Abstract:
"Satire on peace negotiations with France to end the Seven Years War with Lord Bute (Gisbal) seated on a hill holding the muzzled British lion. He takes the royal prerogative in ordering the Duke of Bedford (shown as headless with eagle's wings) to haste to negotiate with the kings of France and Spain. The French king demands "Canada, & Martinique, & Guadalupe, Senegal, & Goree, & Newfoundland, & Pondicherry; & you shall have all Hanover ...", while the Spanish king is prepared to refrain from attacking Portugal in return for Havana and his "Dollars"; two mocking Frenchmen look on. On the left, Britannia weeps and Pitt tries to comfort her while two other Englishmen complain of Bute's rise to power. Verses above warn against a too hasty peace treaty."--British Museum online catalogue

"A satire on Lord Bute, his alleged relationship with the Princess of Wales, his supposed influence over the King and his use of writers as to defend his policies. Bute is represented by a boot set up on a pedestal on which is written "English places for Scotch Asses". A large thistle grows from the top of the boot and it is pierced by an arrow lettered "N. Britton". The Princess of Wales stands on the other side of the boot holding a shield with a thistle on it and saying “I'll present my Shield while thou canst Stand and raise thee up when thou art fallen”. At her feet a young lion, George III crouches saying “Tho they don’t shoot at me the darts fall very near”. Three Scotsmen stand behind commenting on the onslaught. Beyond the pedestal Arthur Murphy holds up a shield lettered "The Auditor", beside him Tobias Smollett holds the shield of "The Britton"; both shields have been damaged, the Briton by an arrow labelled "Monitor" that has been fired by Arthur Beardmore, editor of that journal. Beside Beardmore, on the right, Charles Churchill, in clerical dress, having just torn Murphy's shield and pierced the boot, lowers his bow saying “My country's good directs me where to aim”. Beside him the duke of Cumberland praises Churchill’s shot; next to the Duke, Earl Temple, also holding a bow, declares “We’ll down with this Scotch fool”; standing close behind him, William Pitt adds “’tis the general Cause Our Liberty”. Two columns of etched verse beneath."--British Museum online catalogue

"Satire on the negotiations for the Peace of Paris. A lion and lioness (the King and Queen) look in alarm from the window of a coach (Great Britain) as it crashes against a large rock. Lord Bute, the driver, and Princess Augusta, who has been sitting beside him, fall headlong to the ground and the horses (bearing names connected with British actions in the Seven Years War: "Germany", "Guardeloup", "Pondechery", "America", "Martinico" and "Quebec") run off. Bute cries out, "De'el dam that Havanna Snuff its all most blinded me". The postilion, Henry Fox, lies on the ground having hit his head on a rock labelled "Newfound Land"; a speech balloon lettered "Snugg" emerges from his mouth. Behind him Pitt, holding a whip, grasps the leading horse's reins; the Marquis of Granby gallops up to assist him, together with William Beckford (who was shortly to become Lord Mayor of London) and the Duke of Newcastle. In the foreground is a conflict involving a number of journalists: Bute's supporters, Arthur Murphy and Tobias Smollett shoot their pistols at Pitt, and further to the right Charles Churchill, in clerical robes, fires a cannon labelled "North Briton" at them, causing another man to fall to the ground his arm resting on a copy of the Gazetteer (the fallen man must be either Charles Say, editor, or John Almon, contributor to the Gazetteer, an anti-Bute newspaper), with the headline, "A letter from Darlington" (a reference to Henry Vane, 2nd Earl of Darlington, a relation of Bute's by marriage). The British lion beside Churchill urinates on the Scottish thistle. Behind this group, the Duke of Cumberland runs forward anxiously mopping his bald head, having lost his wig. In the background are Lord Mansfield and the Earl of Loudon, the latter suggesting that they retreat (a reference to his failure to capture Louisbourg from the French in 1757). To the right a group of Scotsmen are driven off by two Englishmen with whips; another Scot sits on the ground scratching himself."--British Museum online catalogue
