Sandwich holds a large spoon to baste it, saying, "Not quite so fat as he was formerly". Bute, in tartan, stands behind the bull, saying, "Twas a Noble Beast; Jemmy Twitcher". On the right is a dinner table, behind which sit figures representing France, America, and Spain. France is saying "A bit of the Brown for Louis". America, a Red Indian woman, with a feathered head-dress, her knife raised to her mouth, her left hand in her plate clutching a fork, is saying, "A Dish of Buttock for Congress". Spain, in cloak and feathered hat, says "Some of the Flank for Don Diego". On the ground in front of the table sits a Dutchman eating with a spoon out of a bowl; he says "I've got a Dish of Memorial Broth", an allusion to the succession of memorials presented by Sir Joseph Yorke to the States General on breaches of their treaties with England, see BMSat 5568, 5571, &c Lord North is bringing a dish from the fire to the table, saying "I'll serve you all my good Friends as fast as possible".

While his Master, who should all his Honours maintain, Turns the Spit tho' he should such an Office disdain. Monsieur licks his gills at a bit of the Brown, And the other two wish for to gobble him down, But may ill digestion attend on the treat, And the Cooks every one soon be roasted, & Eat.""--British Museum online catalogue

"The interior of a poverty-stricken room. An old man (left) seated in a chair is rubbing one foot which rests on a low stool with the contents of a bottle held in his right hand. He wears a night-cap, his hat and wig hang on the back of his chair. A witch-like woman, wearing large spectacles, is seated by the fire, she holds on her lap the bare leg of a young man, and is about to apply to it the contents of a pot which she is stirring on the fire. He is yelling with pain. On the wall is a placard, "Dr Steers Opodeldoc for Chilblains." Poverty is indicated by the untidy bed, a broken casement window, and the character of the chimney-piece, on which is a lighted candle, a tea-pot, and a broken cup. Over it is a print of a man, three quarter length. Probably a quack chiropodist's establishment of a very humble kind."--British Museum online catalogue

"A view of Temple Bar, with three heads on spikes. The heads are being pelted with stones, dead dogs, &c, by a crowd of men, women, and children. A market-woman smoking a pipe kneels before her basket, and is about to use its contents as missiles. Another woman says "This is a sight I have long wish[ed] to see". A boy holds a stone in one hand, a dead dog or cat in the other. A man waves his hat, crying, "Steer to the North", indicating that one of the victims is Lord North; another says, "There goes for Germany" (Lord George Germain). The third is evidently Lord Sandwich. Another man says "This is a happy day for England". A man waves his wig in delight. Small figures hurling missiles are seen through the centre arch; passers-by appear through the two side arches. On the upper part of the masonry of the arch is sketched a figure of Justice, seated on clouds, her scales in one hand, a spear in the other. The statues of two kings in the alcoves show that this is the west side of Temple Bar. On Temple Bar are placards: "Lecture upon Heads", a punning allusion to the popular 'Lecture' of George Alexander Stevens; "A Cure for a Distressed] nation" and "1745", in allusion to the heads on Temple Bar after the Jacobite rebellion. See BMSat 5660, &c."--British Museum online catalogue

"The interior of a fruiterer's shop. Behind a counter sits a man (left) with long goat's horns and a goat's beard. He holds up his hand with an expression of dismay at a man who shows him a bust portrait of himself with horns and beard. The man, who wears a cockaded hat, is laughing. His arm is held by a man who stands behind him smiling and pointing a cane at the horned man, or 'Minogoat'. The latter's hand rests upon the counter on a sheaf of newspapers: 'Gazeter', 'London Spy', 'Morning Her[ald]', 'London Chronicle', 'London Gaz[ette]', A dwarfish newsboy stands in front of the counter blowing his horn, and offering him the 'Morning Post'. The boy is very bandy-legged; his cap is decorated with a leek, suggesting that it is St. David's day. On the ground (right) is a basket containing pottles of fruit which a goat is befouling. In what appears to be an inner room or recess (right) a table is laid with dishes of fruit, glasses, and an urn; four people are seated at it: a man and woman laughing and talking together in an absorbed way; a man who points out this couple to a companion. Wilkes (unmistakable from his squint) stands behind holding out his hat. Fruit hangs in the panes of the shop window which is immediately behind the Minogoat, who appears to be a Welsh shop-keeper. On the upper and lower margins of the print ten lines of verse are engraved".--British Museum online catalogue
