"John Bull (right), a fat citizen wearing spectacles, holds aside a curtain, revealing Napoleon and Joséphine enthroned, side by side. He stands in profile to the left, a large pistol under his left arm, his left hand in his coat-pocket. He says: "Boney - Boney, that wont do - You must not Play my King & Queen." Napoleon, wearing a huge bicorne, a drawn sabre in his right hand, frowns at John. Joséphine wears a crown, holds sceptre and orb and looks complacently to the left. Both sit with right foot planted regally on a stool, and left leg arrogantly thrust forward."--British Museum online catalogue

"Mrs. Siddons stands on the stage, her head turned in profile to the left, her left hand outstretched to take a heavy purse which hangs on a pitchfork emerging from clouds. To take it she has dropped a dagger which falls to the ground. In her left hand is a cup whose contents she is pouring on the ground. The panniers of her dress fly backwards revealing two bulging pockets, one full of guineas, the other of notes or cheques inscribed '£1000, £300', &c. She is saying: "Famish'd & spent relieving others woe, Your poor devoted Suppliant only begs, This morsel for to buy a bit of Bread." The black clouds of smoke from which the pitchfork projects rise in a pillar of cloud from the pit of the theatre where flames are indicated, from which come the words 'Encore! Encore!' In the background a temple of Fame on a mountain-top is collapsing, the pillars shattered; the figure of Fame falls backward, dropping his trumpet."--British Museum online catalogue
