"A scene between decks, evidently in an East Indiaman. A hammock stretches across the upper part of the design; from it a sailor looks down grinning at a buxom young woman who is being 'rigged out' by a sailor seated on a tea-chest. She wears chemise and petticoat, inscribed 'Gum Elastic', with two huge pockets inscribed 'Japan Old China' and 'Tea', a cask of 'coniac' and a canister are tied to her waist, and a bottle of 'Otto or [sic] Roses' is between her breasts. Her hat and gown hang from a nail (right). She puts her hand amorously on the smiling sailor's head. Another sailor sits behind him, smoking and drinking. There are chests of 'Souchon' and 'Congo' tea, and bottles of 'arrack'. A fiddle hangs from the wall."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"Six scenes, arranged in two rows, each with an inscription above the design. The figures are realistic, not 'Lilliputian', as in British Museum Satires No. 11134, &c. [1] 'Lilliput is situated a considerable distance from the Island of Great Britain, and the Natives have many singular manners and customs, one in particular is swearing to give a vote according to conscience with one hand, and receiving a bribe with the other--what a happy thing it is that nothing of the kind ever occured in England.' A scene at the hustings, showing one of the posts inscribed 'St M . . .' indicating the polling-place for one of the Westminster parishes, cf. British Museum Satires No. 10619, &c. An elector takes a book (Testament) from a poll-clerk, while a man slips coins into the hand which he holds behind his back. There are spectators (or voters) outside and inside the hustings; a woman sells a ballad. [2] 'They have a litte [sic] man in Lilliput call'd John Bull, we suppose in humble imitation of that Gentleman so named in our Country but the comparison can never hold good, the Lilliputian John Bull though overburthened with Taxes is continually visited by the collector for more--we well know that is not the case in England!!' John Bull, a fat 'cit', is seated in an arm-chair wearing a hat, with a tankard and pipe on a table beside him. He looks up angrily at a lean tax-collector who stoops towards him, holding an open book. On the wall is a (damaged) picture, 'Liberty', holding her cap on a staff. [3] 'There we frequently see Merit in distress, and Ignorance, rolling in affluence, if such facts were mention'd in England, they would not be believed!! their manners are so different.' A street scene. A small thin man (left), his eyes on the ground, and a fat, vulgar, arrogant fellow walk towards each other on the pavement. The former has his hand in his coat-pocket in which is a pamphlet: 'Poem[s] on var ....' They are identified by two bills on the wall: 'By Permission of the Lord Chamberlain--for the Benefit of Peter Prose authour of several Pieces' and (headed by the Royal Arms) 'Slushbuckett Nightman to his Majesty'. [4] 'In Lilliput it is well known that a Female throug [sic] certain influence has disposed of situations in the Army and Church, what would our John Bull say to that!!' Mrs. Clarke receives her clients seated at a small round table; she holds out her hand to take a money-bag from a parson (O'Meara, see British Museum Satires No. 11258, &c.). Behind, an officer advances, sweeping the ground deferentially with his cocked hat, a money-bag in his hand. The head of a third applicant is on the extreme right. A window and a folding screen form a background. The Duke of York inconspicuously watches from behind the screen. See British Museum Satires No. 11216, &c. [5] 'A certain Nobleman in Lilliput is said to have become a jobber and disposed of a seat in Parliament; a pretty Parliament that must be!! O John Bull you are a happy man!' Castlereagh and another well-dressed man sit facing each other across a small round table. Castlereagh hands over a document, the other a money-bag. [6] 'In Lilliput it is common for a boy of fifteen through interest, to leap over the shoulders of a vetran Hero!--Ay John Bull you may well be suprized--but such things are practiced there we assure you.' A boyish officer poised on the bent back of an elderly one, is about to leap over his head; he wears a fashionable crescent-shaped cocked hat; the elder man's old-fashioned tricorne falls to the ground. In front of them is an open door set in a stone arch, probably that of the Horse Guards. John Bull, a fat 'cit', stands in profile to the right, gazing in astonishment. This long-standing abuse came into notice over the proceedings against the Duke of York, see British Museum Satires No. 11281."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Six scenes, arranged in two rows, each with an inscription above the design. The figures are realistic, not 'Lilliputian', as in British Museum Satires No. 11134, &c. [1] 'In Lilliput, cases of Crim Con, are so common that they are considered as fashionable by all ranks of people.--How John Bull would grumble, if that was the case in England.' A fashionably dressed pair sit side by side on a settee, embracing while an elderly husband gapes in astonished dismay. Cf. British Museum Satires No. 11119, &c. [2] 'The Lilliputian Ladies, sit up all night ruining their healths and Families, at cards, pharoah, and Hazard. Fie for shame!!' Four ladies play cards at a round table lit by two candles in an ornate branched candlestick. A wall-clock, surmounted by a figure of a sleeping Cupid, shows that the time is 1.55. [3] 'It is a well known fact in that country, that Church Wardens, Overseers. &c, sit down to splendid feasts at the expence of the poor, we know John Bull would not believe it, if he had not received it from such respectable authority.' Five men guzzle at a small table; the two who face each other in profile have tucked the ample table-cloth under their chins; one man gnaws a bone which he holds in both hands. There are two waiters, one serving wine, the other bringing in a steaming capon. For the parish feast see British Museum Satires Nos. 2474, 6877, 8770, 9639. [4] 'There a young man of Fashion apes the slang and manners, of a Stage Coachman, so unlike the naturel refinement of our own Country.' A scene in the yard of the 'Bang-up-Livery Stables. C. Cypher' (the name over a wide doorway). Two men stand in conversation, one fashionably dressed and wearing top-boots, the other wearing a coat reaching to the ankles, with four capes and a high collar; he holds a coachman's whip. Behind is the back of a coach with two men in the dickey. A satire on the Four-in-hand Club, see British Museum Satires No. 11700, &c. 'Bang up' was a new catch-phrase connected with coaching. [5] 'In Summer the Beaus are buttoned to the chin, and the Ladies go half naked, can any thing be more absurd!!' A fashionably dressed couple walk together in a landscape, the lady holding a small fringed parasol, and a reticule; she wears a very decolletee dress, and long gloves on her bare arms, with tiny slippers. He wears a heavily swathed neck-cloth, double-breasted tailcoat, and Hessian boots. [6] 'But what is worse than all, the Lilliputians are fond of sending out expeditions, and as soon as they are out calling them back again, it is true they are slow and sure, slow to depart, and sure to be too late!--how different from the alacrity, and prompitude of our own country'. A fleet of ships in full sail. For the Walcheren Expedition see British Museum Satires No. 11364, &c."--British Museum online catalogue
