"Dundas (right) turns the handle of a machine in which two cylinders revolve in contact. Pitt (left) drags out by the wrists the flattened and elongated body of John Bull from between the cylinders where his ankles are still confined. The upper cylinder is marked 'LOAN LOAN'; the lower, 'SUBSIDY TAX'. Pitt says: "He'll come out a great deal further yet turn the loan stone again he is not half flat enough!!" John Bull turns his eyes despairingly towards Pitt. Both his tormentors have discarded their coats; Dundas wears a plaid over his shirt."--British Museum online catalogue

Caricatures and cartoons and John Bull (Symbolic character)
"Pitt (right) stands stiffly in profile to the left, holding open a large sack-like wallet inscribed 'Requisition Budget'. He addresses John Bull, the central figure, a stout yokel, who holds out his breeches in his left hand to Pitt, while he touches his hat. The budget and the breeches pockets are full of guineas. Pitt says: "More Money, John! - more Money! to defend you from the Bloody, the Cannibal French - They're a coming! - why they'll Strip you to the very Skin - more Money. John! - They're a coming - They're a coming." Dundas, Grenville, and Burke kneel on the right, bending towards the 'Budget', each with his left hand in an opening in a vertical seam, eagerly grabbing guineas. Behind them is the stone archway of the 'Treasury', with its high spiked gate. Dundas, the most prominent, wears Highland dress and holds a Scots cap full of coins. Grenville wears a peer's robe; Burke is behind. They echo Pitt: Dundas says "Ay! Ay! They're a coming! They're a coming!" Grenville: "Yes! Yes, They're a coming." Burke: "Ay They're a coming." John says: " - a coming? - are they? - nay then, take all I've got, at once, Measter Billy! - vor its much better for I to ge ye all I have in the World to save my Bacon, - than to stay & be Strip'd stark naked by Charley, & the plundering French Invasioners, as you say". His coat and waistcoat are sound, but the pockets hang inside out, empty. His lank hair, knotted kerchief, and wrinkled gaiters denote the small farmer. Behind (left), on the shore, stands Fox looking across the water towards the fortress of 'Brest' flying a tricolour flag. He hails it with upraised arms, shouting: "What! more Money ? - O the Aristocrat Plunderer! - Vite Citoyens! - vite! - vite! depechez vous! - or we shall be too late to come inn for any Snacks of the I'argant! - vite Citoyens! vite! vite!""--British Museum online catalogue

"Pitt and Dundas (in tartan), back to back, vigorously ply long whips against a herd of swine with human faces whom they drive through broken palings from the enclosure in which they stand (right). On the extreme left is the corner of a pound through which poke the heads of two (normal) swine, ringed and shedding tears. The swine who are being flogged have, beside their human heads, ringed snouts, both heads being enclosed in a wooden triangle. The leaders are Fox, with Norfolk (cf. BMSat 9205) on his right and Bedford (cf. BMSat 8684) on his left, the others are less prominent: Erskine, Tierney, looking over Fox's back, Burdett, Derby, and Nicholls (left), while M. A. Taylor (right), smaller than the others, scampers to right instead of left. Beside the pound (left) stands a grinning yokel (John Bull); on its post is a placard: 'London Corresponding Society - or the Cries of the Pigs in the Pound'. The background is a row of conical haystacks behind which is a thatched and gabled farm-house. ..."--British Museum online catalogue

"John Bull, an ungainly yokel, short and stout, stands between Melville (left) and Pitt (right). Melville, wearing Highland dress, sits full face, vomiting a shower of guineas (as in British Museum Satires Nos. 10392, 10400) into a tub. Pitt, rather behind and in profile to the right, rests his elbow on a table and supports his head; a similar tub is before him on the ground. On the table are two large books, 'Debates' and 'Interest Tables'. In the foreground lies a large tankard inscribed 'Whtbr[ead]'. John holds a decanter of 'Conscience Emetic'; he grins, saying, "It do work em rarely to be zure it be better zo than having a continual load on the Stomach tho!" Melville says: "Mercy on me now sick I am! curse this Whitbreads Porter oh Billy, Billy, how is it we you Mon I shall disgorge every thing to the last Baubee!" Pitt, who is desperately thin, looks far more ill and miserable but is not vomiting; he answers: "O Lord afraid I shall reach my heart up by and bye! I never was so sick in all my life.""--British Museum online catalogue
