"A fight between Lyndhurst and Peel with Ellenborough and Wellington as bottle-holders. Lyndhurst (left), in Chancellor's wig and gown, staggers back, arms flung out, at a punch on the nose from Peel who lunges forward, ruthlessly pugnacious. Ellenborough, dressed and behaving as a dandy (in tight-waisted blue coat and white bell-shaped trousers), holding a tubular eau-de-cologne bottle, emblem of the dandy, cf. BM Satires No. 13031, registers alarm, exclaiming, 'Oh! Oh! my dear Lud, take care--he's a terrible hitter--or he'll have your Ludship's dear head in Chancery.' Wellington (right), in uniform with sword, gauntlets, and heavily spurred cavalry boots, says: 'That's it Bob; serve him out--He won't ride rusty after this I know.'"--British Museum online catalogue

"Wellington sits behind a small cloth-covered table flanked by eight other representations of himself, as depicted in recent caricatures, apparently all by W. Heath. The arrangement is evidently that of Charles Mathews' 'At Homes', see British Museum Satires No. 14714, &c., Wellington, like Mathews, being in propria persona at the table. In this guise he wears the robes (indistinguishable from Coronation robes) and collar of the Garter and the order of the Golden Fleece and a (crown-like) ducal coronet; his head is turned in profile to the right. Immediately below him, the head and hands of another Wellington, who is crouching on the floor, project from the tablecloth; he grasps a royal crown, and wears a cap coloured blue and resembling a tam-o'-shanter, but perhaps intended for a coronet. The other Wellingtons, all standing (left to right): [1] A mute as in British Museum Satires No. 15501, in profile to the right. [2] A Grenadier, full-face and rigidly at attention, much as in British Museum Satires No. 15768, but without the musket. [3] A ratcatcher stooping to the left and touching his hat, the cage in his left hand (cf. British Museum Satires No. 15806). [4] Aged and cloaked, wearing spectacles, with bowed head, he clasps a cross in both hands. [5] The old woman in a soldier's coat of British Museum Satires No. 15721, facing, and apparently in angry altercation with, the seated Wellington. [6] The coachman of British Museum Satires No. 15731, in profile to the left, holding shaft and lash of his whip as if they were the reins of a four-in-hand which he is driving. [7] Wellington in uniform, directed to the left, wearing his plumed cocked hat and holding up with a furtive expression a sword with a damaged blade in a dilapidated scabbard. [8] A mummy-case with an aperture to show Wellington's head with the forefingers compressing his mouth; below the aperture is the word 'Mum'. (Apparently from a satire on Wellington's silence as to his intentions on Catholic Relief until the eve of the opening of Parliament, see British Museum Satires No. 15659.) There is a background of curtains. Cf. British Museum Satires No. 15787."--British Museum online catalogue

"A fantastic theatre scene, showing stage, orchestra, and two boxes on each side of the stage. On the stage the fall of Amsterdam is represented by a number of frogs (burghers) who hasten obsequiously to submit to the Stadholder. William V, much caricatured as a short fat man wearing military dress with plumed helmet, gorget, and jack-boots, stands with an uplifted sabre, dripping blood, about to cut the throat of a frog, who kneels, holding out a purse in each hand. His sabre is inscribed 'W. de V'; he straddles across the decapitated heads and limbs of his frog-subjects; under his left foot is a standard decorated with three storks. A mutilated frog jumps from the stage into the orchestra from which rise the flames of Hell. Other frogs disappear into the flames, where demons act as musicians; one plays a gridiron with a pitchfork, two others sing. Dominating these musicians is the half length figure of a lean military officer playing the flute, in gauntlet gloves, his eyes fixed on the stage. The frogs who hasten towards the Stadholder have expressions of terror and are dressed as Dutchmen. One proffers a large key inscribed 'Stadt House', another a pail of 'Milk', another a beehive, another a cask of 'Butter', another a keg of 'Holland Gin'. Behind William V the Princess of Orange (left) stands with her hands on her hips, smiling coquettishly over her shoulder at her husband, the word 'Kiss' issuing from her mouth. Suppliant frogs fawn upon her. The background of this scene is a city wall (right) (Amsterdam) and clouds (left), across which straddles a grotesque figure of Fame blowing two trumpets. Above the proscenium the words 'Sic transit Gloria Mundi' replace the customary 'Veluti in Speculum'. ... "--British Museum online catalogue

"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

"Nicholas I, in uniform with plumed cocked hat, rides (right to left) a gigantic Russian eagle, his sword raised to slash. The eagle holds in one of its beaks a round wicker coop which it drops over a turkey crouching on a grassy slope (left). From each predatory beak a cloud issues, inscribed WAR in large elaborate letters. The heraldic bird is very much alive, one claw clutching a sceptre, the other an orb. The Tsar stands in his stirrups; his saddle is superimposed on the shield on the bird's breast on which is a mounted knight in armour with visor down and sword raised. To the shield are appended eagles and other emblems. Far below (right) is a snow-covered plain where tiny Cossacks gallop with levelled spears, chasing Turks, The sky is filled with flame and smoke from blazing buildings. On the left from among the smoke emerges the dark silhouette of a profile bust of Napoleon; he says: Europe look well to this beware of the Kelmuc [sic]."--British Museum online catalogue
