Abstract:: "Fantastic scene at a London street corner which abuts on open country, the roadway deep in mud. A coach and pair advances left to right; the coachman has laid down reins and whip to read the Times through spectacles, the footman standing behind is deep in a book. A ragged but monocled street-sweeper on stilts sweeps towards a small child half-submerged in mud, and a lady in a monstrous hat who picks her way through the slough. On the foreground pavement a butcher and a dustman play chess, holding the board between them. One sits on a great joint of beef, the other on a bag; a dog runs off with a bullock's heart. A ragged ballad-singer plays a guitar, screeching operatically; her small child holds up a parasol. Two climbing boys with misshapen legs argue with each other, one uses a handkerchief. Two servants in livery walk arm-in-arm, one smoking a huge pipe (like the footman in BM Satires No. 15779). An apple-woman seated against a lamp-post reads Byron, while a boy sneaks an apple. The lamp-post is topped by a flaming sun, presumably of gas. A dust-cart is drawn by two asses tandem, with a postilion on the leader; the dustman, seated on his load (instead of walking with it) plays a 'cello. On the opposite pavement are three tiny street musicians: a fashionably dressed woman sings from a sheet of music to the accompaniment of a harpist and flautist with music-stand. In the background is steam-traffic: (1) a steam carriage for two with three wheels, a tall smoking funnel, and a pendent coal-scuttle, all but the last much as 'Mr D. Gordon's New Steam Coach, illustrated and described', Observer, 30 Dec, 1827. (2) A large steam lorry on which soldiers with bayoneted muskets sit in rows. A small carriage with a steersman and two passengers is drawn by a kite (a kite-drawn carriage was displayed in Regent's Park, Jan. 1828, described by Pückler-Muskau, Tour in England, 1948, p. 218). Behind is a narrow channel crossed by a suspension bridge linking Dover to Calais; another branch of the Channel is crossed by The . . . Tunnel (oddly drawn), the top of which collapses under the impact of a ship, so that water pours down. An aerial battleship supported by two balloons attacks three ships immediately below; they sink under a rain of flame and cannon-balls. There are also an ordinary balloon, a flying-machine drawn by wild geese, and an aerial vessel which collides with the moon. The foreground buildings are one vast shop-window and the adjacent house; over the window: Business of this Shop on a larger scale than any other house in London. The window is filled with draperies and ladies' huge hats (cf. BM Satires No. 15628). A lady, with a giant hat, pin-point waist, and vast sleeves, stares in. The adjoining house of the same height is three stories high, the principal floor with street-door, bow-windows, balconies, and awning is at the top; passengers are being hauled up to it by a man using a windlass to hoist chairs up a vertical chute from the street."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: A series of ten images showing the rise and fall of the Fox-North Coalition. In the first image, Charles Fox, shown as a fox, speaks to the crowd in front of the Covent Garden Church. In the second one, Lord North, the 'country gentleman' leading sheep on strings, makes an agreement with Fox, who leads the 'Wes[tminste]r geese' on strings. The third image shows Fox speaking to a crowd in a rotunda, while in the fourth one he is stoking a fire around a pole topped with the liberty cap and the India charter suspended from it. In the fifth image, North and Fox, sharing one coat, stand on a plinth signed, "Power." The sixth image shows Fox ascending in an air balloon while the next one shows him falling head-down into a "pitt." In the eighth image, the two politicians are being rejected by the figure of Britannia, who refuses to look at them, instead pointing to the gallows in the background. This condemnation results in their execution, together with Burke, in the ninth image. In the tenth image, all three are shown as well-known mythological sinners in Hades; Burke submerged up to his neck as Tantalus, Fox stretched on a wheel as Iion, and North as Sisyphus pushing a large boulder
