"A stout and burly woman stands at a street-door with a large basket of buns. A young woman and three children buy; the children help themselves, the woman holds a plate which she fills with buns. In the background (left) is a Georgian church with pediment and cupola; a fat parson in his surplice hurries along to escape from a woman and two children, who beg from him."--British Museum online catalogue

"Jones stands in the House of Commons, directed to the left, staring fixedly, right arm raised, snapping his fingers, left hand in the pocket of his long waistcoat, legs apart. He is corpulent, bald except for his queue, but with bushy whiskers. Behind him are three tiers of empty benches; his large round hat is on the bench beside him. His plain long coat with half-boots denotes the country gentleman. His speech is etched across the upper part of the design: 'Im an Independent Man, Sir, - & I don't care That! who hears me say so! - I dont like Wooden Shoes! no Sir, neither French Wooden Shoes, no nor English Wooden shoes, neither! - and as to the tall Gentleman over the way [Sheridan], I can tell him, that I'm no Pizarro! [see BMSat 9396, &c] - I'll not hold up the Devil's Tail to fish for a Place, or a Pension!! - I'm no skulker! - no, nor no Seceder neither! [see BMSat 9018, &c] I'll not keep out of the way, for fear of being told my own! - Here's my Place, & Here I ought to speak! - I warrant I'll not sneak into Taverns to drink humbug-Toasts that I am afraid to explain, not I! [see BMSats 9168, 9205, &c] - my motto is, "Independence & Old England" - and That! for all the rest of the World! there; That! - That! - That! - That! - That!'"--British Museum online catalogue

"John Bull (left) capers clumsily to a tune played by Pitt, Dundas, and two others. He has a drink-bloated profile, wears a round hat and old-fashioned buckled shoes. He says: "Lord love ye my good Masters - do give us something new - I be tired of all the old Jigs - I knows the March to Paris by heart, - and as for Indemnity for the Past, and Security for the future, they are as easy to me as my A-B-C - I want something stilish, and grand." Pitt, seated, plays a large 'cello incorrectly drawn and having a rose under the strings which suggests the viol da gamba. He looks up at John Bull jauntily, saying, "I will endeavour to please you if I can, what do you think of this - it is a grand serious-movement called the Deliverance of Europe or Union with Ireland". Dundas (right), wearing kilt and feathered bonnet with legal wig and bands, stands in profile to the left, impassively playing the bagpipes. Two background figures dejectedly play wind-instruments; one is probably Grenville."--British Museum online catalogue

A fat elderly citizen, solidly seated, is beset by two pretty young women who offer him fruit. His wife (left) says "You must have some apricots my love." The woman on his right adds, "Just taste these grapes brother in law you never eat finer." He shouts up with angry suspicion to the latter, "Won't eat anything more I tell you. I shall be choaked. Got an eye to the estate I suppose."
