- Abstract:
- "A satire on King Louis XV of France accusing him of treachery showing him sitting on a throne under a canopy, his crown is held over his head by Pride on his left, a peacock in front of her, and two-faced Treachery on his right, behind whom the devil flies waving a firebrand and a Jesuit stands holding up a candle and scroll lettered “Persecution”. The king wears a black mask and the costume of a Roman general, a cloth adorned with fleur-de-lis round his legs and his sandaled feet rest on two books lettered “T[reatie]s”, a paper with the same lettering lies beside these and an open book. An obsequious courtier, a chain round his ankle attached to a book, kneels at the king’s feet as the king hands him a yoke. On the king’s other side another elegant courtier, his ankle chained to a log, exclaims “Oh! Wh(a)t a great Monarch”, a scene of “The [St Bartholomew's Day] massacre of Paris” hangs on the curtain behind the king. To the left of the canopy is an obelisk bearing the image of a weeping “Europa” with her bull and above this a medallion of the “Cat & monkey”. Around the obelisk are a Spaniard holding a rosary and kneeling in prayer before a statue, a Genoese man and a Bavarian (identified in the verses below); at their feet are the words “Here we stand for ye Glory of France”. In the sky above the Eye of Providence looks down on a pair of scales in which the British lion outweighs the French fleur-de-lis. On the right demon is about to hang Justice as a Cardinal (Tencin?) holds up a cross; beside this a man wearing a wig wooden shoes sits astride a braying donkey waves his hat and cries “Vive le Roy”. At the bottom are three scenes: [at left] three men “Burning of Treaties” and the “Pr[agmati]c S[anctio]n”; ... ; [at right] scenes of executions, torture, a village burning and a monk leading a band of troops while another holding up a cross says “one K[in]g one R[e]l[igio]n”).

- Abstract:
- A satire on the financial crisis of 1720 ... Time draws back the curtain to reveal what appears to be a large painting showing a 'Roomse Schilderij', the deathbed of Pope Clement XI in March 1721. In front of the bed stand John Law and the Old Pretender, who has lost his wig and hat; they hold strings attached to the sails of a windmill on the canopy of the bed, beside which are the French cock, the Imperial eagle and the lion of the Netherlands. A thread encircles the waists of Law, the Pretender and Cardinal Alberoni who stands on the far side of the bed. At the head of the bed stands a group of cardinals holding up the papal tiara as the future Innocent XIII reaches for it; his medallion portrait hangs above, with an angel driving away a devil as the background. The Director being pushed forward by the satyrs is now identified as Robert Knight, cashier of the South Sea Company; coins fall from his pocket. The town in the distance is now 'Vryplaats'. The two vignettes at the bottom of the sheet have been changed, that on the left, which still has the same design is now identified as the son of the Pretender (born in 1720); that on the right, now showing a wheel of fortune with Pope Innocent at the top holding a scourge which he directs towards Law who falls down at the left, and destroying with a lightning bolt a paper representing the constitution as the Pretender ascends on the right; Cardinal Alberoni is at the bottom of the wheel. Engraved Dutch title, inscriptions, and verse in three columns which differs from those in the original state

- Abstract:
- "A broadside satirising the fall of James II; with an etching formerly attributed to de Hooghe. King James (1) lies in an ornate bed, wearing a Jesuit's cap encircled by a crown, vomiting a stream of reptiles with crowns, papal tiaras, cardinals' hats and Jesuit caps; further reptiles emerge from the foot of the bed where broken shackles lie on the floor.. In the centre stands the finely dressed Lord Mayor of London (2) holding his nose, a dog with a spiked collar at his side, and to the right Aldermen and Bishops (3). To the left, beside the bed, a double-faced physician (4) holds up a urinal in one hand while feeling the king's pulse with the other. The Lord Chancellor (5; George Jeffreys) stands on the other side of the bed, holding his nose and pointing to the doctor as the cause of the king's sickness. Mary of Modena (6) sits on the extreme right pointing across the room to the Prince of Wales. The Archbishop of Canterbury (7) stands behind her with the other bishops holding out his hand to receive a sealed package from a masked Jesuit (8). The Prince of Wales (9), holding an orb or ball and toy windmill is sitting in the lap of his nurse (10) who spoon-feeds him while she listens to a monk who gestures with his left hand as he speaks. Behind them Father Petre (11) receives a passport and is sent on his way together with Quakers and other sectaires (12) including Anabaptists surviving from the days of Cromwell. Through an archway in the background the sun rises on the Dutch fleet (13) setting sailing to bring relief to England. Engraved Latin title and Latin and Dutch inscriptions, and with Dutch letterpress verses, including legend, in three columns."--British Museum online catalogue
