Abstract:
"A man and woman sleep in a rough wooden bed, heads thrown back so that their nostrils face the spectator. Bare feet projecting from the bed-clothes attract a rat. A cat lies on a chair in the disordered room. An antique musket and broadsword hang horizontally above the bed, on a wall from which much plaster has fallen. A makeshift curtain hangs across a casement window (left). On a chair by the bed (right) is a punch-bowl. On the wall is a placard: 'Hush every Breese let nothing move My Celia sleeps and dreams of Love'."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A sailor stands full-face, legs astride, hands plunged through the bottomless pockets of his jacket; he squints violently, one eye turned on an uproar (left), the other on two termagants (right). His broken pipe, still smoking, lies at his feet. He says: "I am hardup--not a Quid left, or Shot in the Locker--to pay the Fiddler--Mi Eyes--what a Squall, how it whistles trough the Ratlines I must Braill up and Scudd under Bare Poles." A prostitute with a patched face (left) kicks him and is about to bring down a fiddle with broken strings on his head. This she has snatched from a man with a wooden leg and patched eye-socket who lies on the ground at her feet. Another woman (right) yells at him, holding out an enormously long bill on which are such items as 'D°', often repeated, and 'Sundreys', 'Lodgings', 'Grog', 'Fidler'. Behind her an old bawd in the bar points to a chalked-up score, where signs for guineas are marked. On the left a watchman with a lantern enters, springing his rattle, which is inscribed 'St C'."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"The infant King of Rome sits on the lap of his Governess to receive the compliments of a long procession of deputies. She offers the child's bare posterior, from which issues an explosion, to the lips of the foremost deputy who kneels obsequiously on a cushion. The child has his father's face, as in British Museum Satires No. 11719, &c., and wears a cocked hat and military tunic; he flourishes a rattle, ignoring the homage. The deputies all wear long robes over court dress with sword and are burlesqued; the second holds his nose, many take snuff. The long procession recedes in perspective (right). The Governess is also grotesque and elderly, wearing old-fashioned dress and an elaborate frilled cap. She sits on the little King's throne which is on a dais. It is topped by the iron crown of Italy with a sceptre and baton; on the back is an imperial eagle above a wreath enclosing the letters 'R R' [Rex Romae]. The leading deputy: "Madam Governess. not one of us can behold without a most lively interest, that August Infant--on whom rest so many Destinies, and whose Age and Charming--Qualiteys, inspires the Most tender Sentiments in the French and Surrounding Nations." She answers with a staring grin: "Monsieurs, --I thank you for the polite and flattering encomiums, You are pleased to bestow on me--I thank you in the Name of the Young Prince, Whoes Charms are Inexpressible. and regret that he can not add his personal sentiments to those which I entertain, to the--Legislative Body." Napoleon (left) watches the homage from behind a curtain which divides the child's throne from women who are washing the infant's napkins; he holds up a forefinger and stares intently. A disreputable old woman washing a tub-full of 'Shi--en Clouts' also watches; her tub rests on a low stool under which a dog urinates, and on which are bottle, glass, and snuff-box. Another, behind Napoleon, hangs 'Royal Clouts' on a line in front of a steaming copper. She says, "The Stench from the Young Urchin is intolerable--he smells like a pole Cat." A basket of 'Foul Linen' is on the ground."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Masqueraders stand closely grouped. A centre figure is an obese, aged, and capering Punch, playing a guitar. Two women are prominent, both are in profile to the left, and wear small masks which frame their eyes. One holds a wand and a book inscribed 'Magi', the other wears breeches and is very décolletée. Behind her is an ugly coarse-looking man, wearing a domino with a naturalistic mask resembling his own features. A man wears a bag-wig with large horns and carries a placard inscribed 'Horns to Sell'. One figure wears two realistic and complete masks, Janus-like--one that of a handsome woman, the other of an ugly man. The background is an arc of a rotunda, with Ionic pillars framing curtains and decorated with fairy lights."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"Two figures face each other made of domestic utensils. A housemaid (left), very erect, has a wooden bucket for a body supported on a mop and a long-handled floor-polisher, and is also concocted of a broom, a dust-pan, a brush, and a hearth-brush, with a check duster, &c. A cook (right) seems to bow courteously towards the housemaid. She is made of a 'Flour' barrel supported on a large ladle and two-pronged fork; a covered pot with pot-hooks hanging from the handle, a rolling-pin (as right arm) to which a colander is attached. There are also a grid-iron (or save-all), a small saucepan, a salt-box, and dangling metal skewers."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"Two figures face each other made of tools, implements, &c. A carpenter, very thin and erect, is composed of a straw tool-bag, placed vertically and containing saw, plane, &c., supported on a pair of compasses for legs. The head is a mallet on which is a glue-pot, with gimlet, chisel, &c. An axe serves as arm. The gardener bends politely; the body is a watering-pot supported on a pair of shears. The head is a nosegay of roses, &c. tied to a spade; roses and lavender lie in a piece of drapery that serves as apron. A rake and hoe are thrust through the handle of the watering-pot. Below the Carpenter: 'With Bowels lank and Head of Mallet, The Joiner longs to taste a Sallad.'
