Abstract:
"The Lord Mayor sits (right) in profile to the left in a chair of state facing a city officer in a long gown holding a wand who leads in a file of five amused 'cits', three men and two women. The officer says: "Here are a number of People brought before your Honor, by your Honor's Order, for not keeping the pavement clean before their Houses in Frosty Weather - according to the Act of Parliament for that purpose; but the worst of all is - here is a Worthy Alderman, lays information, that the pavement before your Honor's Door is as much neglected as any of the rest - and moreover says that he himself had a fall there in the late Frost, which shook him so much, that he has been unable to digest Turtle or Venison ever since - A material injury to one of the Body Corporate." The alderman, who heads the file, clasps an enormous paunch. The Mayor answers, proffering a coin: "Well, Well, if that is the case, take my five Shillings, and say no more about the Business." The Mayor wears spectacles and a chain of office; he has not the plebeian appearance of the alderman and his companions. (Charles Price was Lord Mayor 1802-3.)"--British Museum online catalogue

A angry old hag sitting in a chair is lowered into a body of water by jeering crowd. A little boy on the right urinates in her direction. A cat in a bowl floating in the water howls in her direction. A calf sits between the large man blowing a trumput. Various people in the crowd show their merriment by dancing, hitting a pot with a hammer, blowing a horn, and drinking gin

"A mounted officer with drawn sabre heads a procession of 'Volunteers' linked by a chain to his horse and to each other. The horse is a well-bred animal with handsome trappings, but the rider is lean and has torn breeches. He is followed by a file of three whose necks are attached to the horse and whose hands or arms are pinioned. All are miserable wretches, barelegged and ragged; the last, less abject, has sabots and takes snuff. He is chained to the neck of a donkey on whose back is a pannier containing three despairing conscripts. To the animal's tail is tied a low truck on which a moribund shackled man lies on his back, his knees drawn up. To the truck is chained, in a stooping position, a man whose hands are tied behind his back, his nails being long talons. Birds, scenting carrion, fly towards the procession. Below the design: 'Dedicated (by an Eye Witness) to the Volunteers of Great Britain'."--British Museum online catalogue

"Count Starhemberg (left), Austrian Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to England, drives in a post-chaise drawn by two galloping horses past the gate of the Tuileries (right), where Napoleon stands, with straddling legs and outstretched arms, small, angry, and impotent, shouting, "Ha, diable! - va't 'en! Impertinent! - va't 'en! - is dere von Man on Earth who not Worship little Boney? - Soldats! aux Armes! revenge! - ah sacre dieu! - je suis tous Tremblans [sic]." Grenadiers are drawn up on both sides of Napoleon, their heads receding in perspective under the arch of the palace. They have huge moustaches, and wear bearskins, high stocks, and Hessian boots. They glare fiercely at the Austrian, with their hands on the hilts of their sabres. Starhemberg looks wards Napoleon with raised eyebrow, taking snuff with nonchalant contempt. A large coronetted 'S' and the Austrian eagle on the post-chaise show his identity. Baggage is piled on the roof of the chaise."--British Museum online catalogue

"Five Germans seated at a round table, gormandize savagely on cabbage and sausages. Three are grossly fat and coarse-featured and plebeian; one of these (r.) has tucked the table-cloth round his neck (cf. BMSat 8145). A lean military officer sits in back view plying spoon and fork with elbows raised; a lean dog laps from his plate, one paw on his knee the other on the table. Cocked hat and sword are on the ground beside him. A thin and elderly man of more polished appearance puts down his head to the mound of greenery on his plate, which he shovels up with spoon and fork; his knife lies on the table-cloth. His hat and gold-headed cane are under his stool. A fat cook enters (l.) carrying a large steaming dish piled high with sauerkraut and sausages. On the table are a 'Vinegar' bottle and fragments from over-full plates. On the wall are a map of 'The Mouths of the Rhine', showing the 'German Ocean'; an oval bust portrait of 'Arch-Duke Charles' [see BMSat 8835], with a gross profile resembling that given by Gillray to the Duke of Clarence; a picture of a row of pigs whose heads emerge from sties to feed in a trough. On the floor are large tankards, a broken pipe, a pile of used plates which a cat is licking, a 'Bill of Fare - 1st Course Sour Krout - 2d Course Sour Krout - 3d Course Sour Krout - Desert Sour Krout.' Tankards and plates are inscribed 'Weyler Castle Street.'"--British Museum online catalogue
