Pitt, leaping through the air and surrounded by demons, pursues (left to right) fleeing swine with human heads. In his right hand he flourishes a scourge with three weighted lashes, two inscribed 'Powder Tax', the third 'Wig Tax'. The swine wear wigs or have long hair. In his left hand he holds a sceptre terminating in a spike with which he prods a pig who turns round to snarl. Two of the attendant demons breathe fire and hold firebrands. A small demon prods with a triden, and seizes the tail of, a large pig who leaps through the air, its wig flying from its head. Another demon rides a pig, flourishing a scourge. Four birds (right) fly away. Pitt is grotesquely caricatured as are the heads of the swine

"A colossal but life-like bust of Napoleon is placed on a mound of decollated human heads. He gazes fixedly upwards in profile to the left; round his neck and bare breast is twisted a noose of rope. Round this idol dance demons with human heads, holding hands. They are naked except for head-coverings, and have horns, hairy legs, tail, with one leg terminating in a cloven hoof, the other in the claw of a bird of prey. These 'Hell Hounds' have labels hanging from a collar of rope, showing that they are 'Caulincourt', 'Fouché', 'Savory', with a pen in his hat (he succeeded Fouché as Minister of Police in 1810), 'Vandamme', 'Davoust', 'Ney', 'Lefebre'. Two demons fly towards the emperor, holding a large wreath which is on fire, with the inscription 'He Deserves A Crown of Pitch.' This they are about to place on the idol's head, towards which gallops through the air a small demon (right) on a goat, blowing a horn. In the foreground lie dead and dying soldiers, one is decapitated, another (right) is naked and has lost an arm which he holds out with an agonized expression towards the idol. In the background (left) soldiers are feeding a bonfire with 'English Goods'. On the right is a blazing town."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Joanna Southcott and Tozer drive before them a crowd of fat bishops, who flee to the right in wild confusion. She uses a birch-rod, he wields a flail, inscribed 'Revd Roger Towser's Flail'. Joanna holds by the toe the hindmost bishop, who wears a papal tiara. One has fallen to the ground, losing wig and crosier, another escapes over the former's body; two wear mitres. Several turn round to shriek defiance; one kicks out at Tozer, and uses his crosier as a weapon, another brandishes his wig. Joanna is plainly dressed, and wears a cap and spectacles; from her neck hangs a medallion inscribed 'I C' between two stars, with the words 'A Fac Simili of Joannas Seal'. Drapery streams behind her inscribed 'Elijah's Mantle' and 'Mohair'. Demons and serpents fly round the angry pair. She screams: "Lay it on hip and thigh Brave Towzer Smite the unbelievers--I put no more trust in Bishops as men, than I do in their Chariots and Horses, but my trust is in the Lord of Hosts." He shouts: "I'll well Dust their Woolsacks and make them drunk in my fury, I will bring down their strength to the earth." Behind them (left) is a chest (as in British Museum Satires No. 12333) inscribed 'Contents of the Sealing. The Sealed of the Lord--The Elect--To inherit the Tree of Life. To be made Heirs of God and Joint Heirs of [sic] with Jesus Christ--Joanna Southcott.' Beside it lie a goblet and 'Salver'. At her feet is an open book: 'Third Book of Wonders'. A serpent darts from left to right over the bishops."--British Museum online catalogue
