"Below the title: Dedicated without permission, to the Church Commissioners--Nash, much caricatured, is spiked by the seat of his trousers on the spire of All Souls Church, Langham Place, the upper part of the ring of pillars below the spire forming the base of the design. He is suspended like a scarecrow, large in proportion to the building, his arms extended horizontally from the shoulders and hanging limply from the elbow, his head is turned to the left. Carrion birds fly round him. There is a background of clouds. Below the dedication: Providence sends meat, Parliament sends Funds-- The Devil sends cooks-- But, who sends the Architects?--!!!"--British Museum online catalogue
