Abstract:
"A burly whiskered and moustached Russian, wearing high fur cap, cloak, top-boots, and sword, gauntleted hands on hips, kicks a much smaller Napoleon into the air, contemptuously smoking a pipe. He says: "I'll teach you to insult Ambassadors Master Bouncing B," showing that he was originally intended for Markoff, and that the plate related to Napoleon's treatment of the Russian Ambassador in 1803, see British Museum Satires Nos. 10016, 10091. Napoleon's huge bicorne falls from his head; he says: "I'll not be treated in this way I will have my own way in every thing"."--British Museum online catalogue

"Social satire; two sailors on horseback, one with a pipe in his hatband on a small white horse with a spotted handkerchief on a stick attached to its bridle, the other smoking a pipe on a large brown horse; they ask each other how their journeys on their horses have been, using language associated with ships, for example: "endeavouring to double the point at Mile-end she fell foul of a dray, and smack she lay me keel upermost in a stinking ditch ... I hoisted my pocket handkerchief on her topmast as a sign of distress, which was seen by some comrades at anchor in the moorings. ..."."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Two sailors face each other at a small table, on which is a centre-dish of pork bristling like a porcupine. Behind the table stands the hostess looking warily at one sailor (right); she says: "Never was better Pork believe me Gentlemen - I powdered it with my own Hands." He answers, scowling: "Did you so - then I'll tell you what Mistress, while your hand was in, I wish you had Shaved it also." The other (left), spiking a bristling chunk of meat on his knife, says: "Why Jack - may I never cast Anchor again, if there ant bristles in this Pork as thick as Cables." Beside him is a dog. Both sailors wear striped trousers with buckled shoes. A punch-bowl is on a side-table, and the print of a ship on the wall indicates a sailor's house of call."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
