"After the title: "--Thus they, in lowliest plight, repentant bow--Mil[ton]. The Pope sits in a Gothic chair whose back is at an angle with the picture plane: Wellington, in profile to the right, kneels at his feet, supporting the Pope's right foot, and fervently kisses his toe (as in BM Satires No. 15665). He wears civilian dress, but a plumed cocked hat lies beside him. Peel (left) stands behind, eagerly waiting his turn, his hands together as if in prayer. Each holds a rosary. The Pope, who has a red and vulturine nose, wears a tall tiara."--British Museum online catalogue

"The Queen, crowned, in royal robes and with a sceptre in her left hand, sits regally in the Coronation Chair. Justice, blindfolded and menacing, stands at her right hand; Truth, irradiated and holding up her mirror so that its rays illuminate the Queen, is on her left hand. A stone slab supporting the throne rests on eight hydra-heads with serpents' masks. The centre head is that of Eldon, with two other judges, one with a leech on the cheek indicating Leach (see British Museum Satires No. 13740). Castlereagh, very Mephistophelian, is on the extreme left, Sidmouth and Liverpool on the right; there are two unidentified heads, one presumably Harrowby. Round Queen, chair, &c. are clouds. In the upper left corner, two demons, spitting and excreting thunderbolts, carry off the King 'To Hanover'."--British Museum online catalogue

A writing sheet engraved with vignettes and the large interior space left blank. At the top is a scene with a throne on a platform in the center at the top of a pie-shaped set of stairs with angels standing along the edges on both the right and the left. Behind the line of angels are crowds of people, with the group from the left seemingly walking towards the right. Along the base of the design is a banner held at either end by cherubs blowing horns, inscribed are the words "Come unto me; ye blessed!" Many of the figures in the crowds wear crowns, one holds a harp and another a censer on a chain. The back of the throne is decorated with three connected triangles, points down and with a crown above the oval head rest, rays of light emanating from all sides. On the left margin are vignettes entitled "The birth" and "The wedding" and on the right "The christening" and "The burial". At the foot of the plate is an image of a dragon-like beast from whose mouth streams a banner bearing the engraved text: “There shall be weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth". A large oval shape on the dragon's body is left blank
