- Abstract:
- "Satire on the effect of the death of the Emperor Charles VII on the imperial electors and other protagonists in the War of the Austrian Succession. The scene is divided into two parts: on the left the scene of Marshall de Belle-Isle's arrest beside a crenellated wall, and on the right the interior of a room draped with a curtain in which the corpse of Charles VII lies in a partially open coffin with "Car VII Imp 1745" written on its lid. On the left, Marshall de Belle-Isle on his horse says “I'll Tallard 'em”, his brother grasps the horse's tail in order to cut it off, saying "We'll dock the Han[ove]r Horse Brother". Beside him, Johann Hermann Myer, the arresting officer, says "I am a Bailiff of Consequence"; in the front an English cook remarks "Good English Beef" while behind the horse's head a French cook, holding a spoon to hismouth, says "Soup Maigre Pope's Eyes". Two men stand on top of the wall, one say “He'll serve ye Lyon so". In the interior on the right, Maria Theresa dances to the tune of "Thieue and Cordelier" and the deceased Emperor's son, Maximilian III Josef of Bavaria, "to Short for is Age", shown as a child (although he was actually 17 years old), approaches her, hat in hand, asking "Spare his remains". She replies "Then Vote for ye Grand Duke", referring to her hisband, Francis Stephen. The protagonists are grouped near the coffin: a man smoking a pipe and holding seven arrows in his hand represents the Netherlands and says "Seven to one we are easy"; Frederick the Great, Elector of Brandenburg, asking "Who'll be my Candidate”, beside him Cardinal Tencin whispering "Put up the weakest"; a soldier, the Elector Palatine, Charles VI Theodore, weeps into his handkerchief saying "Damm Bohemia I have lost my Interest"; George II of England, Elector of Hanover, holds a purse saying "I'll pay my Friend's Expenses"; the Archbishop Elector of Trier, Franz Georg von Schonborn-Buchheim, saying "Drive off ye French”, holds a paper lettered “The Day of Election is -"; the Archbishop Elector of Mainz, Johann Friedrich Karl von Ostern, reading a paper lettered "10000 masses", says "I am quite expos'd"; the Archbishop Elector of Cologne, Clemens Augustus of Bavaria, brandishes a scroll and says "My Brother was a Tool: But he's dead"; a Russian in furs (identified by Stephens as the Empress Elisabeth) says "A Kingdom for an Empire" to an elegant man probably intended for Louis XV; the latter, saying "Monsieur may put up ye poor Pallintine" points towards Charles VI Theodore, and holds the arm of the mournful Frederick Augustus II of Saxony, King of Poland (Stephens transposes the identities of these two men) who is saying "Poland a third time let the Saxon be Emperor"; Francis Stephen seated beside Frederick Augustus holds his hand to his mouth and says "I represent my Wife. . ." Above the coffin is a grotesque face with huge open mouth surmounted by a laurel wreath on top of which are three feathers and a bird, beside the head is a bundle of fasces. Three columns of verse beneath starting "For what have these Gentry these four years been fighting ..." suggest that the war has settled nothing."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Satire on the Jacobite rebellion, Prince Charles Edward Stuart, the Young Pretender, and the pro-French and Catholic measures he was expected to introduce. The Prince walks through a market place wearing a tartan kilt and a coat covered in fleur-de-lis; he is proceeded by a drummer and followed by Scots troops carrying Lochaber axes all of whom wear cockades on their Scots bonnets. At a butcher's stall on the right, proclaiming 'Flesh for such as haue Licences', a bishop buys a piece of beef from a woman who chops it up with a cleaver. Beside this is a stall selling 'FINE PLUMP FROGS for a Fricace'e, specimens of which hang from rods over the stall while a young woman arranges more on her counter; next is a Frenchman offering 'Woode(n) Shoes A la mod(e) PARIS' from a selection on a table before him. Above the final stall two angels hold a notice, adorned with the Papal arms, advertising 'Holy RELICKS from JERSULEM ITALY FRANCE SPAIN & other Catholick Countries to be Sold or Chang'd for old Silver by Antonio Maria Francesco Credo' while in the stall beneath a monk stands before a pile of sculls holding a broken femur; the wares for sale include a rosary, a cross, a knife, 'Queen Maries shoes', bits of bones, one of which is labelled 'Legg of St. Andrew', another, 'Arme of St Ninion', and notices advertise, 'The VIRG(in's) MILK', 'Angels Sweat', 'Saints Teeth'; in front of the stall a dog holds a 'Bone of St Dominick' in its teeth. In the foreground, on the left, a group of Scotsmen, one playing the bagpipes, sits outside an inn from which hangs the sign of the 'FRENCH YOKE', while another enters carrying over his shoulder a heavy bag lettered 'CONTRIBUTION MONEY'. On the balcony of the in inn stand Cardinal Tencin, the Pope, holding a cross and a crown, and a monk; lettering at their feet reads, 'FRENCH BRANDY & ITALIAN WINES imported by P.BENIDICT C. TENCIN'. A street sweeper sweeps up papers lettered 'Magna Charta', 'Bank Notes', 'India Bills', and 'Scotch Directory for Worship', 'The HOLY BIBLE' and 'The BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER'. Behind him a Scotsman gives a coin to a monk in exchange for papers lettered 'Indulgences for 100 Years' and 'Pardons for Sins Past'; a French priest standing beside him, a white Jacobite cockade in his hat, carries a pedlar's tray laden with bottles and balls lettered, Poison Gaggs and Spanish Padlocks'. In the centre, a barefoot boy drives a donkey with panniers on top of which are papers lettered 'Petition for a General Spunge', 'Petition to dissolve the Union', 'Petitions of your true Friends', 'Petition to Restore Abby Lands and for Clanships'. On the right, a young woman, also barefoot, kneels by a basket, with the label 'Royal Nosegays' offering for sale bunches of thistles and lilies. In the background is a market cross on which hangs a paper lettered 'J[ames] R[ex]', with the sign of a fleur-de-lis, 'MANIFESTO by the Power of France and Spain Rome Sept 2 sign'd Okely'. Beyond is a chapel with a thatched roof in the doorway of which a woman kneels before a monk standing behind three thistles; on the front of the chapel, under the sign of a host over a chalice with St Peter's keys and the papal tiara, is a large notice promising 'Full Indulgences, MIRACLES Done here by the Holy Fathers of the INQUISITION Three Thistles grow out of a hard Stone'."--British Museum online catalogue
