"Lord North (left), with a sack over his shoulder inscribed "Budget", drags by a chain a large lion. The lion's right fore-paw, inscribed "America", has been cut off, and his leg is bleeding. With the lion walk America, France, and Spain. America, a Red Indian with a head-dress and kilt of feathers, holds out a tomahawk in his left hand; in his other hand is the staff supporting the cap of liberty; he says, "This Limb belongs to me in Spite of Fate". France holds out a sword in his left hand, his right is on the lion's head; he says, "Either by Policy or Force I must Obtain some limb or Other". Spain, standing by France, says "I am afraid I shall lose all my Dollers & get Nothing". Behind the lion (r.) three men advance with a flag inscribed "Associations", two of them with drawn swords; they point towards North; one says, "Let our Associations Stop that lump of Iniquity from Ruining our Country"; the next says, "One limb is lost Already by his Infernal tricks". The third says, "Give us an Account how you Spend our money". North is saying, "D------n these Associations they will put a Stop to my Proceedings at last." He is walking over documents inscribed "York; Middlesex; Petitions, and Protestant Petition" (the monster petition for the repeal of the Catholic Relief Act to which Lord George Gordon was then collecting signatures). In the foreground a large thistle is growing, emblematic of the evil influence of Scotland; near it appears part of some striped material, perhaps the American flag, but with many more than thirteen stripes."--British Museum online catalogue

The five powers involved in peace negotiations in Paris each stand on their tiny island in the sea. On the left George III says "I gave them independence." Next to him is a caricatured figure representing France, with the left arm cut off. "I must have Canada and Grenada for my Arm." Beside France a caricatured Dutchman bemoans the loss of his foot, and Spain in turn demands Gibraltar for his leg. On the far right America in the form of a female Indian announces "I have got all I wanted - Empire!." Above the scene Hibernia floats on a cloud saying "I deny all foreign jurisdictions..."
