A young man in academic cap and gown spears on a fork a bony fragment with a head resembling Napoleon, and is about to plunge it into a pot on a huge fire (left). He turns with a triumphant smile to his fat landlord and two others who gape in terror (right). A wall-clock points to twelve."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"John Bull, a hideously carbuncled 'cit', looks down grinning at a semicircle of men on a much smaller scale who surround his half-length figure. They are (left to right) Napoleon, wearing a huge bicorne, who looks up to say 'Ships. Colonies and Commerce'. A man in military uniform, quite unlike Alexander, his back to Napoleon, says: "Russian Vengeance attend John Bull. A fat Dutch burgher puffs smoke towards John, saying, III eternally smoke him". A scowling man in civilian dress with tousled hair says: "Let him tremble at the name of America". Prussia, a handsome military officer in place of the damaged soldier who after Tilsit represented Frederick William III in English caricature, says: "Beware of Prussia". A similar officer (Francis I) says: "Austria will never Pardon him". A Spaniard wearing a cocked hat says: "Spanish Fury overtake him". A scowling face says: "Let him beware of Denmark". John says: "Dont make such a riot you little noisy Brats, all your bustle to me is no more than a storm in a Chamber pot"."--British Museum online catalogue

"A satirical emblematic design; at centre, 'The Rock of the True Old English Constitution', on which sits a small figure of John Bull on a chair, holding a tankard and a pipe, saying, 'Well here I am I John Bull - thrown rather in the back ground this is the blessed effect of parties their pockets are full, and mine are empty. - however - Grievings a Folly so let us be be [sic] jolly - My Service to you.' To left stands a large grinning figure, 'Opposition Man', his hands in his pockets, with papers lettered 'Jobbing', 'Corruption', and with sums of money; at right stands a similar figure, 'Ministerial Man', also grinning and with hands in his pockets, one of which is lettered 'The Cash The Cash'. With feet on the shoulders of the latter and above Bull is a spreadeagled, large grinning figure, saying 'No Party Man', whose pocket is inscribed 'a little more money if you please'; on his head is balanced a cushion-like object lettered 'Promises', which supports the banner, 'Reform'; on top of this is a similing head wearing a ruff, fool's cap and ass's ears."--British Museum online catalogue

Seven designs in two rows, three above and four below, the verses etched across the upper part of each.

"A satire on the approaching election for the Chancellorship of Oxford University. Grenville, dressed as a cardinal, heads a small procession towards the Devil, who wears a robe on which is a large cross, and holds the bland mask with which he has been hiding his face. Grenville, bowing low, and deferentially holding his large hat, holds out a paper: Catholic Petition for the vacant Chancellorship with a Plan for Erecting a New Popish Sanhedrim on the ruins of old Alma-Mater, The Devil says: Well done my Children! This is all the Convocation I would have; in his left hand is a pitchfork. The Marquis of Buckingham, dressed as a Jesuit, stands behind him, one hand on his shoulder, the other holding his barbed tail. Beside him is Canning (unrecognizable) wearing a Jesuit's biretta. Beside the Devil is a greyhound with the head of Grey, its collar inscribed Popish Gray Hound. Immediately behind Grenville walks the Pope, wearing his tiara, and holding his cross; he holds up Grenville's robe on which is a large cross. Napoleon crouches behind the Pope, holding on to his robes and hiding under his mantle. He wears a crown, with uniform and spurred boots; his hand is on the hilt of his sword. Behind walk together Temple, enormously fat and dressed as a monk, and his brother, Lord George Grenville, similarly dressed. The former carries the Host, the latter a lighted candle. In the background rows of bishops and clergymen face the procession. Bishops in the front row, humbly sweeping the ground with their mitres, bow low, each clasping a Mass Book, while those behind cheer with raised mortar-board, hand, or Mass Book. On five of the books are the names of bishoprics: York [Vernon], St Asaph [Cleaver], London [Randolph], Oxford [Moss], Norwich [Bathurst]. Above the design (and the bishops): Golgotha, i.e: the place of Skulls."--British Museum online catalogue
