"The Recording Angel sits full face in the upper part of the design, writing at a long scroll, which rests on a small but very solid rectangular table supported on billowing clouds. He is a sulky-faced naked child, with wide-spread wings and wearing a nightcap. A large tear falls from his right eye. The Accusing Spirit, a bald-headed, elderly man, his face blotched with drink, with wings and wearing a long robe, in profile to the right, holds up to the Angel a paper inscribed "He shall not dye by xxx". The winged heads of a man and woman, poised on the claws of birds of prey, rest on clouds in the upper left corner of the design; he regards her insinuatingly, she grins back. A cherub's winged head flies behind the Accusing Spirit. Rays of light fall diagonally from the right on the Recording Angel. Billowing clouds complete the design."--British Museum online catalogue

"A pugilistic contest between George III (left) and Charles IV of Spain (right), standing waist-deep in the sea. Each wears a crown, but that of Charles falls from his head. George III says, "Another thump in the bread basket will do your business, Whiskerando!" Each has a backer: behind George is Neptune, holding his trident and crowned with sea-weed; he extends his left arm, saying, "Bravo! my Son, make him feel the dominion of the Seas is thine and shall be so for ever." That of Spain is the Pope wearing his robes and triple crown, and holding his crozier to which two keys are attached. Fame emerges from clouds above Neptune, blowing her trumpet and holding a laurel wreath above George III's head. The two kings and Neptune are nude."--British Museum online catalogue
