- Abstract:
- A scene before an American fort and palisade, perhaps depicting the indifference of Congress to the sufferings of American soldiers and the pro-slavery attitude of the Americans. A black man lies wounded in the foreground, surrounded by cannon balls. An officer gestures towards him with his hat, turning to a man on the left (possibly meant to represent a Congressman) who is wearing a fur coat, large feathered hat, and is smoking a pipe. To the right of the officer an American soldier points and smiles towards three "Death or Liberty" men, all with grim features and ragged clothes

- A satire on governmental policy towards America, depicting the deck of a sailing ship, with George III at the helm between 2 large masts. Behind him is the tartan-clad Earl of Bute, and at the rail the Devil casts the lead, announcing "no bottom." The King is depicted as saying "I trust all to you Sawney for I cannot see twice the length of my nose," while Bute reponds "Steady boy, steady and never fear while I am at the cun & my trusty friend at the lead, my dog vane is infallable." On the right of the print near a mast, a sailor warns another Scotsman that the ship is about to strike "the breakers of America" to which the latter replies "Hold your peace man; my Lord has provided cork jackets for all of his party as soon as this damned ship is wreck'd."
