A montage of images with the portrait of the Duke of Cumberland in the center. The theme is the defeat of the Young Pretender at the Battle of Culloden. In the upper left corner is an image of a broadside ballad, 'A Loyal Song', sung by Mr. Beard at the Theatre Royal in Covent Garden. Over it is superimposed a playing card of Jack of clubs in Scottish dress looking wistfully towards the Duke. Below, partially under the Duke's portait is an image of the Devil drawing the Scots caught in his net towards a hill on top of which stands the 'triple tree', i.e., the gallows, decorated with a royal crown at each corner. Beneath this image is another, showing the British cavalry, well equipped and healthy, pursuing the Scots on bony horses. Partially covering that image, at the bottom of the plate, is a smaller, allegorical representation of Britannia and Liberty pointing to a beehive and a temple of Concord. The last image, in top right of plate, shows the British army marching in a parade. Eight lines of verse, enclosed in a vignette, below the medley, begin as follows: Britons, behold the Royal Youth, 'tis he who fights your battles , sets your country free ...
