Caricature with Queen Caroline (left) as Lady Macbeth in the mad scene, standing in the street before two shops; she holds a candlestick raised in her right hand as she holds out her dress with her left hand, looking down horror at her skirt which is decorated with three panels with images of men and labeled "Man B", "Austi", "Sapio", "Mat ...", and "Bat". The initials "C.B" are embroidered on the trim of her knickers. Standing to her right is an astonished John Bull who holds his hat in front of his face, arm extended in horror. The shop on the left is identified by a sign below second story windows with broken glass: Wholesale Dealer in Brass Forges, Ranges, &c N.B. Odd jobs in general. The street level is shuttered, its doors covered in graffiti: Gone away, Gone abroad, Empty, M.T. The one door has a knocker in the shape of a ram's head. John Bull stands before the second door which stands open as if he has just emerged. The windows are curtained and the building well maintained. The large sign above reads "Time & Common-Sense Occulists. N.B. Films expeditiously removed &c. Below this sign (left) is a pair of large spectacles with the two eyeballs turned towards the shop on the left and a smaller sign (right) that reads "No connexion with the next shop."

"A section cut from British Museum Satires No. 11888, with alterations. The King (apart from the removal of the coral and bells), Lord and Lady Hertford, and Yarmouth are as before, though the former Hertfords now stand for Conynghams (see British Museum Satires No. 13847), and Yarmouth (presumably) becomes Lord Francis Conyngham. The other adjacent figures are removed. The pavilion is still inscribed 'He[rtford] Nursery'. The design extends from the middle of the left support of the pavilion, which is however removed, except for the head and shoulder of the woman supporting the drapery, to the right edge of the right support of the pavilion, which is as before, with satyrs, infant Bacchus, and nude women; the emblem of fool's cap, &c., is unaltered. The King says to Lady Conyngham: "My dear Coney you are my life, my soul, my only Joy if business did not call me from hence--I would never leave you, what with my Wife and the Cabinet together I have no peace except in your dear arms." She answers: "Really my love you give way to fear take another glass--you have nothing to dread, we shall soon dispose of that vile woman--in my arms you are safe, continue with me at the Nursery, and we will soon form a new Cabinet if it is necessary." The antlered Lord Conyngham, grovelling on the ground behind his wife, says: "I have got into snug quarters, Lady C-- knows how to manage him--he is welcome to occupy my premises as long as he pleases.""--British Museum online catalogue

"The Queen (left) and King sit side by side on a double throne, almost back to back, while turning their eyes warily towards each other. They wear royal robes, the King is caricatured; at his knee is a rosette in the centre of which a bottle is depicted; he holds orb and sceptre. She is comely but stout, her dress unduly defining her figure. The Archbishop, gross and bloated, stands behind the throne, sourly placing a large crown on the King's head. The Queen, who holds a fan, says: Oh! the Brute, but I'll teaze him. He says: What a D--n'd thing I cannot shake her off, she is as artfull as the Devil,--curse Matrimony."--British Museum online catalogue

"George IV sits in a four-wheeled light cart, inscribed Goods, drawn by loyal Hanoverians; it is covered by a canopy supported on poles. He sits on a high seat with his back to the shafts, scattering gold coins, which Londonderry (Castlereagh), who faces him on a lower seat, ladles into his lap. In the cart, besides a pile of coins, are packages and a basket of bottles of Brandy. The King: We have got the Means of Replenishing behind, throw away--Hurrah my Lads, we'll make Soldiers of you & take a few thousands in to our pay. The 'means' are the heavy burdens on the back of John Bull, an emaciated bull, marked I.B, tied to the cart, and weighed down with enormous bundles of taxes inscribed: Leather Tax Soap, Salt Tax; Candles Tax Beer Malt Light; Ale &c &c &c &c &c; Taxes Taxes Taxes. The bull plods along, with broken knees, shedding tears. The cheering Hanoverians catch the golden shower in their hats; the most prominent wears smart but mended German uniform of hussar type. One says: He is indeed a Hanoverian at Heart; another answers: No, He is an Irish Man he says [cf. British Museum Satires No. 14246, &c]. A third: Why some Years ago he said he & his Brother William were the only ones in the Family who were not Germans. The King wears a coat of foreign cut, with a round (Teutonic) cap, and smokes a long German pipe with covered bowl. A little ragged boy collects coins in an apron. A peasant woman (right) with an apronful of coins, holds one up, shouting Aye this is a proof of the excessive Riches of England."--British Museum online catalogue
