On the table to the left are four more heads wearing coronets with more heads on the shelves to the left of the oven. Speech balloon above Pitt reads, "Blast this roll. it is the crookedest son of a bitch that ever came out of an oven." The king's speech balloon reads, "Such a batch and such a match, there never was I swear now, But how it all was brought about That's neither here nor there now. [...] doodle &c."

"A pugilistic encounter between Pitt and Thurlow, who is seated on the Woolsack. Pitt, stripped to the waist, stands defiantly in profile to the right, saying, "I'll soon kick you from your stool you old hard hearted, brow beating monster". Thurlow, contemptuous of his opponent, sits confidently in shirt and breeches, arms outstretched, saying, "Afraid of him, b------t me, a dried eel skin! an ill shap'd figure of one, b------t me! no, no, I've got some bottom but he's got none" [cf. BMSat 8070]. Pitt's backer is the King, who stoops forward, hands on knees, saying, "Ward off that blow, Billy, never mind his looks, at him again." Behind the Chancellor is the Queen, holding the mace and the bag of the Great Seal; she says, "He never gave a good stroke in his life, dont be afraid of him". Behind her, and on the extreme right, appears the head and shoulders of the Devil, saying, "My Pupil will beat for a Million". Behind the King and on the extreme left is Dundas, holding his nose, and saying, "I have not smelt such a stink since I left Edinburgh! Somebody has dropp'd a daisy I'm sure.""--British Museum online catalogue
