Abstract:
"A lawyer, spectacles on forehead, seated in an arm-chair by a blazing fire (right), listens with quizzically twisted mouth and folded hands to a visitor with a grievance. Between them is a table with glasses, spirit-bottle, as well as a newspaper under the lawyer's elbow. His friend (left) leans forward, gesticulating, to say: "My dear Friend Quilldrive,-- I have a Melancholy affair to communicate, I had put by just five hundred Guineas purposely for Law, and some villian has robb'd me of every farthing!-- what would you advise me to do in this distressing case?" The other answers: "Why--I'd advise you, instead of desponding, to rejoice & sing, for depend upon it, you are a gainer by the loss!!!" A dog, his collar inscribed 'Quild[rive]' sits opposite the fire. On the chimney-piece are a clock and a china mandarin."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A design with much-burlesqued 'Lilliputian' figures with large heads, as British Museum Satires No. 9635, &c, but grotesquely elongated as in British Museum Satires No. 10604, &c. In the foreground (left) are four card-players at a round table lit by two candles. One man (left) is in military uniform, with a pigtail, trousers and tied shoes; he and his partner (right) are pleased: she says: "I lead trump"; he says: "A charming hand this time however". A man in back view wears an enormous bag-wig, the bag covering the back of his chair; he says: "Worse and worse". His melancholy partner says: "I never held such cards in my Life." Behind the lady on the right stands a footman holding a salver with three tall glasses of wine; he yawns cavernously: "Ya, ha!" In the middle distance (right) an bows to a lady who curtseys; he says: "I never saw your Ladyship look more beautiful will you take cards or dance." She answers: "Neither my Lord at Present." A cut-glass chandelier with four tall candles hangs above their heads. Behind is an ornate archway through which is seen a ball-room with a musicians' gallery and grotesque dancers. On the extreme right is a side-table with decanters, candles, a stand of jelly-glasses."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Abstract:
"A burlesque election scene, most of the figures having large grotesque heads, similar to those in British Museum Satires Nos. 10604, 10663. On the right a corner of the hustings is indicated by a rail behind which stand the candidate and three of his supporters. One of the latter, next the silent candidate, addresses the people below: "I have now Gentlemen the honor to propose to you my friend next me Solomon Sheepface Esqr of Sheepface Hall, you are all well acquainted with his disposition, he is so harmless he would not hurt a Worm, - once elected he will say Aye or No just as the occasion may require." The candidate has an expression of bewildered melancholy. Five men form the audience, one shouts "No Sheepface"; another waves his hat, shouting, "Sheepface for ever Huzza". On the left two men gaze at a large election poster on a wall: 'To the Worthy and Independent Electors of the Borough of Long Heads Gentlemen your Votes and Interest in favor of Solomon Sheepface'. A little boy picks the pocket of one of the gazers. In the middle a ragged ballad-seller bawls to an audience of three boys: 'The same is entitled and called No Bribery, a new Song, to an Old tune.' In the background a crowd is faintly indicated."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The representatives of six of the Allies, the most prominent being John Bull, stand on a bluff (left) tugging at a rope by which they pull a row of seven uniform Dutch men-of-war from the opposite coast. The ships are small, their sails are inflated by a favourable wind; they fly Dutch flags, one inscribed 'Texell Fleet'; John Bull, a stout 'cit', pulls side by side with a Spaniard in slashed tunic, ruff, and feathered hat. Behind this pair a Russian wearing a fur hood steadies the rope. A Prussian Death's Head Hussar hauls at the end of the rope, his back to the sea, but looking over his shoulder. Beside him is an Austrian officer, while a Portuguese or Sicilian waves a feathered cap. On the extreme right, behind the Dutch fleet, are two little figures making frantic gestures: Napoleon waving his sword exclaims: "Oh Brother Joe--I'm all Fire, My Passion eats me up Such unlooked for Storms of ills fall on me It beats down all my cunning, I cannot bear it My ears are fill'd with Noise my Eyes grow dim And feeble shakings seize every Limb." Joseph stands behind, his crown at his feet, saying: "Oh Brother Nap Brother Nap we shant be left with half a Crown apiece [see British Museum Satires No. 12068]." The ships are filled with Dutch sailors; others are on the shore (right) pushing at the stern of the nearest ship in order to launch her. This partly obscures the others, which are in line, diminishing in perspective. A ship's boat rows towards the horizon. A large sun (right), irradiated and inscribed 'Sunset of Tyranny', sinks into the sea. Between it and the coast (left) is a row of five men-of-war at anchor, flying the flags of the Allies, their poops in a line. The ship on the right, nearest Holland, flies a Russian flag, the next, with the highest masts, flies British flags. In the foreground (left), lying at the base of the bluff on which the Allies stand, are two casks inscribed 'Real Hollands Best Double Proof' and 'Genuine Spirit Neat as Imported'."--British Museum online catalogue
