"The Duke of York, in regimentals, his hat and sword beside him, kneels with clasped hands before the vast head of a whale, which projects into the design from the right, and rests on a low wooden platform. He says: "O Mighty Monster of the Deep, continue to attract the attention of John Bull, bend his mind solely towards thee, for in that is my only hope-fascinated by thy powerful attractions he may perhaps forget the honour of a P------e."--British Museum online catalogue.

"A doctor (left), grotesquely obese, stands in profile regarding with a satisfied smile his dead or dying patient, who leans back in an arm-chair with closed eyes. The patient, old and emaciated, wears night-cap and dressing-gown over breeches and stockings. Behind him are the curtains of his bed (right). At his side is a round table with a bowl, medicine-bottle, and a paper: 'Prescriptions, Bolus, Blisters'. On the ledge of a casement window is a close array of medicine-bottles. The doctor says: "My Dear Sir you look this Morning the Picture of health I have no doubt at my next visit I shall find you intirely cured of all your earthly infirmitys."

"A view of the pavement of Pall Mall seen from the cobbled roadway; it recedes slightly from left to right and is backed by part of the screen and façade of Carlton House, with part of the adjacent house on the extreme left on which is a door-plate inscribed Sherry [Sheridan]. On the pavement are three of the new gas-lamps; a tall post with three globes, one at the summit, flanked by two others on slender curving branches. In each globe is a triple flame. A fashionably dressed young man (left), points with his riding-whip, instructing the lady who holds his arm: The Coals being steam'd produces tar or paint for outside of Houses--the Smoke passing thro' water is deprived of substance and burns as you see. A fat Irishman turns to say to the speaker: Arrah honey if this man [Winsor] bring fire thro water we shall soon have the Thames and the Liffey burnt down--and all the pretty little Herrings & Whales burnt to cinders. A fat countryman (right) gazes up, saying, Wauns what a main pretty light it be. we have nothing like it in our Country. A lank Quaker on tiptoe, standing beside him, says: Aye Friend but it is all Vanity, what is this to the inward light. On the extreme right a flamboyant courtesan with her bare arms in a muff says to a buck who inspects her through his glass: If this light is not put a stop too--we must give up our business We may as well shut up shop. The man answers: True my dear not a dark corner to be got for love or money. There are other passers-by on the pavement, typical Rowlandson characters, one a parson of Dr. Syntax type, cf. British Museum Satires No. 11507."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Mrs. Clarke kneels on one knee in profile to the left, extending her arms towards a sacrificial pile of burning books, and looking up at an irradiated sun containing a profile bust portrait of the Duke of York. The books are on a rectangular altar, 'The Alter of Repentance', with classical mouldings, the corners being satyrs' heads. The books are inscribed 'Life of Mrs Clarke' and 'Memoirs'; with them are burning papers inscribed 'Love'; 'Darling'; 'Love Letter'. A mass of flame ascends to merge with the rays from the sun, from which the Duke looks down benevolently at Mrs. Clarke; she says, "Thus perish all that gives my Darling pain". She wears feathers and drapery in her hair."--British Museum online catalogue.

"The Duke of York, in a pilgrim's gown, wearing a mitre and with a crosier for his staff, approaches the corner of a house where two women, Mrs. Clarke and Miss Taylor, look eagerly from an open window. Behind him his path, 'Road to destruction', leads down from a country house in trees, Oatlands. Beside the path is a stone: 'Stumbling Block'. Near the house the Duchess of York kneels imploringly, raising her arms towards the distant Duke. Behind her is one of her many pet dogs (see British Museum Satires No. 11023). The Duke tramples on two open books: 'Thoughts on Connubial Happiness' and 'Thou shalt not commit Adultery'. He says: "Now for a meeting with my Dearest Dear".

"George III stands on a low rectangular platform placed upon a boarded floor and is approached from all sides by applicants for office. He is in back view, but turns his head in profile to the left, to inspect a group through his spy-glass, saying: Well Gentlemen,--I have taken a peep at you all: but I am afraid that you won't do--for some of you are too Heavy & Broad-Bottom'd for Service; & the rest seem to have no Bottom at all.--So Gentlemen, I think I shall he content with my Old Servants. In the front row (left), bowing low, are three Grenvilles, the Broad-Bottoms par excellence (see No. 10530): Grenville, holding a gold-laced coachman's hat and long whip, says: Does your Honor want a steady Broad-Bottom'd Coachman to drive you; in bowing he has split his tight breeches. His nephew Temple is next him, then the spectacled Buckingham who says: We'll do any Thing; his son (Temple) adds and in any Way! [cf. No. 10721]. Close behind is the emaciated Sidmouth, hat in hand and holding out a bottle labelled Cathartic; he says: Pray your Honor remember Doctor Slop! your Old Apothecary, who Physick'd the French! [see No. 9849]. Next him and nearer the spectator stands Whitbread, dressed as a porter, and mopping his head. His porter's knot is on the ground, inscribed: Saml Froth his Knot--Carries any Weight in any Weather. He supports against his knees a huge rectangular pile of Motions to be brought in the House of Commons. These are inscribed: Motion against Royal Family [cf. No. 11234]; Motion against the Ministry; against the War; against y Judges; against the Church; against Magna Charta; Motion against. He says: If his Honor wants an Honest Porter, I'm his Man! Behind him and on the extreme left Lord Henry Petty capers to a dancing-master's kit which he plays with his fingers; he asks: Does his Honor want a Fidler to play a Jig [see No, 10589]. Behind Petty and Whitbread are two men dressed as chairmen with straps across the shoulder: one is Grattan; the other (?) Ponsonby, asks: Does his Honor want a pair of Irish Chairmen to carry his Honor clean through the Mud? Behind these and in the doorway (left) is a group of three: Cobbett, holding up his hat and a sheaf of Cobbett Political Register, says: Does his Honor want a Patriotic Reformer? Burdett asks: Does his Honor want a Partner in Business!--ask him Townsend. Townsend, the Bow Street officer, holding up his constable's staff, faces the group, saying sternly: Out with you & be damn'd; from the back of his head a label floats towards the Grenvilles: Take care of your Pockets--Gentlemen Broad bottoms.

His face is repulsively sub-human, with broad flattened nose, scowling forehead, eyes slanting up from the nose, long upper lip and wide curved mouth, with short hair and whiskers, and suggests an embodiment of evil.
