On the right a grotesque figure representing the French Republic sits on a pile of gin barrels, serpents writhing in her hair as flames -- labelled Rapine, Murder, Famine, Atheism -- spit from their mouths. At her feet lies the decapitated figure of Justice. Approaching her from the left are Stanhope carrying a model of the House of Lords, a crown, sceptre and the Holy Bible.

Two huntsmen are seated at a table outside a wayside inn, one of whom turns to take on his knee a maidservant, a pretty girl who holds a jug in her right hand, and places a hand on her breast; the other (right) eats voraciously a slice of the roast beef. Behind, the innkeeper hurries from the door with a punch-bowl. At a horse-trough (left), placed under the inn-sign of a leaping stag, two saddle-horses are drinking; an ostler stands beside them."--British Museum online catalogue
