"Satire on the changing fashions for women, with women in a shop buying new heads, backsides, legs etc."--British Museum online catalogue and Interior of a crowded shop, with shelves of elaborately-coiffed human heads. A sword lies on the floor, evidently having been employed to behead a lady who stands having her new head put in place by a shop assistant.

He entered the judiciary in 1880 and became a judge in 1910 and then an adviser to the Paris Court of Appeal. He earned the nickname "good judge" by releasing Louise Ménard, a young single mother, who had stolen bread from a baker because she had not eaten for days. Judge Magnaud reimbursed the baker for the cost of the stolen bread.
A large clumsy dog (left) oddly like a bear, its collar inscribed 'Towler', sits under an oak surrounded by puppies; all bark savagely at a group of animals representing France and subject countries. Napoleon is an ape, who pushes forward an ass laden with 'Swiss Cheese'; he holds a staff on which are shackles and a cap of Liberty, and turns his head to snarl. The British dog barks "Keep off Boney"; all the puppies bark "Keep off". By the aged oak, up which ivy climbs, is a scroll inscribed 'Union' [cf. BMSat 10103, &c.]. The 'Gallic Mongrel', its collar inscribed 'Snarl', retaliates: "I bark at you I bite these". 'These' are animals to whose leg or collar is attached a heavy weight inscribed 'Liberty'. They are 'Signor', an Italian greyhound, and 'Mynheer', a ringed pig or boar. A similar weight is attached to the (Swiss) ass

"Stanhope, striding forward in profile to the left, approaches an altar to 'French Principles', while with his left foot and left hand he overturns a bishop seated behind him on a bench. On the summit of a quasi-cylindrical altar is the seated figure of a female monster with webbed wings, snaky hair, and pendent breasts, a firebrand in the right hand, a dagger in the left. Behind her stands a foppish Frenchman with a simian head, dressed as a soldier, one foot resting on a large skull. In his right hand is a headsman's axe, in his left he holds out to Stanhope a hangman's noose. Stanhope places on the altar a paper inscribed in large letters: 'Philosophy Atheism Rapine Murder'. The altar itself is decorated with a headsman's axe and block, the word 'Liberté' in a wreath, and shackles. At its foot lie a cross and an overturned chalice. The bishop's head is turned in back view; he topples backwards as Stanhope kicks his bench; he represents the bench of bishops ..."--British Museum online catalogue
