Abstract:
"A huge pot rests directly on a fierce fire from blazing bank-notes. The scene is outside the Bank of England, the façade being on the extreme right. From it porters are carrying huge stacks of 'Notes' to add to the flames. The pot is inscribed 'Bank Pot' [twice], and 'Cash Payments at the Bottom of this Pot', where it is badly cracked owing to the fire. The pot is filled with Bank Directors, whose heads and arms emerge. They shriek: "I am in a Stew"; "I am sure the Pots Crackd," and "Take care it don't Break." A fashionably dressed man ascends a ladder leaning against the pot (right); he shouts to those inside "have you found the Gold." The fire is being stirred up by (?) Peel; Vansittart, in his Chancellor of the Exchequer's gown, uses a mace to push the man up the ladder. Huge clouds of smoke ascend from the fire covering much of the design; they are inscribed 'Smoke' and 'Cash Payments Smoke'. Two spectators stand on the left, watching the hurly-burly. One, a 'cit', says: "There's a pretty Kettle of Fish." The other, a countryman in a smock, answers: "Lord bless you they ban't Fish they be all paper"."--British Museum online catalogue

"The front of the velocipede (see British Museum Satires No. 13399) is in the normal shape, and is ridden by a dandy; the bar is elongated and dropped to give space for a seat on which a lady sits, wearing an enormous bonnet. At the back is a much lower seat, like a dickey, behind the back wheel. In this sits a groom, with his feet on a foot-rest, working the wheel by handles attached to the hubs. In the background (left) is a similar machine, carrying three."--British Museum online catalogue

A racist and complex print purports to show a dinner held at the African Institution, becoming increasingly drunken and debauched as the evening progresses. Cruikshank employs many common 19th-century racist stereotypes of black people - drunkenness, aggressiveness, and sexual promiscuity - and lampoons the idea that black people could aspire to behave like white people. In the print, the white abolitionists are portrayed as unsuspecting and bewildered innocents who find themselves entirely out of their depth. Cruikshank seems to suggest that their association with black people has corrupted them - that they are being 'uncivilised' rather than black people becoming 'civilised'. Meanwhile, the idea of relationships between races is ridiculed. Many familiar and important figures are represented. Abolitionists like Wilberforce, Stephen and Macaulay appear next to the street entertainer Billy Waters and the radical Robert Wedderburn ... See a full description at Royal Museums Greenwich online catalogue and A design based on Gillray's 'The Union Club' with the roistering fraternizers being English and negroes, in place of English and Irish. The chairman's raised throne with its canopy is on the extreme left, at the head of the table which extends to the right across the design. The throne is an infant's chair, or commode, supported on a round tray based on two casks, one above the other. Wilberforce has risen from the chair, so far as the front bar will permit, his chairman's hammer held between flexed knees ..."--British Museum online catalogue

"A tall lean parson bestrides a velocipede (see British Museum Satires No. 13399) outside a small thatched cottage (left) built against the slope of a mountain. His wife with four children, all five bare-legged, watch the (perilous) departure; she says: "Well my Dear I am quite pleased you have got a Hobby; you will now be able to get through your Duty with ease and comfort!" He looks back to say: "Comfort indeed my Dear! it is only ten Miles you know, I shall now perform the Service and be back by the time the kettle boils!--I hope they will build some more Churches in Wales, for I shall be able to undertake six of them!!!" In his pocket is a paper: 'Sermon on the benefit of Poverty'. The rough track descends towards a narrow valley (right). Beside the cottage is a ramshackle shed from which a pig looks out."--British Museum online catalogue

A view from the street: a carriage with a coachman shown driving on the street in front of the Sidebotham shop with a sign over the shop display windows reading: Opposition Caricature Shop. In the opposite direction on the street, a horse gone wild; another horse is trampled by the carriage horse. A woman flees in terror while a gentleman continues to walk, oblivious to the chaos around him. Sign in the upper right: Bang up!! The public are cautioned against a vile and spurious imitation of the above published car[illegible text].
