"The freeholder, a ragged Irish peasant, stands full-face, between a bloated priest (left) and a fashionably dressed young man; both tug at his coat-collar. The obese priest, who wears robes, with a large cross from neck to knee, holds up a print of the Devil smoking a pipe, in the bowl of which sits a tortured man; he says: Vote for your Priest or see this picture of your Soul in the next world.

"A giant File (for filing papers by spiking them), a rod with a round base and terminating in a hook, bisects the design vertically. To the hook is padlocked a handsome country seat, surrounded by trees, lawn, flower-bed, deer, and peacock. At the base is the same house in ruins. In each corner of the design is a pair of figures: the lawyer and his client at different stages of the suit. Spiked on the file, and filling the centre of the design, is a long procession, extending over two concentric ovals and enclosing the final scene, the exterior of a debtors' prison; it begins with a Full Purse and ends with a limp Empty Purse. The corner designs: [1] an obsequious attorney bows to a stout and jovial sportsman, saying, Oh Yes, a Chancery Suit will soon put you in possession of that fine Estate. [2] The Defendant, dandified and slim, nonchalantly empties a purse into an attorney's hat, saying, There take that, and file a bill immediately. [3] Older and ragged, the Plaintiff stands back to back with an obese barrister who scans an enormous bill of Costs, much of which lies coiled on the ground. Below: How blest was I, before I went To Law I fear'd no Writs, I felt no Bailifs Claw. (lines quoted also in British Museum Satires No. 1609, see British Museum Satires No. 3047) [4] The Defendant, almost more ragged and dejected, stands with hands thrust in empty pockets, while a paunchy barrister marches off in triumph. Below: Now happy man, can'st triumph in thy Woes? For tho' thou'st got the Day, thou'st lost thy Clothes. (lines adapted from No. 3048 (1749) The centre procession of little figures, everyone carrying a purse, is headed by the Sergeant at Arms capering along, the mace on his shoulder, followed by the L--d--C--ll--r, and his train-bearer. Next, the Master of the Rolls and three Clerks, all carrying bulky packages of Orders and Decrees. Next, walking in pairs, come 12 Masters in Chancery [there were actually ten], in wig and gown, holding papers inscribed Affidavit, Recognizance, Orders, and Deeds; they carry between them one vast elongated purse. Six dandified Clerks follow, each with a pen behind his ear. Next, The Clerk of the Crown and Deputy, the first a barrister, the second carrying Decrees spiked on a rod, and followed by another barrister, the Registar [sic], and by another batch of (six) Clerks. After these walk The Six Clerks, in wig and gown, holding papers: Procedure on Bill, Pardon, Commission Bankrupt[cy]. A rather raffish crowd of 60 Assistants follows, their hands greedily extended, despite their fat purses. 24 Cursitors in wig and gown take up more space in the procession than the preceding '60'; they are headed by one of their number holding large Writs. Six individuals follow: Clerk of the Hamper, dragging two big Leather Bags; Comptroller of the Hamper; Clerk of the Patents with a Charter; Master of the Suppoena Office--; Clerk of the Affidavits. Eight Clerks of the Petty Bags follow, and are followed by two Examiners (barristers). Next are the Clerk of the Rolls, a barrister, burdened with Deeds, and the Usher of the Court holding a wand. Two Tipstaves follow; then comes the Warden of the Fleet, and last of all two burly Turnkeys, and a long Empty Purse. This procession marches along a path coiled in two concentric ovals, like a lengthy legal document, some of the figures being upside down; it encloses the centre design, so that its tail points to the door of the Fleet Prison. From a barred window placarded Poor Debtors a victim looks out; he is given alms by a dustman and an apple by an old apple-woman. On the right a fat prosperous butcher stands by his stall in the Fleet Market."--British Museum online catalogue

"George IV as the 'Great Babe' lies asleep in his cradle rocked by Lady Conyngham, while Wellington, seated before a pier-glass, places the crown on his own head. The glass reflects the dark emaciated features of British Museum Satires No. 15520. The Duke wears a uniform with boots and sword. On a table below the glass the sceptre and orb lie on a cushion. Lady Conyngham, with a towering coiffure as in British Museum Satires No. 15508, croons: Oh slumber my darling | The time may soon come | When thy rest may be broken | By Trumpet & Drum [the last three words in large letters]. The infant sucks a thumb; a gouty foot projects from the coverlet.

