- Abstract:
- An obese sergeant with a pike in his left hand stands in front of two lines of soldiers, their bayonetted muskets shouldered. He is watching a pretty young girl holding out a dish that an elderly woman sitting on the ground fills with cherries she weighs in a scale. Another girl, a young child, and an elderly soldier watch her intently. To the right of this group, a woman and a man, both on horseback, drink from cups handed them on a tray by a little boy. On the left, behind the sergeant, a small drummer boy and another boy playing flute are taunted by another small boy. Near them, an officer salutes with his left hand the line of soldiers. Behind that group, an elderly man watches the proceedings in front of him through his lorgnon, while a little boy who accompanies him, immitates the soldiers by shouldering a walking stick. A large dog stretches as if woken up from a slumber

- Abstract:
- George III, submerged in water, his head and hands raised in supplication above the waves, is being pulled out by four men standing in "Victory's Boat." They are, from left to right, Admiral Keppel, Lord Shelburne, John Dunning, and the Duke of Richmond. A "Diving Bell" with a head of a judge, possibly Thurlow, is attached to the boat by another rope. Watching from the shore are Charles James Fox, with a fox's head, and Edmund Burke. Fox comments that "As maligrida [Shelburne] now does reign / all their labour is in vain," to which Burke adds, "if boreas was here he would much swell / and prevent the efects of the Diving Bell." 'Boreas,' the fictitious designer of this print is Lord North. The printmaker Twitcher is Lord Sandwich. The title alludes to the loss of the warship "Royal George" during repairs in Portsmouth in 1782

- Abstract:
- A Spaniard using his sword as a walking stick and capering with satisfaction, leads a procession along a country road to a building inscribed "Inquisition." He is followed by a happy looking Frenchman who pulls George III on a rope tied around the King's neck and through a gate made from two vertical spears with a third one tied horizontally on top. A lion is falling down from it while the unicorn tries to balance itself and the crown. The King is followed by Lord Shelburne (William Petty), mimicking both the royal posture and dress, and holding a rolled document signed 'Preliminaries." Their orderly progress is watched by a lean, simply dressed man holding in his right hand a scourge with many lashes and the word "America" between them. With his left, he pulls the rope tied around the neck of a boorish Dutchman, his hands stuck in his pockets, smoking a pipe
