Abstract:
"Canning, as Phaeton, drives his chariot with four horses abreast on a curving track across the heavens, slanting upwards across the design from left. to r. On this are signs of the zodiac; other constellations of the zodiac are on the darkened sky, above and below the path of Phaeton; all assail him. The base of the design is part of the northern hemisphere, showing the world in flames, and flanked by the ghosts of Pitt and Fox. In the lower left. corner is the ghost of Pitt as Apollo (half length); he weeps, dropping his lyre, and raises his shroud to gaze up at his son, Phaeton. He is surrounded by heavy clouds. In the opposite corner, the head and shoulders of Fox as 'Pluto', holding a pitchfork, emerge from flames: he looks up with sinister anxiety at the conflict in the heavens. Canning's head is the centre of an irradiated sun: 'The Sun of Anti-Jacobinism.' He is heroic, youthful, and naked, except for floating draperies. Above him (l.) is a crescent moon. His horses have human heads set behind equine jaws and nostrils which jet flame. They are (l. to r.): Hawkesbury, Perceval, Castlereagh (with a profile expressive of nobility), Eldon (sub-human). Flame streams backwards from the chariot wheels; the wheels pass over the (dismantled) scales, 'Libra-Britannicus' [British justice], one scale inscribed 'Copenhagen'. Close behind the chariot the British Lion, 'Leo Britannicus', rushes furiously; on the chariot's track, facing the horses, is the Ram (faintly sketched). Behind this is Taurus, a ferocious Irish bull, snorting fire at the horses. His collar is inscribed 'Erin go Bragh'; from it flies a rosary; to his tail is tied a pot inscribed 'Emancipation'. The most conspicuous assailant of the horses is 'Scorpio Broad-Bottom', with the head of Grenville, the words inscribed on the two ferocious claws, in which his arms terminate. (He is the Scorpion who 'bends out his arms into two bows, . . . [and] spreads over the space of two signs'.) The body spirals into a barbed tail, emitting names close to Fox. Smaller claws terminate in human heads (below, l. to r.): Temple, Spencer (both spitting fire), Bedford; (above, l. to r.): Moira, Tierney. Covering Grenville's posterior is an irregular circle. In its centre is an irradiated ring enclosing a chalice with the Host; round this are irradiated heads: Grafton, Stanhope, Derby, Carlisle, Norfolk, Holland. Flame and a barbed tongue issue from Grenville's mouth. ..."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Fox makes a speech in the House of Commons; a large section of the crowded Opposition benches is shown (r.). Pitt sits alone on the Treasury Bench, his profile only appearing on the extreme left.; the rest of the Ministerial benches are cut off by the margin, behind him is the Speaker's Chair, with the tiny head of Abbot surrounded by a vast wig, appearing just over the table. From the table hangs a scroll: 'Resolutions respecting the Chancellor of the Exchequer - 40000 - Bank of England - Boyd & Benf[ield] - Trotter - Jellicoe - Speculation - Participation'. Fox, corpulent, neat, and composed, stands with his right. hand extended towards Pitt, his left. behind his back and holding a paper: 'Arraignments [sic] for a new Coalition'. His words ascend and are enclosed in a large label in the upper part of the design: '" - Yes Sir, I do assure the Right Honble Gent" \ "though our lives have ever been opposite, though in \ "almost every instance we have disagreed, & though I have \ "constantly blamed the whole of his conduct, yet I should \ "be everlastingly unhappy had it turned out that he had \ "acted wrong or had soiled his hands in the manner we \ "meant to attribute to him; - I do say Sir, that during \ "my whole life, I never did suspect, I never had the least \ "suspicion of any thing dishonorable in the Right Honble Gent" - \ "and from every species of Corruption, I do declare most \ "solemnly, my mind has always most completely \ "acquitted him! - he will be