Abstract:
"Scene in the vaulted ante-room of a dungeon. The turnkey, keys in hand, accepts with wary enjoyment the blandishments of a pretty young woman, whose interest is clearly in the fate of a handsome youth seen through the bars above a padlocked barrier on the right. A grotesquely obese and misshapen man (right) approaches the turnkey with a jug and frothing glass. Behind the latter (left) is a table with a shoulder of mutton and a small cask. A cat plays amicably with a dog. Heavy fetters hang from the walls, and there is a heavily barred door; a vaulted recess leads to a second dungeon. The place is lit by hanging lamps."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"The nurse, a respectable-looking woman wearing a cap and apron, stands in profile to the right beside an open coffin placed on trestles; she rests her left hand on a shrouded protuberance. In her right is a glass filled from a bottle of 'Gin' on a table (left). The coffin lid rests against the wall: 'Gabl Paunch Citizen and Alderman of Gobble Ward Obeit [sic] Novr 10th 1810 Ætat 45 Years'. A plate on the ornate coffin is decorated with a bottle, bird, glass, &c. On a chest of drawers are many medicine-bottles all labelled: 'Opening draught Aldn Paunch'.

"Below the title: " To pack up her tatters and follow the Drum. Soldiers and their wives walk in single file across a stream under trees. All except for the only officer are good-looking. The procession moves irregularly from right to left, receding in perspective. In the stream (left) are two soldiers carrying their wives on their shoulders; the second carries also kettle, frying-pan, and saucepan slung from his musket; the woman has two infants tied to her shoulders. They are followed by a young woman carrying three children on her back, her petticoats raised almost to the waist. On the brink of the stream (right) is a drummer bent under a big drum and with a sword under his arm. A soldier follows, heavily burdened with musket, knapsack, inscribed Old Buffs, rolled cloak, bottle, &c., and a pouch from which hangs the head of a goose.

Abstract:
"Napoleon and Marie Louise are awkwardly seated on a throne (right) watching a comet representing the King of Rome, while the child's gouvernante proudly holds him up to gaze at the phenomenon through a telescope. The comet is a disk containing a naked child wearing a cocked hat, and holding a bowl; a gallic cock stands on his posterior, from which the comet's tail issues, reaching the real child. Five grotesque and elderly Frenchmen kneel with gestures of adoration (left); one kisses the toe which the Empress holds out. They have plans of the heavens; on the ground beside them is a plan showing the child-comet surrounded by stars and a waning moon. Napoleon wears a plumed bicorne and Hessian boots; he looks through a telescope, seated on the edge of the throne, right leg raised and resting on Marie Louise. The King of Rome, who as usual has his father's features (see British Museum Satires No. 11719), wears a similar hat and a little shirt. His gouvernante, Mme de Montesquiou, is dressed as nourrice rather than court lady. The throne is surrounded by draperies supported on pillars; it is surmounted by the iron crown of Italy and the back and arms are formed of carved eagles."--British Museum online catalogue

A dinner of mostly elderly men has dissolved into a brawl with wigs flying in every direction as they pummel each other with their fists or any tool at hand. In the center a man crawls on his hands and knees, blood pouring from both nostrils, his opponent ready to land him another blow. The one young man of the party dances merrily on top of the table flourishing a bowl in one hand and a spoon in the other as the dinnerware scatters in every direction

Abstract:
"An aged surgeon leans over a bag of instruments on a table (right), selecting a knife; he wears an old-fashioned wig, hat, coat, &c. A pretty girl seizes him by the arm; she shouts at him, pointing behind her to his subject, a young man lying on a trestle-table, fully dressed and apparently in perfect health, who has just wakened, horrified. In an open cupboard stands a skeleton (left). On the wall is a notice: 'A Course of Anatomical Lectures accompanied with Dissections will be delivered tommorrow Even[ing] by Professer Sawbone.' [An early use of the word 'Sawbone'. Partridge gives the date as from c. 1835, citing Sam Weller in 'Pickwick' (1837).] Two lighted candles stand on the table. On the lintel of the door is a bust of (?) Hippocrates frowning down at the scene."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
