"A young man in civilian dress, Battier, and two officers of the Tenth Hussars, are having their shaved heads inspected by six grotesque practitioners of phrenology, two to each. On the wall, besides pendent skulls, is a placard : Craniums examined and fitness developed.-- 1. Penetration--2. Folly--3. Insolence--4. Conceit--5- Benevolence--6. Ideality--7. Civility--8. Self Love 9. Brutality 10. Pride with Ignorance! Battier is identified by a paper at his feet, To Co . Bat**; he has a head of ideal shape; one expert says to the other: No, wont do for the 10th to omuch of No. 1-- 5 and 7--. One officer (left) sits in back view, he has a grotesquely misshapen head with lateral protuberances; the inspecting expert says to his colleague: No. 9 Conspicuously. The other (right) sits in profile; he is without a forehead, with an absurdly extended back to his head. One phrenologist, smelling his cane, says: No 3 and 4 very clear. The other adds: Heres the 10th the 10th the 10 to a demonstration."--British Museum online catalogue

"An African chief displays to a naval officer three black women, who stand together (right), grinning and coy, and absurdly squat and obese, with huge posteriors like those of the Hottentot Venus (see British Museum satire no. 11577). The officer, Lieut. Lyon, bows in profile to the right, right hand on his breast, staring with humorous and wary appraisal at the women. The chief, who smiles blandly, seated on a low slab, wears a huge nose-ring, a plume of ostrich feathers, and a sword for which his left ear serves as hilt. Immediately behind him is a bodyguard of four warriors holding tall spears on each of which a skull is transfixed. Two grin, one looks with sour possessiveness at the women. All the Africans are very negroid, and naked except for small aprons. Behind the women are more Africans, much amused. Behind Lyon stand an astonished naval officer and two amused military officers; all are in dress uniform. Behind these are grinning sailors and on the extreme left the tips of the bayonets of the escort, with a Union flag."--British Museum online catalogue

"Satire on the Jacobite rebellion, Prince Charles Edward Stuart, the Young Pretender, and the pro-French and Catholic measures he was expected to introduce. The Prince walks through a market place wearing a tartan kilt and a coat covered in fleur-de-lis; he is proceeded by a drummer and followed by Scots troops carrying Lochaber axes all of whom wear cockades on their Scots bonnets. At a butcher's stall on the right, proclaiming 'Flesh for such as haue Licences', a bishop buys a piece of beef from a woman who chops it up with a cleaver. Beside this is a stall selling 'FINE PLUMP FROGS for a Fricace'e, specimens of which hang from rods over the stall while a young woman arranges more on her counter; next is a Frenchman offering 'Woode(n) Shoes A la mod(e) PARIS' from a selection on a table before him. Above the final stall two angels hold a notice, adorned with the Papal arms, advertising 'Holy RELICKS from JERSULEM ITALY FRANCE SPAIN & other Catholick Countries to be Sold or Chang'd for old Silver by Antonio Maria Francesco Credo' while in the stall beneath a monk stands before a pile of sculls holding a broken femur; the wares for sale include a rosary, a cross, a knife, 'Queen Maries shoes', bits of bones, one of which is labelled 'Legg of St. Andrew', another, 'Arme of St Ninion', and notices advertise, 'The VIRG(in's) MILK', 'Angels Sweat', 'Saints Teeth'; in front of the stall a dog holds a 'Bone of St Dominick' in its teeth. In the foreground, on the left, a group of Scotsmen, one playing the bagpipes, sits outside an inn from which hangs the sign of the 'FRENCH YOKE', while another enters carrying over his shoulder a heavy bag lettered 'CONTRIBUTION MONEY'. On the balcony of the in inn stand Cardinal Tencin, the Pope, holding a cross and a crown, and a monk; lettering at their feet reads, 'FRENCH BRANDY & ITALIAN WINES imported by P.BENIDICT C. TENCIN'. A street sweeper sweeps up papers lettered 'Magna Charta', 'Bank Notes', 'India Bills', and 'Scotch Directory for Worship', 'The HOLY BIBLE' and 'The BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER'. Behind him a Scotsman gives a coin to a monk in exchange for papers lettered 'Indulgences for 100 Years' and 'Pardons for Sins Past'; a French priest standing beside him, a white Jacobite cockade in his hat, carries a pedlar's tray laden with bottles and balls lettered, Poison Gaggs and Spanish Padlocks'. In the centre, a barefoot boy drives a donkey with panniers on top of which are papers lettered 'Petition for a General Spunge', 'Petition to dissolve the Union', 'Petitions of your true Friends', 'Petition to Restore Abby Lands and for Clanships'. On the right, a young woman, also barefoot, kneels by a basket, with the label 'Royal Nosegays' offering for sale bunches of thistles and lilies. In the background is a market cross on which hangs a paper lettered 'J[ames] R[ex]', with the sign of a fleur-de-lis, 'MANIFESTO by the Power of France and Spain Rome Sept 2 sign'd Okely'. Beyond is a chapel with a thatched roof in the doorway of which a woman kneels before a monk standing behind three thistles; on the front of the chapel, under the sign of a host over a chalice with St Peter's keys and the papal tiara, is a large notice promising 'Full Indulgences, MIRACLES Done here by the Holy Fathers of the INQUISITION Three Thistles grow out of a hard Stone'."--British Museum online catalogue
