"Satire in the form of a transparency on the Earl of Bute and his dominance of the king in contrast to the Duke of Cumberland's loyalty, with a reference to William Hogarth. A large tartan military tent decorated with an irradiated jack-boot from which a thistle emerges; fleurs-de-lis on the border of the roof. On the left, stands Cumberland, "Emblem of England" vowing to stop "this Scotch & French scheme"; on the right, stands the Duke of Nivernois, "Emblem of the state of France", trembling in fear of Cumberland. When held to the light figures within the tent (printed on a backing sheet) are revealed: Princess Augusta and Bute express their mutual affection while George III stands beneath a petticoat implying female rule."--British Museum online catalogue

"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

"Satire on peace negotiations with France to end the Seven Years War with Lord Bute (Gisbal) seated on a hill holding the muzzled British lion. He takes the royal prerogative in ordering the Duke of Bedford (shown as headless with eagle's wings) to haste to negotiate with the kings of France and Spain. The French king demands "Canada, & Martinique, & Guadalupe, Senegal, & Goree, & Newfoundland, & Pondicherry; & you shall have all Hanover ...", while the Spanish king is prepared to refrain from attacking Portugal in return for Havana and his "Dollars"; two mocking Frenchmen look on. On the left, Britannia weeps and Pitt tries to comfort her while two other Englishmen complain of Bute's rise to power.

Reduced copy, from "The mountebank" (British Museum catalogue no. 3854), with out the inscriptions on the papers. The charletan's speech ends with : .. See here my lads heres the Golden Lozenges which will cure ye all make ye hauld up yr. heads and turn out mucle southern loons. A crowd mostly wearing Scotch plaid assemble on a mountebank's stage, bowing to him. Behind a line of curtains suggest a bed and a box of treasure on the floor. Lord Bute is the charlatan and stands holding money bags in each hand. A middle aged woman in a Welsh hat (the Princess of Wales) looks from between the curtains and listens with pleasure to the charlatan. The zany of the quack is a gaunt man in a Scotch plaid dressing gown and a tall fool's cap and holding a copy of "The Briton" under his arm and a horn in his girdle
