"A lady walks from the spectator holding out a closed parasol in her right hand; with the left she raises the back of her dress, showing a leg but letting her skirt trail on the ground. She wears a poke bonnet projecting horizontally beyond her face, a short-waisted clinging dress, with short sleeves and elbow length gloves. A frilled tippet or plastron blows back from her shoulders, forming a triangle."--British Museum online catalogue

A minister, possibly the Chancellor, holds out a large magnifying glass in his right and and gestures with his left hand. He is wearing a long coat and a long powdered wig. He addresses John Bull: Look through this glass Mr Bull and behold your future prosperity, looking towards a cloud within which the future is foretold. In the cloud John Bull is depicted in seven different scenarios: drinking unadulterated porter, free from taxes, smoking Trinidad tobacco, talking French & grown quite a fine gentleman, eating cinnamon from Ceylon, free from care, and with bread at 6d the quarter loaf. John Bull says: 'what be all those people I see. Mercy on us so many good things will be more than I can bear'. His companion replies: 'Look through this glass Mr. Bull & behold your future prosperity, it magnifies but very little I assure you'.

John Bull winks his eye and licks his lip as he embraces a homely, larger woman with a patched-dress with warts on her face. His top hat, cane, and gloves are on a table to the right. In a speech bubble above his head: Come, come, no grinning!! A bad piece is better than no piece at all

"A woman, elderly, short, and broad, with swarthy Jewish features, stands, her head turned in profile to the right, holding a goose perched on her forefinger. In her right hand is the end of a ribbon attached to its leg. She says: "Say little foolish Fluttering thing". Her head is covered with dark curls in which are flowers and a ribbon. She wears a short-waisted dress, with the slashed and vandyked bodice associated with the stage or (in caricature) with Spain. The background, with cast shadows, suggests the stage."--British Museum online catalogue
