Abstract:
"The surface of a platform stretches across the design; on this Pitt (right), valiant but anxious, faces the massive Russian bear, Paul, behind whom stands a stout ferocious-looking Russian soldier (like a showman with a performing animal), nearsightedly reading a document: 'Be it known to all men, - that my master, - the most Magnanimous [see BMSat 9415] most puissant, most powerful and most wonderful great Bear of the north - being in his sound and sober senses - Challenges the Whole World to single combat - and commences his first trial of skill, here in Moorfields, after which it is his intention to persue his Travels, and visit every Court in Europe - Asia - Africa - and America'. The bear wears a plumed crown, a collar inscribed 'Paul Bruin', to which are attached the massive links of a chain. His drawn sword is 'Temper'd-á-lá-Suwarrow!' On his shield is a grotesque head with gaping mouth, and the inscription 'Swallow All O.' Pitt wears a plumed helmet and light armour. His sword is 'Temper'd á-lá Nelson', his shield is inscribed 'Howe', 'Duncan', 'Nelson', 'Jervaise' [St. Vincent], 'Warren', 'Parker'. The platform is surrounded by a dense and jovial crowd. The windows and roofs of the adjacent houses are crowded with tiny waving figures; a boy sits on the high wall before a bunding inscribed 'Moor Fields' and probably intended for Bedlam."--British Museum online catalogue

"Two sailors inside the Victory, discussing the fate of Nelson's body; one stands at left, weeping, his hat in his hand, saying, 'Do you know Jack they say as how they mean to put his Honors remains into another ship--- Now I think it d-d hard that as he kept us while he was alive - that we should not be allow'd to keep him now he is dead'. The other sailor sits at right with his arm on Nelson's coffin, which is on a bier under a window, a sailor's hat with a ribbon lettered 'Victory' on top of it; the sitting sailor holds up a cutlass and replies, 'Make yourself easy about that Ben--- here am I watch over the coffin, and depend upon it he never stirs from the Victory, till he arrives in his native country, where there will be plenty to revere, and guard his precious memory, for his monument will be erected in the heart of every Briton.'

"Sir William Hamilton, old and bent, inspects his antiques. He stands in profile to left, looking through spectacles held in his right hand and reversed. He wears a round hat, a spencer over his coat and spurred top-boots, a stick in his (gloved) left hand; an expressive glove issues from his coat pocket. The objects at which he gazes are on a cloth-covered table. In the centre is a bust of 'Lais', the head that of Lady Hamilton, with fashionably dressed hair, but with nose, mouth, and chin broken away. Next it is a nude and headless Bacchante holding up a bunch of grapes (this was one of his wife's famous attitudes). Behind is a term with the head of a bull inscribed 'APIS'. Other objects are a weeping Cupid with a broken arrow, a grotesque goblet, a cracked chamber-pot on which nude figures dance. Against the wall (right) stands a mummy-like figure of 'MIDAS', with ass's ears. Other grotesque and broken objects stand on the carpet. On the wall are four pictures (left to right): 'Cleopatra', Lady Hamilton, three-quarter length, indecently décolletée and holding a bottle of 'Gin'; 'Mark Antony', Nelson, three-quarter length, a sea-fight in the background; a volcano in eruption; 'Claudius', a profile half length of Hamilton turning his back on the other pictures, the frame decorated with a stag's head."--British Museum online catalogue

"A bedroom scene. Lady Hamilton, grotesquely fat, but with traces of beauty in her features, rises from a curtained bed, arms and one leg extended in a burlesqued gesture of despair. She wears a nightgown and lace-trimmed cap. Behind her in the shadowed depths of the bed the night-capped head of her elderly and (?) sleeping husband, rests on the pillow. She looks, weeping, towards an open sash-window through which is seen a fleet sailing towards the horizon. In the window (left) is a cushioned window seat on which (besides a stocking) is an open book: 'Studies of Academic Attitudes taken from the Life'; on one page is a nude woman lying in sensual abandonment. On the right against the curtains of the bed is a dressing-table on which, besides toilet-articles, are a flask of 'Maraschino', a 'Composing Draught', and a pot of 'Rouge à la Naples'. On the carpeted floor (right) are objects from Sir W. Hamilton's collection, with an open book: 'Antiquities of Herculaneum Naples Caprea &c. &c.'; on the right page is a satyr chasing a nymph. They include an oval gem, a figure of a squatting monster, headless, the base inscribed 'Pri[apus]', a laughing bust of 'Messalina', statues of a Venus and a Satyr, coins or medals, one inscribed 'Ovid', another 'Tibertius'.

