- 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

- Abstract:
- "A companion print to BMSat 5640. A large bull transfixed on a spit roasts before a fire (left) over which hangs a large covered pot. Beside the animal sits George III (left) wearing a ribbon, in his right. hand he holds the end of the spit, in the left a handkerchief, saying "Turning the Spit, has made me Sweat; by George". Sandwich holds a large spoon to baste it, saying, "Not quite so fat as he was formerly". Bute, in tartan, stands behind the bull, saying, "Twas a Noble Beast; Jemmy Twitcher". On the right is a dinner table, behind which sit figures representing France, America, and Spain. France is saying "A bit of the Brown for Louis". 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:
- "A bayonet charge of British soldiers (right) against Spaniards and Frenchmen (left). The Spaniards, wearing feathered hats, are fleeing unarmed. A thin Frenchman dressed as a petit-maitre staggers back in alarm, his arms outstretched, one hand on the shoulder of an equally terrified Spaniard. A Spaniard in cloak and slashed doublet has fallen to the ground and tries to shelter behind the Frenchman; coins apparently from his pockets lie on the ground beside him. The British advancing with bayonets are led by an officer who holds a sword raised to strike; a soldier holds a British flag."--British Museum online catalogue
