"Lady Archer sits in profile to the right before her dressing-table, applying rouge to her cheek with a brush. Her notoriously painted cheek is blotched with drink. She is dressed for driving, wearing a coat of masculine cut, and a skirt which is short enough to show stockings above laced half-boots. A high-crowned hat trimmed with feathers is poised on her hair; on her vulture-like nose glasses are perched, her profile being reflected in the draped mirror. Through an open window (left) appears her high phaeton."--British Museum online catalogue

"Five British sailors make a furious attack on six French soldiers, grotesque and terrified creatures, whom the sailors humiliate and insult. Their officer (left), who holds a British flag, is threatened by a sailor with clenched fists, and excretes, terrified. A sailor with a scourge slashes the bared posteriors of a Frenchman who grovels on the ground, saying, "oh le pauvre Commandant"; he says, "Now foutre you'l take 2 Merchants Ships for a fleet of Men of War again". A Frenchman, nearly throttled by an angry sailor, cries "Ca-ira Ca-ira". A sailor pulls the queue of the drummer, to whom he offers a piece of tobacco, saying, "here you B--g--r heres a stale Quid for you Instead of Hartshorn". A sailor on the extreme right pulls the queue of a Frenchman and raises his club to strike; the latter says, "oh Diable we was Make de Dam Mistake Parblue". The sailor answers, "aye aye D------n Your Eyes Ill make you Blue and Black too". In the background (left) are buildings inscribed 'Nantes'."--British Museum online catalogue

They hold out to him copies of his Reflections on the French Revolution, damning him for the crime of writing such opinions. An old woman on the right holds a chamber-pot under her petticoats and sprinkles Burke, "old Loyola", with the water from a feathered aspergillum asserting that "this holy water' will protect him, an old accusation that he was a cancealed Roman Catholic

An allegorical print with two tableaux illustrating on the right, the end of a righteous life and on the left the end of the life of a man who made wealth his object of faith. The religious man in bed surrounded by books and against the background of an attractive library, is greeted by the winged figure of Time clutching a scythe and an hourglass. In contrast, the greedy man, his gouty leg wrapped in bandages and resting on a stool, recoils against the figure of a spear-wielding skeleton, upsetting his table
