Abstract:
"John Bull capers on one leg, arms raised, looking down delightedly at little capering creatures at his feet whose bodies are composed of food or drink. These have human arms and legs (as in British Museum Satires no. 9851) and are flanked by two similar figures on a larger scale: a joint of beef (left), inscribed 'Sir Loin for ever' and decorated with sprigs of holly, sits on a flight of steps holding 'O the roast Beef of Old England', the tune to which they dance. On the extreme right sack inscribed 'Genuine Flour, No Adulteration' dances with heavy dignity. Two musicians are on the left: a frothing tankard of 'Old Stout', decorated with the Royal Arms as in BMSat 9851, plays a fiddle; a loaf of 'The Best Wheaten Bread' plays a pipe. The dancers are: 'Mutton 3d 1/2 Pr Pound'; 'Prime Hops, no Quashee'; 'Double Gloucester'; 'Jamaica Rum'; 'Old Port', and 'Coniac'. On a smaller scale in the foreground are 'Peace and Mealy Potatoes' and 'Excellent Fresh Butter', the last like a ballerina with petticoats extended."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
