"Lord Grantham, in military uniform, wielding the club of Hercules, inscribed 'L G his cane', stands with legs astride, threatening Wooler (left), a tiny 'Black Dwarf, as in British Museum Satires No. 12892, who registers extreme rage or terror. Grantham has enormous moustaches, which fly upwards on each side of his head. A lion's skin hangs from his shoulders, with a solid head which snarls savagely. He wears a bell-shaped shako, long tight trousers strapped under boots, and immense spurs. His left arm, terminating in a huge fist, is extended horizontally. On the left a knock-kneed yokel with bristling moustaches and wearing the cap of a Death's Head hussar, grins in oafish delight, saying, "Well done Col.! well done our side!!! my Zoul! what Honnor this will bring upon our Corpse!!! and if any more Dwarfs or Devils attack's our Regemunt Lord Grant'them all the zame fate, I zay!!" Wooler stands among piles of his paper, 'Black Dwarf', some of which have various inscriptions: 'Strictures on the York Hussars'; 'York you are not wanted'; 'The Devil to Pay'; 'a Lame Story to the Yellow Bonze at Japan'; 'universal Suffrage'; and (adapting 'As You Like It'), 'Then a Soldier, full of Strong Oaths & bearded like the Pard Jealous in Honor Sudden & quick in quarrel seeking the bubble Reputation Ev'n in the printing office'. He wears an ink-pot for hat, with three large pen-feathers; at his waist is a tricolour cockade. On the wall behind him is a framed picture of 'The Yellow Bonze', a grotesque imp, squatting with outspread fingers, and registering surprise. Below is a broadside headed by figures hanging from a gallows."--British Museum online catalogue

"A John Bull rides a 'Velocimanipede', see No. 13411, round the basin in Bushey Park, which is realistically depicted, with its baroque centre-piece. He is a fat 'cit' mopping his forehead; his wig and hat are on a stick fixed in front of the steering-bar. On the seat, labelled 'J.B', his fat wife sits holding a fan, her arm round a thin little girl holding a doll. In the dickey behind (right) is a little boy working the handles which turn the back wheel. In the background across the water is a similar machine, on a tiny scale, followed by a dandy (see No. 13029) on his 'hobby' (see No. 13399)."--British Museum online catalogue

"A dandy (cf.

The gig is drawn (left to right) by men riding a velocipede (see British Museum Satires No. 13399) for five, the double bar converging to form a front seat for a single rider. Each man holds a steering handle. They wear jockeys' costume. Two liveried grooms on velocipedes follow the carriage; one is a negro. In the background, the farther side of the course is lined with tiny figures riding velocipedes."--British Museum online catalogue

"One dandy rides forward on a 'hobby', see British Museum Satires No. 13399, full-face, legs straddled, elbows akimbo. Another rides right to left, leaning back, just avoiding the former's back wheel, but striking the pole of his machine against the chest of a pedestrian who has tried to cross the road, and who screams with raised arms. In the background a third dandy (right) rides with bent knees and the back foot pointing upwards; a fourth (left) coasts with horizontal legs."--British Museum online catalogue
