- "A drunken orgy in a room with mirrors on the wall. Britannia, dressed as a courtesan (right), leans back in a chair, dead drunk, in her right. hand is a wine-bottle. One foot rests on her shield. A man standing behind pours over her the contents of a wine-bottle, in his right. hand he holds out a wine-glass. In the centre is a staggering figure wearing the ribbon and order of the Bath. His pocket is being picked by a plainly dressed man, while another holds his shoulder. Two men aimlessly flourish drawn swords. Another aims a blow with a long pole at a mirror. A courtesan has broken a mirror with a wine-bottle which she is waving in the air. In the background a woman, seated on a man's knee, is picking his pocket. On the floor in the foreground are broken wine-glasses, and a broken punch-bowl inscribed "the Constitution". The explanatory text asks "Who are the greatest drunkards? - Those at the helm - Who set the most glaring examples of adultery, fornication, &c -.."."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Satire on the expected effect of a return of John Wilkes to parliament. Wilkes as Hercules leaps over the fallen figure of Discord to seize the arm of the Speaker, Sir John Cust, as members flee in all directions. In the front, to right, is Fletcher Norton, holding a bag of money while other coins fall from his pocket as he steps over the mace, lettered "A Mere Bauble" (quoting Oliver Cromwell). In the background, on a pedestal decorated with the mournful figure of Britannia, a bloated figure squats over "Magna Charta". It has three heads, a wolf, a snake and a sheep; one outstretched hand is in the form of a claw, the other holds a bag of money. Behind this figure, Lord Bute, emerges raising hands in shock at the sight of Wilkes/Hercules."--British Museum online catalogue
