"An elderly Scots bonnet laird or farmer stands repeating the song, which is a complaint of the extravagance and misconduct of his wife. He wears a round Scots bonnet and a tartan plaid over his coat, long stockings, and shoes tied with strings, tattered gloves from which his fingers protrude; a cane is suspended from his left wrist. He holds in his left hand a small tankard with an open lid indicating in London 'a dram', or gin. In the background is a small house, partly visible on the left, outside which stands the wife, drunk and flourishing a similar tankard; a wine-bottle lies at her feet, a man leans from the window. On the right is a farm building with a horse, two cows, and a broken fence. In the foreground (right) is a large thistle."--British Museum online catalogue

A montage of images with the portrait of the Duke of Cumberland in the center. The theme is the defeat of the Young Pretender at the Battle of Culloden. In the upper left corner is an image of a broadside ballad, 'A Loyal Song', sung by Mr. Beard at the Theatre Royal in Covent Garden. Over it is superimposed a playing card of Jack of clubs in Scottish dress looking wistfully towards the Duke. Below, partially under the Duke's portait is an image of the Devil drawing the Scots caught in his net towards a hill on top of which stands the 'triple tree', i.e., the gallows, decorated with a royal crown at each corner. Beneath this image is another, showing the British cavalry, well equipped and healthy, pursuing the Scots on bony horses. Partially covering that image, at the bottom of the plate, is a smaller, allegorical representation of Britannia and Liberty pointing to a beehive and a temple of Concord. The last image, in top right of plate, shows the British army marching in a parade. Eight lines of verse, enclosed in a vignette, below the medley, begin as follows: Britons, behold the Royal Youth, 'tis he who fights your battles , sets your country free ...
