The Queen, grossly caricatured, sits on a zebra which stands in a round band-box with a hinged and upturned lid inscribed 'a Present from Bart. Bergami'. The zebra has the (profile) head of Wood, looking with greedy and imbecile satisfaction towards a sieve of food inscribed 'Garden of St Cath[erine]'. This is held out by two hands projecting from the right margin. The Queen, with a grin both calculating and insane, sits full-face, negligently holding reins attached to Wood's mouth, her right hand on her hip. She sits in a smaller (bottomless) band-box which surrounds her entirely from just below her large waist down, with only one leg extended below. She wears a décolletée dress; on her head is an erection of feathers and flowers rising from a circlet inscribed 'Wood'. An owl (cf. British Museum satires no. 14199) flies by her head. In the background is Brandenburgh House, in front of which is a braying ass

"Heading to a printed broadside. Four Ministers, summoned by the King, sit at a table bending over a crown broken into two pieces. Sidmouth (right), tilting forward his seat, which is a commode, holds his clyster-pipe; in his pocket is a bottle labelled 'Strong Mixture'. He says: "There seems to have been a flaw in it for some years it only required a slight tap to do all the mischief." Liverpool, next him, says: "Some Foreign Cement or a decoction of steel lozenges [see British Museum Satires No. 13513] properly applied may stick them together for the present, but I'm afraid it won't last long, the parts seem of opposite compositions." Castlereagh says, with a sinister smile: "By the Ghost of my Father I will hold it together by a Tringular [sic] Proceeding. & whip it all round" [see British Museum Satires No. 14135]. Wellington, dressed as a field-marshal, and wearing cavalry boots with huge spurs, sits in a chair decorated with military emblems; he says: "Steel filings and leaded paste is the only Composition to be depended on." At his feet are bayonets and cannon-balls, with (left) a cannon, and a huge ball inscribed 'Bolus'. Behind Sidmouth stands George IV (right) in consultation with Eldon; he weeps, holding his handkerchief to his eye, and says, pointing to his Ministers: "Cant Sid my Tool and L--r--pl, Some how contrive to mend it." Eldon, in Chancellor's wig and gown, holds the lower end of the mace against his chin with a puzzled scowl. He answers: "Dash my Wig if I know what to do! my head's in Chancery." Beside him are two 'Old Green Bags done with' [see British Museum Satires Nos. 13735, 13986]. At the King's feet is a paper: 'Straight Jacket'. By Sidmouth's chair are papers: 'A Blister for the Radicals if they Kick up a Row'; 'A Gagging Bandage', with a pot of 'Poison for the Q . . .' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 13868]. Also the words 'Filth', 'Dirt'. On the extreme left, John Bull, a stout and formidable 'cit', is seated on a bale inscribed 'Knowledge is Power' [see British Museum Satires No. 14005]. One hand is on his hip, the other on a bludgeon of 'English Oak'. He says, frowning at the Ministers: "I think the following prescription would be the best Cement, a handful of reformation; a large portion of the abolition of Sinicures [sic], a ladle full of the reduction of Taxes, with a plentiful solution of the Oil of Just Claims, and attention to the wants of an industrious part of the Community, would more safely ensure a permanent union with the separate pieces than all the cement or steel lozengers [sic] in the world." The Queen looks in through a small window, Wood looking over her shoulder; they watch the proceedings, tense and indignant. Above the King's head is a shelf of 'Chinese Toys from Hot Creek': a little pagoda flanked by figures of (left) a fat lady and a thin man (the Conynghams) and (right) a squatting obese man (the King). The last two of seven verses (of a 'New Version'): "She claims a share "To all (I swear!) "That I possess;--but mind her "Good C--tl--gh, "Look sharp--d'y' see "There's Radicals behind her. "A stronger pill "'S required still "Than G--ff--d's famous lotion; "Your brains well shake, "The corners rake, To give the jade a motion."--British Museum online catalogue

"Heading to a broadside printed in two columns. A scene in the grounds of Brandenburgh House (see British Museum Satires No. 13852). Bergami (see British Museum Satires No. 13731), dressed as a courier, capers, flourishing a whip with a long heavy lash. He points complacently to the house, where a tiny figure, the Queen, extends welcoming arms. He has thick curly hair and moustache, and from his neck hangs a miniature portrait (of the Queen). Alderman Wood, as an old woman, dressed as in British Museum Satires No. 13736, advances towards him, holding out his furred alderman's gown. On the right is the river, with a large house on the opposite bank.

