"One of the Directory, stripped to the waist, is chained by the wrists to a post inscribed 'Tree of Liberty' and surmounted by a bonnet-rouge (cf. BMSat 9214, &c). Suvóroff holds him by the hair and ferociously raises a whip to strike. He wears a fur-bordered cap (with skull and cross-bones as in BMSat 9387), tunic, cloak, and boots, and says: "This is the new Dance a la Carmagnole!" The other four Directors (see BMSat 9387), full-face, but looking sideways in horror at the Russian, wait their turn; one (left) kneels in supplication. They wear their official dress (see BMSat 9199); the cloak and hat of the victim are on the ground."--British Museum online catalogue

"A sequence of disasters: a servant (left), entering with a joint of meat, is tripped up by a dog, falls forward, bringing his dish down heavily on the head of one diner. The latter falls backwards, grabbing the table, which tilts and, together with a plate of soup, strikes his 'vis-à-vis' under the chin. The contents of a large tureen deluge the falling man. A second servant (right) runs forward with uplifted arms. Two lighted candles fall with the table."--British Museum catalogue

"Fashionable town loungers (cf. British Museum Satires No. 8377, &c), badly damaged in dress and limb, walk on a broad pavement. In the foreground are five figures, three in back view; all have one arm in a sling, two have a leg supported at the knee, two have bandaged eyes. Their coats and hats are riddled with holes and rents. The man on the extreme right is Skeffington, copied in reverse from British Museum Satires No. 9440, but wearing a large cocked hat. He looks round at Penn, copied in reverse from British Museum Satires No. 9441. From Penn's pocket issues a paper: '[word illegible] for Boxing'. Under the foot of the man on the extreme left, who is gazing at a lady through an eye-glass, is a paper: 'Leakes Pills' (absent in British Museum Satires No. 9447 a). Next him is Lord Kirkcudbright. Behind are other members of the 'Battalion', freely sketched and similarly damaged."--British Museum online catalogue
