A simple drayman stands scratching his head as he stops to talk to a man who sits on a wooden crate as he drinks from a tankard outside a country inn. A pretty woman stands in the doorway (the sign for the inn just visible over her head) holding another large tankard of foaming beer in her hands; beside her a short country man smokes his pipe, his beer on the bench beside the trough. On the right in the background, unnoticed by the party at the inn, one man helps a woman climb a ladder into the back of the wagon as another in the wagon helps her climb

"John Bull, a much overburdened soldier, looks up in angry dismay at a helmet inscribed 'Glory' which Pitt (left) is about to place on his head. He says, "O D----n the Glory I shall never be able to bear it all!" Pitt stands in profile to the right; the large plumed helmet which he holds up in both hands is irradiated. From his pocket hangs a long paper headed 'List of Ships £5000000'. John Bull, short and stout, stands full face wearing a gorget, with two pistols in his belt, a long sabre suspended horizontally from his waist, its blade inscribed 'Twenty more Kill em!' He holds a blunderbuss in his right hand, which fires 'Pop Pop' into the air; a large pike in his left hand, a broadsword held in his left arm; a musket and a huge knapsack are slung on his back. In the foreground are ordnance stores: a barrel (left) inscribed 'Right Richmond double Proof' with cannon-balls, and (right) a cannon, cannon-balls, drum, and flag. In the background a fleet of ships sails from the shore on which stands a cheering crowd."--British Museum online catalogue
