Hogarth is shown fleeing from a village, his hat flying off as a scolding woman at his side points to cow horns that appear over his head. The horns are numbered “1”, a reference to a table below to Hogarth's prints "Four times the day". A chimney sweep behind Hogarth holds up his print “H- [of] Prussia” as he steals from his satchel the 'March to Finchley'. Another chimney sweep -- numbered “2” referencing the table below that identifies him as "a painter"--rides a sow and carries a palette as a shield emblazoned with a “line of beauty”. Exemplifying the "lines of beauty". Hogarth's dog bits the woman's drapery; a greyhound steals from a pail hanging from the yoke of a milkmaid; a cripple with his crutch, wooden leg, and natural leg. The design includes numerous other references to other Hogarth prints and Centered below the main design is an etching of Hogarth in stocks under a pump. Mounted on the pump is a broadside inscribed: "Puggs proposals to his Dunces to humbug them by an election feast a burlesque on the wort[hy] members o[f Parlia]ment 1754." Parts of the image are lettered, referencing a table to the right

Abstract:
John Bull stands defiantly in the center of a crowd of angry men -- military officers, gentlemen of various ages, tradesmen, and an amputee -- most of whom hold out bills ranging between £50 and £5000; the speech bubbles above their heads read: "King's taxes"; "Police rate"; "Parish rates"; "Excise duties"; "Tithes church rates pew rents & Easter doos [sic]"; "Sundres &c." John Bull's response reads, "Damme ye had better devour me., ye voratious crew. Am I never to have my hands out of my pocket again, but 't wont last long lads. I shall soon be in the Gazette & then ye lazy drones ye must work hard for you own livings." The man with a large belly on the lower right carries a little dog under his arm
