- Abstract:
- "Eight dissenting ministers, headed by Dr. Abraham-Rees, approach the King with an address whose inscription is the only title; it continues: 'in & about the Cities of London & Westmr We your Majesty s loyal and faithful...' Rees, a bulky 'Encyclopedia' in his coat-pocket, puts one foot on a step leading to a doorway within which are visible the legs of the seated King, and his right. hand, which rests on a wall-box from which issues a paper: 'Bramah Patent Water [C]losets'. Just outside the door, holding his long wand of office, Salisbury, the Lord Chamberlain (actually Dartmouth, cf. British Museum Satires No. 10283A), stands stiffly looking over the heads of the Addressers, who are ushered in by a beef-eater on the extreme left. Rees is scarcely caricatured except for a grotesque stalk-like neck which issues absurdly from a wide coat-collar. Behind him is Theophilus Lindsey, holding his hat and a big umbrella. Most of the other six are probably portraits, but two may be generalized sectaries with lank hair. All have sour, apprehensive expressions. A quasi-Tudor window suggests St. James's Palace. A whole length portrait of Charles I is issuing from the frame, one hand held up in horror. Over the door of the inner closet are the Royal Arms."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Within a handsome room, whose roof is supported by Corinthian columns, is a medley of playing-cards: the whole suit of clubs headed by the king and queen. On the extreme right is the knave (Fox), who is being kicked out of the door by the toe of the king which protrudes beyond the lower right corner of the card. Fox looks alarmed, saying, "Now I must associate". The queen holds a shield on which are the arms of the City of London. A banner emerging from the cards is inscribed: 'Associations for preserving Liberty & Property against Republicans & Levellers'. Above the door (right) is a picture: 'Plan of a new Constitution'; a house of cards is being demolished by a blast inscribed 'Loyalty' which issues from a head in the upper left corner; the topmost (but dislodged) card is the knave of clubs. On the extreme left are two rats: one holds up a card, a ten of (mixed) clubs, diamonds, hearts, and spades; he says, "Association of the Dissenters" (the initial word 'loyal' has been scored through). The other rat watches him, saying, "As the Cards are against us we had better join the Clubs"."--British Museum online catalogue
