"A kettle and a pot are side by side on the flames behind the bars of a wide grate. The former is topped by the angry and startled face of the King, framed by wig and whiskers, and more caricatured than the Queen, whose head and bare shoulders emerge from the wide mouth of the pot. Steam, covered with words, issues from the mouth of both. The King, shrinking from, and glaring at his wife: "Hiss Hiss out Hiss Hiss The Devil begone you dirty grecepot." From the spout: "Hubble Bubble Toil and Trouble." His crown flies from his head. The Queen is more composed; she wears a feathered hat, and says: "Remember when the Judgements weak the prejudice is strong." The flames under the kettle are inscribed 'Leach' [see British Museum Satires No. 13740], 'L . . . pool', 'C . . . h'; the fuel consists of bags inscribed 'Green Bag' [see British Museum Satires No. 13735]. Under the Queen is one 'Green Bag' together with several stout sticks inscribed 'Bergami Pear Tree' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 13869], 'A bit of Wood', and 'Broom Stick', the last two being her advisers, Wood, instigator-in-chief, and Brougham, cf. British Museum Satires No. 13730.

The Queen, grossly caricatured, sits on a zebra which stands in a round band-box with a hinged and upturned lid inscribed 'a Present from Bart. Bergami'. The zebra has the (profile) head of Wood, looking with greedy and imbecile satisfaction towards a sieve of food inscribed 'Garden of St Cath[erine]'. This is held out by two hands projecting from the right margin. The Queen, with a grin both calculating and insane, sits full-face, negligently holding reins attached to Wood's mouth, her right hand on her hip. She sits in a smaller (bottomless) band-box which surrounds her entirely from just below her large waist down, with only one leg extended below. She wears a décolletée dress; on her head is an erection of feathers and flowers rising from a circlet inscribed 'Wood'. An owl (cf. British Museum satires no. 14199) flies by her head. In the background is Brandenburgh House, in front of which is a braying ass
