Abstract:
"Scene in a dance-room, which is roughly panelled, has a low platform across one end, and a small gallery (right) with a fiddler and a man blowing a French horn; it is lit by a hanging chandelier. In the centre two men face each other in boxing attitudes; one is stripped to the waist, the other to the shirt. Women stand behind them, alarmed or interested. A woman has fainted and is supported by a man who administers smelling-salts. On the right a wild scuffle is going on: two termagants seize each other by the hair, a third, on the ground, pulls down one of the combatants; they resemble prostitutes of St. Giles. Others are comelier and better dressed. Women and men stand on the platform watching with amused interest; one or two women register alarm or concern; on the right are two ugly old bawds."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"A close-up view of one of the 'pigeon holes' which flanked the upper gallery at Covent Garden. Heads closely packed together are framed in the lunette opening, six or seven rows receding one above the other in the centre. Most seem suffering from heat or discomfort, and except for one or two pretty young women are grotesquely caricatured. The centre figure in the front row, leaning on the parapet and apparently asleep, is a fat coachman in livery. An old man leans over, bleeding copiously at the nose. In the spaces left by the curve of the lunette in the upper corners of the design are groups symbolizing Comedy (left) and Tragedy (right): comic mask, pan-pipes, &c."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"The heads and shoulders of three persons fill the design, all studies in teeth, facial expression, and caricature. The profile head of the dentist is close to the fat face of his patient, a woman with a wide smiling mouth, open to show two rows of artificial teeth and gums. He smiles, displaying his own artificial teeth, and holds his patient by the chin. Facing him (right) is a man's head in profile, staring up at the woman through a double lorgnette; his open mouth reveals sparse and irregular teeth, in a grotesque jaw. Above his head is a notice: 'Mineral Teeth Monsier De Charmant from Paris engages to affix from one tooth to a whole set without pain. Mouns D can also affix an artificial Palate or a glass Eye in a manner peculiar to himself. he also distills'."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"A crowd of elderly Fellows in cap and gown issue from the Gothic doorway of the (?) chapel (left) and turn to the left, to walk in back view under an archway below a mullioned window, towards a quadrangle which is indicated only by the windows of the (?) hall. One enters the Principal's Lodge by a Georgian door (right) facing that of the chapel. He is closely followed by a buxom girl with baskets of fruit, exciting the prurient interest of some of the Fellows. Others buy fruit from another pretty girl. All are burlesqued. The architecture is realistically drawn. On the wall of the Lodge are two placards, one upside down, inscribed 'Vice . . .' and 'Vice Chanr'. The Principal of Brazenose was Frodsham Hodson (1770-1822), Regius Professor of Divinity 1820, see British Museum Satires No. 11534."--British Museum online catalogue

Pub. March 1811 by Wm. Holland No. 11 Cockspur St.
"The Ministry defend 'The Citadel of Office' behind a high stone wall against different Opposition groups. The chief defence is by the tiny Perceval who fires a cannon from whose muzzle issue three heads intended for Wellesley, Ryder, and Melville. In the centre the wall is breached, and Eldon looks from the gap, weeping; behind him is the Woolsack, inscribed 'Wool'. Lord Grey, on tiptoe, reaches up to seize his gown, while he flourishes a paper: 'Report of Physicians 1804'. Erskine, quite bald and with his (former) Chancellor's gown over his arm, reaches up to tug at the Chancellor's wig. Seated on the wall at the lowest point of the breach is Yorke in back view; in his pocket is a 'List of my Friends Cambridge' [see No. 11535]. He hands down a large seal bearing an anchor to Whitbread who straddles a cask floating in water which adjoins the 'Citadel' on the right. Whitbread takes this emblem of the Admiralty, flourishing a tankard (cf. No. 10414). On the left of the breach Sir Vicary Gibbs, brandishing a rolled document inscribed 'Law of Libel', defends himself vigorously against Romilly, who drags at his gown and has a similar weapon inscribed 'New Statutes'. In Romilly's pocket is a paper: 'New Bankrupt Laws'. Farther to the left the three Grenvilles, Lord Temple, the Marquis of Buckingham, and Lord Grenville, level a battering-ram against the wall. The ram has a ram's head, as in heraldry, but with a human face, and is intended for Ponsonby, leader of the Opposition in the Commons. On one horn is spiked a paper: 'Catholic Emancipation'. Between them and Romilly, little Lord Lansdowne (Petty) sits on the ground squirting a large syringe over his shoulder at the wall. Next the ram Moira, stiff and aloof, holds up a fox with the head of Lord Holland (nephew and political heir of Fox), whose fore-paws, holding a paper of 'Resolutions', have reached the top of the wall but are caught in a trap. On the extreme left. Tierney bestrides a wooden horse whose hind-legs are broken off; it is inscribed 'Finance'. A bundle inscribed 'New Budget for 1811' is strapped to his back; he fires a pistol inscribed 'Bullion Report', but he is about to be thrown, so that the pistol points backwards over his head. Between Tierney and the wall are Burdett and Wardle. The former is flinging mud at the defenders, at Moira, and at Tierney. ..."--British Museum online catalogue

"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

"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.

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.'
