- "Design in an oval. Thirteen heads arranged in four rows, the first, second, and fourth having three heads, the third four. In the uppermost row the Prince of Wales (left) and the King (right) face each other in profile; the likeness between them is stressed. Between and slightly above them is Queen Charlotte, in profile to the left, her hair inscribed 'Queen of hearts', cf. British Museum Satires No. 6978. In the next row Fox, full-face, is the central head of the design; Mrs. Fitzherbert (left) (unrecognizable) wears a low crown inscribed 'Queen would be', and the feathers of the Prince of Wales; George Hanger, in profile to the left, wears the large cocked hat made familiar by British Museum Satires No. 6924, &c. The next four heads are (left to right): Mrs. Siddons, wearing a low crown inscribed 'Queen Rant', looking wildly over her shoulder to the right; Burke, wearing spectacles and a cap or turban, his back turned to Pitt who is in profile to the right; on the left in profile to the right is the Duchess of Devonshire, wearing a low crown and a collar which are inscribed 'Queen of Fox'. In the lowest row the central figure is the broad back of North wearing his ribbon; on the left is Mrs. Abington, a ribbon in her much-curled hair inscribed 'Queen Scrub' (see British Museum Satires No. 7053); on the right, in profile to the left, is the Duke of Richmond."--British Museum online catalogue
