- Abstract:
- "Satire on the negotiations for the Peace of Paris. A lion and lioness (the King and Queen) look in alarm from the window of a coach (Great Britain) as it crashes against a large rock. Lord Bute, the driver, and Princess Augusta, who has been sitting beside him, fall headlong to the ground and the horses (bearing names connected with British actions in the Seven Years War: "Germany", "Guardeloup", "Pondechery", "America", "Martinico" and "Quebec") run off. Bute cries out, "De'el dam that Havanna Snuff its all most blinded me". The postilion, Henry Fox, lies on the ground having hit his head on a rock labelled "Newfound Land"; a speech balloon lettered "Snugg" emerges from his mouth. Behind him Pitt, holding a whip, grasps the leading horse's reins; the Marquis of Granby gallops up to assist him, together with William Beckford (who was shortly to become Lord Mayor of London) and the Duke of Newcastle. In the foreground is a conflict involving a number of journalists: Bute's supporters, Arthur Murphy and Tobias Smollett shoot their pistols at Pitt, and further to the right Charles Churchill, in clerical robes, fires a cannon labelled "North Briton" at them, causing another man to fall to the ground his arm resting on a copy of the Gazetteer (the fallen man must be either Charles Say, editor, or John Almon, contributor to the Gazetteer, an anti-Bute newspaper), with the headline, "A letter from Darlington" (a reference to Henry Vane, 2nd Earl of Darlington, a relation of Bute's by marriage). The British lion beside Churchill urinates on the Scottish thistle. Behind this group, the Duke of Cumberland runs forward anxiously mopping his bald head, having lost his wig. In the background are Lord Mansfield and the Earl of Loudon, the latter suggesting that they retreat (a reference to his failure to capture Louisbourg from the French in 1757). To the right a group of Scotsmen are driven off by two Englishmen with whips; another Scot sits on the ground scratching himself."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Satirical riposte to Hogarth's 'The Times Plate 1' (Paulson 211) contrasting particular elements of that print to suggest that Lord Bute is creating faction within the country while Pitt and his supporters attempt to calm the situation. St James's Palace is ablaze; flames issuing from the gate set fire to an inn sign of the globe lettered "New Lost Land" (a reference to the recent loss of Newfoundland). On the left, Bute, wearing a tartan night shirt, holding a large pair of bellows, runs away from the fire but encourages it by breaking wind; two other Scots, crouching, also break wind, one of them addressing the other as "Brother Small Wit" (i.e., Tobias Smollett); Henry Fox runs away from Bute's supporters crying, "D[am]n the Dogs how they stink I'll turn my tail on them". On the right, Pitt stands on a fire engine directing a jet of water on the fire (in contrast to Hogarth's print where he stands on stilts fanning the flames while a supporter of the king is the chief fire fighter); the pump is manned by the Dukes of Newcastle and Cumberland and sailors who parallel the prominent sailor in Hogarth's print. Cumberland complains that the "machine is sadly out of Order" (meaning government) to which Newcastle responds "Yes ever since you left it", referring to Cumberland's resignation from military command. The sailors allude to Pitt's letter of October 1761 to William Beckford in which he explains his resignation "in order not to remain responsible for measures which I was no longer allowed to guide" (published in the Annual Register, 1761, p.300); they compare Pitt as the "Master [who] Guides it well" with Bute whose action is a wind that "encreases the Flame" and "comes from a very foul quarter". Charles Churchill, in clerical dress, walks towards the Pitt's group carrying a bucket labelled "North Briton" and offering to "help without hope of a Pension", an allusion to payments made by the Crown both to Hogarth and to Pitt. In the background, to left, a group of men look on saying the "Squire" (the king) and his family are "safe on the other side" (implying they have joined the opponents of Lord Bute, which was not in fact the case); one man continues to encourage Bute, "Blow away my Lad they will expend all their Water soon". Etched verses below describe the scene in scurrilous terms suggesting that the fire began in "the Welch Ladys Bed Room", i.e., that of Princess Augusta, and call for quenching of the "Fire of Party."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "Satire on the resignation of Lord Bute. George III is enthroned, Peace and Fame flying above and a large dog and a lion crouching at his feet; he welcomes the Duke of Newcastle and William Pitt who kneel before him (it was assumed that these two men would return to government, although in the event George Grenville replaced Bute). Britannia is seated in the centre of the print, facing a hydra-headed monster of faction; she is saying "See this and Tremble all you that wish evil to Israel" (Israel standing for England); behind her a Spaniard and a Frenchman despair at their loss. At top left, the Lord Mayor of London (probably intended for William Beckford) and a group of aldermen approach the king with a petition. At top right, a witch flies off on a broomstick over the "Flus Jordanus" to the "Alpes Herbronites" (the River Tweed and Scotland) carrying Henry Fox, two other ministers and the devil. One of the ministers wishes that "the Devil had the Author of Gisbal" (see BM Satires 3848) alluding to the role of the satirists in driving Bute to resign. Charles Churchill and John Wilkes fire at the broomstick, Wilkes wanting "One Pounce more and we will bring that Irish Owl to the Ground". In the foreground, on the right, Princess Augusta runs off carrying a diminutive Bute in a large boot on her back; she is chased by the Duke of Cumberland brandishing a sword and crying "Damn the Scotch Loon he flies faster than his Bretheren did in 45. If I come up with him I'll spoil his Running"; the young Duke of York runs with him. On the left, a group of sailors harrass a Scotsman declaring,"We will stand by our Noble Captain till not a Sawney be feft in the Land", "O O Jack see what this Dog has got to wet his Whistle with" and "Lend me your Sneaker [a rod] Tom I'll Probe him who knows but the Rascal has got his Belly full"; coins fall from the bagpipes clutched beneath the Scotsman's arm."--British Museum catalogue
