Abstract:
Sir Thomas Rumbold is depicted vomiting his ill-gotten wealth into a chamber pot decorated with a thistle. Kneeling beside it and embracing the chamber pot is Henry Dundas, Lord Advocate of Scotland who oversaw the prosecution of Rumbold in 1782-3. Rumbold's ankles are chained to two weights signed "Sureties," a reference to restriction on his leaving the country before the case was dropped in 1783. He is supported by his son, Captain Rumbold of 1st Life Guards, dressed in his regimentals and wearing a gorget. Behind them, an Englishman gallops on an elephant saddled with an enormous bag signed "Roupees." An Indian sitting behind him is holding a tall parasol above his head

On the right, John Bull, standing next to a broken anchor, raises his arms in despair saying, "'Tis lost! Irrecoverably lost!" Above his head, a demon flies away with a partially rolled up map of America while a Frenchman standing to his right offers him snuff as consolation. Behind the Frenchman, an angry Spaniard points to the rock of Gibraltar in the background and the exploding ships below it. On the far left, a Dutchman watches the scene in front of him
