- Abstract:
- "Pitt as Don Quixote (and Petruchio) bestrides a sorry rosinante, the white horse of Hanover, scarred and decrepit and apparently at the point of death. Behind him sits the King of Prussia. Holland, as Sancho Panza, on the animal's hind-quarters, clasps Prussia round the waist. The Sultan, on the extreme left, crouches behind the horse, kissing its tail. Pitt, who holds a whip, points a thin mail-clad hand arrogantly at Catherine of Russia (right), a stout woman who has sunk in terror to her knees, but is supported by the Emperor Leopold and by France, a grotesquely lean Frenchman of the old régime, wearing a cocked hat ornamented with fleur-de-lis. Pitt wears Mambrino's helmet (the barber's basin) surmounted by a crown and a feather. He says: ""Katharine, that cap of yours becomes you not; "Off with that bauble, 'tis my royal will." The 'cap' is a crescent in her hair, symbolizing her conquests from Turkey and, more especially, Oczakoff, the place in dispute. Pitt's horse (George III), says, weeping, "Heigho! to have myself thus rid to death, by a Boy & his playmates, merely to frighten an Old Woman - I wish I was back in Hanover to get myself a belly full". A holster on the animal's neck is inscribed 'G.R', but the 'G' has been struck out and replaced by 'P' (to indicate that Pitt has usurped the prerogative of the Crown, cf. BMSat 7479, &c). The King of Prussia, with his chin on Pitt's shoulder, glares fiercely; he holds a drawn sabre and says, "Blood & Dunder, I would give her one good Prussian stroking". Sancho Panza, a fat Dutchman, says, "I'm in a good humour to give her a dram of right Holland's". The crouching Turk cries obsequiously, "Amman! Amman! Anglois, Alia, Alia". Catherine is terrified, she turns away from Pitt exclaiming: ""I see my Lances are but straws; "My strength is weak, my weakness past compare; "And am asham'd, that Women are so simple "To offer War when they should kneel for Peace." France says, "O, by Gar! if Mirabeau was but 'live! Sacre Dieu." The Emperor, who is crowned, and wears a cloak on which is the Habsburg eagle, says, "Das is de devil, to give up all again". Beside Catherine is a sword tying across a plan of a fortress, Oczakow."--British Museum online catalogue.

- Abstract:
- "A design in two compartments, one above the other, the figures in both being three quarter length. [1] A ragged French barber, in profile to the right, gesticulating and capering, says to six terror-stricken companions: "O sacre dieu! de King is escape! de King is escape". The foremost listener is a tailor, his shears stuck through the string of his apron, a measuring-tape round his shoulders, but wearing a cocked hat and sword. On the extreme left is a diminutive postboy. All are much caricatured with expressions denoting dismay. The barber wears a bag-wig, with a comb stuck in his hair; the others wear tricolour cockades in their hats. [2] Another group of ruffians listen with delight to a cook (left) who says, taking a pinch of snuff, and capering, "Aha! be gar, de King is retaken! Aha! Monsr Lewis is retaken! Aha!" In his cap is a tricolour cockade inscribed 'Liberty'; he wears over-sleeves, a spoon and fork are stuck through his apron-string, a string of frogs hangs from his belt. His most prominent listener is a shoe-black with a grotesquely wide grin, who stands, shoe in one hand, brush in the other. These much-caricatured ragamuffins are typical of the French republicans depicted by Gillray: at once ludicrous and horrible."--British Museum online catalogue.

- Abstract:
- "Sheridan and Fox are prisoners behind a bar on which they lean. Burke towers above them, with a stern frown, seizing each by the hair. He says: ""Behold the abettors of Revolutions, see "the authors of Plots & conspiracies, & take cognizance of the enemies of both "Church & State; - "I know them all, & have a while upheld, the unyok'd "humour of their Wickedness," - I have bore [sic] with them 'till the measure "of their iniquity is full; but now, I will bare them before ye Justice of injured "humanity, - I will prove unequivocally, that there exists at the present "moment, a junto of Miscreant Jacobites [sic], who are aiming at the Over-"throw of the British Constitution" - Vide Burkes Speech on the Quebec Bill - ". Sheridan (left) in profile to the left, his hands clasped, says with a terrified expression, "Ha! what's that? miscreant Jacobites! - plots Conspiracies! Revolution! - O! Damnation! we're all found out! - ah Joseph! Joseph! I fear you've brought up your Neck for a fine Collar!" Fox (right), his head bowed under Burke's hand, his handkerchief to his eyes, says, "O the devil! I'm quite overcome, & stupified with Grief! to think that the Man who has been my dearest Friend, and my Chum in all infamy, for Twenty five years, should now turn Snitch at last! good-lack-a-day!"."--British Museum online catalogue.
