King George IV and entourage laden with provisions, about to embark from Brighton in the Royal Yacht; representing the extravagant monarch's distressed retreat from England at the time of the Queen's trial and "George IV leads a procession to the waterside to embark in the royal yacht, preceded by the Attorney-General with a 'Green Bag' [see No. 13735] under each arm, and a bottle of 'Milan Brandy' [see British Museum Satires No. 13755, &c.] in each hand. The latter, much caricatured and with a malevolent countenance, says: "The Tide is against His Ma--je--ty but should He be able to clear Cuckolds Point [cf. British Museum Satires No. 13769] no doubt he will easily weather Cape Horn." The King, wearing sailor's trousers, rollicks along between Lady Hertford and Lady Conyngham (see British Museum Satires No. 13847), arm-in-arm with both and looking towards the latter. He holds in one hand a purse inscribed '2/6', in the other a bottle: 'Decoction of Bergamy', and wears a long watch-ribbon inscribed 'Non mi ricordo' [see British Museum Satires No. 13827]. Both ladies carry reticules inscribed '2/6' [half a crown, cf. British Museum Satires No. 13826]. Lady Hertford: "I hope your Ma--je--ty will not forget your promise (when in Hertford) to take a peep in Y--amouth [sic] Roads--as the Sea breezes might be beneficial." Lady Conyngham: "Don't doubt us your Ma--je--ty we shall never be wanting to lend a Hand to raise the Royal G . . . e." Behind walk Sidmouth and Castlereagh, the latter wearing a triangular hat, holding a scourge and fetters and with a package inscribed 'Irish Wiskey Triangular Proceedings' [see British Museum Satires No. 14135] under his arm. Sidmouth carries a 'Royal Medecine Chest' under his arm, with a clyster-pipe (cf. British Museum Satires No. 9849) inscribed 'Portable Soup'; on his head is a commode-pan inscribed 'Stink Pot for the Radicals'. He says: "Take care of the Green Bags, Stow 'em safe-- for should the Sea Water touch them they'll rot sooner than is expected--and his Ma--je--ty would run the chance of loosing half a Crown" [see British Museum Satires No. 13826]. They are followed by Liverpool and Canning, both wearing, like the King, top-hats ornamented with crowns, to show they are the King's servants. Liverpool has a pen behind his ear and carries two bags, one inscribed 'Pursers Profits', the other 'Nip Cheese 75 Per Cent'. He says "one and one makes two. Canning carries a weathercock (cf. British Museum Satires No. 13737) and says: "A fine Breeze and we shall soon be out of the scent of Cotton Yard [see British Museum Satires No. 13824] theres a kind of Vapour gathering in that Quarter that's likely to be very offensive, unless the rubbish is shortly removed!!" In the foreground on the extreme left walks Sir William Curtis, in the sailor's dress of the Walcheren Expedition, see British Museum Satires No. 11353, &c. He has a vast paunch inscribed 'The Orphans Fund' [see British Museum Satires No. 13706] and 'Blubber', and carries a large turtle, a knife, and a long spoon. He says: "Who so blythe so blythe as we to take a voyage a voyage to Sea Along with his great Ma--j--ty." Behind is a man carrying on his head a basket of kitchen 'Stores': gridiron, kettle, &c. The yacht 'Royal George' is in the background (right), flying the Royal Standard and with sailors in the rigging."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A man and woman sit facing each other beside the counter, which stretches across the design; he holds a jelly-glass and puts a spoonful to her mouth; she sits with open mouth and folded arms, a closed fan in one hand. A third customer leans on the counter, holding a jelly-glass and admiring through a lorgnette his own reflection in a mirror; this is the centre of the wall behind the counter, dividing two sets of shelves on which are neatly ranged canisters, glasses, packets, &c. A shop-girl (right) also gazes at the pair. All are fashionably dressed."--British Museum online catalogue

