"Tipu Sultan (left) gallops (right to left) past Cornwallis who is seated in an ornate chair on the back of an ill-drawn elephant. Tipu, rising in his stirrups, excretes a blast which displaces a boy-mahout on the elephant's neck and strikes Cornwallis. He says, "Now my Lord I'll Tip you the Swamps". The horse excretes a blast directed at the elephant's eye. The elephant, raising its trunk, says, "I wish I could run as fast as he how i would thump him." Cornwallis, with his sabre raised above his head, his left fist clenched, says, "These Monsoons are more Violent than ever I knew them before Boy turn back again." The boy says, "Yes my Lord I am going backwards Pr force." Behind Cornwallis's seat is a box inscribed 'Rice for Gruel during the Monsoons'. Behind Tipu (left) is a circular fort inscribed 'Seringapatam'."--British Museum catalogue

"John Bull, blindfold, stands on a massive truncated pillar holding the beam of a pair of scales. In one scale (left), near the ground, Mrs. Clarke sits composedly among a mass of papers, holding one inscribed My dear Dearest Dearest Darling [see British Museum satires no. 11228, &c.]. The others are inscribed: Sandon, Toyne [Tonyn], Dowler, Omeara, Carter, French, Knight, Clavering. In the other scale the Duke of York swings high in the air, and shouts down to three men on the ground: Save me save me Save my Honour [cf. British Museum satires no. 11269]. They haul hard at ropes attached to his scale, which they tilt sideways so that he is in danger of falling out. One, a drink-blotched bishop wearing a mitre, says: Pull away Pull away the Church is in danger; the other two say: Pull away Pull away we lose all our Places, and Pull away pull away we shall lose our Noble Commander. On the pillar Britannia is depicted seated with her shield and lion; she holds the broken staff of a flag."--British Museum online catalogue
