- Abstract:
- "Satire on village life. A country fair in which three young women are running for the prize of a smock; the third in line has tripped over a dog and is being helped up by a man. In the foreground, left to right: a young couple embrace beneath two trees hung with drapery; a small girl fills a mug of beer from a cask on which leans the village constable, asleep, with an empty mug in his lap; a small girl beside him holds a book lettered, "Compleat Peace Off[ice]r."; a dog steals food from a plate discarded on the ground; an old man stands on tip-toe holding his eye-glass to read a notice lettered, "To be Run for by Men in Sacks, A Flitch of Bacon on Tuesday next" which is pinned to one of the trees; a sailor sits on a branch of the tree holding up the hem of the prize smock which hangs on a pole at either end of which is a three-cornered hat; another sailor lounges on the ground looking at the runing women, a large jug near his foot; a chimney boy grabs a gingerbread crown from a boy who is holding a donkey by a chain; a small girl holds a younger child who waves another gingerbread crown while a dog jumps up to reach it. Behind the area roped off for the race is a crowd of spectators and a farm cart which a woman climbs into with the help of two men and another woman already in the cart; a man with a cockade in his hat waves a small flag on a pole, perhaps indicating the start of the race; a larger flag with a cross flies behind; other villagers are gathered in and around a makeshift tent; a one-horse carriage driven by a woman and carrying a gentleman comes into the scene from the right; behind the carriage two men are fencing. Women watch from upper windows of a large house in the background; on its walls are two bird-bottles and a dove-cote which a cat is eyeing with interest from a window sill; beyond is a windmill."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "A satire on the rebuilding of Drury Lane Theatre. Whitbread, Chairman of the Committee, bestrides a barrel, the head inscribed 'The Butt M, T' [empty]. He has long ass's ears and points to a table beside him on the extreme right where there is a model of a theatre with a pillared portico and pediment. This rests on a paper inscribed 'Whitbread Copeland Holland Rolls &ca clear gains 450000!!!!!' Next Whitbread a man sits behind a similar table littered with plans all inscribed 'Plan of Drury Lane'. He also has ass's ears, to which a second pair has been added in water-colour. He looks through an eye-glass, resting his right elbow on an anchor, while he holds at arm's length the model of a theatre whose portico is flanked by two large sphinxes. A carved sun, like the emblem of the Sun Fire-Office, decorates his chair; on the right is a broad post or terminal pillar supporting a man's head, also with ass's ears. This rests on a volume inscribed 'Commons', and on its face in large letters are the words 'Ex Nihilo Nihil Fil'; from its upper edge a signpost arm projects to the right inscribed 'To Coventry', showing that he is Peter Moore. Behind Whitbread (left) and partly screened by a heavy curtain is a table supporting a third model of a theatre, also with a portico. Whitbread, frowning slightly, says: "These Resolutions once carried good bye Friend Sherry Old Claimants and new Subscribers (aside) Hem! I think I have bullied the Committe [sic] properly." His neighbour (? Lord Holland) who smiles, has a round good-humoured face; he says: "La! Mr Chairman I think my Sphynxes look Monstrous Pretty.""--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Italian witnesses, in a large bare room or warehouse, where three are being washed in a large bath by Castlereagh, Sidmouth, and Liverpool. The bath is inscribed: 'Waters of Oblivion. Non mi Recordo [sic]--Ministerial Washing Tub--!' The three witnesses are villainous-looking, and coloured brown. Castlereagh empties a bucket over the head of one, saying: "Can the Etheopean change his Colour." Sidmouth, plying comb and scrubbing-brush, says: "Or the leper his Spots." Liverpool turns to a lawyer (right) saying: "I never had such a dirty job in my life." The lawyer, Gifford the Attorney-General, answers: "We must have them perfect in their Story before they go." He holds a document inscribed 'Milan' [see British Museum Satires No. 13755, &c.]. A second lawyer sits at his feet, mending a pair of breeches. He says: "They are truely a filthy set, we must clear them of Vermin." The discarded garments of the men in the tub lie on the ground, with combs, a lump of 'Itch Ointment', and a box of 'Sulphor'. There are also two boxes: one (left) of 'Windsor Soap', the other (right), 'New Rigging from Monmouth Street' (where second-hand clothes were sold). Three ragged ruffians wait their turn, seated on the ground. Two play cards; one says: "Quel Maledetto Sacco"; the other responds "Ah! quel Sacco" (the Green Bag, see British Museum Satires No. 13735). On the wall behind them hang 'Italian Masks and Daggers just imported.' A high shelf runs round the room, on which stand a pile of 'Dutch Cheese', bottles of 'Italian Oil' and 'Botled Frogs', casks of 'Shalots and Garlick', 'Sour Grout', 'Portable Soup', 'Salt Herrings', 'Butter', a huge basket of 'Eggs', and three jars of 'Pickle'. By the wall on the extreme right, next the lawyers, is a cannon pointing through an aperture."