"Folding frontispiece to "A Political Lecture on Heads, alias Blockheads!! A Characteristic Poem: . . .Drawn from Craniological Inspection, after the Manner of Doctors Gall and Spurzheim, of Vienna. By Don Juan Asmodeus. London. Printed for the Author, and Published by John Fairburn, 2, Broadway, Ludgate-Hill (Price One Shilling)." Ten half length caricature portraits arranged in two rows, and, except for the last two, in separate compartments, each illustrating a section of the verse-satire. The date is after Peterloo (16 August 1819), see British Museum Satires No. 13258, and before the King's death (29 Jan. 1820). [1] 'Derry-Down-Triangle', Castlereagh, with ass's ears, his head, adorned by a tiny gibbet, turned in profile to the left, holds up a scourge. On a scroll is the motto 'EIREN·GO·BRAY' (see British Museum Satires No. 13301). [2] 'State Jackal', Canning, directed to the left, holds a pistol in each hand. On his head is a triangle, bells hanging from its apex as from a fool's cap. Behind him is a package inscribed 'Lisbon 20.000 weight'. For his much-attacked mission to Lisbon see British Museum Satires No. 12872, for the duel with Castlereagh, British Museum Satires No. 11370, &c. [3] 'Quack Doctor' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 9849], Sidmouth, in profile to the left, holds a pike on which is speared a ball inscribed 'Circular Pills' [see British Museum Satires No. 13282, &c.]. On his head is a pestle and mortar inscribed 'Drugs for John Bull'. At his back is a large 'Bible' (like Liverpool he was an Evangelical). [4] 'Chancery Jack', the shoulders of Eldon, who scowls to the right, emerge from a 'Coal Tub' (as son of a Newcastle hoastman or coal-broker). He wears wig and gown, across his forehead is a bandage inscribed 'In Chancery'; from his mouth issues the word 'Equity'. [5] Liverpool, in profile to the left, spoons into his mouth liquid from a bowl of 'Water Gruel for the Poor' held in his left hand. On his head is a round tea-tray inscribed '£4.000'; on this are two cups and an urn inscribed 'Cordial Tea'. [6] 'Croaking-Frog--' Croker sits, pen in hand, in profile to the left; on his head is a frog. At his shoulder is a flag inscribed Dry . Rot . In . Navy' above two broken anchors. He says "Fal de Raltit," and before him is a paper: 'Talavira [sic] Algiers 2000'. He has an oddly shaped seat, resting his arm on a 'Quarterly Review', above a longer (curved) block inscribed 'Couriers'. (He was Secretary to the Admiralty, see British Museum Satires No. 12310, author of 'Talavera', a leading contributor to the 'Quarterly', and (with Arbuthnot) manager of the Press for the Ministry.) [7] 'Dunderass--' Lord Melville (First Lord of the Admiralty), in tartan, is in profile to the left, holding a pinch of snuff. Across his chest is a broad band: 'Pickings of Dad 60.000 [see British Museum Satires No. 10377, &c.] Place 10.000.' He wears a curious head-dress topped by a man-of-war surrounded by smoke. [8] 'Waterloo-Man--' Wellington, so styled by Hone, see British Museum Satires No. 13302, stands in profile to the left, wearing a cocked hat on which stands a cannon. He holds a dagger transfixing a bleeding heart; behind his back is a bundle inscribed 'Iquisition' [sic], across his chest is a placard: 'Coruption [sic] Prize . Money £60.000 Allowances £200.000 &c &c.' The text is a savage attack, e.g.: His soldiers 'sav'd the Spanish nation'; | Sav'd them--to send them to perdition | By 'Ferdinand's' crust [sic] 'Inquisition' [see British Museum Satires No. 13009] and (on Waterloo): The 'General' he'd not aught to do | But scenes of triumph to review [having lingered in Brussels]. For the campaign against pensions see British Museum Satires No. 12781, &c. [9 and 10] 'Chere-Amie', Lady Hertford in profile to the right, holds a sceptre and wears a crown-like coronet. She offers the Regent a large goblet of 'Noyau', saying, "Take another sup my Jewel. Grand-Lama--" The Regent leans back tipsily, his eyes almost closed. A little demon, holding a firebrand, flies towards him, flinging a noose at his head. See British Museum Satires No. 11853."--British Museum online catalogue
