"Satire on the Jacobite rebellion, Prince Charles Edward Stuart, the Young Pretender, and the pro-French and Catholic measures he was expected to introduce. The Prince walks through a market place wearing a tartan kilt and a coat covered in fleur-de-lis; he is proceeded by a drummer and followed by Scots troops carrying Lochaber axes all of whom wear cockades on their Scots bonnets. At a butcher's stall on the right, proclaiming 'Flesh for such as haue Licences', a bishop buys a piece of beef from a woman who chops it up with a cleaver. Beside this is a stall selling 'FINE PLUMP FROGS for a Fricace'e, specimens of which hang from rods over the stall while a young woman arranges more on her counter; next is a Frenchman offering 'Woode(n) Shoes A la mod(e) PARIS' from a selection on a table before him. Above the final stall two angels hold a notice, adorned with the Papal arms, advertising 'Holy RELICKS from JERSULEM ITALY FRANCE SPAIN & other Catholick Countries to be Sold or Chang'd for old Silver by Antonio Maria Francesco Credo' while in the stall beneath a monk stands before a pile of sculls holding a broken femur; the wares for sale include a rosary, a cross, a knife, 'Queen Maries shoes', bits of bones, one of which is labelled 'Legg of St. Andrew', another, 'Arme of St Ninion', and notices advertise, 'The VIRG(in's) MILK', 'Angels Sweat', 'Saints Teeth'; in front of the stall a dog holds a 'Bone of St Dominick' in its teeth. In the foreground, on the left, a group of Scotsmen, one playing the bagpipes, sits outside an inn from which hangs the sign of the 'FRENCH YOKE', while another enters carrying over his shoulder a heavy bag lettered 'CONTRIBUTION MONEY'. On the balcony of the in inn stand Cardinal Tencin, the Pope, holding a cross and a crown, and a monk; lettering at their feet reads, 'FRENCH BRANDY & ITALIAN WINES imported by P.BENIDICT C. TENCIN'. A street sweeper sweeps up papers lettered 'Magna Charta', 'Bank Notes', 'India Bills', and 'Scotch Directory for Worship', 'The HOLY BIBLE' and 'The BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER'. Behind him a Scotsman gives a coin to a monk in exchange for papers lettered 'Indulgences for 100 Years' and 'Pardons for Sins Past'; a French priest standing beside him, a white Jacobite cockade in his hat, carries a pedlar's tray laden with bottles and balls lettered, Poison Gaggs and Spanish Padlocks'. In the centre, a barefoot boy drives a donkey with panniers on top of which are papers lettered 'Petition for a General Spunge', 'Petition to dissolve the Union', 'Petitions of your true Friends', 'Petition to Restore Abby Lands and for Clanships'. On the right, a young woman, also barefoot, kneels by a basket, with the label 'Royal Nosegays' offering for sale bunches of thistles and lilies. In the background is a market cross on which hangs a paper lettered 'J[ames] R[ex]', with the sign of a fleur-de-lis, 'MANIFESTO by the Power of France and Spain Rome Sept 2 sign'd Okely'. Beyond is a chapel with a thatched roof in the doorway of which a woman kneels before a monk standing behind three thistles; on the front of the chapel, under the sign of a host over a chalice with St Peter's keys and the papal tiara, is a large notice promising 'Full Indulgences, MIRACLES Done here by the Holy Fathers of the INQUISITION Three Thistles grow out of a hard Stone'."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
An engraving, in which a coach marked "Perkin" carries the Pretender, who is holding a mask and leaning out of the window as he cheers his supporters. The King of France is the coachman; the Pope is a postilion. A monk with the banner "Inquisition" is a running footman as the Devil and two monks hang on behind also as footmen. A band of Scotsmen carry a banner "Slavery". The coach has driven over a clergyman, a lawyer with "Magna Carta", and the figure of Britannia who has dropped her purse and papers inscribed with representations of property -- Leases, Bank, Exchequer, South Sea, India, and Mortgage. In the background, a monk oversees the burning of a martyr as a party of monks kneel before a cross. Several bodies hang from a triangular-shaped gallows. The setting is a town square formed by York Minster, St. James's Palace, and the Admiralty Building, Westminster

On the left James II, seated on a throne of "hereditary right" and holding manacles, turns left to shake the hand of a monk who tramples on an open volume labeled "Holy Bible". From under the throne dragons or serpents devour the "Magna Carta", "Toleration Act", "Common and Statute Law" and "Acts of Parliament" while slaves bow before the King and Furries with torches and whips dance before him. On an obelisk is inscribed: "The Foundation of the Roman Hierarchy; implicit faith; apostalical succession; infallibility; pardons and indulgences; decrees of council; massacres; private murders; perjury and the inquisition ..." At foot of the obelisk is the Pope preaching "Hereditary indefeasible right and my bull to sanctify thy claim" addressed to the Pretender ...
