- Abstract:
- "The Prince of Wales lies on his back on an operating-table (cf. BMSat 7512), wearing his feathers as a coronet. Members of the Ministry holding knives surround the Prince; their operations are directed by Pitt, who is seated in a throne-like chair raised above the others. He points with a long wand at the Prince's star, saying to Dundas, "The good Qualities of his heart will certainly ruin our plan therefore cut that out first". Dundas holds a knife, looking up at Pitt, as if to read a paper which he holds out: 'Thanks from the City of London with £50,000'. Next Dundas, and at Pitt's feet, sits Sydney, holding a knife, and looking ferociously at the Prince. In an armchair by the Prince's feet sits Grafton, staring fiercely at the Prince, and holding a knife in each hand. His left foot rests on a basket containing surgeon's tools; a pair of shears and a saw lie beside it. Beside Grafton and on the extreme left stands Richmond, also glaring fiercely at the Prince; he holds a headsman's axe. At the Prince's head, seated with folded arms and closed or lowered eyes is Thurlow (right), his position indicative of his temporizing attitude, see BMSat 7377. The Prince's left arm droops over blank papers, which appear to be intended for some inscription."--British Museum online catalogue

- "A game of marbles (taw, cf.

The Prince wears one of the cushioned caps ('puddings') then used to protect children's heads; in it are three feathers. The crown is at his feet, surrounded by a ring of marbles. Fox and Sheridan kneel side by side; Fox is about to play, saying, "My Game for a Crown". Sheridan, holding his marble, says, "Knuckle down and dont funck, [To funk = to advance the hand unfairly in playing marbles. Partridge, 'Dict. of Slang', 1937.] Charley". Burke stands behind them, leaning eagerly forward, saying, "My turn next Sherry". He wears a Jesuit's biretta (cf. BMSat 6026). Pitt, 'chapeau-bras', wears court dress. Behind the Prince is a circular stand on wheels for supporting a toddling child."--British museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "The six Commissioners from Ireland seated on bulls, facing and clutching the tails of the animals (as in Gillray's 'Paddy', BMSat 5605), gallop towards the façade of Carlton House, where the Prince of Wales (left) and the Duke of York (right) look from behind pillars at the embarrassing deputation. Their leader, Leinster (left), holds a long document, saying, "Aye Aye the M------ of B------k------m will remember me when I go back". The others say (left to right), "By Jasus the folks stare at us as they do at Wild beastises"; "Lord what a nice Errand is this make him Regent whether or no"; "I say my Friend C------n-----y [Connolly] we shall be there the Day before the Fair"; "Well? Yes I dare say well why he was so bad he could say nothing but What, What, What, when we left Dublin" (it was noted (8 Feb.) as a sign of the King's recovery that he had resumed his habitual 'What, what', a phrase never used during his illness, F. Greville, 'Diaries', p. 213); "What no occasion for a R--g--t then by Jasus we will go back again and tell the Lads we are all mad & by the Lord 'tis my opinion we are come over for nothing at all at all." The bulls are being urged on by two men in court-suits with long rat's tails to show that they are 'rats'. They are (left) 'D . . . Q------', the Duke of Queensberry, and (right) 'M------s L------', Marquis of Lothian. From an upper window on the extreme right, inscribed 'Pall Mall Ordinary', Weltje (cf. BMSat 7509) looks down at the scene, saying, "Begar I must go prepare more Sourcrout for dese Wild Bullocks."--British Museum online catalogue

- "Pitt and his followers are in wild pursuit of the crown which soars on widespread wings in the upper right corner of the design. Pitt, reaching up to it, is about to fall over a cliff into the pit of hell, from which flames and smoke are rising. He says, "I'll have thee or perish in the attempt, for my ambition knows no bounds". Richmond falls head first into the pit, saying to two demons who wait for him with extended pitchforks, "Spare me this time and you shall have Coals in future without duty" (an allusion to the 'Richmond shilling'). One answers, "All your Great grandfather's [Charles II's] Whores are waiting dinner for you". Immediately behind Pitt runs Thurlow, his wig falling from his head; he raises the mace in both hands to strike at the flying crown ..."--British Museum online catalogue

- "Pitt rides (right to left) a zebra; he sits on the animal's hind quarters, flourishing a whip; before him are two panniers filled with jewels, one inscribed 'Rights and Wrongs'. From the zebra's neck hangs a large jewel inscribed 'Bulse'. He says, "I have thrown off the Mask. I can blind the people no longer and must now carry every thing by my bought Majority." The zebra (the Queen) is led by Dundas (left) [Identified by Miss Banks as Thurlow: the resemblance to either is inconclusive, though pointing to Thurlow, but the inscription indicates Dundas.] and urged on by Richmond (right), who prods it with a goad. It says, "What are Childrens rights to Ambition - I will rule in spite of them if I can conceal things at Q." [Kew.] In front of Dundas (left) is a signpost: "To Tower Hill by B------m [Buckingham] house". Dundas turns his head to shout at Pitt: "So many Scotchmen have left their heads behind in this d------d tower for treason I begin to tremble as much as thief in the rear for my own." Richmond, noted for his unfailing support of Pitt, says, "Skulking in the rear out of sight suits best my character." Behind him (right) is a cannon."--British Museum online catalogue

- "A strip design of a procession (left to right) of isolated figures, the names etched beneath, the words spoken above, as in BMSat 7482. The stout 'M--t--ws M--y--r' (Matthews, Mayor) heads the procession, he carried a pole across his shoulder on one end of which is he 'Rochester Address', a large yellow (buff) placard, decorated with blue gibbons, at the other end a bundle of wood; he says "I'll send him some Chips' (suggesting a post in the Dockyard). He is followed by 'A------n Sp------e' (Alderman Spice or Spence), an obese tallow-chandler, carrying a bunch of candles, and saying, "I'll assist him with my long Sixes". Next is a very lean apothecary with a large syringe, 'A------n T--m--n' (Alderman Thompson), saying, "he stand in Need of my Preventative." These three and the last man wear civic gowns. Next is 'A------n Fr--w--r' who turns the tap of a cask held under his arm, saying, "Aye Aye he shall have some Chatham Butt." Next is 'P--t--ce' (Prentice), with three bottles of wine; he turns to say to the barber who follows him, "I'll give him 13 to the Dozen and all sour". 'F--n--s' (as a 'flying barber', cf. BMSat 6834), carries a wig box, a covered pot of hot water, and a barber's bowl under his arm, saying, "I'll shave him I warrant you." A lean and elderly lawyer 'Sp------ks' (Sparks) follows, A case in Law protruding from his pocket; he says, "I'll beg to speak to Sherry for his business, bailing Actions, Demands writs of error &c That is if he'I promise to see me paid." A foppish man, 'B--st--w' (Bristow), with his hands thrust in his breeches pockets, says, "he shall never be tried by the Court of Conscience" (a court for the recovery of small debts). The next man 'R--b--n' (Robinson), also fashionably dressed, holds up a small rectangular object, saying, "There are your right sort none of your Quack". The last man, very obese, 'A------n N---h---n' (Alderman Nicholson), holds a brick and a trowel, saying, "I hope to have a Job to make him some Fortifications."--British Museum online catalogue
