Lord Westmorland shown in profile flies to the left, clutching a closed green umbrella. Spiky, umbrella-like wings are strapped to his shoulders. From between his legs a large (gold and onyx) seal, labeled Privy Seal, falls to the ground. His profile and dress (top-hat, leather breeches, and top-boots) are copied from Dighton's portrait (BM Satires 14265). At the base of the design and backed by trees are the heads and shoulders of two men and a woman gazing up. One man wearing a top hat scowls, holding his nose with a gloved hand and says "What is that?"; another man, says "There he goes!" An amused woman exclaims: "Ha! Ha! Oh! My!"

"A bull (left) bellows angrily over a dilapidated paling at a picnic-party of 'cits' whose feast is spread on the grass under trees. An elderly lady remains seated, putting her hand on a pie; a younger one throws her arms round a man's neck, knocking off his hat; a plump lady, chicken-bone in one hand, fork in the other, clasps the second man; he, interrupted in drawing a cork, tramples on a fourth lady who clasps his legs. A little girl clutches the latter. An infant falls backwards, a little boy, seated with plate and knife in hand, looks at the bull. The men are vulgarly dandified, the women gaily dressed. All register terror. Behind (right) is the Thames, with St. Paul's, smoke, &c, in the distance."--British Museum online catalogue
