Abstract:: "The Queen (left) and King sit side by side on a double throne, almost back to back, while turning their eyes warily towards each other. They wear royal robes, the King is caricatured; at his knee is a rosette in the centre of which a bottle is depicted; he holds orb and sceptre. She is comely but stout, her dress unduly defining her figure. The Archbishop, gross and bloated, stands behind the throne, sourly placing a large crown on the King's head. The Queen, who holds a fan, says: Oh! the Brute, but I'll teaze him. He says: What a D--n'd thing I cannot shake her off, she is as artfull as the Devil,--curse Matrimony."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:: "A satire on Cambridge. The interior of a large room showing two sash windows, through one of which (left) is seen part of the south side of the Senate House, through the other, the tower of St. Mary's Church, both drawn with topographical accuracy. Between the two windows is a niche in which is a statue of Athene holding her shield; in her outstretched left hand is held out a laurel wreath towards some men beneath her who have entered from a door on the right. Her owl sits beside her on the stump of a tree. ... Immediately below Athene, and concealing the lower part of her draperies a man stands on a high rostrum covered with a cloth. He wears a furred academic gown and bands, and holds out a rolled document in his right hand. Immediately below the rostrum a man, not in academic dress, is seated at a table writing. He is in profile to the right looking towards four men who have entered from the right through an open door, apparently 'professors of Arts and Sciences', whose names he is recording. The foremost of these is a dancing-master who stands holding a bow in his right hand, a kit or small fiddle in his left. Next is a rough-looking elderly man wearing a round hat and long coat. The other two are middle-aged, one holding his hat and a cane and accompanied by a dog. On the left, and behind the chair of the man writing, are two other 'professors'; a fencing-master, wearing a fencing-jacket, stands in back view, turning his head in profile to the right, his left arm raised, holding his foil horizontally. Behind him stands a thin man wearing a hat, one hand in his waistcoat pocket, the other thrust in his waistcoat."--British Museum catalogue, description of a later state

Abstract:: "George IV, dressed as a Turk, marches arrogantly past a row of ladies of his harem, holding a large goblet whose contents are spilling. He wears a jewelled turban with the high peak of a fool's cap, terminating in a bell. The end of his long furred robe is held by a thin man (left) wearing a turban decorated with antlers to indicate Lord Conyngham; the latter's arms and legs are bare, and he shambles along, carrying a decanter. The King says: "Variety is charming. Constancy is not for me, so Ladies pray take warning." The seven ladies, all fat and all in quasi-Turkish dress with turbans, watch him intently."--British Museum online catalogue and "Illustration to a verse satire on the life of George IV, in which the villain is Queen Charlotte. The design may derive from prints of the Prince and Lord Jersey in 1796, especially Gillray's 'Grand-Signior retiring' (British Museum Satires No. 8807). In British Museum Satires No. 8809 there is a picture of the Prince as a Turk among his harem. Among the seven here depicted, but scarcely characterized, are probably, besides Lady Conyngham and Lady Hertford, the Duchess of Richmond, and Mrs. Quentin. The print appears in British Museum Satires No. 14030; a similar print is in British Museum Satires No. 14049."--Curator's comments, British Museum online catalogue
