"Satire on George II's wish for continuing British subsidies for Hanoverian forces in the war of Austrian Succesion, and the objections of some British politicians. In an open loggia on the left the king sits at a table, over which is spread a map of northern Europe on top of which is a teetotum, lettered "160,000 for year", the tip of which is pointing towards him. He exclaims to a group of politicians around the table that he has won the whole stake, "Je tire tous les enjeux, Tenez, la voici" . Across the table from him John Carteret, who has a second, anxious, face peering through the back of his wig, replies "Well thrown the Balance is on our Side to a T". Beside the king another politician, holding a pen, remarks "More money for the year, & you shall have a P[eace]". The Duke of Cumberland standing beside Carteret wit h his hand resting on his sword hilt says "Smart money I've ventured my Life", a man beside him tells him "You have fought bravely take H[a]n[ove]r". In the centre the British Lion lies on the Act of Settlement, his back piled high with papers lettered "Dains", "Hessians", "Austrean", "H[a]n[o]ve[ria]ns", "Vots of Ct", "Sinking F[un]d", "lottery tickets", "lott[ery] next year, for 16000,000". The white horse of Hanover rests his fore legs on top of these and above the Austrian eagle flies with the French cock on its back. The lion laments "I can Bear it no more I'll be Bubble'd no longer". A politician to the right of the lion moves as if to lighten its burden saying, "Poor Lion, wee shall Oppose this foul Play", another behind him , holding a commander's baton pushes forward saying "The English sav'd him, where was his H-gs" ; another, wearing a sash decorated with eagles, restrains him saying "1,000,000 is too much for Mercenaries", another politician reassures him that "G[o]d be prais'd they have preserv'd ye Balance in Europe"; in the background another says "D[a]m it the D[ice] is Loaded"."--British Museum online catalogue

"Satire on the king and government concerning the employment of Hanoverian troops in England. A cart loaded with Hanoverian turnips is drawn from the right by three horses into the parade ground behind the Treasury.On the left, in front of the leading horse, stands John Perceval, his coat labelled "Deceivall" and holding a paper lettered, "Independant", saying, "In my popular station". Facing him, the bulky figure of William Pulteney, holding a driver's whip and a handful of turnips, says, "Honest Friend S[an]d[y]s rejoyce & sing here's H[anove]r T[urni]p will now come again Ho"; Robert Walpole stands on the other side of the horses saying, "Ha S[an]d[y]s you've a short reign".

Man Will", presumably a reference to Pulteney. Behind the horses stand two other men, evidently Treasury officials, one, holding Treasury tallies, says "Let me be S[and]y[s] I'm not squeamish", the other saying "Ill make a round sum"; the king leans over a balcony of the Treasury brandishing a broom and saying "Pay for ye whole S[an]d[y]s I'll sweep the T[reasu]ry clean".

A satirical representation of the Battle of Dettingen, 1743. Overturned canons are piled in a ditch with fascines in the foreground; a large dead limb of a tree separates it from the battle ground. In the left corner the word 'Steelingensat' suggests the scene is a view from the fortress. In the center George II as the white horse of Hanover rides a British lion from whose mouth come the words "Starv'd on Bon pour nicole". The Hanoverian general Otto Christian von Ilten (nicknamed "Confectioner General") confronts the lion and his rider. Also depicted are the French and Austrian generals who shout encouragement to the troups

In an elegant room, ten elderly getlemen with caricatured faces and in various stages of decrepitude are seated in a semi-circle talking to one another. The gentleman in the center has his gouty foot supported on a small stool. In the background, three pictures in ornate frames hang on the wall.
