Abstract:
"Five women, fashionably dressed, are grouped by a round table (right). Three play cards, one (right) weeps, reading a book: 'Excessive Sensibility a Novel in 21 Volumes by the Auth[or] of Tears & Sighs / Chap 1st'. A fifth stands with her back to the others, drinking, a decanter in her right hand. A plainly dressed man wearing top-boots, and hat in hand, sits (left) in profile to the right regarding the women with consternation. Next him the husband, fashionably dressed but clumsy, sits with hands on knees, frowning angrily. The former says: "Why Jack you terrible Turk I could not believe it if I had not seen it--Five Wives at once--why you will get yourself into a pretty scrape! what could induce you to commit such a rash action." The other answers: "Why you must know Uncle--out of so many I was in hopes to have met with a Good One--but by St Patrick. I have been taken in--!!"."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"General Frost towers above Napoleon who stands in the snow, his arms folded, while Frost, standing behind him, holds his victim's nose, and flourishes a large razor of 'Russian Steel'. Frost is a grotesque monster, nude to the waist and with the legs of a bear; his great feet are planted upon two groups of little French soldiers, crushing them into the snow. He is emaciated and old, with glaring eyeballs, wide mouth fringed with fang-like teeth, and huge moustache; a blast issues from each nostril; one inscribed 'North' slants down upon Napoleon's head, the other, slanting to the right, is inscribed 'North East--Snow and Sleet'; these are white against a dark sky. He has icicles for eyebrows and on his head are jagged pinnacles inscribed 'Mountain of Ice'. This is irradiated by a disk above his head inscribed 'Polar--Star'. His fingers are talons. From his mouth float the words: "Invade My Country indeed--I'll Shave--Freeze--and Bury you in Snow--You little Monkey." Tears fall from Napoleon's eyes, and he says: "Pray--Brother--General--have Mercy, dont overwhelm me with your hoary element, You have so niped me, that my very Teeth chatter Oh--dear--I am quite Chop fallen." A telescope is thrust under his arm. He wears the wide plumed bicorne of earlier caricatures. In the background on the left is 'Moscow' in flames; on the right the buildings of 'Petersbourg', and, nearer the foreground, 'Riga'. Above the horizon rise icebergs in fantastic shapes."--British Museum online catalogue

"A stout man seated by a table (left), one hand resting on a book as if sitting for a portrait. He holds a crutch, one gouty foot is bandaged; his hair is tousled, his face ludicrously contorted buy a frown. Four framed prints of men on horseback or leading horses are on the wall, which is also decorated by a pair of clumsy top-boots hanging from a nail. A saddle leans against the wall."--British Museum catalogue, description of an earlier state