"The Duke (left) and Duchess of St. Albans stand facing each other; the little Duke staggering under an ornamental basket which supports a side of bacon, inscribed Best Wiltshire. The Duchess holds on her shoulder a cutter in which are seated six oarsmen with oars held erect, and a helmsman. The Duke is dressed as Grand Falconer (see British Museum Satires No. 15596) and wears a hood with bells indicating both a fool's cap and the hood and bells of falconry. Two speeches float from his head: [1] "In love connubial, formed to live and last, This gift records a blissful twelvemonth past We claim, then boldly claim the flitch Dunmow First of the blest, who keep the marriag Vow". [2] I thought the flitch to small a present on this auspicious day so I have brought the Gammon with it Love.

"Nicholas I, in uniform with plumed cocked hat, rides (right to left) a gigantic Russian eagle, his sword raised to slash. The eagle holds in one of its beaks a round wicker coop which it drops over a turkey crouching on a grassy slope (left). From each predatory beak a cloud issues, inscribed WAR in large elaborate letters. The heraldic bird is very much alive, one claw clutching a sceptre, the other an orb. The Tsar stands in his stirrups; his saddle is superimposed on the shield on the bird's breast on which is a mounted knight in armour with visor down and sword raised. To the shield are appended eagles and other emblems. Far below (right) is a snow-covered plain where tiny Cossacks gallop with levelled spears, chasing Turks, The sky is filled with flame and smoke from blazing buildings.

"A bear (right), wearing Cossack trousers and an imperial crown surmounted by a double-headed eagle, runs off to the right. He carries a piece of mountainous country inscribed Greece on which kneels a tiny Greek in profile to the left, exclaiming Save me from my Friends. The bear (the Tsar) tramples on the neck of a turkey, with the bearded, turbaned, and terrified head of the Sultan, which lies on its back. The bear looks fiercely over his shoulder towards an angry English sailor who sits in an open boat with a cannon mounted in the bows. The sailor wears a top-hat with a ribbon inscribed Navar[ino, see BM Satires No. 15507, &c]; he has dropped an oar to lean back, extending his clenched fist towards the bear, and shouting: Halloo--master-drop that, or d--me I'll run along side of you, in no time. Cannon-balls are piled in the stern; above them flies a Union flag topped by oak leaves. On the farther side of the water (left) stands Charles X, a capering French fop in the dress of the ancien régime, with a cane under his arm. He says: By gar he is take away all de Greece. The scene is watched from a distance by the Emperor of Austria, who draws his sword, saying, I should like a bit of that."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Eight of the select vestry of St. Paul's, Covent Garden, dine in the Vestry Room, while the beadle blocks the doorway on the extreme right, saying, You can't come in now--the "Select" are engaged. A parson, identified as Dr. Richards, is in the chair at the head of the table; mopping his bald head he says blandly: "Dont be afraid of the viands, Gentlemen--although our fatigues are great, I hope we shall convince the parishioners we can do our duties at the table if we do not at the Board. Decanters of Port and Sherry, a ham, and a turkey are on the table; a dwarfish footman brings in a dish of ducks. A second footman oafishly holds out a glass of wine to the chairman, spilling the contents of a soup plate on to the head of a guzzling fellow gnawing a bone, who is identified as Alderman Winchester. The latter's neighbour eats with a knife; all but the parson-chairman appear ill-bred; one turns aside to vomit. The parson's vis-à-vis, identified as Mr. Staunton, leans back in his chair, asleep with food on his fork, while a spectacled doctor, identified as Dr. Morgan (not a guest) proffers a bottle of Rose Water. From the pocket of a gross and carbuncled man, identified as Mr. Thompson, hangs a paper: Hush-Money from certain Brothells, Flash-Houses &c &c. He drinks, putting his foot on that of a small man, 'Fentum', who stares at him knowingly. On the left is a large scroll: Items of Expences--for visiting the pauper Children --Dinner & dessert--£9"9"0, Lemon--0"1"0 Ten bottles Bucellas--3"0"0.

