"An old sow lies exhausted on a pile of straw outside a sty roofed with dilapidated thatch. She is beset by thirty-two voracious piglets with human heads. [The identifications are those of Miss Banks, confirmed by Lord Holland. The identifications of Wright and Evans are incomplete; Ellenborough is called the Speaker.] John Bull, a clumsy yokel in a smock, holding a pitchfork, looks over the low stone wall surrounding the sty. He exclaims: "O Lord - O Lord! - well! - I never had such a Litter of hungry Pigs in all my life before! - why, they's beyond all count! - where the devil do they think I shall find Wash & Grains for all their Guts? - zookers, why they a drain the poor old Sow to an Otomy! - 'e'cod She'll make but bad Bacon for Boney, when they's all done sucking o' her - !!!' In the centre of the struggling mass of pigs is Fox with Grenville on his left. and Grey on his right. He bestrides the Duke of Clarence, whose hind-quarters only (clad in blue and buff) are visible, and supports his right. hind-leg on the back of the Prince of Wales, who is in back view but wearing a ribbon and unmistakable. Grey also clambers over the Prince. On Grenville's l. is his fat nephew, Lord Temple. The head next Grenville is that of Sidmouth, across whose back Lord Henry Petty scrambles open-mouthed. Above Petty, Sheridan scrambles avidly over the sow; Erskine, in his Chancellor's wig scampers over the sow's hind leg. Lauderdale, whose body is chequered to indicate tartan, is behind Grenville, next him (l.) is Vansittart; on the left of the latter is a group of three plump pigs one with the head concealed, the others smiling with complacent anticipation; they are Sir Watkin Williams-Wynn and his two brothers, see BMSat 9760, &c. Behind them (l.) three pigs scamper towards the sow (l. to r.): Tierney, the Duke of Bedford, and Lord Derby. Behind again, and on the extreme left. are five rather smaller animals: George Walpole, Adair (half cut off by the margin), Burdett, Horne Tooke wearing clerical bands, and Lord Carlisle. On the r. of Grey and the Prince are Lord St. Vincent, with a foreleg on the Prince, Courteney, a foreleg on Grey, Lord Spencer who has secured a teat, and Windham who clambers downwards from the sow's shoulder. Between Courteney and Spencer is a pig whose head is concealed, 'not meant for any body'. Climbing up the farther side of the sow and on the r. are Lord Ellenborough in his wig, Lord Fitzwilliam, and Moira who scampers on the creature's back."--British Museum online catalogue

The interior of the 'Cave of Despair', with demons put to flight by a ray of divine light from the letters 'I A H' in a triangle in the upper left corner of the design.

Taxes, John Bull (Symbolic character), Fountains, Cormorants, and Rowboats
"On the r. a rustic fountain gushes from the mouth of Lord Henry Petty, whose head and shoulders emerge from a stone wall or rock surrounded by trees. The water expands and falls by billowing stages into a sea, the horizon (l.) inscribed 'Unfathomable Sea of Taxation'. In this sea 'cormorants', with human heads and huge beaks (projecting from their profiles) and pelican-like pouches, are greedily fishing, while a rowing boat founders, throwing into the water John Bull, who drops an oar inscribed 'William Pitt'; only his head (submerged up to the mouth) and arms emerge. The water from Petty's mouth is inscribed (thrice) 'New Taxes'; the upper level of the fountain: 'New Salt Tax', 'new Coffee Tax', 'new Tea Tax', 'new Hop- Tax', 'new Malt-Tax', 'new Assessed Taxes', 'New Tax on Sugar', 'New Spirit Tax', 'New Tobacco Tax', 'New Candle Tax', 'New Glass Tax'. The lower level: 'new Cyder Tax', 'New Soap Tax', 'New Auction Tax', 'New Table Beer Tax', 'New Snuff Tax', 'new Horse Tax', 'new Servants Tax', 'new Leather Tax', 'new Dog Tax', 'New Hair Powder [Tax]', 'new Soap Tax', 'new House Tax', 'new Land-Tax', 'New Stamp-Tax', 'new Window Tax', 'New Hat Tax'. The sea is inscribed 'New-Property-Tax' [in whose waves John Bull drowns], 'New Legacy Tax', 'New Iron-Tax', 'New Excise-Duties', 'New Game Tax'. The most prominent bird is Grenville, on a rock by the water's edge; he stands on a pile of large fish, and throws up his head to swallow two monster fish: 'Treasury' and 'Exchequer'. Behind his back stand Sidmouth and Sheridan, greedily taking fish from Grenville's pile. Beside Grenville stands Fox, equally large, stooping over the water, to receive a dense mass of fish which leap as if by suction into his mouth; other fish swim and leap towards him. Beside Fox is the head and elongated neck of Moira, with a large lobster in his beak. On the extreme left. Windham skims the water, flying towards a number of crabs. Grey (Lord Howick) swims, holding in his beak two eels. A bird in judge's wig has dived head first; its solid shape suggests Ellenborough rather than Erskine. On the r. three birds skim downwards over the rocks towards Sidmouth; they are Bedford followed by Horne Tooke (wearing bands, cf. BMSat 9716, &c.) and Burdett. On the water's edge in the middle distance stands Buckingham, wearing a ribbon and swallowing three large fish. Little Lord Derby beside him stoops for one small fish. In the sky a flight of countless birds makes for the fish. Only the three leaders have human heads; the first has the features of Lauderdale, the one behind him resembles Adair."--British Museum online catalogue

