"A large green bag with broken seals, inscribed 'Private Property', stands on the ground filled with large ornate pieces of plate, decorated with crowns and the initials 'C.P.W.' This Ministers are rifling; Eldon places on his head a huge bowl, saying: "This Bowl will be an "heir loom" to my descendants--I have it Scot free and I shall have it inscribed with my Titles and emblazon'd with my Arms--" Canning holds on his head a tea-service, saying, "So help me G-- I should not touch an Iota of the Plate, was I not determined to prevent it falling into the hands of Such Rascals." Castlereagh, smiling, helps himself to an urn, saying: "This Urn will be an addition to my Side Board when I get a Dukedome--Our Master has desired us to divide the Contents of this Green bag--I obey orders--." In the doorway (left) stands John Bull in a smock; he waves his hat to a throng of country people who are running towards him, saying: "Theives! Theives!! Let us protect private property!!!" The country people shout "Stop Theif!!"; "Assist the Q--n"; "Robbers!!"; "Plunderers!!" On the right Sidmouth and a man in court-dress hurry off each with a (green) sack of 'Plunder' on his back; Sidmouth, carrying a tea-urn, says: "Let us make our Escape my L--d its all over with us let us take care of what we have got." The other, carrying a kettle on his head, says: "This is a pretty kettle of Fish that fellow has given the Alarm and we shall be pursued." They walk towards a flaming fire in the foreground, in which is the Devil pointing his trident at the plunderers, and shouting, "Gentlemen I am come for ye." A pendant to this on the left is a newly-made grave: 'The Grave', with skull, bones, pick, and shovel.."--British Museum online catalogue

"Folding frontispiece to "A Political Lecture on Heads, alias Blockheads!! A Characteristic Poem: . . .Drawn from Craniological Inspection, after the Manner of Doctors Gall and Spurzheim, of Vienna. By Don Juan Asmodeus. London. Printed for the Author, and Published by John Fairburn, 2, Broadway, Ludgate-Hill (Price One Shilling)." Ten half length caricature portraits arranged in two rows, and, except for the last two, in separate compartments, each illustrating a section of the verse-satire. The date is after Peterloo (16 August 1819), see British Museum Satires No. 13258, and before the King's death (29 Jan. 1820). [1] 'Derry-Down-Triangle', Castlereagh, with ass's ears, his head, adorned by a tiny gibbet, turned in profile to the left, holds up a scourge. On a scroll is the motto 'EIREN·GO·BRAY' (see British Museum Satires No. 13301). [2] 'State Jackal', Canning, directed to the left, holds a pistol in each hand. On his head is a triangle, bells hanging from its apex as from a fool's cap. Behind him is a package inscribed 'Lisbon 20.000 weight'. For his much-attacked mission to Lisbon see British Museum Satires No. 12872, for the duel with Castlereagh, British Museum Satires No. 11370, &c. [3] 'Quack Doctor' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 9849], Sidmouth, in profile to the left, holds a pike on which is speared a ball inscribed 'Circular Pills' [see British Museum Satires No. 13282, &c.]. On his head is a pestle and mortar inscribed 'Drugs for John Bull'. At his back is a large 'Bible' (like Liverpool he was an Evangelical). [4] 'Chancery Jack', the shoulders of Eldon, who scowls to the right, emerge from a 'Coal Tub' (as son of a Newcastle hoastman or coal-broker). He wears wig and gown, across his forehead is a bandage inscribed 'In Chancery'; from his mouth issues the word 'Equity'. [5] Liverpool, in profile to the left, spoons into his mouth liquid from a bowl of 'Water Gruel for the Poor' held in his left hand. On his head is a round tea-tray inscribed '£4.000'; on this are two cups and an urn inscribed 'Cordial Tea'. [6] 'Croaking-Frog--' Croker sits, pen in hand, in profile to the left; on his head is a frog. At his shoulder is a flag inscribed Dry . Rot . In . Navy' above two broken anchors. He says "Fal de Raltit," and before him is a paper: 'Talavira [sic] Algiers 2000'. He has an oddly shaped seat, resting his arm on a 'Quarterly Review', above a longer (curved) block inscribed 'Couriers'. (He was Secretary to the Admiralty, see British Museum Satires No. 12310, author of 'Talavera', a leading contributor to the 'Quarterly', and (with Arbuthnot) manager of the Press for the Ministry.) [7] 'Dunderass--' Lord Melville (First Lord of the Admiralty), in tartan, is in profile to the left, holding a pinch of snuff. Across his chest is a broad band: 'Pickings of Dad 60.000 [see British Museum Satires No. 10377, &c.] Place 10.000.' He wears a curious head-dress topped by a man-of-war surrounded by smoke. [8] 'Waterloo-Man--' Wellington, so styled by Hone, see British Museum Satires No. 13302, stands in profile to the left, wearing a cocked hat on which stands a cannon. He holds a dagger transfixing a bleeding heart; behind his back is a bundle inscribed 'Iquisition' [sic], across his chest is a placard: 'Coruption [sic] Prize . Money £60.000 Allowances £200.000 &c &c.' The text is a savage attack, e.g.: His soldiers 'sav'd the Spanish nation'; | Sav'd them--to send them to perdition | By 'Ferdinand's' crust [sic] 'Inquisition' [see British Museum Satires No. 13009] and (on Waterloo): The 'General' he'd not aught to do | But scenes of triumph to review [having lingered in Brussels]. For the campaign against pensions see British Museum Satires No. 12781, &c. [9 and 10] 'Chere-Amie', Lady Hertford in profile to the right, holds a sceptre and wears a crown-like coronet. She offers the Regent a large goblet of 'Noyau', saying, "Take another sup my Jewel. Grand-Lama--" The Regent leans back tipsily, his eyes almost closed. A little demon, holding a firebrand, flies towards him, flinging a noose at his head. See British Museum Satires No. 11853."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A fashionably dressed lady and gentleman are seated facing each other, a tea-table between them. She wears an enormous 'derrière' and a projecting bosom; a round hat with a huge brim surrounded by a curtain frill of lace, through which her eyes and much-curled hair are visible. He wears a tight-fitting coat with a high collar, large buttons, and projecting shirt-frill. His hair or wig is in a looped queue with large side-curls. He looks at himself in a pocket-mirror with a satisfied air. His cane and round hat are on a chair behind him. The 'antient' dresses are those of the three quarter length portraits on the wall: in the centre are a gentleman and lady standing together in early Georgian dress, each holds a crook, a bird sits on the lady's finger. This is flanked by a lady (left) in quasi-Elizabethan dress, wearing a conical hat, a ruff, and a hooped petticoat in the form of a cylinder; and a man (right) wearing a high hat, cloak, slashed doublet, and breeches, holding a hooded hawk."--British Museum online catalogue
