A grotesque caricature attacking the much-debated 1820 settlement scheme which encouraged English people to settle in South Africa, where they were promised fertile land and a pleasant climate. In the print, a working-class English family are shown being attacked by a snake, lion and crocodile while highly stereotyped and racist depictions of the local population are seen cannibalizing the family and burning down their home

"Prince Leopold sits enthroned, flanked by his new subjects; he wears uniform with a crown, and sits on a two-tiered circular dais in a chair of state, the seat of which is covered with giant thorns. Punctured and frightened, he grasps the arms of his chair with crisped fingers; his toes are drawn back, touching the ground, and he looks towards a savage-looking Greek (right) who kneels before him with a long knife held behind his back. A similar ruffian kneels on the left; others approach menacingly from the left, one smoking a long pipe and grasping a knife. They wear Greek costume with embroidered jackets and full white breeches. On the right are long-robed ecclesiastics, headed by a bearded patriarch with a cross in one hand, a knife in the other."--British Museum online catalogue
"The platform extends across the centre of the design. Below are the audience, three-quarter length and half-length, standing and seated. A man in patched clothes stands in the front of the semicircle of men seated on the platform, holding out his empty breeches pockets. With sanctimonious melancholy he says: Oh! my Bretheren! in that black and benighted land of Ireland have the Servants of the Lord fought the good fight! For behold! we have wrestled lustily with the Wh--re! Yea, with the Scarlet Wh--re! and behold, from the pestiferous abominations of papistry, Millions have we gather'd to the fold, of Starving Souls who yearned for the Word!--but yet my Bretheren! 6 times 999000 still worship in the temple of Dagon!--still dwell in the tabernacles of the Enemy!--still hang over the Gulf! and shall they Tumble therin? even into the brimstone and the desolation & ye Confla=ge=ra=tion? No! No! No!--but alas! the Vinyard of the Lord is deserted, for the labourer lacketh his hire! Open thy purse strings Oh Israel! and let ye Mamon of the World be converted into the Sweet Manna of Justification! for lo! there is no Corn in Egypt, and the pockets of the faithful are lank and unreplemished [sic], yea even as the Udders of the Seven Starving kine in the Vision of King Pharoah!!! Those on the platform listen in pious gloom. In the centre are two stout bishops with a lean minister (? Irving) between them, dressed like a minister of the Scottish Church. The others are gaunt, elderly, in plain old-fashioned dress with knee-breeches. One (left) (who resembles Liston as Maw-worn in Bickerstaffe's 'The Hypocrite'), with lank hair resting on his shoulders, fingers clasped and thumbs together, says: That Man's a Saint, if ever there was a Saint. Another says oh! oh! The rest listen in silence. On the platform is a pile of books, three inscribed Bible, two Tracts, one Prayer. A man brings in on his shoulders a large basket inscribed Food for the Starving Irish, heaped with similar books, with a great preponderance of Bibles. Among the audience stands a man with a collecting-plate heaped with sovereigns; coins and a note are contributed. The audience listen intently or converse gloomily. A paper hangs from the platform: Paddy, Mullagan Converted by a Pair of Leather Breeches--Biddy Quin by a Peticoat and a Pair of Shoes."--British Museum online catalogue

A satire of a Gretna Green marriage, taking place in front of smithy's shop. Erskine, disguised in woman's dress with a huge feathered bonnet over a barrister's wig, holds the right hand of a demure-looking woman, modishly dressed and apparently pregnant. He holds a paper: 'Breach of Promise'. With them are three young children. The smith wears Highland dress; he holds a red-hot bar on the anvil and raises his hammer, saying, "I shall make a good thing of this Piece at last." Erskine says: "I have bother'd the Courts in London many times, I'll now try my hand at the Scotch Bar--as to Miss C-- she may do her worst since I have got my Letters back." The woman says: "Now who dare say, Blacks the White of my Eye." In the background (right) a young woman rushes down a slope towards the smithy, shouting, "Oh Stop Stop Stop, false Man, I will yet seek redress tho you have got back your letters--" Beside her is a sign-post pointing 'To Gretna Green'. A little boy with Erskine's features, wearing tartan trousers, stands on tip-toe to watch the smith; on the ground beside him is a toy (or emblem), a cock on a pair of breeches. A little girl stands by her mother nursing a doll fashionably dressed as a woman, but with Erskine's profile. Another boy with a toy horse on a string stands in back view watching 'Miss C'. Behind the smith is the furnace; on the wall hang many rings: 'Rings to fit all Hands.'

