"A fortune-teller seated in his room receives a visit from Miss Farren (right) who sits facing him in profile to the left. She is fashionably dressed, wearing a high ribbon-trimmed hat, and a cloak bordered with fur; her hands are in a large muff. She says, "The woman at the Green Rails in Store Street gives me no hopes of a coronet, I wish to know your opinion, venerable Sage." The sage, seated in a high-backed arm-chair, a gouty leg supported on a stool, wearing a nightcap and fur-bordered robe, peers through spectacles at a book whose pages are covered with symbols. Beside him is a table on which are a telescope, celestial globe, ink-stand, compass, and hour-glass. From under the table-cloth a skull seems to peer up at the lady. The room is crowded with the wizard's stock-in-trade: an alligator hangs from the ceiling above a number of monstrosities in bottles; there is a diminutive skeleton and also another telescope and globe; there are books inscribed: 'Aspects of the Planets' and 'Astrol[ogy]'; papers inscribed: 'Table of the Orbs, and Planets'; 'the Twelve signs of the Zodiac'; 'Prediction of future Events'. Against the wall are a clock, a barometer and thermometer, an astronomical diagram, shelves containing folio volumes partly concealed by a curtain. On the ground behind the visitor is (?) a magic lantern."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A bull, chained, muzzled, and blindfolded, his horns tipped, but snorting fire, is baited by dogs urged on by Pitt who runs forward (right), holding heavy chains labelled 'New Excise Fetters for John Bull'. Pitt points at the bull, shouting, "At him! at him! Tally-ho, ho, ho." From his pocket hangs a paper inscribed 'New Excises intended upon Cyder, Flour, Hardware, Linnens, Woolens, Coals, Butchers Bakers Cheese-mo[ngers] Fish, Water'. Pitt and his dogs are hurrying from the Treasury, over the gate of which the word Treasury has been scored through by Rose, who stands on a ladder on the extreme right, painting the word 'Excise-Office' in large letters. A rose takes the place of his head; in his left hand is his paint-pot inscribed 'Kings' Yellow'. The bull's legs are chained to a post inscribed 'Excise'; he is snorting "Liberty! Liberty! and no Excise! Huzza!" The dogs have human heads and inscribed collars. The two foremost are 'Billy Grenv[ille]', with a pen behind his ear, and 'Dundas'. The Duke of Richmond ('Ordnance') is on the bull's back, biting his ear. Behind are 'Jenky' (Lord Hawkesbury), 'Sir Pepper' (Arden), 'Sydney, Cam' (Camden), and a dog perhaps intended for Carmarthen. In the foreground, lying on a heap of Tobacco which has fallen from a cask so inscribed (which he befouls), is Thurlow, a dog with the head and wig of Thurlow, his collar inscribed 'Snap Dragon', fiercely gnawing a large bone inscribed 'Opposition' at one end and 'Ministry' at the other, while he glares up at Pitt."--British Museum online catalogue.

A vicious satire on the life and works of Philip Thicknesse, writer and soldier, dedicated to a number of Thicknesse's most prominent enemies: Lord Thurlow, the Earls of Camde, Bute, Bathurst, and Coventry as well as Thicknesse's own sons Baron Audley and Philip Junior. Minerva bursts from Thicknesse's head; on her shield is a damning list of his "Acts of Courage & Wisdom," including running from his command in Jamaica, extorting money, refusing to fight Lord Orwell, debauching his own niece, and horsewhipping his daughter to death.

Dr. Price, seated in a armchair at a writing desk strewn with papers and quill pens, turns his head, a startled look on his face, as he confronts the enormous spectacled face of Edmund Burke peering at him, his long nose resting on the back of Price's chair. Burke holds in his hands a crucifix and crown and balances on his head a copy of his book "Reflections on the revolution in France". Two books lay on the floor-- "Treatise on the ill effects of Order & governance in Society" and "Sermon preached Novr. 4, 1789 ... before the Revolution Society."

"A young woman stands upon a high stool, her skirts raised to show her posteriors to three men (half length) behind her. She bends forward, pointing to Charles Fox who stands with his hands handcuffed in a booth or box behind a bar. Fox has an enormous head and an expression of terrified dismay at the denunciation. Behind him is a man in profile holding a constable's staff. The three men are evidently Bow Street Justices (Sir Sampson Wright, Addington, and Bond); the principal magistrate (Wright) wears a hat and spectacles and is much caricatured (cf. BMSats 6119-21). Above their heads are the evenly balanced scales of Justice. In front of the woman stands a clerk (half length) meditatively biting his pen."--British Museum online catalogue.

"An ogre (left) holds a large knife and fork in each hand; in the left hand he clutches also the petticoats of a young woman, who hangs horizontally, face downwards but raised in profile to the right, screaming with terror. Her legs and posteriors are exposed, but fastened to the latter is a round shallow pot serving as a shield. The Monster has a large head with raised eyebrows and starting eyeballs, his mouth is wide open as if about to bite his captive. His body diminishes in size and terminates in small feet, planted wide apart. Two young women (right) flee from the Monster, looking back and screaming. The petticoats and foot of a third fugitive appear on the extreme right."--British Museum online catalogue.
