- Abstract:
- "A game of billiards is being played on a table, one corner of which only is visible, so curiously elongated that it gives the impression of a triangular table. The two players stand by the corner of the table, the one who is about to make a stroke appears from his leanness, frogged coat, and long pigtail queue to be a Frenchman; he leans over the table in profile to the left, wearing pince-nez. His opponent watches him, standing on top-toe, his cue held over his left shoulder, his face screwed up in anxiety; he wears a bag-wig. A number of spectators look on with expressions of amusement or concern: on the right two men stand together grinning; on the left a man watches open-mouthed; behind the table a man watches with an expression of alarm, another takes cover behind him with a grin; a small boy stands beside them. In the foreground are two dogs, one, a greyhound, stands between the player's legs. On the wall behind the table is a rack of cues and two clock-faced scoring boards both pointing to the figure X. On the right is a door, on the left a small casement window. Pictures and prints decorate the wall (left to right): a print of Wilkes (bust) with two caps of liberty; a print of a nymph and satyr; a print of a man seated, three quarter length; a print of a man and woman whole-length; two framed landscapes."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "The Duke of York sits on a settee with a courtesan on each knee, Mrs. Clarke (left) and (presumably) Mrs. Carey (right). One foot rests on large volumes of 'Army Accompts'; by the other is a smaller book: 'Ovid Art of Love'. A chair is overturned; the Duke's (broken) sword transfixes a paper: 'Promotions, My Foot Boy' [Carter, see British Museum Satires No. 11223], 'Foster 200 ... 150, Smalcroft200....' [see British Museum Satires No. 11227]. On a round table are decanters, fruit, a stand of jelly-glasses. Above the Duke hangs a picture of the Prodigal Son watching swine at a trough, inscribed: 'I will Arise and Go To my Fa[ther]'. Mrs. Clarke, unnoticed by the Duke, makes a sign to Wardle (right) who enters the room holding out a paper: 'The Duty which I Owe to my Country is Paramount to Every Other Concideration' [the tenor of the opening of his speech of 27 Jan. attacking the Duke). He is followed by a crowd of shadowy figures carrying a gibbet, an axe, and a statue of Justice."--British Museum online catalogue

- Satire with two naval officers (one of whom is the Duke of Clarence caricatured, with heavy jowl, protruding lips, and small slanting eye) abusing each other at table, observed by a civilian who winks and holds a finger to the side of his nose. The naval officer on the right says, "Why, they say there is always a fool in every family, & they generally send him to Sea." The Duke of Clarence in the middle responds, " How the Devil came you to put into the Navy, Captain." The civilian to the right, observes, "Britons strike home!!!" On the table are plates of fruit and wine glasses with two carafes one of which is labeled "Goose" and a booklet entitled "An essay on Government by Jordan". Two pictures on the wall in the background illustrate the theme: on the left, the image shows a man (King George) holds the arm of a crying young cadet, a sword between his legs, carries the title "Win them first then wear them." On the right, "On board the London" is an image of two officers fighting while two big sailors smile as they watch

- Abstract:
- "Mrs. Coutts (right), fat, swarthy, and moustached, sits at a table, holding out a cheque for £100.000 to Lord Burford. Her Cheque Book lies on the table. He steps forward, hat in hand, left hand on breast, in profile to the right. She says: Why you seem to be a good looking hard working young fellow, but I must tell you my business is extensive And I shall expect you will employ your time day and night for the benefit of the Concern, you must also be humble and submissive, should this be realized on Trial I will make you a Sleeping Partner. And here's a trifle for you to buy a pair of gloves. He answers with eager deference: You may depend upon it Madam I shall endeavour to give you every satisfaction. I shall be very attentive and if I can't get through the business as you like, you are at liberty to employ an Assistant. Mrs. Coutts is décolletée and bejewelled, wearing a turban trimmed with a paradise-plume. The gold-bordered tablecloth is weighted with balls inscribed £20,000 and £9,000. Large money-bags are on the floor behind her: £800,000 and . . . 000. Under her chair are a glass and a decanter of White Tape. Behind her is a picture of heaped sovereigns and money-bags. Other pictures are a cow looking over the wall of Mrs C--s Dairy, and (left) a castle: View near St Albans. The chairs are decorated with coins pouring from cornucopias."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Three men sit, singing a catch, with a round table between them. A British officer (perhaps Cotton), wearing a cocked hat, sits in profile to the right, facing Dalrymple who sits (right) with tightly closed mouth, his hands on his knees. Between them, but with his chair from Dalrymple, sits a man in Spanish (here Portuguese) dress, wearing a feathered hat. The British officer sings: T'was You Sir-Hew - Twas Hew. that let the French Escape, That makes you look so blue Sir-Hew Sir Hew! He and the Portuguese (perhaps Freire) point minatory hands at Dalrymple, whose face is painted lead colour. On the wall are two pictures: (above the Portuguese) 'A correct representation of the French Plunderers stopt in their progress by the Spanish Patriots.' [at Baylen] and (above Dalrymple): 'A Correct representation of the French Plunderers quitting Portugal for France - under a British Escort.' In one a long train of wagons is stopped by armed men, in the other are ships in full sail. On the table are glasses and decanters of 'Port and Calcavella'."--British Museum online catalogue
