"The interior of a dairy: George III (left), in shirt-sleeves, is churning; the Queen, dressed as a farmer's wife, sits in the window counting the coins which the Princess Royal pours on to the table. The Princess has a basket on her arm and is dressed like a country-girl. The Queen says, "Bless me, Child, you have made a very bad market! Good Heavens is it possible the people can be so unreasonable these plentiful times to expect six eggs for a groat! You shall tramp to London next market day." The King adds, "A very bad market girl, indeed, a very bad market girl - Limy shall go next" (cf. British Museum Satires No. 6947). Behind the King are shelves with bowls of cream, a furtive cat drinks from one of them. Above them, three milk-scores are chalked on the wall, headed, 'Cartwheel's score', 'The Widow Waggonrut', and 'Mrs Towser'. On the ground (left) is a pile of cheeses. Outside the wide doorway (right) Pitt, elegantly dressed, is milking a cow with a fastidious air; he sings: "I made war with Kate, a buxom Northern Lass: But such my cruel fate - " Thurlow, wearing a smock, stands with his back to Pitt, cracking a whip; he says, "She bid you kiss her A------! Damn the Whip I'll never learn the right smack of a Carter.""--British Museum online catalogue

"Pitt is suspended by the neck from an irregular cross-bar formed of a label across the design containing the words 'May our heaven born minister be Supported from Above'. These words ascend from the mouths of Sheridan, crouching furtively, and Fox, standing, on the extreme left and right of the design. Both wear bonnets-rouges with tricolour cockades and have a conspiratorial air. Pitt's arms and legs are extended like those of a puppet; his head is turned in profile to the left, a cap is drawn over his eyes."--British Museum online catalogue

"Pitt sits astride a huge pile of bundles strapped to the back of a bull (John Bull); he is about to enter a high archway inscribed 'Trea[sury]'. His pose and expression combine jauntiness with dignity. His head is in profile to the right, his right hand on his hip, he wears a large bag to his wig, and while pressing his hat under his left arm holds the (slack) reins of the bull; his long thin leg hangs considerably above the bull's back, owing to the height of the bundles. The sturdy bull, though with downcast head and closed eyes, is not weighed down with his burden. Dundas (right), in Highland dress, marches grinning in front of the bull, playing the bagpipes which are inscribed 'Union Pipes' and have a transparent bag filled with coins. The bull's burden consists of ten superimposed bundles, inscribed with figures relating to the Loyalty Loan. Some of these are '50 000!, 30 000!, East India Company 2 000 000!!!, Duke of Queensbury 100-000!, 100 000!, Pit[t] D. dass 10000 [partly obscured by Pitt's foot], 50000, Duke of Bridgewater 100 000!, Corporation of London 100 000!' Behind the bull and on the extreme left are crowded together four British Jacobins, much caricatured, wearing bonnets-rouges and looking up at Pitt with anger and dismay. Their heads rise vertically one behind the other; the foremost and lowest is Fox, clenching his fist, next Sheridan in profile; then Stanhope, the fourth a mere scrawl."--British Museum online catalogue
