Pairs of elegantly dressed and coiffed ladies and gentlemen sit around a long table drinking champagne. On a dais sits 'Perdita' (Mary Robinson) who assures the Prince of Wales of her undying love. He looks at her adoringly and says, "Now what care I for Mom and Dad, let 'em scold and bellow." His left hand rests on books piled up on the table (the titles of which are also listed in the publisher's advertisement). Another lady on his left looking at him may be Elizabeth Armitstead (later Mrs. Fox) who succeeded Mrs. Robinson as his mistress. Other members of this group include Lord Derby and his actress wife, Elizabeth Farren, and Charles James Fox. The location appears to be the Schomberg House where James Graham established his 'Temple of Health and Hymen' famous for its 'Celestial Bed' (cf. British Museum catalogue no. 6325). Allusion to George IV's coming of age

"A strip design of ten couples in different stages of the minuet, All dance in silence; the expressions of the male dancers denote anxiety, determination, or complacency. All are intended to be ugly, or awkward, or both, but the figures have charm, and even in some cases a certain grace. ... None of the men suggests a parson, most are lean and none corpulent by eighteenth-century standards."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a variant state

"Fox, dressed as a woman, scowling ferociously, holds up a knife in his right hand to strike the King (right), who calmly pushes him away. A beefeater (left) seizes Fox's right arm in both hands. In the background the garden front of St. James's Palace is suggested; on the right is the side of the King's coach, seen from behind. Beneath the title is etched: 'Four presumtive Reasons- Because no two Faces in the world are so much alike! - Because the Political Proteus was seen in a Miliners shop (where no doubt he bought the Cloak and bonnet) about a month ago! Because he was seen by a Grenadier of the Guards coming out of a Cutler's shop (where no doubt he bought the knife) yesterday morning! - But the strongest reason to suppose him ye Assassin is because he was an hundred miles from London at the time!!!'"--British Museum online catalogue