He displays them to their modern descendants, a tall stout Frenchman plainly dressed, wearing cocked hat and military boots, who stands with his arm on the shoulder of a thin, wretched, shambling, Englishman, small, ugly, and foppish, his hand thrust through an empty pocket. The magician has a beard, but features, cocked hat, consular dress, and sabre indicate Napoleon. He asks: "Are you satisfied Gentlemen?" The apparitions (left) are a grossly obese Englishman in old-fashioned dress, a cane hanging from his right wrist, and an ugly, tall, cadaverous, and foppish Frenchman holding a snuffbox. They say, respectively: "Is that my Grandson Jack? what a skeleton!!!"; "Ah mon Cousin, vat you eat de Beef & Plum Pudding!!"

"Napoleon, pushing an officer before him through a pillared doorway, looks back to speak to a monk and a sansculotte, shackled together, who drag a car in which is an imperial crown. They hold a large scroll inscribed: 'Most religious Sovereign - the benefactor of the church - the patron of liberty - the scourge of tyrants, and the defender of our most holy religion; may you long fill the Imperial Chair, and diffuse over a free and happy people all the blessings of your auspicious government.' Demons fly round a tricolour flag which floats from the car. Napoleon holds out a scroll headed: 'Address, &c. &c. &c. The Legions of France congratu - ', saying, "This token of your gratitude, my dear subjects will ever stimulate me to protect your liberties - to promote your happiness - and to preserve my empire from the ravages of war, tyranny and oppression." The officer, with a cynical smile, says: "Patron of Liberty - Defender of our most holy Religion - free and happy People - Ha! ha! ha! - What may we not expect? - Has he not got them under excellent subjection?" On the left is Napoleon's 'Secret Chamber': a table is covered with maps and plans; a large map, partly unrolled, shows Europe from '[En]gland to [Tur]key', including the 'Black Sea'; another map shows 'Suez' and the 'Red Sea'. A demon under the table holds up a large pile of papers: 'Plans against England'; on the floor are similar piles: 'Religion' and 'Treaties'. There are also 'Plans against Germany and Turkey', and a paper: 'Mem. the chance of the conquest of England is worth the sacrifice of one third of the people of France. Item. As Charlemaine not only conquered Italy, but the whole of Germany, and left the Imperial dignity hereditary in the Sovereigns of France, it is indispensably necessary to obtain possession of Germany, in order to support the dignity of the Gallic empire.' On the wall are three pictures: 'Sacking of Rome', 'Dissolution of the National Assembly' [see British Museum Satires No. 9426, &c], and 'View of Cairo' [see British Museum Satires No. 9358, &c.]. Below the design: 'Explanation.

The Demons hovering over the Imperial Crown denote Five Years of Destruction; during which Period Bonaparte will overrun and ravage the greater Part of the Continent of Europe, be the Means of nearly depopulating Turkey, and finally be slain with the Sword, be cast out as an abominable Branch, and be left as Dung to rot on the Face of the Earth."--British Museum online catalogue

An illustrated manuscript leaf in an 18th-century hand. In the upper portion of the recto side is a large vignette of a man in traditional Jewish garb, seated at a table, weighing coins as they spill from two cornucopias, one to each side and held by a cherub whose faces are turned away; the table is covered with coins. The prose text below is captioned "Covetousness" and consists of seven lines beginning: "Every step that a man makes beyond a moderate & reasonable Provision, is taking so much from the worthiness of his own spirit. ..." This quote is taken from an popular 18th-century British courtesy book that appeared in many editions but was first published in 1715.: The Gentleman's Library, containing rules for conduct in all parts of life. The scribe writes using Gothic lettering in pen and brown ink and decorates the perimeter of the text and image with billowing flourishes. Printed above in a ribbon banner is a saying from Horace, "certum voto pete finem"--"set a definite limit to your desire."

