Abstract:
"A man with the profile of an animal, perhaps a sheep, wearing gown and bands, holds a large tie-wig of the kind worn by judges in his left hand, the fingers of his right hand are held out as if in calculation; he looks at himself in an ornately framed oval mirror on the wall with an expression of singular imbecility. An open door in the back wall shows rows of books in a book-case: on its lintel stands a bust. An oval (half length) portrait hangs on the left of the door, it is of a man in wig and bands, probably the subject of the caricature. Two high-backed chairs are the only furniture of the room."--British Museum online catalogue

"A short stout man stands on tip-toe by a table to drink from a large punch-bowl which he tilts forwards. Behind him stands a skeleton (right), its left hand on his shoulder, its right holding up a dart which it is about to plunge into the head of the drinker.

John Bull lies on his back in bed, his mouth gaping; Pitt, a goblin creature, sits on his chest in profile to the right, holding above his upturned head a loaf inscribed '13 Pence'. Pitt has a huge head, much caricatured, with starting eyeballs; his hair stands up and the bag of his queue, inscribed 'Taxes', flies out behind him. Through a casement window (left) looks a fantastic French republican, with bulging eyeballs and fang-like teeth, glaring at John Bull; from his neck hangs the model of a guillotine. Behind his head is a waning moon. Beside him are the words: 'Republic War and Famine for Ever.' Beneath the bed is a chamber-pot inscribed 'John Bull'; beside it is a chair on which stands a candle

A farmer in top-boots stands at the head of his dinner-table, about to hurl a large cheese; other cheeses fly about the room, and have broken plates and a window-pane.
