"Three men with mallet, hammer, and chisel are breaking an enormous bowl which is already much damaged, cracked, and patched. The bowl is supported on its end by a block (left) on which stand two of the tinkers. On the ground (right) kneels Lord North, working on the interior of the bowl with a hammer and chisel. On the ground beside him is a paper inscribed "Ld North". Behind the bowl (left), and about to strike it with a large mallet, a man dressed as an artisan stands on a block; a paper in his pocket is inscribed "Ld Sandwich" and pasted on the wall behind his head is a "List of the Navy". Next him, wielding a hammer and chisel, is a man dressed as a military officer; the "Plan of Minden" on the wall behind his head shows that he is Lord George Germain. Behind North, his hands raised in pleased surprise, stands George III, wearing a feathered turban surmounted by a crown, probably intended to indicate that he is behaving like an oriental despot, see BMSat 5544-7. Over his shoulder looks Bute in tartan, also smiling, his right hand raised, as if admonishing the king. Beneath the title is engraved: "The National Kettle, which once was a good one, For boiling of Mutton, of Beef, & of Pudding, By the fault of the Cook, was quite out of repair, When the Tinkers were sent for, - Behold them & Stare. The Master he thinks, they are wonderful Clever, And cries out in raptures, 'tis done! now or never! Yet sneering the Tinkers their old Trade pursue, In stopping of one Hole - they're sure to make Two.""--British Museum online catalogue

"A bayonet charge of British soldiers (right) against Spaniards and Frenchmen (left). The Spaniards, wearing feathered hats, are fleeing unarmed. A thin Frenchman dressed as a petit-maitre staggers back in alarm, his arms outstretched, one hand on the shoulder of an equally terrified Spaniard. A Spaniard in cloak and slashed doublet has fallen to the ground and tries to shelter behind the Frenchman; coins apparently from his pockets lie on the ground beside him. The British advancing with bayonets are led by an officer who holds a sword raised to strike; a soldier holds a British flag."--British Museum online catalogue

Two obese men walk along a slopping road sweating heavily in the sun. One of them holds his hat and wig in his left hand and wipes his bald head with a handkerchief, the other, with his waistcoat unbuttoned and his coat thrown over his shoulder, wipes his forehead. The verse following the title beginning "From London to Highgate ..." mocks Londoners' popular habit of going up to Highgate Hill on Sundays
