"A circular design. George III (or Lord North) asleep on a sofa. He is in profile to the left, his head falling forwards, his right arm resting on the back of the sofa, his right leg extended on the sofa, his left leg on the ground. Behind the sofa stand two figures: Britannia (left) holding the cap of liberty on its staff, while her right hand rests on the back of the sofa. An oval medallion ornamented with a St. George's cross hangs from her wrist, probably respresenting the arms of the City of London. She says "Am I thus Protected?" A small man leans on the back of the sofa saying "Hollo Neighbour! what are you asleep"."--British Museum online catalogue
