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

"Figures representing the five countries who were at war. A tall Dutchman stands looking up with a face of despair, in his left hand he holds out a paper inscribed, "Eustatia lost, Oh! Oh!" He says, "I shall Die, I'm undone! My best hope is now gone!" A laughing English sailor (left) standing on his right holds a small bottle inscribed "Gin" to his nose, saying, "High & Mighty's [an allusion to 'Hogen Mogen', "the high mightiness", or the States General of the United Provinces] your Grief, Smell this for Relief." In his right hand he holds a netted purse taken from the Dutchman. On the right stand the other enemy powers: Spain, in slashed doublet, cloak, feathered hat, and top-boots, is reading a newspaper 'Gaze', ['London Gazette'] and sayings "If this News is true, It will make us all rue." Behind him are France (left) and America (right). France holds up his hands with an expression of alarm, saying, "St Eustatia by Gar, Vas de Storehouse of War." America, a slim youth, the most insignificant of the five, is saying, "America now, To Old England must bow.""--British Museum online catalogue

Below on the left stands a female figure of Justice with the face of George III. Under his feet are sheets of paper inscribed, "Coalition" and "East India Bill." In the right hand he holds a scale with half royal crown on one side and "America' on the other. Lifting the cloth that covered his eyes, the King blows the balloon away. Opposite the King, Lord North kneels on the ground, a "Letter of dismission" next to him. He begs George to keep him in office
