Abstract:
"Satire contrasting English and French styles of dress. A stout middle-aged Englishman wearing a heavy coat and three-cornered hat and carrying a stick, is walking to left in a Parisian street with a small boy in attendance. Passers-by are amused by his lack of elegance: on the left, a hairdresser wearing his hair in a large queue, with scissors at his waist and an apron, carries a parasol and raises his hand in surprise; a fat monk grins; an elegant man driving a cabriolet and his footman dressed in furs smile; a worker wearing loose trousers and wooden shoes folds his arms and stares; two dogs follow the Englishman."--British Museum online catalogue

"A monk walks through a ford leading a dog with a crown on its head: 'Father Peters' leading George III to Rome. The monk says "He cocks his Tail yet". He is going towards a wayside cross (right), above which are rocks, on which is seated the Pope, holding out a cross towards the travellers and saying "Hold out my Sons to the End & I'll give you a Crown of Glory". Behind him is a dome surmounted by a cross indicating St. Peter's. On the other side of the pool (left) there are also rocks, on them stands a sheep (?) and in the distance, by the sea-shore, are two small churches of rural appearance; off the shore are three dismantled ships with brooms at their mast-heads to show that they are for sale, the scene being inscribed "Little Britain."--British Museum online catalogue

"In the foreground are Wellington and Peel as grave-diggers; Eldon, a stout elderly Hamlet wearing a cloak, stands (left) holding a skull, and saying: "Here's fine revolution and [sic] we had the trick to see it." Wellington stands in a grave, in profile to the left, wielding a pickaxe. His shirt-sleeves are rolled up, he wears a small cap; his military coat, cocked hat, and sword lie beside him. He says to Peel: 'Come take off the Orange Peel [see British Museum Satires No. 15683] quickly, I can't get on without you.' Peel, wearing garments of green slashed with orange, is about to take off an orange waistcoat (cf. British Museum Satires No. 15701). He answers 'I'll change my self before you can say Jack Robinson.' On the extreme right are the posterior and left leg of George IV (as in British Museum Satires No. 12803) who is scurrying off to the right, beside a tombstone which serves as sign-post and is inscribed 'To Hanover' [see British Museum Satires No. 15704]. In the middle distance (right) is the funeral procession, the coffin carried by four bearers with a pall inscribed 'Constitution 1829'. On it stand a large crown and mitre with papers: 'Magna Charta' and 'Bill of Rights'. It is followed by one mourner in cloak and scarf (J. B.), who covers his face with a despairing gesture, exclaiming 'Oh! dear! Oh! dear, what will become of Mrs Bull, & all my little Bulls?-- We shall have nothing but the Popes Bulls. Oh my--' Behind are (left) St. Paul's and (right) York Minster. The pediment of the former is inscribed 'St Pauls now St Patricks' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 11898]. On the steps, about to enter, is the Pope, rollicking indecently between a monk (left) and O'Connell (right) in wig and gown. The Pope: 'Och! my darling you have done the job. fal lal la!!' O'Connell: 'Huzza! Huzza! Ould Ireland for ever! Huzza!!!' Behind them (left) capers a ragged Irishman, playing bagpipes and shouting 'St Patrick day in the morning!! Och! my Darlings!' An Irish crowd is indicated in the background. Farther from the spectator is York Minster, blazing furiously, flames and smoke covering the sky; an incendiary with a firebrand (Martin, see British Museum Satires No. 15658) rushes from the building, striding across a paper inscribed 'Blanco [scored through] Black is White'."--British Museum online catalogue
