Abstract:
"The infant King of Rome sits on the lap of his Governess to receive the compliments of a long procession of deputies. She offers the child's bare posterior, from which issues an explosion, to the lips of the foremost deputy who kneels obsequiously on a cushion. The child has his father's face, as in British Museum Satires No. 11719, &c., and wears a cocked hat and military tunic; he flourishes a rattle, ignoring the homage. The deputies all wear long robes over court dress with sword and are burlesqued; the second holds his nose, many take snuff. The long procession recedes in perspective (right). The Governess is also grotesque and elderly, wearing old-fashioned dress and an elaborate frilled cap. She sits on the little King's throne which is on a dais. It is topped by the iron crown of Italy with a sceptre and baton; on the back is an imperial eagle above a wreath enclosing the letters 'R R' [Rex Romae]. The leading deputy: "Madam Governess. not one of us can behold without a most lively interest, that August Infant--on whom rest so many Destinies, and whose Age and Charming--Qualiteys, inspires the Most tender Sentiments in the French and Surrounding Nations." She answers with a staring grin: "Monsieurs, --I thank you for the polite and flattering encomiums, You are pleased to bestow on me--I thank you in the Name of the Young Prince, Whoes Charms are Inexpressible. and regret that he can not add his personal sentiments to those which I entertain, to the--Legislative Body." Napoleon (left) watches the homage from behind a curtain which divides the child's throne from women who are washing the infant's napkins; he holds up a forefinger and stares intently. A disreputable old woman washing a tub-full of 'Shi--en Clouts' also watches; her tub rests on a low stool under which a dog urinates, and on which are bottle, glass, and snuff-box. Another, behind Napoleon, hangs 'Royal Clouts' on a line in front of a steaming copper. She says, "The Stench from the Young Urchin is intolerable--he smells like a pole Cat." A basket of 'Foul Linen' is on the ground."--British Museum online catalogue

"A pretty young woman (right) weeps, while her family discusses her 'Faux Pas'. He father seated next her, hands on knees, turns to look at her through spectacles, saying, "Come - come dont. mince the matter - since the thing is done it can't be undone - have not you had a Child." She answers: "Well Papa - suppose I have - It was but a Little One." Her mother, in plain, old-fashioned dress, clasps her hands weeping, and exclaims: "O! that I should live to see my Daughter found out." The brother, an ugly young man wearing top-boots, stands (left), saying angrily: "Dont tell me Sister - she was always a forward Hussey when she was down with me in the Country, she was always cutting out little Men, instead of minding her needle work - but however she is found out"."--British Museum online catalogue

"Scene at a conjurer's. A man covered with a shaggy skin, with bull's horns, stands in a circle, impersonating the Devil. A butcher cheers on his dog who is worrying the pseudo-Devil, while the conjurer (left), wearing robes and a fur cap, stands behind, in angry alarm. A stuffed crocodile, celestial globe, &c, decorate the room. An inscription relates at length that the butcher has gone to consult the conjurer about some lost sheep, when his dog springs at the 'Devil', thinking it is a bull; he detects the cheat and refuses to call off his dog. The prose narrative ends: 'so Dog against Devil, for what sum you please!'."--British Museum online catalogue
