Abstract:
"A kitchen scene. An enormously fat cook sits by a kitchen fire, toasting-fork in hand, caressing a young man, whom she has provided with the slice of bread placed under roasting meat known as a sop in the pan. He eats the delicacy, but looks warily at the cook. A large joint of beef turns on a spit before a fierce fire (right) on which a pot is boiling. The arrangement of the dresser (left) is characteristic of the period, and long survived (or survives): dishes above, plates below; a grater and sauce-boats hang from nails, pots are piled on the pot-board under the dresser-drawers. On the wall near the fire are a bunch of onions and a salt-box. ..."--British Museum online catalogue

"A view of the House of Commons showing only the Ministerial benches immediately beside and behind the Speaker's Chair, and, on the extreme right, the Speaker and the Clerk with part of the Table. Addington, scarcely caricatured, but wearing gloves, is the principal figure. He stands in profile to the right, right hand extended; in his left is the 'Treaty of Peace with ye Democratick ['Democratic' was then used as an equivalent of Jacobin, cf. BMSat 8310.] Powers'; from his pocket issues a paper: 'List of the new Administration'. On the front bench (left) next Addington's seat, marked by his hat, sits Hawkesbury, nervous and deprecating, legs crossed, crouching forward, holding his chin. Next him is a very fat man with gouty legs, his head concealed behind Addington, identified as Dickinson, see BMSat 9854. Just behind are Nicholls, clutching his cane, and Tierney (not caricatured), both gazing intently at Addington's back. Behind Nicholls is Wilberforce, much caricatured. A fat, youngish man, standing full face (right), resembles Lord Temple. Of the other heads gazing fixedly at Addington only Tyrwhitt Jones (see BMSat 9401 and Index) can be identified: according to 'London und Paris', Jekyll and Whitbread are there. The Speaker, Abbot, is dwarfishly too small for the Chair; in front of him sits the Clerk, with a melancholy expression, holding a pen, his hands folded."--British Museum online catalogue

"One of a set of prints on the marriage of the Prince of Wales, see BMSat 6924, &c. Mrs. Fitzherbert (left) and the Prince of Wales dance; she holds out her apron in her right hand, his left arm is raised as if dancing a Scots reel; he appears about to take her left hand. The musicians are Burke, Weltje, and Hanger: Weltje, wearing a hat, sits (left) on a low stool, beating a pistol upon a warming-pan which he holds between his knees. Burke stands behind him holding a gridiron in the manner of a violin and with a pair of tongs as bow. He says, "Oh Burn the Pan it is not Beautifull". Weltje answers, "Damme but 'tis Sublime" (one of many allusions to Burke's book). George Hanger stands (right) beating the heavy end of his bludgeon on a salt-box; he is stamping and dancing, his hat is on the ground at his feet. Through an aperture in the wall behind his head is seen an ornate bed, decorated with triple ostrich plumes; behind the pillows is a cross. Two pictures, both inscribed 'Hamlet', are on the wall: on the left the Lord Chamberlain with his wand (Lord Salisbury as Polonius) approaches George III, saying, "I will be brief your noble son is mad". On the right Laertes addresses Ophelia, saying: "He may not as inferior persons do carve for himself for on his choice depends the sanity [sic] & health of the whole state." On the floor, in the foreground, lie two books and a paper inscribed respectively, 'Bold Stroke for a Wife' [Mrs. Centlivre]; 'Clandestine Marriage' [Colman and Garrick]; and 'I'll have a Wife of my own'. Beneath the title is engraved, 'As performed at the Theatre Royal, C------n [Carlton] House for the Benifit of the Widow Wadman'. A patterned carpet completes the design."--British Museum online catalogue
