"George IV stands full-face on a cloud above the Pavilion; his legs wide apart; under his right foot is the word 'Decency'; by the left, 'Decorum'. An irradiated crescent moon inscribed 'Carolina' covers his face between mouth and forehead, its horns pointing upwards, above the apex of his curled wig. In his right hand is a large Green Bag (see No. 13735, &c.) inscribed 'Slander'. In the left he holds up a bottle of 'Noyau'. Across the base of the design stretches the east front of the Pavilion (see Summerson, 'John Nash', 1935, plate x) with the word 'Brighton'. This is backed by the sea, with ships; the horizon is just below the King's cloud, which curves upwards, framing the design."--British Museum online catalogue

A grotesque naval officer, with wooden leg and black patch over one eye, takes the wrist of a young sailor of feminine appearance who holds a pistol. In the background (right) a dead sailor lies across the body of a woman. The song relates that Billy Taylor was taken by a press-gang; his sweetheart dressed as a sailor to follow him, but discovered his inconstancy with 'a lady gay', and shot him With his fair one in his hand. The last verse:'When the Captain com'd for to hear on't He werry much applauded her for what she'd done, And quickly he made her the first Lieutenant, Of the Gallant - Thunder Bomb.'"--British Museum online catalogue
