- Abstract:
- "The Queen, crowned, in royal robes and with a sceptre in her left hand, sits regally in the Coronation Chair. Justice, blindfolded and menacing, stands at her right hand; Truth, irradiated and holding up her mirror so that its rays illuminate the Queen, is on her left hand. A stone slab supporting the throne rests on eight hydra-heads with serpents' masks. The centre head is that of Eldon, with two other judges, one with a leech on the cheek indicating Leach (see British Museum Satires No. 13740). Castlereagh, very Mephistophelian, is on the extreme left, Sidmouth and Liverpool on the right; there are two unidentified heads, one presumably Harrowby. Round Queen, chair, &c. are clouds. In the upper left corner, two demons, spitting and excreting thunderbolts, carry off the King 'To Hanover'."--British Museum online catalogue

- "The King, in Chinese costume and seated on a cushion, among the chinoiseries of the Pavilion (cf. British Museum Satires No. 12749), throws up his arms in terror at the entry (right) of the Queen, closely followed by Alderman Wood. Her demure dress contrasts with that of a woman, who, much alarmed, runs off to the left from beside the King. Sidmouth (left) and Castlereagh (right), both in Chinese dress, are equally terrified, and Lord Eldon peeps anxiously from behind a little pagoda. Both visitors extend an arm towards the King in an authoritative gesture. Words float from them towards the King: 'Nothing extenuate nor set down aught in Malice [Othello, v. ii] men sleeping with her at Black Heath 1808 v. call Hoods [sic].'"--British Museum online catalogue
