"Fifteen officers sit round a roughly made table on which are decanters and fruit. A stout officer (? Captain Dottin [Identification on print. Abel Rous Dottin was captain in the and Life Guards. 'Army List', 1797.]) right, in an arm-chair, gives the toast 'The King', all raise their glasses with varying expressions. The Duke of York, spilling his wine, looks tipsily towards Dottin. Only one man stands, straddling across the seat of his chair, a decanter of 'Tokay' in his left hand. Captain Birch, [James Birch was lieutenant in the First Life Guards, Thomas Birch a captain in the Sixteenth Light Dragoons. Ibid., 1797.] caricatured as in BMSat 9068, sits on the Duke's left. The officer on the extreme left, looking down slyly, resembles General Davies, see BMSat 9442. Next him, a very fat officer is smoking a pipe, a paper of tobacco on the table in front of him, a bottle of 'Gin' under his chair. The third profile from the left resembles that of Prince William of Gloucester. Wright and Evans add Col. Jekyl: the profile on the extreme right has a family likeness to that of Joseph Jekyll, none resembles the Col. Jekyll of BMSat 7330. All wear cocked hats. The decanters or bottles on the table are labelled 'Champa[gne]', 'Claret', 'Burgundy'. Under the table are more bottles, and empty bottles lie on the ground, with broken glasses, a pineapple, and an orange. The floor is boarded and the table roughly made, but the chairs are ornate and decorated with ormolu."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The Devil, laden with Tories, strides to the left, quoting the Duke of Newcastle with a gloating grin: 'Can't I do what I like with MY OWN' [see BM Satires No. 15884, &c.]. Across his shoulder is a trident on which a bloated bishop is spiked. From the lower end of the handle a rat-trap (see BM Satires No. 15734), on which Peel sits, hangs by a rope. Wellington, encircled by the barbed tail, is dragged along, kicking violently. He is in uniform with spurred boots; a gibbet projects from his cocked hat. Under the Devil's arm are two lawyers: Wetherell in his slovenly dress, and Lyndhurst. The remainder are tied by ropes to the Devil's back; most prominent (left to right) are Ellenborough, Cumberland, Gloucester, and Croker. The others are scarcely characterized; a Scots cap may denote Lauderdale, a renegade."--Britism Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The three members of the Royal family who had recently been given the Freedom of the City as members of the Fishmongers' Company are represented as Billingsgate porters, carrying baskets of fish on their heads, and being kissed by Billingsgate women. All wear flat round hats and aprons. Prince Leopold has a German sausage (cf. British Museum Catalogue No. 12759) projecting from his coat-pocket, and another is in his basket. A comely woman puts her arms round his neck, saying, "My dear Boy you are Welcome to Billinsgate, come give us a buss!! Charlotte wont be angry." He answers: "Stop my Dear I lay down my Sole, and give you bit de german saucage." Two women (left) hurry up from the left, eagerly wiping their mouths on their aprons. They say: "By Goles he's a nice fellow Come do make haste Poll," and "That's right Bet! if you dont look sharp we shant get a taste." The Duke of Sussex, fat and good-natured, is beset by two women, one, an Irishwoman, kisses his mouth. He says: "You Hussey you'll upset my Cod!" She answers: "By the Powers if I care about that my Jewel! I'll have a taste of your Jowl, and a rare Jolly one it is!!" A paper projects from his pocket: 'Freedom of the City of London'. In the middle distance (right) stands the Duke of Gloucester, silent between three women who say: "Now let me have the first an I'll carry your fish; Give me the first and I'll carry you and fish too my heart I'll have such a smack," and "You have a smack indeed I'm the girl for smacking & know the true Gloucester go." A woman sitting by her basket (right) drinking gin says: "you may smack there I'll smack here! so God Bless the Royal Fishmongers." Behind are masts and sails with (right) the colonnade of Billingsgate Market on the quay-side."--British Museum online catalogue
