"Stanhope stands in his library, declaiming; he has just risen from his chair and holds his pen in his raised right hand, his left rests on a small table (right) covered with documents. He wears a cocked hat; his leanness is caricatured, his legs being of exaggerated thinness. His right foot rests on a large volume, 'Cocker's Arithmetic'. Under his left hand are 'Observations upon Mr Pitts Plan' and 'M . . of Mr Sheridan's Speech - I prefer the Noble Lord['s] Plan to th[at] of the Minister less visionary'. Behind the table is a bookcase against which are pinned two placards, the smaller superimposed on the other. The larger is a 'Table of the Average Price of Stocks for April 1786', the prices being partly hidden by the smaller print: a man rides a horse in the air, above a line of buildings; a flying figure blows a trumpet. It is inscribed 'Ready for Ascension in a few Days Aerial Figures' and 'Thin glittering Textures of the filmy Dew'. On the right is a small cupboard on legs, its open door showing a chamber-pot whose overflowing contents drip on to a document inscribed 'To Prevent Bribery at Elections'. On the pot are papers inscribed 'Sinking Fund' and 'Surplus'; these fragments appear to have been torn from a document inscribed 'Report of the select Committee upon the Ministers Plan for the Reduction of the National Debt. Amount of Taxes Red[ucti]on of Salar[ies]'. Above this is an oval picture of the three Graces, to ridicule Stanhope's lanky figure and awkward gestures ..."--British Museum online catalogue

"A lady stands in profile to the right, her hands in an enormous globular muff, on which rests the projecting gauze which covers her breast. Her petticoats project at the back in the fashionable manner, but scarcely balance the muff. Her wide-brimmed hat is even more exaggerated, and projects all round her like a tent. Her hair is puffed out at the sides with curls which rest on her false breast, and a looped and plaited queue which reaches nearly to her projecting petticoats."--British Museum online catalogue

"The Prince's stud, consisting of five asses with human faces, proceeds (left to right) past a signpost (right) pointing 'To Brighthlmstone'. The Prince, the central figure, rides an ass with the head of Mrs. Fitzherbert; he wears very long spurs. He is preceded by three animals, the foremost being George Hanger led by a groom (Captain Morris); on his saddle-cloth are the Prince's feathers, as if to show his privileged position. Next is Fox, his mouth wide open as if braying, next Weltje. Behind (left), apparently doubtful whether to proceed or not, is Lord Derby (or perhaps Lord North). Geese in the foreground (right) hiss at the procession."--British Museum online catalogue
