A large dredger-like wheel with four scoops stands in front of a building, possibly the Treasury, guarded by two mounted sentries. The Devil standing on the King's bent back, turns the crank. On the right, Lord Shelburne sits on the ground after being tossed out of the wheel together with his companions, most likely Dunning and Barré, saying, "Look what a crush a Pretty decent Tumble." On the left, two new Secretaries of State, Fox, with a fox's head, and North, lead on reins attached to his nose the Duke of Portland, the new prime minister. Fox, with broken leg, his hand on North's arm for support, complains that the "... late tumble hath Crippled me quite ..." North pledges help on condition that "you shall hold me fast in my Place." Behind them, Burke, with one arm in a sling, runs after them voicing his own need to join the coalition. His and Fox's "injuries" were suffered in the previous 'tumble' when Shelburne formed his administration

"A paunchy and bespectacled clergyman standing at left, reading nearsightedly from a paper on which are seen the words 'Petitioner will ever Pray', to a veteran soldier with a wooden left leg standing indignantly at right, who waves a stick in his right hand at the parson, and holds his tricorne in his left; their speech is above their heads. The clergyman: 'Well friend Cartridge. I have drawn up your petition, mentioned wounds, long service &c &c - concluding as usual, "And your petitioner will ever pray!' The soldier: 'Will ever pray! - that may do very well for a parson, - but d-d bad coming from an Old Soldier! - No - Ill have it inserted, "And your Petitioner" will ever fight!'"--British Museum catalogue

"In the foreground (left) is the quarter-deck of a small vessel, on which six French soldiers with ferocious gestures are taking down the British flag; a hump-backed soldier has climbed the flagstaff, and crouches with drawn sword, saying, "oh by Gar I was on de Pinnicle of my Glory". Through his ragged breeches issues the word 'Commandant'. In the lower left corner of the design is the head of an English sailor, saying, "that sweet little Cherub that sits up aloft (cf. BMSat 7677) he will shortly come wap on his Back". Two men bite the flag. Another, very emaciated, says, "aha Monr Angloise we was Men Enough (40.000) to take de whole fleet". Two other soldiers peer over the edge of the vessel. The ship is in harbour, behind her is another (English) vessel whose flag is being removed and sails furled. A British sailor stands in a boat on the extreme right, shouting, "avast Bougres well teach you to take 2 Merchant ships for a fleet of Men of War again". On the horizon are buildings inscribed 'Nantes'. Across the sky is etched 'Rehearsal'."
