Hell broke loose, Billy & his gang working the swine [graphic]O'Keefe, W., active 1794-1805, artist[ca. 1795?]engPitt, leaping through the air and surrounded by demons, pursues (left to right) fleeing swine with human heads. In his right hand he flourishes a scourge with three weighted lashes, two inscribed 'Powder Tax', the third 'Wig Tax'. The swine wear wigs or have long hair. In his left hand he holds a sceptre terminating in a spike with which he prods a pig who turns round to snarl. Two of the attendant demons breathe fire and hold firebrands. A small demon prods with a triden, and seizes the tail of, a large pig who leaps through the air, its wig flying from its head. Another demon rides a pig, flourishing a scourge. Four birds (right) fly away.
