Abstract:
"A young man (left) takes with his left hand the right hand of a young woman, who bows towards him, holding her limp skirt delicately between finger and thumb. Both wear burlesqued versions of the newest fashions. He wears a striped sleeveless vest or waistcoat made in one piece with a pair of pantaloons which reach below his calves where they are tied with bunches of ribbon. A voluminous swathed neckcloth conceals his chin. His powdered hair is frizzed on his head with a long queue. He holds a round hat and a bludgeon in his right hand. She wears in her hair three extravagantly long ostrich feathers, which rise from a small cap or turban and sweep across the design, with an erect brush-aigrette ; long tresses issue from the turban with the feathers and fall below her waist. Her limp high-waisted dress with short sleeves falls from below uncovered breasts, which are decked with a lattice-work of jewels caught together by an oval miniature (cf. BMSat 8521)."--British Museum online catalogue.

Abstract:
"Two women, one tall and pretty, except for her grotesque slimness, the other short, fat, and ugly, wear burlesqued versions of the new fashions. Each walks, holding a glove in the (gloved) right hand, a nosegay in the left hand. Under each is a supplementary title: (left) 'St James's giving the Ton, a Soul without a Body'; (right) 'Cheapside aping the Mode, a Body without a Soul'. The former has a tiny waist, her breasts, lightly covered, project above it. Round her neck is a swathing connected with inflated puffs on her tight sleeves; her form is defined under the limp skirt. Another swathing seems to fasten a high straw scoop-like hat under her chin which shows her hair piled above her forehead. This is trimmed with an erect ostrich feather and a brush-aigrette. She wears sharply pointed slippers. The contour of the other lady, a 'City Fussock', see BMSat 8905, is broad and squat; she looks up with an ogling grin, her mouth half hidden by the swathing at her neck. Her feather, aigrette, and nosegay are much larger than those of her fashionable model. Fat legs and broad feet show under a petticoat which projects from her short waist."--British Museum online catalogue.

Abstract:
"The Duke of York (left), in regimentals and wearing a cocked hat, stands in profile to the right, tipsily swaggering; he hands to George III two large keys: 'Keys of Paris'. The King, seated on the throne (right) in hunting-dress, leans eagerly forward. The Duke is followed by soldiers bearing (worthless) trophies of victory; he says: "Th-th-th-there's Paris for you, damme! did not I say I'd take it? -th-thats all! - a-a-and here's all the Plunder of France! and all the Heads of the whole nation of Sans Culottes, damme! - if y-y-you will do me any honor, why do it; - if not, why even take the next Paris yourself, damme! - look 'e I expect to be made either a Cæsar or an Alexander! ------, d-d-d-d-damme!' The King, eagerly goggling, says: "What! what! Keys of Paris! Keys of Paris! give us hold! gads bobs, its nothing but, Veni, with you, lad, hay? Veni, Vidi? - ay, ay! Veni, Vidi, Vici! - ay, ay." A tricolour standard inscribed 'Vive la Liberta' lies at the King's feet. Behind the Duke are French weapons, broken: a sword inscribed 'Vive la Lib . .', a cannon similarly inscribed, cannon-balls, a musket, and a pile of decapitated heads wearing bonnets-rouges, on which tramples the Duke's secretary, who holds out a scroll inscribed: 'Authentic Journal - Issuing Manifesto's - Taking Dunkirk [see BMSat 8341] 1500 Barrels of Gunpowder 32 pieces of Cannon, & killing 5000 Troops, - sending off 10000 to the hospitals in Flanders - marching into the heart of France, & finishing the War without expence. Js Suckfizzle Secretary.' The secretary, who wears regimentals, a pen behind his ear, says, "Here's something like a List of glorious Actions! - well, let them that come after us do as much as we have done, and the Campaign will soon come to a conclusion." Behind him, guardsmen advance carrying bulky burdens: bales of 'Assignats', a large basket of sabots inscribed 'Wooden Shoes of the Poissards', a bundle of 'Breeches of the Sans Coulotte[s]', a pot from which frogs are leaping. Pitt sits on the dais at the King's left hand; he writes on papers which he supports on his up-drawn knees: 'Bricks Rum - Brandy Water Air'; 'new Taxes not to be felt by the Swinish Multitude'; 'loan of Eleven Millions.' Behind the throne (right) sits the Queen in profile to the right, gleefully holding out an apron into which the Devil shovels coins from a sack inscribed 'Two Millions Pr Annm'; only his horns, arms, and a hoof appear on the extreme right. Above the Queen's head are shelves on which are ranged large money-bags, inscribed: 'Spy Money 40000 pr A'; 'for Flatterers & Toad-eaters [cf. BMSat 7548] 10000 pr A'; 10000; 'Pin Money 50000 p Ann'; 'for Private Whim Wham[s] 50000 pr [A]'. At the King's right hand are three large bags inscribed 'for Horses Hound[s] & other Nicknackatories.'"--British Museum online catalogue.

