"Alderman Wood, as a zany at a fair, stands on a platform outside a booth addressing a crowd of spectators, half length figures in the foreground forming the base of the design. He points with his right thumb to the Queen (left), who is ready to perform, dressed much as in British Museum Satires No. 14103 but more grotesquely. On the right are Brougham and Denman, as beefeaters, with the letters 'C R' on the breast, but with legal wig and bands; each has a trumpet; that of Denman, who blows it, has a banner 'Solicit you in General'. Wood has ass's ears, wears a fool's cap and red and yellow gown (see British Museum Satires No. 14122) over his suit, with big jack-boots. Under his arm is a bulky rolled document; he holds out a placard: 'Signora Diable Humbuggina now exhibiting with most astonishing Effect.' His words are etched on a big tricolour placard above his head: 'Now then Ladies and Gemmen, here ye has Signora Diable Humbuggina, the most wonderfullest conjuress that ever vas seed at home or abroad. The most perfect Amphibrous Nondescript Hannimal that was ever seed before or behind. She has exhibited her Genus to all the crowned Potentaties, and all the principalest Men in all Europe including the Day of Alljeers [Tunis, see British Museum Satires No. 12810] von o' the best Judges in this here Universe. This here living vonder o' the vorld can conjure dunghill grubs and Knights of all sorts [see British Museum Satires No. 13810], ride a Donkey [see British Museum Satires No. 14015] a Zebra [see British Museum Satires No. 14110] and her high-horse at von and the same time. Sleep 40 days & nights under the same Tent vith a man, and never be wicious [see British Museum Satires No. 13818]. She can play with all the grace that ever vas, Columbine, Automaton [see British Museum Satires No. 14120, &c.] Pilgrim [see British Museum Satires No. 14121], or Dragon, and swallow all sorts of Spirity liquors by the Gallon and never be the Vorserer [see British Museum Satires No. 14175]--. So now is the time before this most surprisingest exhibition closes. Blow the trumpet Denny--Valk up Ladies and Gemmen-- Vy dont you blow Broom?' The Queen, very décolletée, with an over-dress displaying frilled and spotted drawers or trousers, wears a barn-stormer's crown with towering peacocks' feathers. At her feet is a notice: 'Juggling taught in all its branches'. At the feet of the beefeaters: 'Books of the travels of this wonderfull Phenomenon to be had within'. Their booth is garlanded with fairy lights and surmounted by a cap of Liberty. In the background on left and right are other attractions of the fair. A beefeater with 'G.R' on his breast blows his trumpet outside a booth flying a Union Jack, and inscribed 'Here's your Works. All from Nature. No connexion with the Jugglers.' Outside it are pictorial placards, all of animals with human heads: an ass with the head of Lieut. Hownam, a creature with the head of Bergami, and an ape with the head of Wood as in British Museum Satires No. 14131. Visitors crowd towards it. Before it is a woman in a swing. On the right are two tents, one inscribed 'Good Strong Caroline Brandy', the other flying a tricolour flag inscribed 'Ale and strong liquors'. In the centre foreground stands John Bull, pointing up at the Queen, and addressing the gaping and amused spectators around him. He is a plump respectable countryman, his words engraved below the title: 'Why dang-it I tell ye that ere business be all Impositioning like--Do na g'in, I mysel war taken in tother day; but blow my wig if I ha any more to do wi that shew like.--do na g'in, It be all my eye [cf. British Museum Satires No. 14180] and Betty-Martin or my neame beant John Bull.--'"--British Museum online catalogue

"A parody of British Museum Satires No. 10979 by Gillray. Queen Caroline and her supporters, realistically depicted, sleep round the dinner-table after dessert (at Brandenburgh House), their dreams are supported on clouds which hide the upper part of the wall. The Queen (left), dressed much as in British Museum Satires No. 14103, but with trailing draperies, lies back in an arm-chair, arms extended, her knees crossed and shoes kicked off. She wears the accustomed miniature of Bergami, see British Museum Satires No. 13858; her bracelets are inscribed 'C B'. Lieut. Flinn leans on the back of her chair, looking down at her protectingly, the only one awake. At her right hand sleeps Joseph Hume, identified by a paper in his pocket: 'Humes motion upon Queenboro'. Facing him and on the Queen's left sits Lady Anne Hamilton, wearing a feathered (Scots) bonnet. In an arm-chair facing the Queen Alderman Wood (right) leans back, one thin leg on the table. On his right is Dr. Parr; on his left Hownam, in naval uniform, bestrides his chair with his back to the table, his head buried in his hands which are folded on the back of his chair (inscribed 'C R'). Decanters are labelled 'C BR'; a (gold) centrepiece for fruit is supported by three naked nymphs. On the floor are glasses and many more decanters: 'Brandy' (by the Queen); 'Rum', 'Madeira', 'Port' by Wood. The carpet is patterned with hearts and arrows. In the centre of the wall is a large fireplace flanked by fire-screens, each with a half length portrait surmounted by a crescent. On the chimneypiece are three dancing figurines: the Queen apparently as Columbine (see British Museum Satires No. 14120) between a Turk (Mahomet, see British Museum Satires No. 13929) and a Harlequin (Bergami as in British Museum Satires No. 14120). Two bell-pulls terminate in satyrs' heads; similar heads decorate the chairs. The pictures are (left) a half length of Bergami as a courier above two smaller pictures: a tent on a ship, see British Museum Satires No. 13818, and the Queen walking with Wood. On the right a half length of Bergami after his promotion above a picture of Bergami and the Queen walking together, and one of Bergami rowing her in a boat (on Como). A globe enclosing a lamp mounted with rams' heads hangs from the ceiling. On the cloud, behind the lamp, is a vision of loaves and fishes, above, an open book inscribed 'Bless the [Qu]een'. The topmost dream is a coronation, realistically depicted: the King, crowned, and Queen kneel face to face, the Archbishop about to place a crown on her head. Peeresses stand behind the Queen, peers behind the King. On the right and left are two disks of light, which illuminate the scenes below. One is 'R I G H T S' (the letters in a circle) above a view of Buckingham House ('the Queen's House'). The other is 'P R I V I LE G E S': the Queen, wearing a crown, stands on a dais, a lady kisses her hand, other ladies stand on the left and right. Below the title: 'Thus Queen Mab Gallops Night by Night Thro' Lover's brains, & then they dream of Love; Sometimes she gallops oe'r a Courtiers Nose, And then dreams he of smelling out a Place, And sometimes comes she as a tythe pigs tail Tickling the parson as he lies asleep; But, 'tis the baseless fabric of a Vision, that leaves not a rack behind. Altered from Shakespeare.' ['Romeo and Juliet', I. iv; 'Tempest', IV. i.]."--British Museum online catalogue

The scenes include: Adam and Eve, two heads peeping from a tent, a scene with Bergami kneeling before the Queen leaning in to kiss, a plump Queen jumping up like a jack-in-the box, the two in costume dancing, the Queen riding an ass. Other suggestive decorative details include ostrich plumes, ribbons with medals engraved "Night of the Dunghill" (Bergami) and Knight of the Thistle with a shield "The Times ... Lies ... Bribery". At the base, Knight of the Bath with a scene with Bergami reaching towards the Queen in her bath above a medallion "Knight of St. Columbine and Penance" surrounded by a banner "My fancy's so free, I rove like a bee."
