"The Duke of York stands astride a piece of water, his left foot planted on Germany, his right foot on England. He is dressed half as a bishop (left), half as a military officer (right), his person bisected by a vertical line. His mitre is poised over his right temple; the right half of his person (the spectator's left) wears a lawn sleeve and black gown, but in his right hand is an uplifted sword. The other half wears regimentals with half a cocked hat, but in his left hand is a crozier. Labels issue from his mouth to left and right: 'A sett of infamous Blood-thirsty Rascaly Sans Culottes, given to D-D Drunkenness, Gaming & all kinds of Debauchery' (and) 'I will extirpate thee from the face of the Earth! Without the least spark of Religion. B------t them, I,ll order those fellows of Officers to cut them to pieces instantly, they shall soon know who they have t-t-to deal with.'."--British Museum online catalogue
