- Abstract
-
"The heads and shoulders of two angry men are in close proximity, their profiles almost touching. The Scot (left) wears a Scots cap over his short unkempt hair, on it is an oval badge of a crowned thistle. Over his shoulders is a tartan plaid. The Englishman wears an ill-fitting wig, and on his coat the number '45', reminiscent of Wilkes and the North Briton, and a Tudor rose in a medallion. Each glares at the other with staring eye-balls; the Scot is lean and fierce, with closed mouth and projecting under jaw; John Bull is fat, with gaping mouth."--British Museum online catalogue
