"A cock with the head of Wellington stands tied to a peg, on a round board, supported on a low post (right). A short truculent-looking woman in a man's patched coat, with a bundle of sticks under her arm, stands beside the bird, which is undamaged and in fine feather; she invites its enemies to throw: 'Shy away he's a real good un.' An angry cleric, in shovel hat and apron, stands with a bundle of sticks under his arm; he says : 'I'll have every tenth throw.' "Paul Pry", one hand resting on his umbrella, stoops forward, about to throw a stick topped by a little figure of Wellington as a coachman, touching his hat, as in British Museum Satires No. 15731; his face is hidden by his raised arm. Behind him, three men confer conspiratorially, each with a stick, inscribed respectively 'Chronicle', 'Times', 'Herald'. In the foreground on the extreme left Cumberland, in hussar uniform, is in conversation with Eldon, who points over his shoulder with his thumb, and exclaims 'Lost my Stick!!!'."--British Museum online catalogue

"A farmer, wearing his hat, John Bullish and intimidating, hand resting on a cudgel, stands in a plainly furnished room staring fixedly at a closed door, at which a dog is sniffing. A plumed cocked hat, sword, and boots, just outside the door, tell their story. He says to a terrified maidservant who holds a lighted candle: 'Hulloa Girl! what the devil's all this?--Bring the light this way.--Where's your Mistress?--'. She answers: '--Why, Sir, She--she--she--sh--e--e--e--e--e--e--'. Above the hearth are two small pictures: 'Virtue Rewarded' and 'Village Innocence'. A wall clock points to 10.30. Through a casement window is seen a violent zigzag of lightning."--British Museum online catalogue

"The King's giraffe hangs limply from a sling which is suspended from a cross-beam supported on two uprights. George IV and Lady Conyngham push hard at a windlass to hoist up their pet. He has thrown off his coat and rolled up his shirt-sleeves; tight breeches define spherical posteriors. She looks up sentimentally at the animal, whose forelegs are swathed in stockings, with the feet in large shoes stamped with a crown. Beside it is an open chest of stoppered spirit bottles. A background of trees and grass indicates Windsor Park."--British Museum online catalogue

"A stout cylindrical shaft stretches across the upper part of the design, inscribed 'Manufactures & Commerce'. To this cling by both hands four ragged and desperate artisans, wearing aprons, but it has broken in the middle so that they, and others clinging to them, are about to fall into the swirling clouds at the base of the design. Two larger and stouter men, respectably dressed employers, cling frantically to the legs or garments of the four artisans. At the base of this inverted pyramid is a stout figure, half-bishop, half-King, clinging to coat-tails and pocket of the two men above him. A bloated episcopal face is half covered by a battered crown (right), while a large mitre tilts to the left, and the figure, Church and State, is clothed half in surplice (left), half in ermine-trimmed robe, with one episcopal leg, and one leg with a garter inscribed '[Hon]i Soit' [George IV as in British Museum Satires No. 15819 by the same artist]. Above the broken shaft is a large irradiated inscription: 'Manufactures & Commerce support the Workmen | they the Merchants & Masters who are the | chief tax payers & thereby support | The great tax eater Church-and- State.'"--British Museum online catalogue

"Above the design: '"Take heed, have open eyes; for thieves do foot abroad [sic]. Shakespeare' ['Merry Wives', II. i] 'Render unto Seizer those things which are Seizers.' A bishop (right), wearing apron and shovel-hat, brandy-faced and scowling, walks to the right, using a cane. Dodging behind are Wellington and Peel as ragged pickpockets. The Duke wears a cap, a dilapidated military coat, and old white trousers; twitching a handkerchief from the bishop's coat-tail pocket he says: 'I say Bob-I'll have a dash at the Parsons now.' Peel, dressed as the "Cad" of BM Satires No. 15734, &c, says: 'Odd Rat 'em-I'm afeard on 'em.' The bishop claps his hand over his breeches pocket and scowls; he says: 'Two very suspicious looking fellows-dodging me about-I hope they are not going to pick my pocket.'"--British Museum online catalogue and A bishop wearing an apron walks to the right.
