- Abstract:
- "Lord North (left), with a sack over his shoulder inscribed "Budget", drags by a chain a large lion. The lion's right fore-paw, inscribed "America", has been cut off, and his leg is bleeding. With the lion walk America, France, and Spain. America, a Red Indian with a head-dress and kilt of feathers, holds out a tomahawk in his left hand; in his other hand is the staff supporting the cap of liberty; he says, "This Limb belongs to me in Spite of Fate". France holds out a sword in his left hand, his right is on the lion's head; he says, "Either by Policy or Force I must Obtain some limb or Other". Spain, standing by France, says "I am afraid I shall lose all my Dollers & get Nothing". Behind the lion (r.) three men advance with a flag inscribed "Associations", two of them with drawn swords; they point towards North; one says, "Let our Associations Stop that lump of Iniquity from Ruining our Country"; the next says, "One limb is lost Already by his Infernal tricks". The third says, "Give us an Account how you Spend our money". North is saying, "D------n these Associations they will put a Stop to my Proceedings at last." He is walking over documents inscribed "York; Middlesex; Petitions, and Protestant Petition" (the monster petition for the repeal of the Catholic Relief Act to which Lord George Gordon was then collecting signatures). In the foreground a large thistle is growing, emblematic of the evil influence of Scotland; near it appears part of some striped material, perhaps the American flag, but with many more than thirteen stripes."--British Museum online catalogue

America, a Red Indian woman, with a feathered head-dress, her knife raised to her mouth, her left hand in her plate clutching a fork, is saying, "A Dish of Buttock for Congress". Spain, in cloak and feathered hat, says "Some of the Flank for Don Diego". On the ground in front of the table sits a Dutchman eating with a spoon out of a bowl; he says "I've got a Dish of Memorial Broth", an allusion to the succession of memorials presented by Sir Joseph Yorke to the States General on breaches of their treaties with England, see BMSat 5568, 5571, &c Lord North is bringing a dish from the fire to the table, saying "I'll serve you all my good Friends as fast as possible". Beneath the design is engraved: "Behold the poor Bull! once Britania's chief boast, Is kill'd by State Cooks, and laid down for a Roast! While his Master, who should all his Honours maintain, Turns the Spit tho' he should such an Office disdain. Monsieur licks his gills at a bit of the Brown, And the other two wish for to gobble him down, But may ill digestion attend on the treat, And the Cooks every one soon be roasted, & Eat.""--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "The interior of a poverty-stricken room. An old man (left) seated in a chair is rubbing one foot which rests on a low stool with the contents of a bottle held in his right hand. He wears a night-cap, his hat and wig hang on the back of his chair. A witch-like woman, wearing large spectacles, is seated by the fire, she holds on her lap the bare leg of a young man, and is about to apply to it the contents of a pot which she is stirring on the fire. He is yelling with pain. On the wall is a placard, "Dr Steers Opodeldoc for Chilblains." Poverty is indicated by the untidy bed, a broken casement window, and the character of the chimney-piece, on which is a lighted candle, a tea-pot, and a broken cup. Over it is a print of a man, three quarter length. Probably a quack chiropodist's establishment of a very humble kind."--British Museum online catalogue