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Fox, as a quack doctor, addresses a mob from the front of a platform which rests upon five beer-barrels inscribed 'Whitbreads entire' (cf. BMSat 8638). Four other mountebanks are performing. Fox wears the full wig and old-fashioned laced coat and waistcoat of a doctor; he points to a young man (Bedford) behind him (left) who stands on his head, coins pouring from his pocket into a box. A Pierrot (Grey) stands behind the platform holding a trumpet and saying: "Turn me Grey Gemmen if I dont read you the particulars of his curing 30,000 Patients in one day; when Brother cit. has done tumbling". On a slack-rope stretching across the left part of the platform is little Lord Lauderdale, holding a balancing pole. He and Bedford are dressed as acrobats. On the right is the doctor's zany, Sheridan, wearing a fool's cap and a tunic and trousers dotted with representations of the Devil. He scatters, and kicks towards the spectators below him, a shower of paper scrolls inscribed: 'An Infaliable cure for a bad constitution'; 'Aether for Arguments'; 'Caustics for Crimps' [cf. BMSat 8484]; 'Mercury for Ministers'; 'Preparations against Prosecution'; 'Powder [cf. BMSat 8629] for Placemen' [twice]; 'Pain for the Poor' [cf. BMSat 8146]; 'A Rope for Reeves' [cf. BMSat 8699]; 'Gibets for Justices' [cf. BMSat 8686]; 'Aqua Regis for Royalists'. The crowd (right), who are three-quarter length, eagerly hold out their hands to catch the papers. Next the platform is a well-dressed man resembling Grafton. The man on the extreme right is a butcher wearing a bonnet-rouge. Fox says: "Dis is de first Tumbler in de Vorld Gemmen, dat is Citoyen de Bedforado, who vas stand so long upon his head dat all de money vas Tumble out of his pockets; de Next is Citoyen Van Lathertalo, who's trick upon de slack rope are delightfull it is expected he vil von Day dance on de Tight Rope ha ha!!" The men and women composing the crowd on the left all raise a hand in affirmation; all are shouting. A man dressed as a militiaman, standing prominently beside the platform, raises a hand from which two fingers are missing; he shouts "All. All." Perhaps Edward Hall, 'Liberty Hall'."--British Museum online catalogues

- "Whitbread, his body, limbs, and head covered by tubs of varying shapes and sizes, raises a drayman's pole, to which is attached a hooked chain to smite the drooping head of a thistle with the features of Melville, his profile facing the ground; the flower forms a spiky coronet. The stem is inscribed 'Me quisque impune lacerrit' (replacing the 'nemo me impune ...' of the motto of the Order of the Thistle). Whitbread's heavy pole is 'Tenth Report'. The tub on his body is 'Wormwood', those on his legs are 'Quashee' [Quassia] and 'Aloes' (allegations of adulteration against his beer, cf. British Museum Satires No. 10574). He tramples on torn papers: 'Trial by Peers' and 'Magna Charta'. Another torn paper is 'Criminal Prosecution by the Atty General'. A large intact paper is: 'New Law Inquisition Committees Torture Question Thumb Screw Peine forte [et dure]'. On the right is a ruinous ale-house, before the door of which Fox sits astride on a large cask. He holds a big frothing tankard and watches Whitbread with cynical satisfaction. The head of the cask is inscribed 'Old Hollan[ds] For Ullage Cas[k] defict . . . Millions.' (An allusion to his father, Lord Holland, as the 'public defaulter of unaccounted millions', a gibe recurring over a long period, referring to the City Petition of 1769, cf. British Museum Satires No. 9739, &c.) Beside him a man in Highland dress, resembling Lauderdale, leans against the building, watching the outrage with frank pleasure. From a broken first-floor window leans Wilberforce, a sour sectary in a steeple-crowned hat inscribed 'Puritanism'. His hands are clasped; he says: "I say. Amen to all Cantwell." Above his head is a placard: 'Hymns & Spiritual Songs on the Slave Trade by St Wilber.' From his window projects a sign-board with a bust profile portrait of St. Vincent, hunch-backed and wearing a ribbon, inscribed 'System of Terror' and 'Hoc Signo non Vincent.' [Parodying the often-quoted in 'hoc signo vinces', the inscription on a vision of a fiery cross, to which legend attributed the conversion of Constantine. The 'non' is added inconspicuously with a caret.] On the building is a torn placard: 'performed The Tragedy Timon of [Athens] Lord Timon Mr Melville Lucullus a false friend & Kinsman Mr Kinhard [Kinnaird] little more than Kin and less than kind Scotch Reel &c.' Facing the ale-house, and on the extreme left, is the corner of the poop of a ship, the Romney. From this projects a hand aiming a blunderbuss inscribed 'Pophams Defence' at the sign-board; a blast of flame and smoke issues from it. On the ship is a board inscribed 'Wanted Supply of naval Stores Inquire within'. Below her is a faint wraith-like ship, 'Melville Castle', whose poop and (unrigged) masts are behind the drooping thistle."