"An elderly man sits in the middle of a garden seat, taking snuff, and looking delightedly to the left. Behind the seat are plants in pots, including an orange-tree and a rose. Behind these is a large tree; a thrush sings on a branch. There is a background of trees. The seat is constructed for wheeling from place to place (like a modern garden chaise-longue), with wheels at one end in place of legs, and with handles projecting horizontally from the other end."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Lady Salisbury stands on a mound holding up a fox's brush. She has outstripped the hounds who rush towards her, the foremost just about to reach her. She turns her head in profile to the left; her long dark hair streams down her back; she wears a hunting-cap resembling the helmet of a light horseman, the skirt of her habit and an under-petticoat are in tatters, the lower part torn away, showing laced half-boots and torn stockings. A masculine collar is thickly swathed with a coloured scarf, as in BMSat 10169. She wears an eyeglass on a ribbon. The background is a landscape with distant mountains; horses and hounds in the middle distance. Below the title: '"Out-stript the Winds in Speed upon the Plain, "Flies o'er the Fields, nor hurts the bearded Grain; "Men, Boys & Women, stupid with surprize, " Where e'er she passes, fix their wondering eyes. Drydens Virgil - '."--British Museum online catalogue.

A rider sits stiffly on a misshapen horse that wears blinkers. The rider's stirrups almost touch the ground, and his body and legs form a quasi-vertical line from head to heels. Above his hat is a dotted half circle labeled '90 degrees'. On the right in the middle distance another horse gallops out of control of its rider while further on top a hill in the distance is St. Paul's Cathedral and surrounding buildings.

One of many satires on the morganatic marriage of George IV and Mrs. Fitzherbert. on the left Mrs. Fitzherbert as Dido sits on a funeral pyre made up of phallic-shaped logs and watches the Prince of Wales sail away in a small boat whose flag is inscribed with the word 'Windsor' [Castle]. The wind which fills the ragged sail of the boat appears to be produced by a blast from the mouths of Dundas and Pitt, whose profile heads are on the extreme left. It is directed at Dido's head, and has blown off a royal crown, an orb and sceptre, and a coronet decorated with the Prince of Wales's feathers. With a tragic gesture she holds out in her right hand a mutilated crucifix. Her breast is bare and her girdle of 'Chastity' is broken. At her feet lie emblems of Popery: a sharp-toothed harrow inscribed 'For the conversion of Heretics', shackles, a pair of birch-rods, an axe, a scourge, and a rosary and crucifix. The pyre seems to be made of money-bags. The boat is the 'Honor'; the Prince is seated between Fox, who holds the tiller, and Burke, who holds the sail; his arms are folded and he looks over his shoulder at Fox, saying, "I never saw her in my Life". Fox echoes "No, never in all his Life, Damme"; Burke, wearing a Jesuit's biretta, says "Never", and North, who sits beside him, apparently asleep, says "No, never". After the title is engraved: 'Sic transit gloria Reginae' (pardoy of "Sic transit gloria mundi"). See British Museum online catalogue.
