"Stanhope, striding forward in profile to the left, approaches an altar to 'French Principles', while with his left foot and left hand he overturns a bishop seated behind him on a bench. On the summit of a quasi-cylindrical altar is the seated figure of a female monster with webbed wings, snaky hair, and pendent breasts, a firebrand in the right hand, a dagger in the left. Behind her stands a foppish Frenchman with a simian head, dressed as a soldier, one foot resting on a large skull. In his right hand is a headsman's axe, in his left he holds out to Stanhope a hangman's noose. Stanhope places on the altar a paper inscribed in large letters: 'Philosophy Atheism Rapine Murder'. The altar itself is decorated with a headsman's axe and block, the word 'Liberté' in a wreath, and shackles. At its foot lie a cross and an overturned chalice. The bishop's head is turned in back view; he topples backwards as Stanhope kicks his bench; he represents the bench of bishops ..."--British Museum online catalogue

"A pugilistic contest between George III (left) and Charles IV of Spain (right), standing waist-deep in the sea. Each wears a crown, but that of Charles falls from his head. George III says, "Another thump in the bread basket will do your business, Whiskerando!" Each has a backer: behind George is Neptune, holding his trident and crowned with sea-weed; he extends his left arm, saying, "Bravo! my Son, make him feel the dominion of the Seas is thine and shall be so for ever." That of Spain is the Pope wearing his robes and triple crown, and holding his crozier to which two keys are attached. Fame emerges from clouds above Neptune, blowing her trumpet and holding a laurel wreath above George III's head. The two kings and Neptune are nude."--British Museum online catalogue
