Abstract:
"The three members of the Royal family who had recently been given the Freedom of the City as members of the Fishmongers' Company are represented as Billingsgate porters, carrying baskets of fish on their heads, and being kissed by Billingsgate women. All wear flat round hats and aprons. Prince Leopold has a German sausage (cf. British Museum Catalogue No. 12759) projecting from his coat-pocket, and another is in his basket. A comely woman puts her arms round his neck, saying, "My dear Boy you are Welcome to Billinsgate, come give us a buss!! Charlotte wont be angry." He answers: "Stop my Dear I lay down my Sole, and give you bit de german saucage." Two women (left) hurry up from the left, eagerly wiping their mouths on their aprons. They say: "By Goles he's a nice fellow Come do make haste Poll," and "That's right Bet! if you dont look sharp we shant get a taste." The Duke of Sussex, fat and good-natured, is beset by two women, one, an Irishwoman, kisses his mouth. He says: "You Hussey you'll upset my Cod!" She answers: "By the Powers if I care about that my Jewel! I'll have a taste of your Jowl, and a rare Jolly one it is!!" A paper projects from his pocket: 'Freedom of the City of London'. In the middle distance (right) stands the Duke of Gloucester, silent between three women who say: "Now let me have the first an I'll carry your fish; Give me the first and I'll carry you and fish too my heart I'll have such a smack," and "You have a smack indeed I'm the girl for smacking & know the true Gloucester go." A woman sitting by her basket (right) drinking gin says: "you may smack there I'll smack here! so God Bless the Royal Fishmongers." Behind are masts and sails with (right) the colonnade of Billingsgate Market on the quay-side."--British Museum online catalogue

Cartoon shows ministers, among them Vansittart and Castlereagh, vomiting taxes into a large bag labeled "budget." The Prince Regent stands nearby, supported on crutches labeled "more money" and "increase in income", holding rolled documents under his arms labeled with descriptions of some of his extravagant expenses and "On the right is a group of Ministers vomiting taxes. On the left the Regent stands directed to the right, supported on crutches, one inscribed 'More Money', the other 'Increase of Income'. The swathing of his gouty leg is tied above the knee by his 'Garter, inscribed 'Honi . . . Pense'. Under each arm are large rolled documents inscribed 'Expences of Pavillion', 'd° of Thatch'd Cottage', 'D° of Furniture', 'D° of Pall Mall', 'Pulling down Rebuilding &c Pulling down again for New Street!', 'Drinking Expence'. Beside him and on the extreme left is the end of a cloth-covered table on which are balls; one larger than the others is 'Economy', and is labelled: 'This bolus to be taken immediately'. Beside it are four others, all inscribed 'Petition against Property Tax'. The Regent, ill and melancholy, says: "Aye, this comes of your cursed Pill economy which you forced me to take a Month back, no one knows what I have suffered from this Econmical [sic] Spasm; I am afraid we shall all be laid up togather." Six Ministers stand over a low, wide-mouthed sack inscribed 'Budget', the edge of which is held by Vansittart (right), wearing his Chancellor of the Exchequer's gown and a large wig. Facing him, and with his back to the Regent is Castlereagh, his hands on his stomach. These and two others vomit streams inscribed 'Property Tax', 'Economy', 'Standing Armies', 'increase of Salaries', 'Cock Bugs provi[sion]'. The contents of the full sack are similarly inscribed. Another Minister (? Liverpool) stands behind Vansittart, with open mouth and distressed expression."--British Museum online catalogue

