"Satire on the king and government concerning the employment of Hanoverian troops in England. A cart loaded with Hanoverian turnips is drawn from the right by three horses into the parade ground behind the Treasury.On the left, in front of the leading horse, stands John Perceval, his coat labelled "Deceivall" and holding a paper lettered, "Independant", saying, "In my popular station". Facing him, the bulky figure of William Pulteney, holding a driver's whip and a handful of turnips, says, "Honest Friend S[an]d[y]s rejoyce & sing here's H[anove]r T[urni]p will now come again Ho"; Robert Walpole stands on the other side of the horses saying, "Ha S[an]d[y]s you've a short reign". The man standing on the shafts of the cart calling out, "Stop Boy they shall buy th'all" is apparently identifiable as Samuel Sandys, now Chancellor of the Exchequer; Amalia von Wallmoden sits on the turnips saying, "Thank you Sr for ye Honr. you've done me & yor. Man Will", presumably a reference to Pulteney. Behind the horses stand two other men, evidently Treasury officials, one, holding Treasury tallies, says "Let me be S[and]y[s] I'm not squeamish", the other saying "Ill make a round sum"; the king leans over a balcony of the Treasury brandishing a broom and saying "Pay for ye whole S[an]d[y]s I'll sweep the T[reasu]ry clean". On a wall in the background are pasted "S[an]d[y]s Speeches, a halfpeny a Peice" concerning the Place Bill, the Motion to enquire into the conduct of Walpole and the Triennial Act 1743; a ballad seller sits on the ground beside them. The Hanoverian cavalry enters from the right, led by a commander carrying the standard with the white horse of Hanover, and followed by mounted bandsmen, including a kettle drummer and a trumpeter. One Hanoverian remarks, "For us 260" in reference to the number of members of parliament who voted to retain the troops. In the foreground an Englishman kneels on the ground grasping a bunch of turnips and saying, "By G[o]d these Turnips are dear"."--British Museum online catalogue