held up to posterity \ "and cited as a bright example of Purity Integrity and Honor!' On his seat lies his hat; in this is a large bundle of papers: 'Political Union, to save the Country from Buonaparte and the Doctor'. On the ground beside it lies a large overturned tankard of 'Whitbread's Entire', whose contents froth over the floor. Long narrow labels ascend from other M.P.s. Pitt says "Here! - Here! - Here!!!", touching with his finger the vacant place beside him, inviting Fox to take it. Next Fox's hat and on the extreme right. sits Grey clutching his cocked hat with papers: 'State of . . . Na[tion]'; 'Enquiries into the Public Offices'. He says: "Yes I find they'll be all prov'd Honest, so I'll destroy my Papers too!" Next, partly concealed by Fox, slouches Sheridan; he is silent (opposed to any praise of Pitt, especially from Fox). Next sits Tierney, hands on knees, saying sanctimoniously, "O how I shall enjoy to sit down with him, upon the Bench of Honesty". Next sits Lord Henry Petty, hands folded, feet together, saying priggishly, "an Immaculate Statesman! - just like my own Papa" [Lansdowne, or 'Malagrida']. On the second bench Windham sits behind Fox's empty seat, biting a pen; he holds 'Notes and Speeches for the Political Register', and says: "Why, he deserves a Statue of Gold more than Porcupine himself!" Next, little Wilberforce claps tiny hands, saying, "O he's an Angel of Light! - a Cherubim of Glory!" Beside him is Erskine, saying, "he scorns a dirty Cause, I vow to G-d". The other members are freely drawn and scarcely characterized, though Walpole (behind Windham) is identified by his small size, sharp nose, cocked hat, and regimentals; next him is a stout man in spectacles resembling Lord Temple. Heads look down from the gallery in the upper right. corner of the design."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Grenville (r.) displays a dancing bear with the head of Fox enclosed in a muzzle. He holds a chain attached to the muzzle and a long heavy staff: 'Cudgel for Disobedient Bears'. The bear obediently and clumsily repeats the dancing-step of his master; he holds in both paws his bonnet rouge trimmed with tricolour, and tramples upon two torn and discarded songs: 'Caira, Ca . . .' [see BMSat 9735] and 'A Begging we will go' [an allusion to the subscription raised for Fox in 1793 [This is confirmed by Lord Holland.]: see BMSat 8331, &c., and cf. BMSat 9885]. The bear and Grenville face each other in profile; the latter is neatly dressed, wearing top-boots with round hat and bag-wig. In his pocket is a book: 'Rewards for Obedient Bears'. He says: "dont be afraid of my Bear, Ladies & Gentlemen! \ "I have tamed & muzzled tarn, & reformed his Habits." The rest of the troupe is on the left, behind the bear's back. An ape with the head of Lord Henry Petty, and wearing the gown of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, capers in time, clasping the bear's stump of tail, and holding up, with a delighted grin, a fool's cap trimmed with bells. The music is provided by Sidmouth, a ragged fiddler, with a patch over eye. He stands on the pavement, his head in profile to the right., wearing cocked hat, bag-wig, and Windsor uniform, with tattered breeches, and a foot projecting through a remnant of boot. His r. knee rests on a wooden leg or stump. He plays 'God save the King' [as a protégé of George III]; from his the pocket hangs a paper: 'Pray remember your poor and Old Blind-Fiddler'. On the wall behind him are three bills: (1) 'Pro Bono Publico - Superbly fine Exhibition, at the Bear Garden, Broad-bottom'd Alley. - Orpheus Charming the Brutes, with a Grand Accompaniment by Dr Sangrado [Sidmouth]'. (2) 'in the Press. - Pease Soup or Bruins Delight - a Ballad [cf. BMSat 9848]'. (3) 'Bubble & Squeak, a Duet.' ..."--British Museum online catalogue

This lower scale contains the 'Broad-Bottomites' ie the Grenvillites, or New Opposition, the other, the 'No-Bottomites', i.e. the Foxites, or Old Opposition.

