"The words are framed by a curtain, held back at the sides by 'Mrs Clarke' (left) and 'Colonel Wardle' (right), who stand on low round pedestals, as if flanking a proscenium. Both point to the inscription. The curtain is centred above by a group composed of the Duke's cocked hat and sword, with mitre and crosier (see British Museum Satires No. 11227) on a scale larger than the two figures. On the ground, between the curtains, the space is filled by a large open book: 'Thou shalt not commit Adultery' and by papers inscribed 'Dearest Dear' and 'My Darling.', with inkpot and pen."--British Museum online catalogue.

"The Duke of York and Wardle in a rowing boat, 'The Clarke Cutter', with Mrs Clarke, barebreasted, as a figurehead, rowing to right on a rough sea, the 'Sea of Disapprobation', tossed by the 'Storm of Public Opinion', from which they are fleeing; the boat is lettered 'Honi soit qui mal y pense' and is stashed with papers, lettered 'Love letters / Mrs. Clarkes Establishment / Cobbetts Hum-bugs / Bills for Furniture'.

"The Duke of York (right), blowing a horn, sits in the boot of a coach driven by a lawyer, probably William Adam (left), who says: I thought we should bring him through. On the roof is a bush supporting a placard: Acquitted Glorious Majority of 82. Inside the coach are three lawyers, as in British Museum Satires No. 11269, who are not characterized. The coach is surrounded by a cheering mob. Mrs. Clarke, a termagant with streaming hair, holds up clenched fists towards the Duke. Next her is a fat parson, who says: I always said he was Innocent. A man shouts Huzza Glorias News for Old England. Next him is a bearded Jew in a long gown with a sack on his shoulder inscribed Left of Regimentals. A man shouts: That's right-go it my Darling [cf.