"Stoddart sits in the centre of the design blowing through a trumpet a blast of abuse towards the newly-arrived Queen (left) while holding out copies of his newspaper towards four ragged little newsboys (right), who also blow their horns with great vigour. Queen Caroline, tall, dignified, and demurely dressed in black, flinches from Stoddart's blast, and is protected by Britannia and Alderman Wood. She says: "Surely thos Fellows will not be suffered to Insult me in this manner? who is it that Sets them on? who encourages them." Britannia, seated on a very angry Lion, extends her arms, saying: "Welcome Beloved of thy People, the Mother of Englands lost -- & ever to be lamented Hope, will ever be dear to the Hearts of every true born Englishman." Wood, wearing an Alderman's gown, tries to protect her with a shield inscribed: 'No more Douglas's an Englishman's Rights, Justice & Truth'. From Stoddart's trumpet issue the words: 'Treason, Crim Con, no Rights, no Claims, no pretensions, no Prerogatives, no Patronage, no Property, no Soul to be Prayed for, no Justice, no Law, no Protection, Woe to them that espouse her Cause, Woe to them that Speak well of her!!!' At his feet lie newspapers: 'New Times', 'Morning Post', 'Courier'. Castlereagh and Sidmouth (right), who extend admonitory fingers, urge him on: the former says: "hit hard--dont spare now Dr Slop here is a fine Oppertunity for you to indulge your Spleen." Sidmouth, larger than life and shockingly malevolent, says: "Blow away my boys, spread it far and near, lay it on thick, do not stand for Trifles!!!" The biggest newsboy has a bill headed 'New Times' in his hat; another holds a bundle of the 'Courier', 'New Times', and '[Morning] Post'. A third has 'News' in his hat. Behind and between Stoddart and Castlereagh a man capers in ecstasy, waving a hat in which is a paper: 'Pardon for Edwards'. He exclaims: "Now I shall have a Job again and get better paid than before.""--British Museum online catalogue