That, the "Select" shall have absolute power over their fellow parishioners to impose any rate or tax on them (the parishioners) which they (the "Select") shall think proper. 3rd.

"A complicated piece of machinery fills the centre of a room in a fashionable establishment; an open door (right) leads into a shop where, in the background, a pretty and extravagantly dressed woman (in the costume of c. 1828) presides at a counter; above the door is a model of the machine, 'Patent Shavograph!!!' Through a window (left) is seen the 'Ladies Hair Cutting Room': another machine operates on seated ladies, whose long hair is raised perpendicularly into the mechanism. Above the window is an erection of erect loops of hair, burlesquing the fashion. A dandy, waiting his turn, ogles the ladies through his monocle. Another, sitting on a chair (left), reads a newspaper, 'Herald'. The 'Shavograph' operates from right to left upon the customers who sit on a circular bench, each with his head held firm in a wedge cut from a millstone-like disk (B) at the back of his seat. The razor has just sliced off the nose of an officer who stands gesticulating wildly, putting his hand before splashing blood while one dismayed neighbour rises from his seat, and the other shouts 'Stop! Stop!' Four men on the left, waiting their turn for the razor, &c, to reach them, are unconscious of the accident. One is having his head pressed into position by a rod held by a fashionably dressed man (H) who is also working a lever. Below the design, in the border of the print: 'EXPLANATION. AAA a circular form on which the shavees sit. BBBBBB wheels that govern the position of the head. CC [cog-wheels] the machinery which moves the brush in every required direction.

"The Devil (right), in the foreground and much larger than the other figures, stands Asmodeus-like on a house-top (cf. British Museum Satires No. 16160), overturning with a long pole a dinner-table and upsetting the guests who fall on clouds of Dust. He is a grotesque muscular creature with goat's legs, barbed wings and tail, and looks round with a triumphant grin at the spectator. The guests are also assailed by harpies, little winged men, whose bodies terminate in barbed and scaly tails. One of these (Corder), holding a long bill which rises into the air above him, assails a man (Roach) mounted on a cockroach and holding up a book inscribed Parish Acct; he is The Grand Carver mounted on his Cockroach.; from the cockroach's antennae hang two big keys, and it emits a tail-blast inscribed We are of the Select, against his assailant. The latter holds out a paper inscribed Majority 7 and says am I not the Elect. Another harpy holding out a constable's staff flies menacingly towards the cockroach, saying, By St Thomas I cheque this. Roach exclaims: I tell you it's all a farce so we have taken the liberty to Cribb the Books Keep the Keys tight Cockey. A third harpy threatens the feast with a pair of spurred cavalry boots, saying you will Do-Well to give in, showing he is T. W. Dow (a boot-maker of York Street, Covent Garden. P.O. London Directory, 1822), see British Museum Satires No. 15528. A fourth has seized a paunchy Vestryman by the nose; the victim screams Oh my Nose--Rose Water rose water--oh oh oh-- From the table fall birds, hare, tureen, decanter, pineapple, &c. The dust forms a background, and is inscribed Dust for the Eyes of the Parishioners; looming through it is the façade of St. Paul's, Covent Garden. The bill held by Corder is headed Dinners. The items are Richardson £8-5, Hodgson & Gan £47-11-0, wine 5. 3. 0.