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Whitbread, his body, limbs, and head covered by tubs of varying shapes and sizes, raises a drayman's pole, to which is attached a hooked chain to smite the drooping head of a thistle with the features of Melville, his profile facing the ground; the flower forms a spiky coronet. The stem is inscribed 'Me quisque impune lacerrit' (replacing the 'nemo me impune ...' of the motto of the Order of the Thistle). Whitbread's heavy pole is 'Tenth Report'. The tub on his body is 'Wormwood', those on his legs are 'Quashee' [Quassia] and 'Aloes' (allegations of adulteration against his beer, cf. British Museum Satires No. 10574). He tramples on torn papers: 'Trial by Peers' and 'Magna Charta'. Another torn paper is 'Criminal Prosecution by the Atty General'. A large intact paper is: 'New Law Inquisition Committees Torture Question Thumb Screw Peine forte [et dure]'. On the right is a ruinous ale-house, before the door of which Fox sits astride on a large cask. He holds a big frothing tankard and watches Whitbread with cynical satisfaction. The head of the cask is inscribed 'Old Hollan[ds] For Ullage Cas[k] defict . . . Millions.' (An allusion to his father, Lord Holland, as the 'public defaulter of unaccounted millions', a gibe recurring over a long period, referring to the City Petition of 1769, cf. British Museum Satires No. 9739, &c.) Beside him a man in Highland dress, resembling Lauderdale, leans against the building, watching the outrage with frank pleasure. From a broken first-floor window leans Wilberforce, a sour sectary in a steeple-crowned hat inscribed 'Puritanism'. His hands are clasped; he says: "I say. Amen to all Cantwell." Above his head is a placard: 'Hymns & Spiritual Songs on the Slave Trade by St Wilber.' From his window projects a sign-board with a bust profile portrait of St. Vincent, hunch-backed and wearing a ribbon, inscribed 'System of Terror' and 'Hoc Signo non Vincent.' [Parodying the often-quoted in 'hoc signo vinces', the inscription on a vision of a fiery cross, to which legend attributed the conversion of Constantine. The 'non' is added inconspicuously with a caret.] On the building is a torn placard: 'performed The Tragedy Timon of [Athens] Lord Timon Mr Melville Lucullus a false friend & Kinsman Mr Kinhard [Kinnaird] little more than Kin and less than kind Scotch Reel &c.' Facing the ale-house, and on the extreme left, is the corner of the poop of a ship, the Romney. From this projects a hand aiming a blunderbuss inscribed 'Pophams Defence' at the sign-board; a blast of flame and smoke issues from it. On the ship is a board inscribed 'Wanted Supply of naval Stores Inquire within'. Below her is a faint wraith-like ship, 'Melville Castle', whose poop and (unrigged) masts are behind the drooping thistle."--British Museum online catalogue

- "The Treasury tub" on a stand in the middle of the image, is fitted with a siphon signed "Premier," from which other pipes extend toward Charles Fox, with a fox's head, on the left, and Lord North on the right. Fox, with a sealed cask by his side and holding a jug, complains that the tub appears to be empty from frequent use by the two of them and their friends. North, pouring from a jug into the cask by his side, expresses his contentment with its fullness. The "National tub" under the stand remains empty and "Fox and North, as two cellarmen, are filling casks from "The Treasury Tub" which lies on a wooden stand in the centre of the design. A siphon inscribed "Premier" is inserted in the top of the cask, from which branch a number of curving pipes, or cocks; through these the cellarmen divert its contents to receptacles for their own use. The "National Tub" which stands under the tap of The "Treasury Tub" (or cask) is empty. Fox sits on the left in profile to the right, with a fox's head, curled wig, and long bushy queue, holding a jug on his knee and leaning forward; he says, "The cask sounds empty & well it might be my Lord for we & our Friends have long been drawing from it". The cocks which extend towards him from the siphon are inscribed, "C Fox's Cock, Cock Royal", and "This Cock for Private Services". A cask at his side, in allusion to his gambling habits, is inscribed, "For C. Fox to be left at the Rattle Box Hazard Row till called for". North (right), very stout, in profile to the left, leans backwards pouring liquor from a jug through a funnel into the mouth of his cask, which is inscribed, "For Mr Deputy Secretary to be left at the Vicar of Bray'[s] Head - Bushy Park", indicating that he is a turn-coat and a mere deputy to Fox. The pipes which extend towards him from the siphon are described "Lord No . . .h's Cock; Election Bribe & Pension Cock" and "Admiralty". His lips are pouted towards his own cock and he is saying (in the metre of the Vicar of Bray): "A Plenum in my Cask I shew, with Plus & Plus behind Sir; and now that Cask runs minus low A Vacuum some will find Sir.""--British Museum catalogue
