"Fashionable town loungers (cf. British Museum Satires No. 8377, &c), badly damaged in dress and limb, walk on a broad pavement. In the foreground are five figures, three in back view; all have one arm in a sling, two have a leg supported at the knee, two have bandaged eyes. Their coats and hats are riddled with holes and rents. The man on the extreme right is Skeffington, copied in reverse from British Museum Satires No. 9440, but wearing a large cocked hat. He looks round at Penn, copied in reverse from British Museum Satires No. 9441. From Penn's pocket issues a paper: '[word illegible] for Boxing'. Under the foot of the man on the extreme left, who is gazing at a lady through an eye-glass, is a paper: 'Leakes Pills' (absent in British Museum Satires No. 9447 a). Next him is Lord Kirkcudbright. Behind are other members of the 'Battalion', freely sketched and similarly damaged."--British Museum online catalogue

"George IV, a terrified colossus, tortured by demons, sits full face in an arm-chair. His right leg, bandaged and swollen, is thrust forward, his heel resting on a cushion, the swathings inscribed 'Pillar of the State'. He grasps the horns (as if wishing to cornute himself) of two little demons who, kneeling on his hips, tug at the ends of a cord which is round his waist. Above the cord are the words 'Pains and Penalties'; below it, on his breeches, is inscribed: 'Ports--mouth Briggs changed for a Dinner'. A third demon savagely pulls from the left knee the Garter ribbon which is inscribed 'Honi . soit . Qui . Mal. y .' and 'Degradation'; he shouts "Down with the Star & Garter that Old Sign must be hung on another Post." The star on the King's coat is represented by an irregular aperture inscribed 'Places out of Danger'; three heads, with hands, are seen within: Eldon above, with Castlereagh (left) and Liverpool (right); the centre-piece is a fourth head, that of a devil with clerical bands, who says: "I wish I wasn't A--h B--p of C--y" [see British Museum Satires No. 13985]. Eldon asks: "Cast--rag what's that noise about Q--n for Ever Tower Guns Firing. Thank G--d I'm here. For its a knell that would summon us to H--ll." Castlereagh: "Hang the people what a riot they make Thank God I'm safe at home, they surely won't dare drag me out of C--n H--e." Liverpool: "Devil take the Bill they want to make me pay it at Sight on Tower Hill but I should have run my head against a block for they would have axe'd me about it which I shouldn't like." The King, with gap-toothed mouth and starting eyes, his wig in a peak above his pear-shaped head, exclaims "Quee-- Car--o". The two demons at his waist say: "Pains & Penalties," and "Purge Corruption from the Commons Sewer" [a plea for Parliamentary Reform]."--British Museum online catalogue
