"Satire in the form of a transparency on the Earl of Bute and his dominance of the king in contrast to the Duke of Cumberland's loyalty, with a reference to William Hogarth. A large tartan military tent decorated with an irradiated jack-boot from which a thistle emerges; fleurs-de-lis on the border of the roof. On the left, stands Cumberland, "Emblem of England" vowing to stop "this Scotch & French scheme"; on the right, stands the Duke of Nivernois, "Emblem of the state of France", trembling in fear of Cumberland. When held to the light figures within the tent (printed on a backing sheet) are revealed: Princess Augusta and Bute express their mutual affection while George III stands beneath a petticoat implying female rule."--British Museum online catalogue

George III, King of Great Britain, 1738-1820, Augusta, Princess of Wales, 1719-1772, William Augustus, Prince, Duke of Cumberland, 1721-1765, Bute, John Stuart, Earl of, 1713-1792, and Nivernais, Louis Jules Barbon Mancini-Mazarini, duc de, 1716-1798
"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
