A grotesque caricature attacking the much-debated 1820 settlement scheme which encouraged English people to settle in South Africa, where they were promised fertile land and a pleasant climate. In the print, a working-class English family are shown being attacked by a snake, lion and crocodile while highly stereotyped and racist depictions of the local population are seen cannibalizing the family and burning down their home

"A scene in the Lords. A large Green Bag stands wide open on the floor before the Woolsack; John Bull, a fat 'cit', takes from it a bottle inscribed 'Imputation' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 13796]; the cork, in the form of a crown, flies up, and smoke rises. Eldon, seated on the Woolsack, one foot regally on a sack inscribed 'Mother Coal', scowls at the bottle; his mouth, like those of the other peers, is closed by a padlock, but he holds up a paper inscribed: 'My Lords-- Right or Wrong we will proceed'. J.B. faces him with arm flung back, exclaiming: "Stop--hear me first--step one Inch if you dare without my consent-- I protest against your Secret Tribunal I'll protect the Queen look at this Bottle--and look at that Reptile." He refers to a serpent wearing a royal crown and representing the King; this issues from a rent in the bag which is inscribed 'The Green Bag Opened'. Peers are grouped near Eldon, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Wellington, and Liverpool being the most prominent. On the right, behind a bar, stands the Queen wearing a small spiky crown, surrounded by three counsel (Brougham, Denman, and Lushington)."--British Museum online catalogue

A coat of arms with three dark bird-like objects within. An armor-clad arm grasping a sword is above, and mantling, flowers, and leaves surrounds the crest. A nude cherub wearing a winged helmet and holding aloft a caduceus in his right hand stands among some books, scrolls, and a quill pen with inkwell.
A scene with a large caduceus at center, with a crown at the top of the staff. The caduceus divides the scene into two portions: to the left, in the upper half, is the University of Pennsylvania's coat of arms, featuring two books and a dolphin on the chief, and a chevron with three roundels beneath. The motto Leges sine moribus vanae surrounds the shield. To the lower left is a woman displaying two rulers and a compass. To the right of the caduceus, in the upper right-hand corner, is the University of Chicago's coat of arms, featuring the motto Crescat scientia; vita excolatur in the chief, and a large phoenix beneath. To the lower right is a woman playing the mandolin.
