"Heading to printed verses: 'A Ballad, Occasioned by a Certain Earl's styling himself a Sans Culotte Citizen in the House of Lords.' Stanhope, wearing a bonnet-rouge inscribed 'Liberty', tramples on a scroll inscribed 'A Deo et Rege', beside which lies his (overturned) earl's coronet. He capers bare-legged, his breeches flutter to the ground from his left hand. In his right is a tricolour flag inscribed 'Vive l Egalite'; the flagstaff is surmounted by an ass's head, which looks down at Stanhope, who looks ecstatically up at it, his head turned in profile to the left. Above the design: "---off, off, ye lendings." Stanhope, his coronet, breeches, and flag, are in full light, the rest of the design is in shadow, clouds forming a background. On the left three members of the House of Lords flee, their backs towards him: the Lord Chancellor (Loughborough), in hat, wig, and robes, as the Speaker of the Lords, carrying a document: 'Vote of the House of Lords One Dissentient Stan[hope]'. Next him is a judge carrying 'Magna Charta'; the third is a bishop with a 'Bible' under his arm. On the right four ladies, one elderly, the others young (presumably his wife and daughters), hasten in alarm away from Stanhope. ..."--British Museum online catalogue

"A very fat man sits (left) at a dinner-table holding a knife and fork and about to take a mouthful. He gazes apprehensively at his wife (right), who has risen from the table, overthrowing her chair and a bottle of 'Gin' whose contents stream to the ground. She leans forward, clenching her outstretched right fist, a glass in her left hand, shouting, "You Think indeed!! You Brute, I wonder at your Impudence, never was so Mild so Meek a Temprd Woman so Ill used as I am, & all because I'm the most Tender Affectionate Wife living, but I wont be treated so I wont no, I'll tear your Eyes out first, I know what you want, to set me in a Passion you do, but I wont be in a Passion to please you, you Cross Ill Temperd Quarrelsome, Passionate Wretch.' On the table are a joint of beef (opposite the man), pudding, a bottle of 'Brandy' (next the woman). On the ground at her feet are a broken glass and a knife. They face each other in profile, as do the couple in a picture behind her head (pictures amplifies subject): a virago (right) threatens a thin and trembling man with a broom."--British Museum online catalogue
