"The head and shoulders of a woman, caricatured, in profile to the right, singing with upturned eyes, holding up a paper in both hands. A wing, foreshortened, and very freely sketched, extends diagonally across her shoulder, and has some resemblance to a part of her dress; her hair is loosely arranged, but its contour is fashionable; her face is blotched with drink. Clouds and a ray of light are indicated in the background."--British Museum online catalogue.

"The Prince of Wales and McMahon ride side by side (r. to left.) past Carlton House, followed by a groom. The Prince, stout and dignified, sits very upright on a high-stepping horse. McMahon s much smaller mount canters; he rides (on the Prince's l.) with leg thrust forward like Bunbury's examples of mounted vulgarians, see BMSats 7233, 7235, 7242. Behind them runs a ragged little boy in top-hat and tattered tail-coat, apparently assuming the part of a running footman. A detailed representation of part of the screen and façade of Carlton House forms the background; half the gate appears on the extreme left.; beside it is a sentry-bos with a sentry at attention. ..."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Britannia, in profile to the right, kneels on the ground, bending forward with an expression of angry distress. She supports herself on her spear, the upper part of which rests against her right shoulder. Her shield, broken, lies on the ground, her knee resting on it. Behind her (left) are the two 'State Quacks', Fox and North, Fox, with a fox's head, sitting on the ground, lifts Britannia's petticoats in both hands. North, very stout and fat, stands (left) in profile to the right, holding a large syringe. A mountainous landscape, with clouds, forms the background."--British Museum online catalogue.

"George III and Queen Charlotte stand before the open gate of the Treasury, from which Pitt has just wheeled a barrow laden with money-bags. Pitt, the straps of the barrow round his shoulders, his coat-pocket bulging with guineas, obsequiously hands the king a money-bag. George III stands full-face, legs astride, a money-bag inscribed '£100000' under his right arm, another in his right hand and all his pockets overflowing with guineas. Queen Charlotte (left) stands on his right taking a pinch of snuff, and looking up at him with a smile of greedy and satisfied cunning; in her apron is a heap of guineas. Military officers wearing high cocked hats with feather trimmings (in a French fashion), and long pigtail queues, stand round the King and Queen, in a semicircle, in front of the spiked gates of the Treasury, playing musical instruments: fifes, bassoons, a horn, &c. The pockets of the two in the foreground (left and right) are crammed with guineas, those of the others, presumably equally full, are concealed. They represent the placemen and Ministerialists of the Treasury Bench. The most prominent (right) is probably Lord Sydney. In the foreground (left) an old sailor, armless and with two wooden legs, sits on the ground, his empty hat before him. On the right the Prince of Wales, in rags, hesitates to take a paper inscribed 'Accept £200000 from your Friend Orleans', which a slim and foppish Frenchman, in bag-wig and 'chapeau-bras', standing on the extreme right, offers him, taking his hand. He is very different from the heavily built Due d'Orléans (who succeeded his father in Nov. 1785) who had recently presented his portrait by Reynolds (now at Hampton Court) to the Prince of Wales. He had adopted the English manner of dress and made it fashionable in France ..."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Lord Lansdowne sits at a small writing-table, pen in hand, a number of papers before him. Three Jews (left) stand obsequiously on his right, but he turns with his enigmatic smile towards a French post-boy (right), a grotesque dwarfish man with long queue and jack-boots holding his whip and hat, who holds out to him with a cunning smile a paper inscribed: 'My dear Lord Paris 7th Jany 1783 I am happy to hear you have so nearly concluded your Alley Arrangements. The Preliminaries shall be signed coute que coute by the Time you desire, & you may rely on the Courier's arrival on the Eve of the 23d yours truly Billy Paradice [William Eden.]' Under Lansdowne's elbow is a paper inscribed 'Memorandums Pay off the Mortgage on Jesuits Colledge in Berkeley Square - Pay off Solomons any for 500£ pr Annm Inquire what Tayt will take for my Bond for 3000£ given for furniture sold at Christyes'. The foremost Jew holds out to Lansdowne a paper ... On a shelf, inscribed 'Waste Paper', in the upper right corner of the design, are three large bundles of papers: 'Ordnance Estimates', 'State of the National Debt', and 'Civil List'; two piles of documents hang from the shelf. On the wall above Lansdowne's head are two bust portraits: 'John Calvin', wearing a steeple-crowned hat, gown, and bands, and 'Ignatius Loyola', a profile portrait of Burke wearing a Jesuit's biretta as in BMSat 6026, &c. 12."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Two heads emerge from the highly-polished boots of their respective owners, which face each other. They are finished portraits of Skeffington and Montagu Mathew, inseparables, see BMSat 9699. Skeffington's boot (left) is a tasselled Hessian; its pointed toe rests on the foot of Mathew's spurred top-boot. Both wear round hats of slightly differing shapes. Skeffington's dark hair is short, falling over his forehead; he has a large whisker. Mathew's fair hair is long and powdered, and tied by a ribbon at the tips; he has a small whisker. Round the two boots are grouped blacking materials. A large open book (left) is 'Essay on Blacking'; by it are bottles labelled 'Mr Broomhills Recipe' and 'The Princes Recipe', and a mixing-pot. Two volumes (right) are 'Chemistry'; on them are bottles labelled 'Pine Apple' and 'Spirit of Salt'. There are also two brushes, a polishing pad, a cake of 'Holdsworth's' blacking, and a broken bottle of 'Royal Blacking'."--British Museum online catalogue.

"Miss Farren and Lord Derby, both in profile to the right, walk together inspecting pictures. She, very thin and tall, looks over his head through a glass at a picture in the second row of 'Zenocrates & Phryne'. He looks at the picture immediately below, 'The Death', a huntsman holding up a fox to the hounds. The frame is decorated by an earl's coronet with horses, cf. BMSat 9074, &c. Lord Derby, much caricatured, very short and obese, wears riding-dress with spurred boots and holds a whip. Miss Farren wears no hat, a dress hanging from the shoulders and trailing behind her, short sleeves and gloves. Both hold an open 'Catalogue'. Behind, a man (left) and two ladies in back view and arm-in-arm inspect a picture of 'Susan[nah and the] Elders'. The lady in the centre wears a high, twisted turban (cf. BMSat 8755) with an enormous feather, the other wears a round hat."--British Museum online catalogue.

"On the right is a bedroom, a man and woman embracing on a bed with a high tester draped with curtains. A man leaves the room by a door on the extreme right. On the left is a staircase, descending from left to right and ending in a door leading to the bedroom. On this stand, one behind the other, nine men. One is in military uniform, one is a bearded Jew, one is a fat parson in gown and bands. Labels inscribed with words issue from their mouths. Over the door is a picture, inscribed "Lucretia"; she is about to stab herself. Along the balustrade of the staircase is engraved, "'One lover to another still succeeds, Another & another after that. - And the last Fool is welcome as the former: Till having lov'd his hour out he gives place, And mingles with the herd that went before him.'
