Abstract:
A satire on Lord Bute and Hogarth, with the head of Bute on a pole that rises from a huge jack-boot, the satirical emblem of John Stuart, Earl of Bute. On the boot is a meridian sun or Star of the Garter, a part of the Order's motto partial visible. The Briton, a journal devoted to Lord Bute lies on the foot of the boot; the scroll of "a Scotch Peace" is on the ground at the side. The "Auditor" (Arthur Murphy) bows before the boot. Other adorers include an old clergyman in spectacles. The blockhead, like those used by hairdressers, wears a Scotch "bonnet". On the ground near the pole stands William Hogarth as an old man with ass-ears and holding a print of "The Times" as he rushes forward to appeal to Charles Churchill who walks him from the right with a large whip in his right hand. In the background (right) the sun rises behind a flight of stairs as the Duke of Cumberland and Edward, Duke of York descend

Abstract:
Satire on the conflict between artists campaigning for a public academy and those who were opposed. William Hogarth (A), shown as the leader of the latter group, rides a peacock. He is followed by (B) probably intended for the journalist Bonnell Thornton, dressed as Mercury, holding a paper lettered "Sr by G[o]d they laugh at us", and (C) Thomas Burgess, a young artist "who etch'd the Club of Artists" [BM Satires 3278]; (D) consists of a group of young followers sheltering behind the peacock's tail. Opposite them stands another group, a "New Club", led by (E) the "Chairman" holding a gavel, probably Francis Hayman, and (F) an older man holding a candle described as a "comic Poet study'd Painter and Chapman". Behind them stand (G), "a Swiss Operator", (H) "a great Projector", (I) "Toast Master General" and others only partly visible; those at the back of this group have peacock feathers in their hats. On the ground between the groups sits (T) "a late Author & Publisher of Scandal". To the right, a child (U) holding a lantern has climbed a tree in search of "Impartiality". Above flies Fame (W) "inspiring the Heros". A zodiacal arc on the left includes a pair of clasped hands (a symbol for mutual trust) lettered "Unknown"."--British Museum online catalogue
