Abstract:
A soldier with a long stick in his left hand stands in front of wall baiting a muzzled and chained brown bear that stands upright and facing him, paws curled. Off to the right, a second soldier stands behind the first and plays a horn; he also holds a stick in the crock of his left arm. On the far left, a third man, with his back to the viewer, observes the bear, his right arm bent suggesting that he is addressing a comment to the soldier?

"George IV (left), not caricatured, and John Bull (right) face each other across an ale-house table on which are a jug and two tumblers. The King wears the caped coat of an amateur coach-driver with top-boots and a bulky scarf. His right hand rests on a cane, his left arm on the table; he looks towards J. B. through almost closed eyelids, saying, 'I believe Mr Bull you are no great admirer of His M*****y?' J. B. is a respectably-dressed countryman with gaiters above the knee. He takes a long pipe from his mouth to answer: 'You are quite mistaken Sir, I only wish I liked any one about or belonging to him half so well.'"--British Museum online catalogue
