Abstract: "George IV (left), not caricatured, and John Bull (right) face each other across an ale-house table on which are a jug and two tumblers. The King wears the caped coat of an amateur coach-driver with top-boots and a bulky scarf. His right hand rests on a cane, his left arm on the table; he looks towards J. B. through almost closed eyelids, saying, 'I believe Mr Bull you are no great admirer of His M*****y?' J. B. is a respectably-dressed countryman with gaiters above the knee. He takes a long pipe from his mouth to answer: 'You are quite mistaken Sir, I only wish I liked any one about or belonging to him half so well.'"--British Museum online catalogue
