- Abstract:
- "A sequel to BMSat 10540. George III, as a farmer in a smock, drives his pigs, now very plump, out of his farmyard and down a cliff into a turbulent sea. They have burst through a rotten paling; the foremost are struggling in huge waves, the last, the reluctant Sheridan, is propelled by the farmer's boot. The King says: "O you cursed ungrateful Grunters! - what, after devouring more in a twelve-month, than the good old Litter did in twelve years, you turn round to kick and bite your old Master! but if the Devil or the Pope has got possession of you all - pray get out of my Farm yard! - out with you all - no hangers behind! - you're all of a cursed bad-breed; so out with you altogether!!!" Behind him is the old sow in front of a thatched hovel, backed by trees. Among pigs who have already reached the sea is Howick, on his back on a billowing wave; beside him floats a paper: 'Repeal of the Test Act'. Behind him the head of Lord Holland looks up wistfully. Lord Grenville is carried downwards, one forefoot on a paper: 'Emancipation of the Catholic Army and Navy', while the (torn) 'Catholic Bill' floats before him. His body is covered with a distended skin of guineas, in reference to his two highly paid offices, see BMSat 10543, &c. Next, the hind-legs and vast rump of Lord Temple project from the water; beside him is a paper: 'Last Stake of the Broad Bottom Family', see BMSat 10721. Beside him is an almost submerged barrel of 'Whitbread's Entire' [see BMSat 10421], from which project the hind-legs of the drowning Whitbread. Next behind these, and about to plunge into the waves, are Lord St. Vincent, wearing a naval coat, Buckingham in spectacles and Garter ribbon, Bedford (Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland), from whose neck falls a ribbon inscribed 'Erin-Go-Bragh'. Just behind St. Vincent and Buckingham are Windham, Fitzpatrick (on his back), and Petty; next above these: the Duke of Norfolk, Erskine wearing his Chancellor's wig, Lauderdale, his body covered with tartan, and Spencer, with Moira close behind Bedford. The latest pigs to leave the ground are Ellenborough in his wig, Courtenay, Sidmouth, Derby, Carlisle, and Tierney; a little apart from the others Sheridan (cf. BMSat 10697), his body covered with Harlequin's chequered coat (cf. BMSat 9916), still has his hind-legs on the edge of the cliff. Portions of six other pigs appear in the mélée. A rosary floats on a swirling wave in the foreground."--British Museum online catalogue.

- Abstract:
- "Conspirators prepare an explosion in the vaults of the House of Commons (or of a building symbolizing the Constitution). Massive triple pillars support Gothic arches, the inscription [used by George as a title] etched across the centre pillar round which barrels of gunpowder are piled. The scene is lit by a beam of light slanting from the huge eye of the King whose features emerge faintly from an illuminated patch in dark clouds in the upper right. corner of the design. This strikes the conspirators, all wearing cloaks and steeple-crowned hats reminiscent of Guy Fawkes. The foremost is Grenville who pours on to the paved floor a train of powder from a barrel which he holds, inscribed 'Jesuits Powder'. Next him (r.) Howick leans forward to tilt a barrel of 'True- Whig Gunpowder'. Behind is Lauderdale handling a barrel of 'Gunpowder a la Brissot'. On the extreme left. behind Grenville, Sidmouth crouches, clasping with senile impotence a barrel of 'Cathartic Gun Powder' [cf. BMSat 9849]. Behind stands Petty holding a barrel of 'Pop-Gun Powder'. The taller Windham is behind with a barrel of '[M]etaphysical Gu[n Powder]'. Ellenborough scowls over Windham's shoulder. The tall Moira (ex-Master of the Ordnance) has a barrel of 'Ordnance Powder'. Between Grenville and Petty is the upturned profile of the bulky Temple, clutching at a barrel of 'Broad-Bottom Gun Powder'. Behind him, his spectacled father, Buckingham, reaches for a barrel of 'Catholic Gunpowder'. In the foreground on the extreme left., a little aloof from the others, Sheridan kneels, tilting a barrel of 'Dramatic Gunpowder'; he wears his Harlequin suit (cf. BMSat 9916). Beside him are two barrels: 'Patriotic Gun-Powder', intact, and 'Democratic Gun-Powder', on its side its contents pouring out. In the background, behind Windham, three heads are faintly sketched, one with the profile of Tierney, another rightesembling St. Vincent. ..."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state of the same composition.