Abstract:
"The procession has advanced to the door of a church (r.) which a parson closes, dropping his prayer-book, open at the 'Burial Service'. Only his arms and robe are visible; he says: " - no Burial here, for Broad-Bottom: - he died a Roman; - besides, - 'tis a felo-de-se case; - take him to the next 4 cross-roads; & the Family has a large Stake always ready!" Only the acolyte at the head of the procession has realized this check: little Lord Henry Petty drops his bell and candle and capers in dismay. The three pall-bearers (a fourth is hidden behind the coffin) are (l. to r.) Sidmouth, Lord St. Vincent, and Windham. All wear mourning hats, scarves, and cloaks, and clutch handkerchiefs, weeping large tears. Below the coffin are seen the robes and bare sandalled feet of monks. On the top of the coffin is Grenville, face downwards, and showing the back of his wig, and a dome- shaped hump denoting his famous 'broad-bottom' (see BMSat 10530). At the four corners are ostrich plumes. On a placard on the side of the pall: 'Gul: Baro: de Broad-Bottom Obiit die Martis 24° A: D. 1807'. Behind the coffin walks the Pope, in his tiara and robes, weeping and supported between the Marquis of Buckingham and his son Lord Temple. Both weep with gestures of extravagant grief; both are dressed as priests. Behind, thin and ascetic, is Howick, a barefooted monk, holding up the Pope's long robes. Behind walk arm-in-arm, both shambling and dissipated, Sheridan clutching a bottle of 'Brandy' and General Fitzpatrick, from whose pocket hangs a paper: 'Tears of Hedge Lane' [a squalid resort of prostitutes in Westminster]. Both wear mourning hats, scarves, and cloaks. Next, Erskine and Ellenborough walk together; Erskine claps to his eye his beloved and discarded Chancellor's wig. At the end of the procession and on the extreme left. are Lauderdale and Moira wearing his cocked hat with a mourning scarf and cloak. All weep, registering deep distress. There is a landscape background."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The procession has advanced to the door of a church (r.) which a parson closes, dropping his prayer-book, open at the 'Burial Service'. Only his arms and robe are visible; he says: " - no Burial here, for Broad-Bottom: - he died a Roman; - besides, - 'tis a felo-de-se case; - take him to the next 4 cross-roads; & the Family has a large Stake always ready!" Only the acolyte at the head of the procession has realized this check: little Lord Henry Petty drops his bell and candle and capers in dismay. The three pall-bearers (a fourth is hidden behind the coffin) are (l. to r.) Sidmouth, Lord St. Vincent, and Windham. All wear mourning hats, scarves, and cloaks, and clutch handkerchiefs, weeping large tears. Below the coffin are seen the robes and bare sandalled feet of monks. On the top of the coffin is Grenville, face downwards, and showing the back of his wig, and a dome- shaped hump denoting his famous 'broad-bottom' (see BMSat 10530). At the four corners are ostrich plumes. On a placard on the side of the pall: 'Gul: Baro: de Broad-Bottom Obiit die Martis 24° A: D. 1807'.

Abstract:
"Cobbett, driving four ringed hogs, leads (r. to left.) a procession cheered by an enormous crowd. He sits on a 'Political Hog Trough' which rests on a low platform mounted on four solid wheels. Behind him stands Windham, wearing (ironically) a bonnet rouge, and holding up a large scroll inscribed: 'Loyal-Petition of ye Noble and truely Independent-Hogs of Hampshire - Humbly shewing, that the Convention with Junot, was a cursed Humbug upon Old-England! - & that the Three damn'd Convention-Signers ought to be Hanged Drawn & Quarterd without Judge or Jury'. Issues of Cobbett's paper fall to the ground from his seat, all headed 'Cobbett's Political Register' or 'Cobbett's Register' and continuing 'Ignorance of the Ministry', 'Ignorance of the British Command', 'Ignorance of the Admiralty', 'Letter to Sir Rd Phillips', 'Letter to the Duke of York', and 'State of the Army & Navy'. Cobbett is not caricatured and has a complacent expression. Three members of the Opposition push behind at his 'Hog Trough'. They are Grenville, dressed as a butcher, Grey with a handkerchief round his neck, and Sidmouth. Behind them walk hogs on their hind legs, wearing court dress, with sword or cane, and carrying small tricorne hats with tricolour cockades. From the pocket of one hangs a paper: 'To the Free and Indepent Hogs of Hampshire'. On the left. is Bosville with a large bag of coins inscribed 'Pigs-Meat'; from this he feeds the two leading hogs of Cobbett's team. Beside him stands Burdett flogging the hogs with a long whip. The middle distance and background are filled with a dense crowd cheering the procession. Those in the two front rows are butchers, banging marrow-bones on cleavers, as at a Westminster election. Three of these are (l. to r.) Sheridan, Lauderdale, and Petty, all wearing bonnets rouges. Four banners are held up, the first two being tricolour: [1] 'The Botley Patriot & his Hogs for ever. - no chevaliers du bain'; [2] 'Given up to Junot. All the Plunder All the Horses. All the Arms. - O Diable! Diable'; [3] a pictorial banner: 'Due D'Abrantes Ratifying ye Convention'; he signs on a drum-head; kneeling British officers kiss his bared posteriors, and attendant French soldiers hold huge money-bags; [4] 'Triumph in Portugal - a new Catch to be Sung by the Hampshire Hogs - to the Tune of Three Jolly Boys all in a Row'. From the crowd on the r. three gibbets are held up each with a figure hanging in effigy. They are inscribed: 'Sir Hugh [Dalrymple]', 'Sir Arthur [Wellesley]', 'Sir Harry [Burrard]'. In the foreground (r.) a terrier barks furiously at the procession, its collar inscribed 'Evening Post'."--British Museum online catalogue
