He is surrounded by the four knaves from a set of playing cards and a picture of an ass. Four other prints on top of the portrait are: "Tory Tom and his mistress a carouseing", "A blind Tory leading his blind brother", "Jack Highchurch in the stocks", and "A Tory's sneaking submission to a Whig". The title of this print comes from the fifth print in lower left
