- Abstract:
- "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

- Abstract:
- "Pitt as the modern Egbert (king of the West Saxons, d. 839) is rowed by four kings, and tows behind him a small boat in which the Prince of Wales is seated, his wrists and ankles chained. Pitt, who steers, is seated high in the stern of the 'Treasury Barge', he wears a combined coronet and mitre, and says to his four oarsmen, 'Pull together Boys'. They are Thurlow (stroke), Buckingham, Dundas, and Richmond (bow). All wear crowns on their heads and badges like those of watermen on their sleeves. Thurlow, stripped to the waist, his badge a rose, says, "Damme! I've got precedence of the Young Lion"; he rows with the Chancellor's mace. Buckingham (Lord Lieutenant of Ireland), an Irish harp on his coat-sleeve, rows with a shillelagh, saying, "I'll answer for the Shelalagh without Authority". Dundas, wearing a thistle badge, rows with a long spoon, saying, "He shall remember old Nemo impune". Richmond, wearing a fleur-de-lis badge (he was due d'Aubigny), rows with a cannon (emblem of the ordnance, cf. BMSat 6921, &c), saying, "We'll shew him Gallic Faith." They row on one side of the boat only. A large flag in the stern of Pitt's boat has his crest (reversed), a stork grasping an anchor, with the motto: 'Devil take the Right P.W. [Prince William]'. The Prince wears a coronet with three feathers; he says, "I feel not for myself but for my country". His boat flies a flag with Pitt's crest above a flag with the royal arms. In the background is the river bank with trees, a church (the House of Commons) flying a (blank) flag (right), and (left) the dome of St. Paul's."--British Museum online catalogue
