"Satire on Bute's alleged sale of public positions paralleled with Earl Talbot's introduction of economies into the royal household. An auction is taking place in a large kitchen where, in the centre, Talbot, Lord Steward of the Household, instructs the auctioneer's clerk at a table beneath the podium. On the left, three cooks, one a Frenchman planning to leave for Calais to work for "Monsr. Grandsire", are mocked by a Scot for not being able to make haggis; another cook brandishing a gridiron and two ladles stands in front of the fireplace in which stands only a cracked pot filled with thistles. On the right, a poor man plans to bid for "old rags or broken glass", and a stout middle-class woman plans to purchase a ladle to beat her husband, while Princess Augusta and Lord Bute converse intimately; the Princess points suggestively to a large pot resting with other utensils on the floor. In the background, a chaplain laments the lack both "of victuals and of grace"."--British Museum online catalogue

A defense of the unpopular ministry of John Stuart, third Earl of Bute, Hogarth takes off from a print published in August 1762 "John Bull's House sett in Flames". He depicts a London street scene in which the half the buildlings are in flames as the political factions either stir the flames or are battling to extinguish them. The fire is the Seven Years' War and the houses, Germany and France; the two men clasping hands are France and Spain who had recently joined in the fight against England