"A burlesque coronation of the Queen. She sits enthroned on a dais, raising her right foot with tipsy joviality. In her right hand as sceptre is a rod topped by a tiny cask which a naked Bacchus bestrides. The orb in her left hand is a decanter; on her head is a tilting punch-bowl. She watches her champion Wood (left) (acting the part of Dymoke, cf. British Museum Satires No. 14193), a grotesque figure in armour on a caparisoned ass (see British Museum Satires No. 14146). He has just thrown down the glove, pulling his braying mount on to its haunches, and looks up with a fatuous stare at the Queen. His helmet is topped by an owl from which clouds of smoke ascend (cf. British Museum Satires No. 14196). John Bull (right), a 'cit' wearing an ill-fitting wig and top-boots, stoops to pick up the glove, supporting himself by a cudgel inscribed My God My King a[nd my] Country. Between these two foreground figures stands a ragged newsboy holding his horn, the paper in his cap inscribed Brandy burgh [cf. British Museum Satires No. 14191] Gazette; slung from his shoulders is a large sheaf of his newspaper, Brandyburg Gazette Extraordinary--Baron B.....i to be Il Baron par Excellence--Ad- W - - d to be Earl Log [see British Museum Satires No. 14189]--Lady A H [Anne Hamilton] to be Spinster for Life--L. H - - d to be Marquis Doodle. Attendants are grouped round the Queen on the dais, which is under festooned curtains. These are (left to right): Denman and Brougham, in wig and gown, applauding and gesturing; two turbaned Turks; Bergami, handsome and complacent, at the Queen's right hand. Slightly behind are a simian face, Lady Anne Hamilton wearing the feathered Scots cap of British Museum Satires No. 14175, and another woman, Italian in appearance (probably Countess Oldi). Behind the Queen's chair on the right are two hooded figures, the more prominent, who holds a decanter, being Viscount Hood, the other perhaps Keppel Craven. Two naval officers must be Hownam and Flinn. On the canopy of the throne behind the Queen are her arms; the quarterings are wine-glasses, bottles, a tent (see British Museum Satires No. 13818), and a bath containing a tiny figure (see British Museum Satires No. 13819). The supporters are a satyr and a goat; the motto, Bergami and My Bottle [see British Museum Satires No. 14175]. On the extreme left, supported on Gothic arches, is a gallery crowded with ladies, as in Westminster Abbey at the Coronation. On a lower level, seen through the arches of the Abbey, is a dense proletarian crowd with banners, pikes, and caps of Liberty. The characters are indicated by inscriptions divided by vertical lines, as in British Museum Satires No. 14182, and centred by a cartouche. These are (left to right): Mobility in Attendance. The Champion of Absolute Wisdom [see British Museum Satires No. 13899] on his renowned Steed. The Keepers of her Majesty's Conscience [her Counsel]. Her Majesty's Lord Great Chamberlain Her Majesty's Privy Counsellor Knight Commander of the Bath Chief Performer of the Canopy Service and Courier Extraordinary [Bergami]. Hooded Doodles in Waiting [Lord Hood and his companion]. Barons of the Bedposts. Performers of the Canopy Service [the naval officers]. In the cartouche: If any Person of what degree soever, high or low, shall deny or gainsay our Puppet C . r . l . . e Columbina [see British Museum Satires No. 14120] of Brandy-burgh House, of the United Kingdoms of Soberness and Chastity, Defender of the easy Virtues &c &c the Right of being Crowned with a crown Bowl of Imperial Punch, or that she should not enjoy the same, here is her Champion, who saith he doth not care a Drug, being ready in person to lay a bet that she is, and in this wager will venture his Eighteen Pence against a Shilling wherever, and whenever his Adversary may choose."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The interior of a thieves' kitchen or cellar into which a steep flight of steps (left) descends. All the inmates have seen Matthew Wood, the Mayor, followed by constables, coming quietly down the stairs except for a sleeping woman and a watchman seated with his back to the stairs and holding up a glass of gin. He says, with a grin, to a terrified woman who falls over backwards, kicking his hand: "You had like'd to have kick'd the Blue Ruin [gin, generally bad gin, from c. 1810; Partridge, 'Slang Dict'., 1938] out of my hand, come let's have our Old toast! Industrious Thieves, and Idle Magistrates." The woman screams: "Oh the Night Mare!! we're ruind by the Lord." A man wearing top-boots crouches behind her chair, trying to hide his plunder, a watch, seals, &c., under his hat. He says: "We are dish'd Bet by G-- if I escape I'll live honestly as long as this chaps in Office --for he'l ruin the Consarn!" Two men and a woman try to escape through a door: she says: "D-- his Eyes when does he sleep!!" The watchman wears a helmet-like hood, a long coat with his rattle thrust through the belt, his staff and (smoking) lantern lie on the floor. Wood is handsome and fashionably dressed in a long frogged overcoat. He says to the constables: "Here's a pretty fellow for a Guardian of the Night--Blue Ruin shall bring him to the Black hole!"."--British Museum online catalogue

"George IV (three-quarter length), surrounded by admiring Ministers, holds up a big extinguisher made of paper and inscribed 'Speech from the Throne', which he is about to place over a crowd of tiny Jacobins who surround the Queen and Alderman Wood. All these 'Lilliputians' are on a round table, whose top forms the base of the design except on the right. The terrified Jacobins fall on to papers inscribed 'Libels', 'Address' [twice], 'Sedition'. Alderman Wood steps on the back of one in a frantic effort to escape with the Queen whom he holds in his arms. She is a fat virago, holding up a fire-brand (cf. British Museum Satires No. 13895) inscribed 'Sedition', whose smoke rises into the extinguisher, and a large money-bag, '50 000 per Ann', labelled 'Crumbs of Consolation'. Other Jacobins flee to left and right, escaping the extinguisher, but either falling calamitously from the table, or about to be grasped by the hand of Eldon who sits at the table (left). They have banners and caps of Liberty on poles (or pikes). Among the fugitives is a Don Quixote (left) in armour, wearing Mambrino's helmet, galloping off on horseback, holding a banner. A terrified Jacobin (right) drops a 'Tailors Adress'. Ministers watch the approaching extinction with pleasure: Eldon has a grim smile, Sidmouth and Castlereagh behind him register, one eager delight, the other bland satisfaction. Wellington (right), close behind the King, smiles triumphantly, Liverpool beside him, is in profile, surprised, pleased, and imbecile. The King, three-quarter length, is a cynical Adonis, in military uniform. Behind his head is a framed picture: an irradiated sun containing features dispels dark clouds, putting bats, serpent, owl, &c., to flight; beside it is a dark disk containing the features of the Queen, in eclipse (reversing the situation in British Museum Satires No. 14012)."--British Museum online catalogue
