"The representatives of four Powers are grouped along the nearer side of a long table covered with a heavy fringed cloth. On the left a Hollander sits on a high three-legged stool, smoking, and looking up at a Spanish don who sits on the table holding a guitar. On his stool is a map of the 'Cape of Go[od] Hope]'. From his bulky breeches pocket project (left) a pipe and tobacco-box, (right) a rolled 'Map of Ceylon'. The three bars which connect the legs of the stool are inscribed respectively: 'Spain', 'France', 'Holland'. Behind him are two small casks. He says: "You may as well let John Bull enjoy his Dream and go on with your Duett and I'll fill another pipe - ca Ira". He wears a bonnet-rouge. Spain answers: "A ha I see this is a Jostling Match between them by St Jago I'll at Malbroke again." France stands in back view, holding a violin and flourishing his bow: he looks to the left, singing,"Monsr de Malbroke est mort - Eh Vel, Vat now Objections encore - est meme est enterrée" Propped up on the table is his music-book with the words 'Malbrook s'en . . .' . [For the vogue of the song, both before the Revolution and under Napoleon, see de Vinck, i. 384-8.] Lord Malmesbury sits (right) in profile to the right in an arm-chair, asleep. He dreams: 'Lord Mac | [Malmesbury was accompanied by Lord Granville Leveson Gower (who returned to England, arriving 15 Aug.), Lord Morpeth, and Lord Pembroke. One of them is presumably 'Lord Mac'.] has got back | And all his trouble's ended | But I fear | I shall stay here, | Till all the Wine's expended'. He wears a ribbon and star. Two empty wine-bottles lie on the ground beside him. On the table is a decanter of 'Malms[ey]', while France has one of 'Cham-pa[gne]'. On the wall hangs a plan of a fort inscribed 'Lisle'. The words of Spain relate to two men who jostle each other in a doorway (left): an Englishman holds many bundles of papers under his left arm which have become entangled with a still larger bundle under the right arm of a Frenchman. Both bundles are docketed 'Objections ...'. The sturdy Englishman in riding-dress wears at his button-hole the greyhound of a King's Messenger. The lanky Frenchman, who wears a bonnet-rouge over hair in curling-papers, says: "O by Gar Jack Anglois you vil squeze my gob out vid your great bundle of Objections." The other answers: "Why you French foutre I think your own bundle is most likely to do it You have a rare lot of them, make way d'ye hear."--British Museum online catalogue

"George III walks in back view with an awkward shuffle, his head turned in profile to the left to greet a tall general who bows. On the right another officer waits, hat in hand, for recognition. They are Lord Cathcart (1755-1843), then major-general, see BMSat 9564, and General David Dundas (under whom Cathcart had served in Holland in 1794-5), see BMSat 9026. Above the King's head is a scroll: 'Medio tutissimus ibis'. A semicircle of loyal and provincial subjects, chiefly ladies, stretches across the design, facing the King. In the foreground on the extreme left and right are an officer in back view and a (caricatured) elderly man in top-boots."--British Museum online catalogue

"Tierney (not caricatured) stands directed to the right, with left hand raised in reproof to the knife-grinder (right), who pushes his barrow with a shuffling gait. The latter's hat, coat, and breeches are torn and he has a fixed, insinuating grin. Behind him is the door of an alehouse, the sign of the Chequers hanging from a beam inscribed 'Best Brown Stout'. On the lintel is 'Dealer in Brandy Rum & Gin'. Tierney has short hair, wears a round hat, double-breasted coat, and half-boots, and holds a stick. Behind him a street recedes diagonally to the right, the nearest house inscribed 'Tierney & Liberty'. In front of this is a coach with an earl's coronet, and two footmen standing behind; a horseman advances towards it from the right. Beneath the title is etched in two columns the well-known parody of Southey by Frere and Canning published in the second number of the 'Anti-Jacobin' (27 Nov.). ..."--British Museum online catalogue
