"A monk walks through a ford leading a dog with a crown on its head: 'Father Peters' leading George III to Rome. The monk says "He cocks his Tail yet". He is going towards a wayside cross (right), above which are rocks, on which is seated the Pope, holding out a cross towards the travellers and saying "Hold out my Sons to the End & I'll give you a Crown of Glory". Behind him is a dome surmounted by a cross indicating St. Peter's. On the other side of the pool (left) there are also rocks, on them stands a sheep (?) and in the distance, by the sea-shore, are two small churches of rural appearance; off the shore are three dismantled ships with brooms at their mast-heads to show that they are for sale, the scene being inscribed "Little Britain."--British Museum online catalogue
