- A satire on Lord Bute and Hogarth, with the head of Bute on a pole that rises from a huge jack-boot, the satirical emblem of John Stuart, Earl of Bute. On the boot is a meridian sun or Star of the Garter, a part of the Order's motto partial visible. The Briton, a journal devoted to Lord Bute lies on the foot of the boot; the scroll of "a Scotch Peace" is on the ground at the side. The "Auditor" (Arthur Murphy) bows before the boot. Other adorers include an old clergyman in spectacles. The blockhead, like those used by hairdressers, wears a Scotch "bonnet". On the ground near the pole stands William Hogarth as an old man with ass-ears and holding a print of "The Times" as he rushes forward to appeal to Charles Churchill who walks him from the right with a large whip in his right hand. In the background (right) the sun rises behind a flight of stairs as the Duke of Cumberland and Edward, Duke of York descend
