Abstract:
"Four men wearing aprons and other Masonic insignia initiate a burly pugnacious sailor who kneels on a cushion in profile to the right. Two lighted candles in tall candlesticks are on the ground behind him. On the extreme right. a man heats a poker in a brazier. On the extreme left. a Mason reads from a book: "Be it known to all men present that Benjamin Block of the Parish of St Catherines, - having a desire to become a member of the ancient Fraternity of Masons, hitherto comply'd with the usual ceremonies - Viz - having his Shirt-flaps cut and marked with divers mysteries, signs, and tangents - it now only remains - to fix on the bandage - and prepare the red hot poker, [for which purposes the proper Officers, are now attending) and the initiation is complete." An elderly man wearing a large old-fashioned wig faces the sailor, holding a cloth. The sailor's striped trousers are pulled down, his (slit) shirt is pulled over them, leaving a bare thigh. On the shirt are scrawled a sun, star, crescent, compasses, &c. On the ground are scissors and a hammer. The sailor clenches his fists and scowls up at his vis-à-vis, saying: "Harke'e Mr Wigsby - mind what I say, I have consented to have my main sheets cut and hack'd about, in a pretty stile, and Poll will swear enough about that, when she comes to over-hawl my rigging - but D------n me, if you offer to blindfold me, or to heave in sight one of your red hot pokers - may I never weigh anchor again - If I dont upset every Man-Jack of you. - " The fourth Mason, standing behind the sailor, laughs heartily."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"The centre of the system is a circle ..., enclosing 'Iohn Bull', a fat 'cit' smoking a long pipe; with frothing jug, glass, and 'Extraordinary Gazette' on a table, and his dog beside him. The circle is enclosed with a band inscribed: 'God the King - Old Englands Wooden Walls. - Britons Strike Home - Britannia Rule the Waves - '. Outside this is a circle of ships at sea inscribed: 'British Navy', repeated seven times, with two stars at each interval. These are John's 'Satelites'. This outer circle is irradiated, but is surrounded with heavy clouds and 'malignant aspects', the chief being a comet with the head and shoulders of Napoleon, in back view, shooting upwards and from the right: 'A Corsican Comet Frenchified'. On its left, seated on a cloud and linked to Napoleon by a chain, is a 'Russian Bear with two heads, an appendage to the Comet.' On Napoleon's right a frog sits on a cloud smoking a pipe: 'Dutch Frog'. Nearly opposite the centre of the circle are (left) a 'Danish Mouse' and (right) a 'Spanish Puff' or fungus. Above these are (left) an 'Italian Greyhound' and (right) 'Swiss Cheese'. All these are poised on clouds. Above the circle stars are scattered inscribed (left and right) 'Minor Constellations with malignant Aspects'. Between these, and opposite the comet, a scaly creature with a tail and small wings spits venom at the 'British Navy' from a wide mouth edged with large teeth; this is 'American Torpedo' [the torpedo being a ray-fish which discharges electricity]."--British Museum online catalogue
