Abstract:
The sudden entrance, through the window, of Napoleon Bonaparte startles tailors assembled in their shop, i.e., the European rulers at the Congress of Vienna, busy "cutting out" portions of Europe for themselves. With a blood-dripping sabre in his hand, Bonaparte declares his readiness to join them in this activity. To his left, a startled King of Holland moves toward the Austrian Emperor, shown with a pair of small scissors and an iron in his hands, who is Napoleon's father-in-law and whom the deposed French Emperor asks, "Where is my wife and son, father Francis?" Beside Francis I, the Russian Emperor stands on a large piece of cloth lined with "Polish fur," raising in his left hand a knot made out of the measuring tape. On the opposite side of the workbench, a fierce-looking Prussian general Blücher threatens Napoleon with huge shears. Behind him, the King of Prussia, sitting cross-legged, continues sewing a piece of cloth signed, "Pattern of an Emperors Robe." To his right stands Napoleon's former marshal, Bernadotte, now allied against him as the Crown Prince of Sweden. In the middle of the room, a frightened and helpless-looking King of France lies flat on the floor, consoled by John Bull, with a large club, who promises to sew up "that rascal Boney." Behind John Bull, a terrified Pope scrambles away for the safety, his tiara and cross fallen to the ground. On the other side of Louis XVIII, the French negotiator at the Congress, Talleyrand, attempts to hide under the tailors' bench

Abstract:
"Lady Hertford, seated regally on a small sofa, cuts locks from the head of the Regent who reclines against her knees, asleep. The locks already cut are on the ground inscribed respectively 'Sheridan', 'Norfolk', 'Moira', 'Holland', 'Erskine'. She is about to shear off one inscribed 'Grenville'; the last, 'Grey', is still on his head. The Prince, who is conventionally handsome, and wears uniform, holds a paper signed '[Gren]ville / Grey'; his garter, inscribed 'Honi so . . .', is loose, and his left hand hides the star on his breast. Lord Yarmouth (right) stands holding a guttering candle; he points to the uncut lock, saying, "Don't forget that lock laying [on] the shoulder its Grey dy'ye see!" In his pocket is a pamphlet: 'Art of Milling' [see British Museum Satires No. 11842]. To leave no doubt as to his identity, a basket of fish is beside him inscribed '[Y]armouth Herrings'. Lady Hertford is heavily handsome; a small crown, which might pass as a tiara decorates her head; one foot rests regally on a footstool. A pillar and drapery behind her suggest regal state. On the sofa beside her is a rolled document headed 'Road to Hertford from Pall Mall'. On the ground (left) are empty wine-bottles; on a book by the Prince's feet, 'Economy of Human Life', lies a broken bottle from which wine pours. Behind (left) stands Perceval in his Chancellor of the Exchequer's gown, watching from behind a curtain which he holds aside; Castlereagh stands behind him, saying, "By Jasus, but she's as pretty a Barber as ever I clap't my eyes upon." Perceval answers: "Hush! Hush! you'l wake him before they are all cut."."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The interior of a blacksmith's forge. Two men in leather aprons and rolled up shirt-sleeves stand at the anvil; one has a hammer in his right. hand, the iron in his left. Both gape in consternation towards a tailor, who stands on the right. He holds in his hand a newspaper, "The Morning . . . Monday July" and reads from it. Under his arm is a large pair of scissors, a yard measure hangs from his pocket. The other smith, behind and to the left., is similarly dressed; by him stands a man also wearing an apron but with a coat and a short wig. In the background is a woman holding a baby. On the left. is a large forge with a cone-shaped chimney and an enormous pair of bellows. The roof is raftered. Four horse-shoes, a bent strip of iron, and the portrait of a man (possibly Wilkes) hang on the wall. A dog is asleep in the foreground."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
The figure of Time, with his scythe, hovers in the air between the kneeling figures of Pitt on the left and Fox on the right. Through two pipes inscribed, "Court favor" and "popularity," he blows bubbles that Pitt catches in his mouth. Fox, his hands raised in supplication, begs Time for the same favor. His plea is supported by the Duchess of Devonshire who stands behind him. In the background, a radiating temple on a rock behind Pitt is inscribed, "St. Jameses." Behind Fox, a lighthouse with a flare hanging from its top is signed, "House of Commons." Between the two, on the other side of a river, is a ruined ancient city, a reference to Rome
