Abstract:
"Satire on Robet Walpole's move to the House of Lords: A large room in which Walpole is pushed at swordpoint by the masked figure of Justice towards a group of lords who wait to receive him. He is led by a lion carrying a coronet in its teeth which says, "Follow me Sr. Blew String", and he holds his hand to his head, saying "I go in hopes to save this & trust to ye Hat". On the left, a group of four members of the Commons, wearing jockey caps and boots, surround Lord Pulteney. In the background are two shop stalls, "Deards from St. Dunstans" selling expensive trinkets, and "Dent's Snuff Shop"."--British Museum online catalogue

"Satire on the king and government concerning the employment of Hanoverian troops in England. A cart loaded with Hanoverian turnips is drawn from the right by three horses into the parade ground behind the Treasury.On the left, in front of the leading horse, stands John Perceval, his coat labelled "Deceivall" and holding a paper lettered, "Independant", saying, "In my popular station". Facing him, the bulky figure of William Pulteney, holding a driver's whip and a handful of turnips, says, "Honest Friend S[an]d[y]s rejoyce & sing here's H[anove]r T[urni]p will now come again Ho"; Robert Walpole stands on the other side of the horses saying, "Ha S[an]d[y]s you've a short reign". The man standing on the shafts of the cart calling out, "Stop Boy they shall buy th'all" is apparently identifiable as Samuel Sandys, now Chancellor of the Exchequer; Amalia von Wallmoden sits on the turnips saying, "Thank you Sr for ye Honr. you've done me & yor. Man Will", presumably a reference to Pulteney. Behind the horses stand two other men, evidently Treasury officials, one, holding Treasury tallies, says "Let me be S[and]y[s] I'm not squeamish", the other saying "Ill make a round sum"; the king leans over a balcony of the Treasury brandishing a broom and saying "Pay for ye whole S[an]d[y]s I'll sweep the T[reasu]ry clean". On a wall in the background are pasted "S[an]d[y]s Speeches, a halfpeny a Peice" concerning the Place Bill, the Motion to enquire into the conduct of Walpole and the Triennial Act 1743; a ballad seller sits on the ground beside them. The Hanoverian cavalry enters from the right, led by a commander carrying the standard with the white horse of Hanover, and followed by mounted bandsmen, including a kettle drummer and a trumpeter. One Hanoverian remarks, "For us 260" in reference to the number of members of parliament who voted to retain the troops.

A satirical representation of the Battle of Dettingen, 1743. Overturned canons are piled in a ditch with fascines in the foreground; a large dead limb of a tree separates it from the battle ground. In the left corner the word 'Steelingensat' suggests the scene is a view from the fortress. In the center George II as the white horse of Hanover rides a British lion from whose mouth come the words "Starv'd on Bon pour nicole". The Hanoverian general Otto Christian von Ilten (nicknamed "Confectioner General") confronts the lion and his rider. Also depicted are the French and Austrian generals who shout encouragement to the troups
