The head of Louis XVI lies on the platform at the base of a guillotine, his hands tied behind his back, blood pouring from the blade and his head. The swirls of blood ascend and swirl around the guillotine like clouds of smoke and etched in this cloud are a long speech pleading for justice from the British nation and beginning: Wither, O wither shall my blood ascend for Justice? My throne is seized on by my murderers ...

Two medallions side-by-side contrast British Liberty and French Liberty. On the left Britannia is seated under a large oak looking out to sea at a ship under full sail. At her feet lies the British lion, in her hands the scales of justice and a copy of the Magna Charta. On the right French Liberty, Medusa-like, tramples on a decapitated body, as she holds a trident impaled with a head and two hearts. In the background a body hangs from a street lamp shaped like a gibbet. Beneath the images, a list of contrasting virtues and vices of the two countries
