British Museum satires no. 17179, &c.)."--British Museum online catalogue, and "PERFECTS AND IMPERFECTS, OR DREADFUL TIMES. (British Museum satires no. 17273) 'The Times' newspaper is represented by a man whose body from neck to hips is covered by a sheet of 'The Times'; across the columns of the paper are the words: 'Horrible! \ Dreadful!! \ Frightful!! \ Mare's Nest \ discovered near \ Hammersmith'. The square head, with fierce angular features and a pen stuck in it, is seemingly an ink-pot. The limbs are those of a vigorous man, who lunges fiercely with outstretched arms, holding a huge ink-ball in each hand. With one he knocks backward and blackens the face of an elderly man dressed like the Duke of Cumberland who watches from the left. 'The Times': 'I should not have known how to make any thing of the Duke's apology; because a short-sighted man might ride nearer than he intended, and seeing people so much more frightened than hurt, might possibly smile:--But you I have at my mercy. Where's the mustachoes Sir? Where's the mustachoes?--There, Sir-- there, have you any mind for another dose'. Cumberland, stooping aggressively, exclaims: 'Oh! you officious blockhead, you will get freely belaboured for your pains'. A young lady, who watches mincingly from the right, cries, 'Oh! I am quite positive as to the mustachoes!!'."--British Museum online catalogue
