Six caricatures of a lawyer arguing a case in various manners: 1) Influencing the judge, 2) A knock me down argument, 3) A funny case, 4) A forcible argument, 5) A maiden case, and 6) An honest pleader.

Heads of the members of the new ministry stand on wig blocks in a barber's shop. The barber washes his hands in a bowl attached to a double stand with the bewildered looking head of Lord North and the happily smiling one of Charles Fox on it. Behind them stand blocks with the heads of the Duke of Portland, Lords Cavendish, Stormont (David Murray), Carlisle, and Admiral Keppel. Samuel House, a well known Fox supporter, and a plebeian politician, is seated, with his tankard in his hand, in a chair placed next to Keppel's head. The head of Burke behind him wears an unhappy expression, perhaps at the distance between him and the other cabinet members. Behind the barber on the floor lie the discarded heads of former ministers, the Duke of Grafton, Lord Shelburne, and Dundas. Above on the wall are mirror images of Charles I and Cromwell, ready to embrace each other. "A new Map of Great Britain and Ireland" above the fireplace is torn between Ireland and the British Isle on which the name 'England' is conspicously absent below Scotland and Wales

Abstract:
"Two men stand on the pavement outside a door-way under the pediment of which are the royal arms. Beneath them and over the doorway is inscribed, "Lovejoy, Kings arms Tavern", cf. British Museum Satires No. 4995. This appears to be a representation of the entrance to Covent Garden Theatre. The taller of the two men (left) has snatched off the other's wig, and holds it up in his right hand. In his left hand is his sword, broken off below the hilt; his hat is on the ground. Behind and to the right stands a short stout man with bare shaved head; his hat is in his right hand. The taller man is dressed in the prevailing macaroni fashion and has a certain resemblance to Colman, then part-proprietor and manager of Covent Garden Theatre, see British Museum Satires No. 5064. The wig of the other is of the type worn by 'cits', see British Museum Satires No. 5463."--British Museum online catalogue
