- Abstract:
- Two ladders placed against a tall brick wall signed, "Treasury," reach an open window at the top. In it stands a man, perhaps the Duke of Portland, with a yoke on his shoulders and bunches of grapes hanging from each end. At the top of the ladders are, from left, Fox and North, both reaching for the grapes while at the same time emptying their bowels. Their excrement falls into the mouths of those climbing immediately after them; on Fox's ladder it is Sheridan. This process is repeated down to the last climbers. Each ladder is supported by a group of men gaping toward its top with their mouths open in expectation of the spoils

- Abstract:
- George III, surrounded by members of the present and former governments, stands on the British shore of the Atlantic Ocean. He holds out his arms in a gesture of uncertainty asking, "My Lords and Gentlemen, what should I do." Each of the statesmen gives his advice. In the background, "England's sun" is "setting" behind the hills at the foot of which sailors, soldiers and civilians are shown fighting, perhaps in allusion to the mutiny of sailors in Portsmouth in March 1783. Between both groups, on the extreme right, a smaller group of men with peg legs or on crutches, apparently veterans of the American war, is addressed by Lord Amherst who says, "Gentlemen we have no further occasion for you." On the extreme left, on the American shore of the Atlantic, a young girl in Indian dress sits between the kings of France and Spain, who each hold her hand. Benjamin Franklin places a wreath on top of her head-dress. Above in the sky, a witch flies away on a broomstick with a banner reading, "Peace -- Peace -- P-e-a-c" issuing from under her skirts
