"A small thin man, his hands in his waistcoat pockets, stands full-face between two robust courtesans. One (left), dressed in the fashion of the day with high-waisted dress, and tall feathers in her hair, a large fan hanging from her wrist, seizes his right arm. The other, a burly woman (right) wearing a hat and pelisse, puts her hand on his right shoulder; in her left hand is a birch-rod."--British Museum online catalogue

"An imitation of British Museum Satires No. 9012. The profiles of George IV (left) and Queen Caroline (right), replacing those of George III and Pitt, and joined together by the merging of the former's wig and the latter's hair, rest on a dish supported by the King's massive whiskers and heavy jowl. The King is coarse, drink-blotched, melancholy, and larger in scale than the Queen, who is flatteringly depicted. A cherub's head supported on wings (left) blows a blast of 'Public Opinion' against a small crown, driving it from the King's head and breaking it in half. The left half is dim and partly obliterated; the right half, belonging to the Queen, is solid and bright. A ribbon hangs from each half: one, torn into three pieces, is inscribed 'God Sav/e Great G/eor'; the other: 'God Save Queen Caroline'. Towards the cherub is directed a counterblast of 'Persecution and Malice', issuing from a bladder (or clyster-pipe) blown by a saturnine profile (intended for Sidmouth) in the upper right corner, supported on webbed wings."--British Museum online catalogue
