The pose, dress, background, and accessories are closely copied, except that the hood over the Queen's head is pushed back to show a large ear-ring and her hair which is decorated with pearls. The 's' of 'Originals' in the title has been scored through, stressing the identification of 'the Misers'."--British Museum online catalogue

"Frontispiece to a set of eight satirical portraits (British Museum Satires Nos. 8450-7), in which members of the Opposition are travestied as French republicans. With the set is a bonnet-rouge, printed in red on paper cut along the lower edge of the cap so that it can be fitted to the forehead, transforming the subject into the Frenchman of the title. A satyr sits on a pile of large volumes, directed to the left, his head turned with a smile towards the spectator. In his right hand he holds out a large bonnet-rouge with a French cockade, saying, "If the Cap fit put it on". In his left is a large scroll inscribed: 'Illustrious Heads \ designed for a new History \ of \ Republicanism \ in French & English \ dedicated to \ The Opposition \ "... mutato nomine de te" \ Fabula Narratur" NB The work will not be compleat \ till all the heads are taken off.' On his breast is an irradiated head, probably of Truth. The six books forming his seat are: 'Conventional Decrees'; 'Addresses from Societies for Reform in England'; 'Speeches of the Minority'; 'Presbyterian Sermons'; 'Pamphlets'; 'Pamphlets'. Three other volumes form a back to the seat."--British Museum online catalogue

"The artist (left), a partly draped figure with small horns among his loosely curling hair, points with both hands to a picture on an easel (right), turning his head towards the spectator. In front of him (left) is a table on which are his painting-materials: a sheaf of brushes in a pot, palette, charcoal-holder. On a large canvas a man with the head of a wolf stands wearing a sheepskin with the head on his head and shoulders. In his right hand is a firebrand, the left supports the long staff of a flag inscribed 'Watch Word Peace'. Above it hovers a dove with an olive branch. At his feet stands a snarling wolf, also in sheep's clothing. A mastiff standing beside the artist barks at the (painted) wolf. Against the easel rests a large volume: 'Outlines \ of the \ Opposition \ in 1795 \ collected from the Works \ of the most capital Jacobin Artists \ " They speak Peace to their \ Neighbours, but Mischief is in their hearts, they devise deceiful \ Things against them that are quiet \ in the Land " Psalms'."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a variant state
