"A young man in civilian dress, Battier, and two officers of the Tenth Hussars, are having their shaved heads inspected by six grotesque practitioners of phrenology, two to each. On the wall, besides pendent skulls, is a placard : Craniums examined and fitness developed.-- 1. Penetration--2. Folly--3. Insolence--4. Conceit--5- Benevolence--6. Ideality--7. Civility--8. Self Love 9. Brutality 10. Pride with Ignorance! Battier is identified by a paper at his feet, To Co . Bat**; he has a head of ideal shape; one expert says to the other: No, wont do for the 10th to omuch of No. 1-- 5 and 7--. One officer (left) sits in back view, he has a grotesquely misshapen head with lateral protuberances; the inspecting expert says to his colleague: No. 9 Conspicuously. The other (right) sits in profile; he is without a forehead, with an absurdly extended back to his head. One phrenologist, smelling his cane, says: No 3 and 4 very clear. The other adds: Heres the 10th the 10th the 10 to a demonstration."--British Museum online catalogue

"An African chief displays to a naval officer three black women, who stand together (right), grinning and coy, and absurdly squat and obese, with huge posteriors like those of the Hottentot Venus (see British Museum satire no. 11577). The officer, Lieut. Lyon, bows in profile to the right, right hand on his breast, staring with humorous and wary appraisal at the women. The chief, who smiles blandly, seated on a low slab, wears a huge nose-ring, a plume of ostrich feathers, and a sword for which his left ear serves as hilt. Immediately behind him is a bodyguard of four warriors holding tall spears on each of which a skull is transfixed. Two grin, one looks with sour possessiveness at the women. All the Africans are very negroid, and naked except for small aprons. Behind the women are more Africans, much amused. Behind Lyon stand an astonished naval officer and two amused military officers; all are in dress uniform. Behind these are grinning sailors and on the extreme left the tips of the bayonets of the escort, with a Union flag."--British Museum online catalogue
