- Abstract:
- "A ship's boat, containing the Prince of Wales and his friends, puts off from shore. In the stern is Sheridan clenching his fist at two bearded Jews (left) who kneel in supplication for payment of their debts. Behind them stands Perdita Robinson, her hair loose, her arms outstretched, also in despair at the departure. Captain Morris stands in the stern, pushing off with a boat-hook. George Hanger turns round to threaten the two Jews with his bludgeon (cf. BMSat 6924). In front of him sits a man in legal gown and flowing wig, his face almost concealed, identified in an old hand (in BMSat 6992) as Erskine. His wig is inscribed 'Leather Bag'. The two central figures are the Prince and Fox; the Prince sits astride a cask of 'Imperial Tokey', holding up a glass and looking reflectively towards the shore; Fox stands behind him, his hands resting on the hilt of a large sword inscribed 'chop Logic'. In the bows stands Burke, bending forward, his arms outstretched as if giving a benediction; he wears a monk's robe with a mitre in place of the usual biretta (cf. BMSat 6026). At his feet sit North and Portland, wearing his coronet. Sheridan, Morris, and Fox wear armour and helmets; that of Sheridan is inscribed 'From Drury', that of Morris 'W Morris'; that of Fox is plumed, and decorated with a fox's head, a gallows, and the words 'We escape'. The Prince wears a fool's cap trimmed with his feathers. On the extreme left a gallows and a ship on a very small scale, inscribed 'Black Wall', are faintly indicated, showing that the departure is from Execution Dock where pirates and others were hanged."--British Museum online catalogue.

- Abstract:
- "A haggard-looking man is seated in profile to the left in an armchair beside a small table on which are two candles (which light the room), a medicine phial, &c, and his breeches. He wears shirt, night-cap, ungartered stockings, and slippers. He regards his hands with an expression of intense melancholy. The room and its contents show that he is a fashionable rake struck down by disease. A fire burns in the grate; on the chimney-piece (left) is a clock surmounted by a figure of Time as a winged skeleton with a scythe. Above is a picture, the right part alone visible; it is a free rendering of pl. iii of Hogarth's 'Rake's Progress' (BMSat 2188) showing the ballad-singer bawling the 'Black Joke'. The frame of another picture is inscribed 'Macies et nova febrium': Pandora kneels holding open a box inscribed 'Pandora' into which Mercury (cf. BMSat 7592) drops a black spot. Above this is a tailless bird in a cage. A sash-window with a festooned curtain is partly shuttered. On the wall (right) is a large hat, a sword-belt, scabbard, and broken sword, and a pair of pistols. Below is a close-stool; torn papers lie on the floor, with a torn book: 'Fashionable Cypriad'. In the foreground is a dog. The floor is carpeted. Beneath the table is engraved: '"Non vanae redeat Sanguis imagini, "Quant virgd semel horridd "Nigro compulerit Mercurius gregi."'."--British Museum online catalogue.

- Abstract:
- "George III and Queen Charlotte stand before the open gate of the Treasury, from which Pitt has just wheeled a barrow laden with money-bags. Pitt, the straps of the barrow round his shoulders, his coat-pocket bulging with guineas, obsequiously hands the king a money-bag. George III stands full-face, legs astride, a money-bag inscribed '£100000' under his right arm, another in his right hand and all his pockets overflowing with guineas. Queen Charlotte (left) stands on his right taking a pinch of snuff, and looking up at him with a smile of greedy and satisfied cunning; in her apron is a heap of guineas. Military officers wearing high cocked hats with feather trimmings (in a French fashion), and long pigtail queues, stand round the King and Queen, in a semicircle, in front of the spiked gates of the Treasury, playing musical instruments: fifes, bassoons, a horn, &c. The pockets of the two in the foreground (left and right) are crammed with guineas, those of the others, presumably equally full, are concealed. They represent the placemen and Ministerialists of the Treasury Bench. The most prominent (right) is probably Lord Sydney. In the foreground (left) an old sailor, armless and with two wooden legs, sits on the ground, his empty hat before him. On the right the Prince of Wales, in rags, hesitates to take a paper inscribed 'Accept £200000 from your Friend Orleans', which a slim and foppish Frenchman, in bag-wig and 'chapeau-bras', standing on the extreme right, offers him, taking his hand. He is very different from the heavily built Due d'Orléans (who succeeded his father in Nov. 1785) who had recently presented his portrait by Reynolds (now at Hampton Court) to the Prince of Wales. He had adopted the English manner of dress and made it fashionable in France ..."--British Museum online catalogue.

On the right., above the level of the court, the two judges, Ashurst (left) and Buller (right), look down at him. Beneath them stands the Clerk of Arraigns, in legal wig and gown, reading from a large document inscribed 'Articles of Charges'. The men holding Bowes wear riding-boots and long coats and hold cudgels; they appear to be two of the Bow Street Officers, McManus and others, who pursued Bowes with a writ and brought him back to London. Behind and on the right of Bowes is a crowd of spectators. The most prominent is a lady with her hands in a muff, her breasts immodestly exposed, with a maid or attendant who holds her arm, evidently Lady Strathmore and her maid Morgan."--British Museum online catalogue.

- Abstract:
- "The white horse of Hanover, laden with two panniers (inscribed 'Sterling') overflowing with guineas, and a tea-tray with a tea-service, is being led off to the right by a scampering demon, wearing a high cocked hat and a coat, his hair in a queue. Under his arm is a sack inscribed 'light gold for charities'. A signpost (right) points 'To Hesse-Cassel'. A sack, labelled 'For Secret Services', with the legs and feet of an animal or demon walks behind the horse, which directs a blast of excrement towards the royal party. In the middle distance (left) the royal family stand disconsolately in a group: Queen Charlotte, much caricatured, holds up a slender purse to the King with a gesture of despairing astonishment. The King, who wears a hunting-cap, though melancholy, appears resigned. The younger children, ragged and in tears, surround their parents. Behind them is Windsor Castle. In the foreground (left) is the corner of a debtors' prison, a begging-box outside the barred window through which look the Prince of Wales, Burke, Fox, and North; George Hanger's profile is just visible within."--British Museum online catalogue.
