"Queen Caroline, stout and raddled, with black ringlets, stands full-face and four-square, bending forward as if bowing, with a fixed stare from black beady eyes. She wears the feathered hat (caricatured) of the 'trial', and a fur-bordered pelisse. Under her right arm is a rolled document, 'List of [Addres]ses'; in her left hand she awkwardly raises her skirts in order to bow. She stands on a grass plot in front of Brandenburgh House. Below the design: ... 'Lo! yonder she walketh in maiden sweetness, with innocence on her mind and modesty in her cheek. Her hand seeketh employment; her foot delighteth not in gadding abroad. She is cloathed with neatness; she is fed with temperance; humility and meekness are as a crown of glory circling her head. Her breast is the mansion of goodness; and therefere [sic] she suspecteth no evil in others. Decency is in all her words; in her answers are mildness and truth. Submission and obedience are the lessons of her life; and peace and happiness are her rewards. Before her steps walketh Prudence; and Virtue attendeth at her right hand. Her eye speaketh softness and love; but discretion with a sceptre sitteth on her brow. The tongue of the licentious is dumb in her presence; the awe of her virtue keepeth him silent. Happy Bartolomeo [Bergami]!!! he putteth his heart in her bosom, and receiveth Comfort. Thus the prudence of her management is an honor to her husband, and he must hear her praise with silent delight.!!!'"--British Museum online catalogue, description of a variant state

"The Dey of Tunis, a fat Turk, sits cross-legged on one mattress (left), the Princess of Wales, in Turkish costume, on another; her huge breasts are immodestly bare. He smokes a long pipe, and puffs smoke sideways towards his visitor with an inscrutable expression; beside him are coffee-pot and cup. She smokes a hookah; a bottle of 'Coniac' and a glass are beside her. A Tunisian with a long beard and baggy breeches stands between them, staring and bowing towards the Princess; he says: "His Highness Trusts the endeavours of his household for your Gratification is successful and that happiness in the Halb of the Faithfull attends you." She answers: "their Assiduities are unceasing I am as Happy as the Dey [altered to] Day is Long!!!"

"The Queen (left) and King sit side by side on a double throne, almost back to back, while turning their eyes warily towards each other. They wear royal robes, the King is caricatured; at his knee is a rosette in the centre of which a bottle is depicted; he holds orb and sceptre. She is comely but stout, her dress unduly defining her figure. The Archbishop, gross and bloated, stands behind the throne, sourly placing a large crown on the King's head. The Queen, who holds a fan, says: Oh! the Brute, but I'll teaze him. He says: What a D--n'd thing I cannot shake her off, she is as artfull as the Devil,--curse Matrimony."--British Museum online catalogue
