Abstract:
"The King of Spain sits on a circular dais under a canopy, turning his head away from the English ambassador (left), a stout John Bull wearing top-boots behind whom stand four pugilists. Three Spaniards with pikes stand on the extreme right behind the throne, and three courtiers stand in the background. The King wears a short tunic and ruff with a feathered hat; all the Spaniards have long upturned moustaches, all look dismayed. Three of the pugilists are inscribed: 'Big Ben' [Benjamin Brain], 'Humphries', and 'Mendoza'; the fourth is Ward. Beneath the design is etched: 'Great Sir, I am arrived from Albion's Court, Who have taken in Dudgeon what you may think Sport; So it may for the present; but we'll soon make it appear, You'll have reason to laugh the wrong side of your ear! Our Traders in Nootka, by some of your Curs, Were all sent to Quod and robb'd of their Furs, Your right so to do which you claim from the Pope, We Britons dont value the end of a rope! It's a farce you may make your weak Subjects believe, But our right's equal to yours from Adam and Eve. Therefore if you don't make us immediate amends, No longer can we look upon you as Friends, Should you wish for a War we have got a new race, Of such brave fighting fellows, not the Devil dare face! A sample I've brought, only four of our men, Mendoza, Dick Humphries, Joe Ward, and Big Ben: So great is their power each Lad with one blow, Would knock down an Ox, or twelve Spaniards lay low, At home we can raise twelve hundred like these, That would crush all your Troops as easy as fleas. For Centuries past England's rul'd o'er the main, And if it please Heavn'n hope to do so again. Thus with Sailors and Bruisers we your power defy, Being determin'd to conquer or fight till we die!'"--British Museum online catalogue

"Roads diverge in three directions from a posting-inn. A signpost (left) points left. 'To London'; another (right) points 'to Rochester' and 'To Aylesbury', these roads converging in an acute angle. In the centre foreground is a round well-head. A post-chaise on the extreme left gallops off to London; three passengers wearing election favours in their hats exclaim respectively: "Dead or alive we'll have him I'll Barber him"; "Provided nevertheless, if he does not we will have his son"; "I'll Butcher him if he wont come Dam him." A horseman, who has lost his stirrups, gallops after the coach, saying, "Dam Mr G-----s & Mr R------ns too I'll see if the Eloquence of a Bishop will not bring him." A man sprawling on the ground by the inn shouts towards the horseman, saying, "Stop him hes stole the Horse". A man lounges at the door of the inn holding the reins of several saddle-horses. The inn is inscribed 'Beef Steak House'; over the door is 'John Dickins'; an election flag inscribed 'Gregory' flies from a first-floor window. On the Rochester road in the foreground a post-chaise proceeds slowly with shuttered windows, but flying two flags. Words come from two invisible occupants: "Tho Smith's the best friend I have I'll oppose him Bob for fun's sake" and "This will Kill me Quite Matt". Two horsemen follow, saying, "I'll be ashamed to go into Town Tho its allmost Dark" and "I'll say I have been to Gravesend on business." In front of the chaise a horseman with a flag gallops, saying, "As I am the Manager I must haste to the Hall & nominate him tho' I know he wont come." In the distance two riders proceed on the Aylesbury road, saying, "I'll go this way that they may not laugh at me", and "friend so will I". A man lounging by the inn says "I should like to go to supper but I suppose they that go must pay". On each post-chaise is the letter 'A'."--British Museum online catalogue