Vansittart and Castlereagh, as surgeons, bleeding coins from the arms of John Bull. The coins are collected by Prince Leopold, Princess Charlotte, a tiny McMahon, a Chinese mandarin, and the gouty Regent. Brougham, stands on the left, pointing finger at John Bull, saying, "Retrench! Johnny, Retrench! practise [sic] a little more Economy." and "John Bull sits foursquare in an arm-chair, between two surgeons, his arms extended horizontally and supported by the vertical poles which he clutches; these are spirally striped, like the barber's pole, and are such as were used by practisers of phlebotomy. The one in his right hand is inscribed 'Additional Military Staff to support the Peace'; the other: 'Wellington's Staff'. The surgeon on the left is Vansittart, in his Chancellor of the Exchequer's gown, triumphantly holding up his lancet as guineas spout from the incision in John's right arm. The coin is collected by Prince Leopold in a warming-pan inscribed '60,000 per Ann'. [see British Museum Satires No. 12754] and by Princess Charlotte, who holds out a large receptacle inscribed 'For Wedding Garm[ents] Diamond Trinkets & Baubles'. She looks sideways at the warming-pan; her very décolletée dress has a train, and she wears a small crown or coronet. His military tunic is covered with stars, and he stares intently at the golden shower. Castlereagh, with a cynical smile, operates on the left arm. A tiny McMahon swarms up the pole and holds out his 'Privy Purse', see British Museum Satires No. 11874, to catch a trickle from the wound. The main shower of guineas falls into the enormous jaws of a squatting and grotesque Chinese mandarin (see British Museum Satires No. 12749) whose obese body, in the form of a large bag, is inscribed 'To pay off Arrears of the Civil List'. Over this bag, the biggest of the receptacles depicted, the gouty Regent stoops forward, supported on crutches, his head turned to the left, staring with apprehensive malevolence at Brougham who stands on the extreme left, not caricatured. John Bull, a stout 'cit', wears patched and ragged waistcoat and breeches. His empty pockets are inside out. He registers alarm, and exclaims: "Pray good folks have a little mercy & spare the Vital stream which sustains me!-- Consider what Oceans I have spilt in the late Wars!--I am too much exhausted to Bleed as freely as formerly--You have Open'd so many veins & drain'd me so incessantly that I fear my Constitution is impair'd for ever! My Friends, say that I am Declining fast & will certainly Die of a Galloping Consumption!!!" Two hussars with drawn sabres stand on guard behind his chair, watching the operation with pleased surprise. Behind them, the middle distance and background are filled with soldiers standing at attention with drawn sabres or fixed bayonets, wearing braided tunics and high hussar caps. They have British flags, faintly indicated, one being a Union flag, another the Royal Standard, and a fringed banner inscribed 'Standing Army For the Peace Establishment'. On the right, behind the Regent, the Tsar walks off to the right, looking over his shoulder with a pleased smile; he carries a sack across his shoulder inscribed 'Subsidies Russia'. With him, but less conspicuous, are Francis I and Frederick William; each carries a basket on his head heaped with coins, one 'Subsidies For Austria', the other 'Subsidies for Prussia'. All three wear uniform. Brougham, who wears a long loose coat, with trousers, and holds a top-hat, stands in profile to the right, his right arm extended with admonitory finger pointing at John Bull. He says: "Retrench! Johnny, Retrench!--practise a little more Economy in your present Wretched State, or you'll never Recover!--you have too many Physicians & their constant Employment is very Expensive they will not leave you till they have the last Shilling!--Kick out the Doctors & a fig for the Disease!!" At his feet and in the foreground is a neat box inscribed '37 Styptics [see British Museum Satires No. 12750, &c.] for Curing John Bull's Dreadful Disorder by Brougham & C°.' Near it are the fragments of a broken tub inscribed: 'Property Tax receiver rendered useless by the "ignorant impatience" of John Bull.' In front of John are a jar of 'Leeches' and a book: 'The Red Book or or [sic] a list of Persons Holding Sinecures'. Three tubs heaped with coin stand on the right, each progressively larger in size, inscribed: [1] 'Regency Presents & Yearly Allowance to Bonaparte & the Govenors [sic] Establist at St Helena'; [2] 'To Support the Allied Army in France'; [3] 'Extra Allowance for Commissrs of Dockyards & other fresh-water Agents of the Navy who will on the Peace Establishment of 1816 greatly exceed in expence the War Estabt of 1804 when the British Navy with 140,000 seamen Covered the Ocean.'"--British Museum online catalogue

