Abstract:
"A satire on Cambridge. The interior of a large room showing two sash windows, through one of which (left) is seen part of the south side of the Senate House, through the other, the tower of St. Mary's Church, both drawn with topographical accuracy. Between the two windows is a niche in which is a statue of Athene holding her shield; in her outstretched left hand is held out a laurel wreath towards some men beneath her who have entered from a door on the right. Her owl sits beside her on the stump of a tree. Beneath the title is etched, "dedicated to the illustrious Inheritress of her fame in Professors of Arts & Sciences, the University of Cambridge O Matre pulchra Filia pulchrior!" Immediately below Athene, and concealing the lower part of her draperies a man stands on a high rostrum covered with a cloth. He wears a furred academic gown and bands, and holds out a rolled document in his right hand. Immediately below the rostrum a man, not in academic dress, is seated at a table writing. He is in profile to the right looking towards four men who have entered from the right through an open door, apparently 'professors of Arts and Sciences', whose names he is recording. The foremost of these is a dancing-master who stands holding a bow in his right hand, a kit or small fiddle in his left. Next is a rough-looking elderly man wearing a round hat and long coat. The other two are middle-aged, one holding his hat and a cane and accompanied by a dog. On the left, and behind the chair of the man writing, are two other 'professors'; a fencing-master, wearing a fencing-jacket, stands in back view, turning his head in profile to the right, his left arm raised, holding his foil horizontally. Behind him stands a thin man wearing a hat, one hand in his waistcoat pocket, the other thrust in his waistcoat."--British Museum catalogue

"The King runs towards the Pavilion, carrying a large bow and spear, with a shield on which are a bottle and glass. At his feet kneels a demon sharpening an arrow on a leech (see No. 13740). The Pavilion is a grinning Chinese figure, with a (smaller) dome and a large minaret; it is partly hidden by smoke from which a second demon looks out.

"A grotesque procession of brass-founders (braziers), carrying banners and emblems of brass on poles, burlesquing a Roman triumph. They march (right to left) past a sign-post pointing (left) 'To B--burgh House' and (right) 'To Turnham Green'. All wear loose jack-boots, spurred, and on each man's head is a brass utensil (or helmet), as made by the trade, and each carries a dish-cover (or shield) inscribed 'C R'. Many wear makeshift breastplates. They wear ragged breeches, some partly covered by strips of metal on the thigh, in imitation of armour. The two goose-stepping leaders blow coach-horns to which banners are attached, inscribed 'Blow Braziers Blow thy Sounding Horns'; their head-dress is a candlestick containing a tall lighted candle. They are followed by two trumpeters, with teakettles on their heads. Next comes a tall drummer, his drum inscribed 'Hum Drum', using ladles for drumsticks and with a coal-scuttle-helmet. Prominent among their trophies are pikes, to which banners are attached, each decorated by a large white favour. The first banner is inscribed 'Hail Star of Como [see British Museum Satires No. 13857] Brass is a Joke to thee.' Beside this, supported on a pole, is a model of a man (Bergami) on a galloping horse inscribed 'Courier'. A pair of breeches hangs from a pike. Various objects are surmounted by a piece of drapery inscribed 'Presents for Carey', and by a banner inscribed 'Men of Metal'; they include a bull, a goat, a stag's head, and a model of a Turk dancing inscribed 'Dimma Dimma'. Behind these is an owl and, beside a banner inscribed 'Pam [knave of clubs] & Qu--n for ever', is a model of Bergami carrying the Queen on his back. A figure of Harlequin is inscribed 'B B' [Bartolomeo Bergami]. Drapery is inscribed 'Presents for Bat' [Bartolommeo]; beside this is a bust of Alderman Wood. 'Furniture for the Barona' is on a banner flying over a woman (three-quarter length) wearing a triple fool's cap and emerging from a stand: 'Automaton Pitch'. A figure of 'Columbine' capers awkwardly. The interstices among these objects are filled with household utensils, &c., held high, tongs, poker, shovel, &c. Below the design: '"Why look'ye Mrs Brasier!" I dont know in what quantities you sell brass "at" Como"--But when you come "from" abroad, & ask a thinking people "to believe Black is White--D . . . me but your'e a Wholesale Dealer!!!--John Bull.""--British Museum online catalogue

Depicts a furious man (William Austin) on a sidewalk, shouting "Damn your foollish [sic] caricatures" as he attacks the windows of Matthias Darly's London printshop with his walking-stick. On his left arm he carries a portfolio as a shield (emblazoned with a broken anchor). From it fall papers and drawings, including a prescription (suggestive of madness) from Dr. Monrow (i.e. John Monro, physician of Bethlehem Hospital). One print in the shop window echoes the present image, while Austin's "Proposals for opening a museum of drawings" is trodden underfoot by a dog in the foreground
