- Abstract:
- "Satire on the negotiations for the Peace of Paris. A lion and lioness (the King and Queen) look in alarm from the window of a coach (Great Britain) as it crashes against a large rock. Lord Bute, the driver, and Princess Augusta, who has been sitting beside him, fall headlong to the ground and the horses (bearing names connected with British actions in the Seven Years War: "Germany", "Guardeloup", "Pondechery", "America", "Martinico" and "Quebec") run off. Bute cries out, "De'el dam that Havanna Snuff its all most blinded me". The postilion, Henry Fox, lies on the ground having hit his head on a rock labelled "Newfound Land"; a speech balloon lettered "Snugg" emerges from his mouth. Behind him Pitt, holding a whip, grasps the leading horse's reins; the Marquis of Granby gallops up to assist him, together with William Beckford (who was shortly to become Lord Mayor of London) and the Duke of Newcastle. In the foreground is a conflict involving a number of journalists: Bute's supporters, Arthur Murphy and Tobias Smollett shoot their pistols at Pitt, and further to the right Charles Churchill, in clerical robes, fires a cannon labelled "North Briton" at them, causing another man to fall to the ground his arm resting on a copy of the Gazetteer (the fallen man must be either Charles Say, editor, or John Almon, contributor to the Gazetteer, an anti-Bute newspaper), with the headline, "A letter from Darlington" (a reference to Henry Vane, 2nd Earl of Darlington, a relation of Bute's by marriage). The British lion beside Churchill urinates on the Scottish thistle. Behind this group, the Duke of Cumberland runs forward anxiously mopping his bald head, having lost his wig. In the background are Lord Mansfield and the Earl of Loudon, the latter suggesting that they retreat (a reference to his failure to capture Louisbourg from the French in 1757). To the right a group of Scotsmen are driven off by two Englishmen with whips; another Scot sits on the ground scratching himself."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "A satire on Lord Bute, his alleged relationship with the Princess of Wales, his supposed influence over the King and his use of writers as to defend his policies. Bute is represented by a boot set up on a pedestal on which is written "English places for Scotch Asses". A large thistle grows from the top of the boot and it is pierced by an arrow lettered "N. Britton". The Princess of Wales stands on the other side of the boot holding a shield with a thistle on it and saying “I'll present my Shield while thou canst Stand and raise thee up when thou art fallen”. At her feet a young lion, George III crouches saying “Tho they don’t shoot at me the darts fall very near”. Three Scotsmen stand behind commenting on the onslaught. Beyond the pedestal Arthur Murphy holds up a shield lettered "The Auditor", beside him Tobias Smollett holds the shield of "The Britton"; both shields have been damaged, the Briton by an arrow labelled "Monitor" that has been fired by Arthur Beardmore, editor of that journal. Beside Beardmore, on the right, Charles Churchill, in clerical dress, having just torn Murphy's shield and pierced the boot, lowers his bow saying “My country's good directs me where to aim”. Beside him the duke of Cumberland praises Churchill’s shot; next to the Duke, Earl Temple, also holding a bow, declares “We’ll down with this Scotch fool”; standing close behind him, William Pitt adds “’tis the general Cause Our Liberty”. Two columns of etched verse beneath."--British Museum online catalogue

In the foreground, an elegant gentleman, Lord Talbot, appointed Steward of the Household in March 1761, reproves the cook, saying "Why such waste."

Behind him, a servant sits at a large empty table, head in hand, saying, "Times are altered." Another servant behind the cook turns to leave the room, saying, "I shall have an to mysel."

- "Satire on Lord Bute, his patronage of Scots in London and his alleged relationship with Princess Augusta. Bute stands in the centre, holding his staff suggestively and encouraging Scots ('Hebronites') who are shown crossing the River Jordan in waggons and on foot, eating porridge and 'sowens' (a porridge-like food enjoyed in Scotland ); in the foreground a barefoot Scot carries a child in a pouch and leads another by the hand, another carries a broadsword and target, and 'Jubal' plays the bagpipes while an English waggon-driver complains that his horses had been killed by being overloaded. Three politicians, Pitt, Temple and Newcastle each claiming that they will retire from politics sit at a table on which lies a copy of the anti-Bute newspaper, the Monitor; the British lion sleeps and a fox (Henry Fox) whispers in its ear that it should sleep on. On the right, Princess Augusta and her ladies sit under a canopy surmounted by a French cock and turn toward Bute admiring his figure; Britannia weeps, crying "Degenerate Daughteres, I disown ye all"."--British Museum online catalogue
