"A design in two compartments, one above the other, the figures in both being three quarter length. [1] A ragged French barber, in profile to the right, gesticulating and capering, says to six terror-stricken companions: "O sacre dieu! de King is escape! de King is escape". The foremost listener is a tailor, his shears stuck through the string of his apron, a measuring-tape round his shoulders, but wearing a cocked hat and sword. On the extreme left is a diminutive postboy. All are much caricatured with expressions denoting dismay. The barber wears a bag-wig, with a comb stuck in his hair; the others wear tricolour cockades in their hats. [2] Another group of ruffians listen with delight to a cook (left) who says, taking a pinch of snuff, and capering, "Aha! be gar, de King is retaken! Aha! Monsr Lewis is retaken! Aha!" In his cap is a tricolour cockade inscribed 'Liberty'; he wears over-sleeves, a spoon and fork are stuck through his apron-string, a string of frogs hangs from his belt. His most prominent listener is a shoe-black with a grotesquely wide grin, who stands, shoe in one hand, brush in the other. These much-caricatured ragamuffins are typical of the French republicans depicted by Gillray: at once ludicrous and horrible."--British Museum online catalogue

"A bishop leans back exhausted in an armchair (right). The lawn sleeve on his left arm has been rolled up, blood spouts from a puncture on to the floor and pours from a broken bowl lying on the ground. The doctor turn his back on his patient and hastens towards a door (left) through which looks a groom holding a horse. The groom says, "Docter Docter, my masters horse has got the spavin." The doctor, grinning with pleasure, says: "Who does he belong to? never saw such a beautiful creature in my life! What a neck! what a nose! what a magic eye!... I'll go and dress him out of hand - Whats a head of the Church to the heels of a horse." On the wall is a picture of 'Durham Cathedral' (interior) showing that the patient is the Bishop of Durham. Behind him are a Bible and other books on a shelf, above which is a mitre. A crozier hangs from the wall. On the right is a table with medicine bottles. The doctor wears old-fashioned dress with wide cuffs and flapped waistcoat; a syringe, &c, projects from his pocket.