Abstract:
"An allegorical design combined with a quasi-realistic scene on the deck of the 'Victory'. The dying Nelson, in half-reclining position on a cannon, is supported by Britannia and by Captain Hardy, who stanches his wound. A young sailor kneels at his feet, supporting the hand from which Nelson's sword drops; he holds up the folds of the tattered tricolour flag which another sailor, with a gesture of astonishment and grief, has brought to Nelson. The flag (from the French flag-ship, the 'Bucentaure') is inscribed 'Vive l'Emp[ereur des] Francois'. On the deck, beside Nelson, his telescope lies across a paper: 'Bay of Trafalgar'. Britannia, with trident, shield, and a small branch of olive, kneels on the cannon, covering her eyes with her left hand. Poised on a cloud of smoke behind Britannia stands Fame, blowing his trumpet and holding up a pen with which he has just written in large letters on a swirling cloud the word 'Immortality'. The flag of the 'Victory', torn by shot, is on the extreme left; beside it three marines fire their muskets with deadly effect at the men in the mizen-top of the adjacent French ship, the 'Redoubtable' (who were responsible for the fatal shot). On the right sailors fire a cannon. A sailor climbs the rigging, waving his hat. ..."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The Admiralty is represented by an open pavilion (right) on the shore, raised above the ground by two steps and having a pediment inscribed 'Adma--y'. Within, the Lords of the Admiralty are fast asleep, while Croker, Secretary to the Admiralty, angrily addresses a deputation of merchants approaching from the left He sits in an arm-chair, legs crossed, holding a paper headed 'List of Ships taken by the Americans'. The two leading petitioners (cf. British Museum Satires No. 12305) hold out respectively the 'Liverpool Petition' and 'Glasgow Petition', saying: "We humbly pray that you will let loose a few of those Bull dogs to protect our property from those American Curs who are Robbing us every day before our faces & as it is you alone who can put a stop to their career & save us from Ruin: we hope our prayers will be attended to." Croker wards them off with outstretched arm, shouting, "What the Devil are you Croaking about?!!! Why they have only taken 840 vessels lately & what is that, to such a great nation as this!" The Lords of the Admiralty, two civilians and two in naval uniform, are grouped round a circular table. A civilian reclines in an arm-chair, his gouty legs supported on a stool; he holds a paper: 'Taken last night 14 vessels this morng 20 vessels by ye Americans'. Beside them are fierce bulldogs, muzzled and heavily chained to staples, representing the Navy. On the wall are four pictures of naval battles: 'Shannon & Chesapeak' (see British Museum Satires No. 12080), 'Glorious 1st of June' (see British Museum Satires No. 8469, &c.), 'Nile' (see British Museum Satires No. 9250, &c.), 'Trafalgar' (see British Museum Satires No. 10442, &c.). From the architrave is festooned drapery inscribed: 'Good Merchants do not weep we are not dead but fast asleep.' Nelson, cloud-borne, looks down at the sleeping men, saying with arm extended, "Awake! Arise! or be for ever fallen." Two of the petitioners (left) talk together; one points angrily to the sea where a line of captured British ships is sailing off to the left ; nearer shore are the mast and spars of a sunken ship. He says: "See what they do! even in the Chaps of the Channel!!! Why! bye & bye they will be coming up the River: & taking all our Wherries & Funnies!!!" The other answers: "Faith if they do that will be Wherry Funny indeed"."--British Museum online catalogue
