Two horses labelled Obstinacy and Pride driven by Mansfield head for an abyss pulling a chaise occupied by a sleeping George III who holds a paper stating "I glory in the name of Englishman." Bute stands behind as footman holding papers entitled places, pensions, reversions. A wheel rolls over Magna Carta and the horses trample the Constitution as mitred clergymen joined by North hold out their hands for favors. Behind the chaise Pitt the elder and Lord Camden reach out as if to protest, while in the foreground a minister offers a bag of money to a crowd of men and women. In the background America is depicted as a city in flames while a demon flies above carrying a sack labelled "National Credit." Accompanying text connected the image with corruption in the boroughs of Hindon and Shaftesbury. cf. British Museum catalogue

Abstract:
Depicts two bearded figures in classical attire (possibly Tragedy and Comedy), the former leaning on a tomb while the latter gestures laughingly at a cracked and broken globe on which the countries of France, Canada and Great Britain are identified. A satyr (the Devil), stands holding his scythe before the globe, whence from the broken area of Great Britain emerges a procession of persons mounted on hobby horses, including royalty, clergy, and a man carrying a ship model and bags of money. Time flies above, lifting the curtain on the scene, while a putto with a bubble-pipe flies towards the globe. Within the bubble is a representation of Fortune. On the ground a monkey accosts an owl, while to the right an open scroll proclaims "Life is a jest," a possible reference to John Gay's Epitaph
