Abstract:
"On a skittle-ground just outside an inn (left) with the sign of the mitre, a stout parson stoops to throw a ball at a set of ninepins, smoking a long pipe. A farmer, seated close to him, with a foaming jug, says, with his pipe in his mouth, "I think a game of skittles must be healthy exercise Doctor!!" The parson: "Yes! I was advised to it by my Physician! I find great benefit! I get quite a dab at it--here goes the Head of the Church!" He has not seen a grossly fat and carbuncled bishop who has entered the enclosure, leaving a carriage and pair at the gate. The bishop says: "Proceed good Doctor with your Game--I wish you all the benefit from it which your Physician has promised, but I am afraid it will never procure you a Benefice." A man in riding-dress, an ostler, and a countryman in a smock watch from the left, the bishop's coachman and footman from the gate (right)."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"The base of the design is a dunghill from which rises the head of Napoleon as a young republican officer, not caricatured. His head is covered by a large cup-shaped fungus, decorated with a tricolour cockade and resembling a Cap of Liberty; from its apex ascends a curving stalk, terminating in the large yellow rosette of a sunflower, centred by the head of Napoleon as Emperor, larger than that of the base, and representing an older man; like the lower one it is directed slightly to the right. Below it, leaves project from the stalk, balancing the design. On Napoleon's head is an arrangement of stamens in the form of an imperial crown. These unite to form the long scraggy neck of the third Napoleon, a head in profile to the right, emaciated and desperate. On this head is a larger fungus than that below, projecting like an enormous hat. From it ascend the stems of a bunch of violets, copied from No. 12511, but with the addition of more flowers, and on a larger scale. It contains the profiles of Napoleon, Marie Louise, and the King of Rome, arranged exactly as in British Museum Satires No. 12511. Smaller fungi sprout from the dunghill, some flat and some conical, like caps of Liberty; on the latter tricolour cockades are indicated. Four little figures are on a slope (left) leading towards the dunghill, prepared to clear it away. In front are Blücher and Wellington, running forward, and talking to each other; one holds a spade, the other a broad hoe. Behind them is the Tsar, shouldering a pickaxe. Behind again stands Louis XVIII, with splayed gouty legs, supported on a crutch. He waves his hat to cheer them on."--British Museum online catalogue