The eruption of the mountain, or, The horrors of the "Bocca del Inferno" [graphic] : with the head

Abstract:
"Vesuvius in eruption ejects an inverted cone of flame, while streams of flaming lava pour down its sides and have already surrounded 'Flanders' and 'Holland' (both indicated by windmills (left)). Another stream has almost reached London, which is directly in front of the mountain and is represented by St. Paul's and the gateway of St. James's Palace. In order to avert the calamity a ramshackle procession advances in the foreground from the right. Sheridan, as a cardinal, walks in profile to the left, holding up the head of Fox in both hands. His hat has the crown of a bonnet-rouge. His tattered robes are held up by two train-bearers, the diminutive M. A. Taylor and Lord Derby; their rents reveal a bare thigh and ill-gartered stockings over bare feet. Beside Sheridan walks a dog with a human profile, Grafton, as in BMSat 8457. [Identified by Wright and Evans as General Fox, who was serving with distinction in Flanders.] In front of Sheridan walks Lauderdale, carrying bell, book ('Lauderdale's Jests', a paper emerging from his pocket), and candle (a conspirator's lantern). Behind (and towering above) the two train-bearers are the Duke of Norfolk holding up his cap of 'Libertas' on his staff of hereditary Earl-Marshal, and Lord Stanhope holding two bundles of flaming matches. Their followers on the extreme right are indicated by caps, spears, and a tricolour flag inscribed 'Vive la Repub[lique]'. Heavy clouds cover the sky, from it fall stones or lava upon 'Vienna' and 'Berlin'. A thunderbolt descends upon 'Rome', which is in flames. All the sansculottes are literally without breeches and all have bonnets-rouges. They appear more ready to welcome the catastrophe than anxious to avert it. In the coloured impression the flame and lava from Vesuvius and the robes of Sheridan are tricolour."--British Museum online catalogue.

Abstract:
"Heading to printed verses: 'A Ballad, Occasioned by a Certain Earl's styling himself a Sans Culotte Citizen in the House of Lords.' Stanhope, wearing a bonnet-rouge inscribed 'Liberty', tramples on a scroll inscribed 'A Deo et Rege', beside which lies his (overturned) earl's coronet. He capers bare-legged, his breeches flutter to the ground from his left hand. In his right is a tricolour flag inscribed 'Vive l Egalite'; the flagstaff is surmounted by an ass's head, which looks down at Stanhope, who looks ecstatically up at it, his head turned in profile to the left. Above the design: "---off, off, ye lendings." Stanhope, his coronet, breeches, and flag, are in full light, the rest of the design is in shadow, clouds forming a background. On the left three members of the House of Lords flee, their backs towards him: the Lord Chancellor (Loughborough), in hat, wig, and robes, as the Speaker of the Lords, carrying a document: 'Vote of the House of Lords One Dissentient Stan[hope]'. Next him is a judge carrying 'Magna Charta'; the third is a bishop with a 'Bible' under his arm. On the right four ladies, one elderly, the others young (presumably his wife and daughters), hasten in alarm away from Stanhope. ..."--British Museum online catalogue.