"Evidently by an amateur. The names of the four Russians who advance from the right in profile are etched below the design. A hugely broad and fat don at the head of a procession of senior, and very ugly, members of the University takes with his left hand the left hand of the 'Duchess of Oldenburgh' who is straight and thin, her head entirely concealed in a huge 'Oldenburgh bonnet', and wearing long hanging sleeves resembling those of the dons' gowns. Behind him (left) is a don holding a (?) Bible. The duchess is followed by two hideous old women, broad and squat, 'Mesds Aladensky & Volochousky' [? the wife of Prince Nikita Volkonsky, A.D.C. to the Tsar]. Behind them walks 'Prince Gagarin', hat in hand, very broad and tall, and heavily whiskered. In the middle distance is a crowd of slim undergraduates, some of whom throw their caps into the air, with a few ladies. Behind is the dome of the Radcliffe Camera with the towers and spires of Oxford."--British Museum online catalogue

"Holiday-making 'cits' drive, ride, and walk (right to left) on a dusty road, in the direction of a sign-post (right) pointing 'To Wimbledon' (left); the opposite arm points (right) to: 'a near Cut to Batter sea'. [An allusion to the retort to a simpleton: 'You must go to Battersea to get your simples cut.' E. C. Brewer, 'Dict, of Phrase and Fable'. Cf. No. 12831.] On the extreme left is the back of a coach, with outside passengers, one with a huge frothing tankard. A fat man trudges between two women, followed by a bloated dog. A 'cit' on a bucking horse follows. Next is a family party: a fat woman carrying an infant, her lean husband holding a bag and a telescope, and dragging a go-cart in which sit four young children, while a chimney-sweep stands on the back of the cart, followed by another hanging to his coat; a child angrily threatens them with a coral and bells. Two meretricious-looking women walk arm-in-arm, closely followed and ogled by two absurd men in extravagant dandy costume, also arm-in-arm. These have enormous bell-trousers as in No. 12840. Driving beside these two groups is John Bull with his wife and four children in a two-wheeled cart drawn by a lean horse, flogged into a gallop. The cart is inscribed 'J.B Tax Cart N° 1816'. Behind him a would-be dandy drives a lady in a gig. In the background is the front of the procession which has turned to the right on to open common, where are tents, a swing, with a large bonfire to which men are dragging a whole tree, just cut down."--British Museum online catalogue

"One of designs in lines and dots, attributed to G. Cruikshank (British Museum Satires Nos. 12955-12958). Tiny figures, composed of lines, one each for trunk and limbs, with small dots for head, hands, and feet, are generally in violent action. Women are denoted by petticoats. Animals and accessories are as a rule more realistically drawn. A sequence of six designs in two rows, divided by intersecting lines, each with a caption, a number showing the cockney's age, and inscription. 'Fishing at 16 for Turbot, & Salmon, in the New River Islington'. He sits on the bank, his line hanging vertically. A sign-post points (left) 'To Sadlers Wells'; behind, St. Paul's dominates houses and spires. Cf. No. 8939. 'Spouting 18 Performing the Part of Romeo before the Cook & Errand Boy in the Kitchen'. He rants to a fat cook and boy. 'Shooting 20 In practising Sparrow Shooting at Hornsey Wounds a Young Porker'. He fires point-blank at a pig beside a cottage; birds fly off. St. Paul's is in the background. 'Hunting 22 at the Easter Hunt, getting on at a Good rate, ....... not at all behind!' His horse leaps a low fence, he flies over its head, not far from the stag. Cf. No. 10813. 'Sporting 30 In Attempting to kill Game Shoots his Faithful Pompey'. He fires at his dog, which rolls on its back, birds fly off. 'Stuffing 40 At a Civic Feast very lucky indeed! hits the Mark every time'. He carves a plum-pudding, a waiter behind his chair holds two bottles. Two other guests are depicted."--British Museum online catalogue