"The Marquis of Buckingham, tall and bulky, stands against a measuring-post (left); Lord Derby, standing on a table, adjusts the horizontal bar to his head. Buckingham, wearing dark spectacles, stands without his shoes (which lie beside him), and holding his hat; he faces Fox, who is seated on a drum (right), and says: "To Pitt I made my Proposition But he rejected the Condition So I enlist with Opposition". He holds out to Fox a paper: 'Condition to be first Lord of the Admiralty'. Fox, taking the paper, scrutinizes it through a glass with a pleased smile. His drum is inscribed 'C F' and beside him is a spear from whose tasselled head hangs a placard: 'Watch Word Peace'. From the top of the measuring-post flies a flag of three horizontal stripes inscribed 'The Standard of Opposition.'"--British Museum online catalogue

"Melville, protected by Justice, stands on the 'Rock of Innocence' (l.) firing two cannon at a man-of-war, 'The Impeachment', which has already foundered on the 'Rocks of Honor and Justice'. In the foreground (l.) a bear, Whitbread (not Fox as Wright and Evans say), stands despairingly in his boat which is about to be swamped. It is in the form of a shallow tub (a brewing utensil), and is 'The Vanity-Cooler'. A pennant, 'Vanity', streams from the mast. The tattered sail is formed of papers patched together and inscribed 'Ist Report' ['. . . 2nd', '3d', &c] to '10th Report'. Whitbread's broken oar, inscribed 'Popular Clamour', falls from his paw. The boat will founder despite the efforts of three winds to fill the sail and take it into calmer water. These are heads with butterfly wings (l.) and are (l. to r.) Stanhope, Wilberforce, and Derby. Melville, in profile to the right., a stalwart figure in Highland dress with thistles in his feathered bonnet, holds a flaming torch in each hand, one 'Truth', the other 'Reason', and puts them to the touch-holes of two cannon, 'Adam' and 'Plomer'. He is lit by rays which descend from behind a swirling cloud, taking the form of wings, from which two arms emerge: in the r. hand is a pair of scales inscribed 'Impartiality'; a paper inscribed 'Integrity' outweighs 'Defamation'; on the left arm is a shield inscribed 'Justice' which is held over Melville. The blasts from the cannon are striking the battered ship; she heels over, still flying a tattered tricolour flag of 'Faction' [repeated thrice]. Two of the crew are in the water: Sidmouth, in the foreground (r.), clings to a 'Broad-Bottomd Goose-Coop' [cf. BMSat 10530], from which three cackling geese thrust their heads; it has a (tricolour) label inscribed (?) 'C. J Fox [scored through] Downing . . . [Street]'. Behind him Lauderdale's head and arms emerge from a wave, desperately trying to reach a floating barrel of 'East India Roupees'. In the foreground the waves are menacing; toward the horizon (r.) the sea is calm. A sun inscribed 'Posterity' is rising and irradiates the sky; other rightays descend from a point behind a cloud, forming a pyramid whose base is the irradiated horizon; across this is the word 'Pitt' in large letters."--British Museum online catalogue

"Between Fox and Surrey, Powys, the second violin, is seated on the ground, looking with an agonized expression (cf. British Museum Satires No. 6413) towards Fox, the first violin. From Fox's pocket hangs a paper: 'Irish Propositions set to music for the White Boys'. Burke is farther to the left, blowing his trumpet with a deeper scowl. Lord Derby has been displaced from his central position for Lord Sandwich, seated in an arm-chair, holding a roll inscribed 'Catches & Glees' with which he beats time, turning to the right where Stormont blows the French horn as before. Farther to the right Lord Carlisle, in profile to the left, plays the clarinet (or hautboys). Derby, standing between Burke and Sandwich, plays the pipe and tabor. Eden plays the Irish harp as before and in the same position, but at his feet is a squalling cat, watched contemptuously by a large dog whose collar is inscribed 'watch'. Another dog howls with its fore-paws on the open music-book inscribed 'Ballanamonioro'. On the extreme left, in 'profil perdu' to the left, Portland is seated at the harpsichord; his music is also '[B]allanamonioro'. In the foreground (left) is a fox, its collar inscribed 'Fox', standing on a kettledrum, its cloth decorated with the Cavendish arms and motto, 'Cavendo tutus', and snarling at an overturned side-drum decorated with the royal arms; this indicates Fox's attitude to the Crown and the support given to him by the Duchess of Devonshire. Other books of music, a cittern, &c, lie in the foreground. On a chimney-piece, behind Portland, is a bust, laurel-wreathed with a blank face, inscribed 'oντiς'; against it lean a lyre and a smiling mask. Two manuscripts hang down from the chimney-piece: 'Critique on the Rolliad' and 'Probationary Odes for the Laureateship'. These emblems signify the anonymity of the two famous political satires which went into several editions in 1785 after appearing in the 'Morning Herald'. On the back wall, above the heads of the performers, are (left to right) marrow-bones and cleavers, reminiscent of the bands of butchers who had supported Fox in the Westminster Election. Next is a framed picture: Fox beating a tambourine, North playing a clarinet to which dance performing dogs and a hare. In the centre is an oval bust portrait of the Prince of Wales, the frame inscribed 'Auspicium melioris Ævi' (see British Museum Satires No. 6771). The third depicts Fox leading a performing bear, while a man, resembling a bearded Jew, plays a hurdy-gurdy. On the extreme right a legal wig is hung above a set of bagpipes; it is inscribed 'New Wig' [Whig] with the letters 'C.P'; on the bag are the letters 'PC', on one of the pipes '1745'. They represent Loughborough, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, and his self-seeking changes of party."--British Museum online catalogue