- Abstract:
- "The King steps forward to embrace the Prince of Wales, who throws himself into his father's arms, saying, "against Heaven - and before thee, and am no more worthy------" (the words fade out). George III wears court dress, the Prince's dress is tattered and dishevelled, his pocket hangs inside out, the garter at his knee - 'Honi soit' - is loose. Behind the King stands the Queen on the door-step, half-smiling, her arms outstretched. Two pleased princesses look over her shoulder. Just outside the door stand Pitt and Moira watching the reconciliation, Pitt with a benign expression, Moira more doubtfully; both wear footmen's court-livery, of military cut; Moira wears jack-boots. Pitt holds a paper: 'New Union Act Britains best Hope', implying that he is the author of the 'Union'. Moira holds Pitt's arm. Beside the house (r.) are a tree and a balustrade, against which grow a rose-bush and a thistle. After the title: '"And he arose and came to his Father, and his Father saw him, & had compassion, & ran, & fell on his Neck, & kissed him. - Read the Parable.

- Abstract:
- "The King sits impassively in his badly damaged state coach, which is being assailed by a mob; facing him sit two courtiers in abject terror. Pitt (right), dressed as the coachman, drives furiously, lashing the horses, the hind legs only of the wheelers being visible on the extreme right. These are trampling on Britannia who lies prostrate, her shield and broken spear beneath her. Four footmen in striped liveries stand behind, one holding the straps; the others hold each other's waists: Loughborough, the Lord Chancellor, wearing his wig, stands next the coach; behind him is Grenville, then Dundas, wearing a plaid and with a bottle projecting from his coat-pocket. Last is Pepper Arden wearing a judge's wig. All, like Pitt, wear jockey-caps. Lord Lansdowne (right), a sansculotte, composedly fires a blunderbuss point-blank through the coach window, aiming at the King. Fox and Sheridan, facing Lansdowne, run beside the coach, holding on to it. Both are tattered ruffians brandishing clubs, but wear breeches. The other three assailants cling to the spokes of the back wheel to stop the coach: (left to right) the Duke of Grafton, neatly dressed and wearing a cocked hat with tricolour cockade, Lord Stanhope, and little Lord Lauderdale, both wearing bonnets-rouges. Behind, a sea of heads indicates the mob; they carry a tricolour flag inscribed 'Peace and Bread' and a loaf draped with black and spiked on a pitchfork. A cat, stones, and eggs shower on the coach, the crown on the top of which is broken."--British Museum online catalogue.

He wears a short tunic and sash; his saddle-cloth is a leopard-skin on which is a crest: the white horse of Hanover enclosed in a Garter ribbon inscribed 'Honi soit qui mal y pense', and surmounted by a crown.

The King and Queen, three-quarter length, sit facing each other across a round table, hugging large moneybags. Those of the King are inscribed '5 Millions', those of the Queen '3 Millions'; facing her is an open account book: 'Account of Money at interest in Germany' [cf. BMSat 7906]. See BMSat 7836, &c.

Above it are the Prince's feathers and motto, and 'Neat Wines'. The figures are three-quarter length. [3] Below (left) is 'Gambling'. A crowd of figures surround a circular gaming-table, half of which fills the foreground. The Duke of York raises a dice-box, next him is a military officer wearing a gorget. On the other side (left) sits a ruffianly-looking fellow wearing a slouch hat and coachman's coat. Behind is a man with a croupier's rake. (See BMSat 7301 (5), &c.) [4] Next (right) is 'Debauchery'. The Duke of Clarence and Mrs. Jordan sit together on a settee, embracing each other. He wears a naval officer's coat, with a star, and sailor's trousers.
