Abstract:
"General Bennigsen (right) stands aggressively beside a large kitchen fire basting Napoleon, a much smaller figure, who is horizontally transfixed on a spit turned by a bear (left) seated erect on its hind-legs. He uses a ladle inscribed 'Benningsens baistings'. A large frying-pan rests on the flames by the bear's head from which frogs are diving into the fire. There is also a large steaming pot inscribed 'Corsican Broth'. The bear, whose thigh is inscribed 'Westphielea ham', asks: "How do you like Benningsen Baisting --Master Bony--and your Frogs." Napoleon, whose wrists and ankles are lashed to the spit, answers: "Our situation may be fun for you--Mr Bear--but Death to us." Bennigsen grasps a red-hot poker with a spade-like end inscribed 'Russia Iron'; he says fiercely: "I'll Roast--Beast [sic]--Dish--and Devour you, he Smoaks Brothe [sic] Bruin--an other turn and he is done." He has a patch over one eye, huge moustaches, and wears a fur cap, fur-trimmed uniform, with star and cross, and high cavalry boots, besides a small apron inscribed 'Russia duck'. The long pan under Napoleon, in which are sops of bread, is inscribed 'Sop for Cossacks'. On the ground is a row of four dishes inscribed respectively 'Bears grease', 'French Capers', 'Russian Sauce', 'Ice Cream'."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"The Regent, as Macheath, wearing military uniform and heavily shackled, stands between Mrs. Fitzherbert, who kneels at his feet (left) removing his leg-irons, and Lady Hertford (right), who stands beside him taking the fetters from his wrists (inscribed 'Restri[ctions]'), He sings "How happy could I be with either." Mrs. Fitzherbert, a long rosary dangling from her waist, says: "The Benediction of His Holiness light on the Defender of Our Faith." Lady Hertford, sultana-like in a jewelled turban, says: "You heard of the Row & the Rowly Powly Song before Our house the Other Night?!!" Behind and on the right Eldon stands full-face between Perceval and McMahon, who face each other in profile. Perceval, in his Chancellor of the Exchequer's gown, and holding a brief-bag, says: "The Greys won't move without their own Coachman tho the Brewer [Whitbread] has offerd his black to do the dirty Work." Eldon, in a huge wig, holds the Purse of the Great Seal; he says: "We must hire Jobs for the Night Work but we are Pro' Rogued." McMahon, in military uniform, has a number of ribbons and stars hanging over his arm; he says: "These Garters & Ribbonds are all returned." On the wall are two pictures: George Hanger, bestriding his pony (as in No. 8889) with a burly bailiff seated behind him, rides in the direction of a sign-post, with a noose hanging from it, pointing 'To the Kings Bench'. This is 'George & his Hanger On, takeing a ride together to a Lodging in Surry'. The other is Sheridan as Bacchus, but dressed as Harlequin (cf. British Museum Satires No. 9916), bestriding a cask of 'Old Sherry'."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A boyish midshipman (right), wearing uniform with cocked hat, fashionable neck-cloth, and tight white trousers, bargains at the waterside with two prostitutes. He puts his arm round a comely young woman, feeling in his pocket; she extends her hand for payment. Beside her (left) is a hideous negress smoking a pipe. Behind, at the foot of a ladder, crouches a shapeless elderly woman. The ladder leads to a coastal fortification, where look-out men are lounging and smoking near a gun-embrasure. A man ascends the ladder with a basket on his head. Behind (right) is the sea with a man-of-war; by the shore a ship's boat with three sailors waits for the midshipman."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