Abstract:
Four rows of designs with one to three designs in each, individually titled. In the upper left and reading across, "Daddy Longlegs" shows a very think, long-legged man poised to smash the insect on his wall. To the right, on top "The itinerant chanceller" is a scene with a cricketer about to bat a large ball and below a scene with men wearing Dutch-style hats watch as one of the group takes a small ball and readies to bowl down a stand of large, egg-shaped objects. On the far right of the first row, a portly man greets a thin, frail man with wings as ears that extend above his hat, wearing glasses and leaning on a cane. The larger man says "Bless my soul Mr. Pidgeonwidgen! How do ye do. Well now, you look uncommon well considering your Ears." On the second row left, “Follow my leader”, the top image shows a thin man laboring up a hill as he pulls a very large man seated and reading at ease in the a four-wheeled chair. Below three men carrying guns stand up to their necks in a river having followed a taller man in a top hat calmly walking ahead. The speech balloon above their heads reads, “Didn't I tell ye it was only up to the middle.” The first smaller man replies, “The middle indeed. Why we are up to our necks d'ye think our legs are stilts like yours.” In the middle of the second row, A very thin man in Scotish costume (Henry Brougham, 1st Baron Brougham and Vaux?) striding vigorously using a broom as a walking stick and burdened with boxes and bags on his back and waist, labelled “Freedoms of Scotch Towns”, “Broken Vituals the remnants of the Edinburgh Gorge.”, and “Proceeds of the Penny Mag.” The caption below reads, “I flatter myself I've made a tolerable good job by my “Starring it” with Old Grey in the North. Sold all my numbers of the Penny Mag. and well puff'd it thro' applause with the ex-premier. Received some score of Burgesses, Freedoms, and Invitations to as many dinners where I blew my own trumpet & obtain'd plenty of orders from our 'Usefull Knowledge Society', now “woe” to the unstamn'd when I get home.” The last image in row two, on the right, is un-captioned and shows a devil riding behind a horseman bolting across an evening sky. Below two men peak through tall grass and observe an otter and The third row contains a single image captioned “Something like a chase” which shows horsemen following their hounds across a field and over a fence, many of whom have fallen their horses or encountered other types of accidents and falls. In the distance is a small sign indicating that they rode from Wombell's. In the last row, on the left, two men, one with a gun with a barrel turned at 90 degrees, peak out from around the corner of a building, looking at a rooster and some chickens. The caption reads, “Paddy's gun, warranted to shoot around the corner.” The first man says, “Put ye spalpeen, wat are you after, if you let it off, by my soul it'll blow ye to de Divil.” To which the man with the gun replies, “Ock, come out now and hav'nt I made it into a 'Patent Cylindrical Twisted Barrel Gun' and dont day shoot de best, ye Murphy digger.” In the middle of the bottom row, is an image of a constable apprehending a frightened chimney sweep, with the caption “Reforming the Clergy”. The constable says, “Come along, you've hacted contrary to the Hact of Parlyment in crying out “Sweep”. There's 40 bob for ye or else a month in Quad." To which the sweep replies, “Oh criky, don't grab me this here vunce and I'll no not never cry Sweep agin. Vot's us poor flue-sakers to do if as how ve don't cry summut all for to let the people know or how ve are in the streets.” Two other laborers, another sweep and a swag man, in the distance on the right and left, observe “Does any lady or Gemmen's flue pipe vont expurgating.” The other says, “The law have mercy on us.” The third and final image at the end of the fourth row has the caption “A Crack Shot” with an image of a man with a caricatured face and a top hat, holding a gun in his hands and an umbrella between his legs as he stands before a door, the top half of which is open; a bird in a cage hangs to the side of the door. The speech balloon above his head reads, “There's one at last, the only chance of a shy I've had to day. There's nobody here, he, he, Now if I don't flummox ye my pink, say my mother has'nt sold her mangle

"Perceval, as Don Quixote, stands in front of the Treasury, giving his orders for the forthcoming session. Facing him, Ministerial members (right) stand at attention, clasping rolled documents, all inscribed 'Ministerial Military Exercise Aye & No', as if they were muskets; one is in Highland dress. A further phalanx in the background is on Perceval's left. He wears armour, with Mambrino's helmet (the barber's basin) and holds erect a tilting-lance, which serves as staff for the Royal Standard. His left hand, holding a 'Muster Roll', rests on his hip. Behind him, pen in hand, and with a pen behind the ear, the two Treasury Secretaries stand stiffly, each with a large book, one 'Names of Staunch Men', the other 'Names of Deserters'. On the extreme left and in the foreground George Rose stoops over a large 'Military Chest', filled with bank-notes, which he holds out towards the Ministerial troops. On the ground beside him lies a rose labelled 'A Rose in January'. Behind him, lurking in a gateway, is Melville, in Highland dress, with two similarly clad Scots peering over his shoulder. He says: "An Ye should want a set of braw fellows fit for ony service, I ha them here ready for ye". On Perceval's left is a mounted officer (Montrose) holding a paper inscribed 'Treaty for an Armistice for 14 days if Necessary'. Beside him is a mounted trumpeter. Perceval says: "Now my Lads lets see if you are perfect in your Exercise!!! You will stick close right or wrong". All answer "Aye. Nor refuse a good place when it is offered". All answer "No. Of course all I say is truth". All answer "Aye, Nor you wont let the Enemy Contradit me". All answer "No".

"The candidate, stout and plainly dressed stands on a cask, bawling with outstretched hand at his audience, who are grouped below him, their heads only appearing, except for figure in the foreground.

"An elderly Scots bonnet laird or farmer stands repeating the song, which is a complaint of the extravagance and misconduct of his wife. He wears a round Scots bonnet and a tartan plaid over his coat, long stockings, and shoes tied with strings, tattered gloves from which his fingers protrude; a cane is suspended from his left wrist. He holds in his left hand a small tankard with an open lid indicating in London 'a dram' or gin. In the background is a small house, partly visible on the left, outside which stands the wife, drunk and flourishing a similar tankard; a wine-bottle lies at her feet, a man leans from the window. On the right is a farm building wiuth a horse, two cows, and a broken fence. In the foreground right is a large thistle."--British Museum catalogue
