"A glutton lies in bed, asleep, assailed by the fish, flesh, and fowl of a City dinner. A huge turtle is on top of him, a lobster pinches his nose, a pheasant swoops to peck an eye. He holds in each hand a bottle labelled 'Wrights Cham[pagne]' [see British Museum Satires No. 15478], squirting the explosive contents at his assailants. A big frog points a spear on which three small frogs are spitted. On his bedside table besides candle, box of 'Dixon's Pills', basin, &c, is a bill of fare: 'Turtle & fresh Cod'; 'Roast beef & à la mode'; 'Veal and Mutton'; 'Pork and Venison'; 'Pheasants & Pigeons'; 'Lobster & Sturgeon'; 'Turkey and Capon'; 'Goose and Salmon'; 'Turbot & Ducks'; 'Shrimps in Pots'; 'Frogs à la Crapodine'; 'Anguille &c à la diabletine' [sic]. All these, shrimps excepted, are depicted; there is also a hare."--British Museum online catalogue

"The crowded cabin tilts to the right, to the dismay of a family party dining at a table in the foreground. There is a second table in the background with a meal in progress. The cabin is bordered on left and right by two tiers of berths, apparently for two persons, set in panelling, and with curtains festooned along the upper edge. These are filled by suffering travellers. A bench runs along the front of the berths; other passengers sit on camp-stools. Phases of misery, discomfort, resignation, and (by exception) complacency are realistically illustrated. A sailor pushes a mop-stick through an open hatch in the roof."--British Museum online catalogue

"Ministers and others, holding hands, caper in a ring round a pole to which are symmetrically attached the decollated heads of the Cato Street conspirators executed on 1 May, see British Museum Satires No. 13707, &c. Between Sidmouth and the smiling Castlereagh is a man wearing a black mask, and with a blood-stained knife in his mouth, perhaps one of the two who turned King's evidence. On the right, taking Castlereagh's left hand, is the Attorney-General, Gifford, grinning diabolically. Holding Sidmouth's left hand is Vansittart (in his gown). Facing these two are Canning and Chief Justice Abbott in his robes. Four others are poorly characterized. They dance to a fiddle played by Edwards who sits on a grassy mound (right), with an empty gibbet behind his head. He says: "Dance away my Friends, I have been the cause of all this fun by your Help and Money. "Edwards the Instigator!!!"."--British Museum online catalogue
