Abstract:
"An elderly Indian princess, seated on a stool in profile to the left, her hands deprecatingly extended, receives the obeisance of Burke, Fox, and Sheridan. She says, "dear Gentlemen this is too much now you really distress me exceedingly" ... Burke kneels at her feet, head bent down, supporting himself on his left hand; his right hand is on his breast; he frowns, his spectacles are on his forehead. He is between Sheridan and Fox. Fox stands full-face, holding his hat to his breast; his bow is less low. On the right seven bag-wigs are in positions corresponding to those that they would take if on the heads of persons making low bows to the Begum. Below them are three swords whose hilts are decorated with large ribbon bows or favours, also as if worn by invisible persons doing homage to the Begum. Sheridan wears a similar sword. Both wigs and swords are inscribed 'et cætera.' Under the Begum's seat appear the head and arms of Francis as if emerging from the ground; he fixes Burke and the others with a conspiratorial stare, his finger across his lips, saying, "I am at the Bottom of it." Behind and above the Begum's head is a picture of a row of conical mountains ; a mouse issues from a hole in the nearest mountain. The frame is inscribed 'Parturiunt Montes nascetur ridiculus mus'."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state
Description:
Title etched below image., Signed with the monogram of James Sayers., "Bow wow wow, fal lal &c. &ca."--Etched below the title., For an earlier state, see no. 7309 in the Catalogue of prints and drawings in the British Museum.

"A design divided into two portions by a vertical line and a slanting line which diverges to the right from the vertical line forming with it an obtuse angle. On the left of this division are the Speaker and three members of the House of Commons; on the right the Chancellor and three peers. Only a small part of the Speaker and his chair are visible on the extreme left. Fox stands facing him, his right hand extended, his left on his hip, a scroll inscribed 'Consuetudo et Lex Parliamenti' issues from his mouth. Burke stands with his back to Fox, scowling with folded arms; his scroll is inscribed 'Tropes Figures and a long Speech'. Sheridan stands in back view, facing Burke and bending forward, his scroll is 'Speech all Point'. The figures on the right have similar attitudes to those on the left, only the extreme left of the Chancellor and Woolsack being visible. Loughborough, in back view, wearing a judge's wig and gown, says "Lex Parliamenti"; Stormont says "Long Speech". Lord Derby, turning to the right in a mincing attitude, says, "Point de tout"."--British Museum online catalogue, description of another version of the same design
