The house on the right. is a more important building and its door has a plate inscribed "Lieut: Genl Bombardi. . N° 40". Grey Cooper stands at a different angle, showing more than his profile, his forefinger is laid against his cheek. He is saying "Then - My Led and I - his Ledship introduced the Affair you and I know of". Sir R. Hamilton (Bombardinian) answers "Hum-Aye-Mum". The same quotation from Churchill is engraved under the title. An inscription etched in the lower right. corner has been obliterated, the last words seem to resemble "J. Sayers."."--British Museum online catalogue

- "An Irishman seated on a bull which is galloping across open country towards London, seen in the distance on the right., St. Paul's being visible. He wears a short jacket and ragged knee-breeches, his legs and feet are bare. His hair is dishevelled and he is urging on the bull with his hat, which is raised in his right hand. He sits facing the animal's tail, which he holds in his left hand. From his saddle-bag appear books: "St Pat . ." and "New System of Fortune Hunting"; a paper hangs out of it inscribed with a list of ladies with fortunes, beginning "Lady Mary Rotten Rump St James Square 30,000£". A sack inscribed "Potatoes" is tied to the bull in front of the saddle. A milestone shows that it is "IIII Miles from [London]".--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "On the further side of a stream, inscribed "Rubicon - Flu -", a bull representing John Bull is being baited. On his back sits Lord North in profile to the left., very obese and asleep; at his back is a large square pack, inscribed "Taxes". The bull is held by a rope which is twisted round a post inscribed "The Last Stake", the end being held by a Scotsman in Highland dress intended for Bute, and by a man in judge's wig and robes, evidently Mansfield. Two other members of 'the Junto' are goading the bull on, one with a pole, the other with a club. The bull is being attacked by France with a sword, and Spain with a spear. France wears a coat, hat and bag-wig of French fashion, Spain wears a slashed doublet, ruff and cloak. In front of an inn-door (l.) behind them stands George III, watching the struggle complacently, his hands in his pockets. Above the door the signboard, on which is a crown, is falling off, and hangs from one hook only. From a window a woman's arm empties a chamber-pot on to the king's head. In the foreground, on the nearer side of the "Rubicon" a Dutchman (r.) stands facing the wall of a building, urinating on a paper inscribed "British Memorial".--British Museum online catalogue
