"Satire on the attempt to establish an Anglican episcopacy in the American colonies. A group of angry colonists push away from a quayside a ship named “The Hilsborough” (a reference to Wills Hill, Earl of Hillsborough, Secretary of State who had ordered troops to Boston in June 1768) On the ship is a large carriage with its wheels and a crosier and mitre beside it. A bishop is climbing the rigging saying “Lord, now lettest thou thy Servant depart in Peace” (Archbishop Secker who died in August 1768 had left £1000 to help establish a bishopric in North America). The colonists are shown as advocates of liberty of conscience and religious non-conformism: one waves a large book lettered “Sydney on Government”, another brandishes “Locke”; “Calvins Works” has already been thrown towards the bishop; another colonist waves a flag, topped with the cap of liberty and emblazoned with the words “Liberty & Freedom of Conscience”; a Quaker holds “Barclay’s Apology” saying “No Lords Spiritual or Temporal in New England”. A monkey on the quay holds a stone as if intending to throw it at the bishop. A paper lies on the ground lettered “Shall they be obliged to maintain Bishops that cannot maintain themselves”. The print appeared in the Political Register, 1769, facing p.119."--British Museum online catalogue

"The irradiated head of George IV in profile to the left, is almost covered by the darkly shaded head of Wellington, which is almost full-face, but glaring to the right with fierce yet apprehensive melancholy. From this darkened mask slants down and to the right a broadening shadow which passes across a terrestrial globe at the base of the design, covering an island inscribed 'England', but leaving 'Ireland' (right) unobscured. The rays from the King's head, only a few of which are covered by the shadow, extend to the margins and illuminate the edge of a border of dark cloud."--British Museum online catalogue

"Satire on the ministerial party's attempts at bribery to influence the poll at Brentford during the Middlesex By-election in December 1768. A drunken feast is taking place in a tavern with voters and others sitting round a table on which is a large joint of meat. John Horne, in clerical dress, sits behind the table with a small glass in his hand. A man crowns him with a tankard while waving his hat and shouting “Huzza for the Rector of old Brentford Huzza”. Also seated round the table are respectably dressed voters and a woman tossing back a glass of wine. At the front of the table, on the left, a large man picks at a bone, one hand reaching behind him to receive a purse from a man in court dress. In handing the purse he upsets a bottle and bowl of punch on to a dog, another dog gnaws a bone at the large man’s foot. Behind them a woman carries aloft another joint of meat towards the table splashing liquid on to a document being read by two men standing conspiratorially in a corner. On the right at the front a prosperous butcher sits at his ease turning his head towards a man offering him a handful of coins saying “Your Money & you be d[a]md here’s a bumper to Glyn!”At the same time a ragged boy picks the briber’s pocket. Behind him a unkempt drunken man flings up his arms, waving his hat with an election cockade he declares “Huzza for the Freemen of Middlesex Glyn for ever, Huzza!” while spilling the contents of a tankard on the boy. A barmaid on the right is filling a tankard from a large half-barrel while pushing away a man who tries to molest her. A cat sits upright on a chair toying with a mouse on the edge of the half-barrel."--British Museum online catalogue
