"A newly invented French telegraph (semaphore) stands on the coast, with the head of Fox, in back view but looking to the right with a fiercely determined expression. The crossbeam represents his arms and the arms of the semaphore; the raised right hand holds a lantern which lights up the French fleet (in full sail for England) and a fort on the French coast flying a large tricolour flag inscribed 'République'. The left hand points downwards and to the left to a dark cluster of roofs and spires dominated by St. Paul's. The base of the telegraph is circular and of brick. An arched opening shows the interior, in it is a pile of daggers. In the sky is a waning moon."--British Museum online catalogue

"The comet has the profile head of Napoleon wearng a plumed bicorne; it rushes up from the left. towards the sun, the profile head of George III, much irradiated. John Bull, a carbuncled 'cit', stoops low to look through a telescope on a tripod pointing towards the comet. Napoleon looks up at the King, who gazes fixedly above his head. He has ascended from a small piece of land rising from the narrow Channel separating it from John's wider fragment. Up this a frog clambers. On the open sea ships are strung out along the horizon. John says: "Aye - Aye - Master Comet - you may attempt your Periheliums - or your Devil heliums for what I care but take the word of an Old Man you'll never reach the Sun depend upon it"."--British Museum online catalogue, description of variant state
