- Abstract:
- Eight figures in two rows are depicted reading Thomas Paine's pamphlet The Rights of Man, each gesturing dramatically and each with a lengthy quote above his head either praising or denouncing the ideas expressed. On the top row are Edmund Burke (reading the passages referring to himself), Charles Fox, George III, and Charles Jenkinson. In the second row, Queen Charlotte, Mary Wollstonecraft Godwin, William Pitt, and Richard Sheridan seem to address each other in a similarly lively debate of contrasting responses to Paine's arguments

- Abstract:
- "George III is seated (left) on a rectangular altar bending forward, his posteriors bare and irradiated like a sun. He wears a crown; he bends forward as if to caress three fanged serpents emerging from the altar, inscribed, 'The King of Prerogative'. A pair of hands emerges from clouds: one has taken the sceptre from the King's hand, the other is about to remove his crown. Pitt (right) kneels behind the altar, holding out a scroll, the 'Irish Propositions' ... Behind him is a bundle of papers held together by a scroll inscribed 'Provision for the Boghouse 1785'. They are: 'Petition to the [Pa]rliament'; 'Manchester Remonstr[ance]'; 'from Glasgow'; 'Rights of the People'; 'Westminst[er] Petition'; 'Popula[r] Resentment'. Behind the bundle is a pyramid inscribed 'Sacrifices to Liberty The Gracchi', 'De Witt', 'Gaveston', 'Mortimer'; a hand pointing from the apex to Pitt is labelled, 'The next to fall'. In the distance is a ruined temple: 'Temple of Freed[om] a British ruin'. On the side of the altar on which the King is seated is a medallion surmounted with crossed axes inscribed 'Prerogative of the People'. It encloses a severed head in a bowl inscribed 'Charles I'."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- Between two large pedestals, the one to the left topped with the head of George II, the one to the right with a sitting figure of George III, the Coalition ministers fall to the ground, their balance upset by a large platform, "New method of executing criminals (...)" pushed by George III with his foot. Charles Fox, who has already landed on the ground, grins announcing his intention of returning to power. Falling behind him, the frightened Lord North clutches the open "Budget" sack from which several documents fall out. Above him, Edmund Burke is about to lose his balance. The indifferent-looking George III busies himself blowing a large bubble, "Royal favour." The pedestals are inscribed, respectively, with the achievements of George II and the failures of George III

- Abstract:
- The image in the center of the plate shows a fox seated on a throne placed in an outdoor setting, with a city and a river in the background. Behind the fox, a lion holding a flag decorated with the fleur-de-lis, removes the crown from fox's head. In front of the throne lie a few dead sheep while another one is being devoured by a fox. The text added above the image explains that "The following exact copy of a print published in the year 1628 is offered for the amusement of the public with Sir Richard Hill's verses delivered in the House of Commons on Monday the 8th of March 1784, entitling them His Majesty's most gracious answer to the mover [i.e., Fox] of the late humble (...) address." and "A copy of the title-page by T. Cecill to Gomersall's 'The Tragedie of Ludovick Sforza Duke of Millan'. It decorates the centre of a plate engraved with words attacking Fox. A fox seated on a throne holding a sceptre, apparently unconscious of a lion (France) which stands behind him on its hind-legs and removes his crown. The lion (right) holds a fleur-de-lis flag. In the foreground a fox (Sforza) is worrying a sheep; behind is a group of dead sheep. The fox is seated on rising ground beside a river, on the farther shore of which is a closely built town. At the bottom of the design is engraved, 'London. Printed, for John Marriott. 1628. Tho: Cecill. sculp.' Above the design is engraved: 'The following exact Copy of a Print published in the Year 1628 is offered for the Amusement of the Public With Sir Richard Hill's Verses delivered in the House of Commons on Monday the 8th of March 1784, entitling them His Majesty's most gracious Answer to the Mover of the late humble, loyal, dutiful and respectful Address.' Hill's verses are engraved on the left side of the print, with annotations on the right; they are printed in 'Parl. Hist.' xxiv. 743-4. They profess to be George III's answer to the Address to the king to remove his Ministers, moved by Fox on 1 Mar., which the king answered on 4 Mar. Ibid., pp. 699 ff. and 717-18. Hill's line, "All hail to thee Great Carlo Khan!" is annotated: Alluding to the print of Mr Fox riding upon an Elephant in the character of Carlo Khan (see BMSat 6276). North answered Hill saying, "it was exactly that kind of idle nonsense about Carlo Khan, &c, that had misled the weak part of the country so strangely". Ibid., p. 744. Cf. BMSat 6449. In the centre, beneath the print of Sforza, is engraved: 'A Fox thus mounted on a Throne, Would give the People cause to moan, But Freemen will by Englands Laws, Support their King & Pitts great cause.'"--British Museum online catalogue
