"John Bull, a much overburdened soldier, looks up in angry dismay at a helmet inscribed 'Glory' which Pitt (left) is about to place on his head. He says, "O D----n the Glory I shall never be able to bear it all!" Pitt stands in profile to the right; the large plumed helmet which he holds up in both hands is irradiated. From his pocket hangs a long paper headed 'List of Ships £5000000'. John Bull, short and stout, stands full face wearing a gorget, with two pistols in his belt, a long sabre suspended horizontally from his waist, its blade inscribed 'Twenty more Kill em!' He holds a blunderbuss in his right hand, which fires 'Pop Pop' into the air; a large pike in his left hand, a broadsword held in his left arm; a musket and a huge knapsack are slung on his back. In the foreground are ordnance stores: a barrel (left) inscribed 'Right Richmond double Proof' with cannon-balls, and (right) a cannon, cannon-balls, drum, and flag. In the background a fleet of ships sails from the shore on which stands a cheering crowd."--British Museum online catalogue

"An officer of the Gardes du Corps, wearing the cross of St. Louis, stands with a drawn sword before a door leading to a long room or gallery. Within stands Louis XVI holding the Dauphin by the hand, while Marie Antoinette takes his right arm. Above their heads is etched 'Save us from treatcherous Friends'. The officer says, "I find there's treachery - but I'll defend my King & Family to the last Drop of my blood". In his hat is a favour inscribed 'Vive le Rot'. Hiding behind an arched doorway (right) are two people dressed as women, wearing cloaks and hats; each clutches a dagger, and below the petticoat of the foremost, Orléans, protrudes a spurred boot. He says "Where shall we hide our selves - my Plot is marr'd." His companion, Mirabeau, who is on the extreme right, says, "Damnable fool thus to serve Your purpose & risk - a la Lanterne". They are identified in a contemporary hand as 'O-----ns' and 'M ... b .. u'. Orleans is a recognizable portrait. On the wall between the officer and the conspirators is a crucifix above a receptacle for holy-water."--British Museum catalogue
