"One of a set of four: see British Museum Satires No. 7176. France, as an elderly and ugly petit-maître (right), his hat under his arm, holds out obsequiously an empty purse and a snuff-box towards Holland, a stout peasant who kneels at his feet, weeping and clasping his hands in supplication. Behind Holland stand a Prussian soldier, threatening him with his bayonet, and England, a sailor who clenches his fists. In the background (right) is a windmill. Beneath the design is engraved: 'Prussian: Orange for ever! and respect to the Ladies. English: Confess yourself a French Dog! Dutch: Help me out Monsieur! you brought me in. Frenchm: Me beg to be excused. Bygar me have nothing to give; & me remember the Duke of Bronsvic, Pitt, Rosbac & Minden'."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The Regent, in tight and dandified admiral's full-dress uniform, wearing a cocked hat, is carried by two bathing women (cf. British Museum Satires no. 8432) from a bathing-machine (right) to the barge 'Royal George', for transit to the royal yacht. Just behind is the machine, inscribed 'The Best Machines in Brighton'; from it two naked girls look towards the departing prince. A sailor standing in the barge, which flies the Royal Standard, seizes the Regent's ankles; one foot is gouty and swollen; he says to the man standing behind him (left): "My eyes jack this here craft will never carry him--we should bring the sheers and reeve a tackle for him in the long boat--!!" A naval officer stands beside the sailor, and shouts an order to the man behind: "shove the Barge further a stern & be d--d to you--what you about a head there." The Regent has an arm round the neck of each woman and grasps the plump breast of the nearer one who is comely. He says: "Do my dear Girls put me on board safe, I shall Tell Paget to give you some Grog--I have been almost suffocated in that infernal Bathing Machine--mind my foot." One bathing-woman says: "Faith he's no joke Judy the devil a heavier Burthen in all the country"; her comelier companion answers: "By my own soul I'd rather carry such a nice neat beautiful young Gentleman, than the best basket of mackerel that ever was at Billingsgate." The sailor on the left uses a pole to manipulate the barge, the bow of which is cut off by the left margin. He wears a tight blue jacket to the (pinched) waist, with red collar and cuffs, white trousers, and top-hat with a badge: 'Royal George'. With a grimace he says: "D--n these soldiers jackets I can't move in em--I suppose we shall all be lobsters by & bye!!" Behind (right) are the chalk cliffs of Brighton, with tiny figures waving their hats; one woman is seated on a donkey holding up a parasol."--British Museum online catalogue

In a country setting with cows and a windmill in the background, a young milkmaid sits on a bench under an oak tree, receiving a ribbon from a young sailor seated beside her. Another young girl looks on from behind, while the milkmaid's country suitor stands behind sulkily scratching his head. A dog paws at the milkmaid's lap while another drinks from the milking pail
