"The Prince stands outside the gate of Carlton House as in BMSat 7167, but receives in a lordly manner two purses from two obsequiously bowing Treasury Secretaries (Rose and Steele). He is dressed as in BMSat 7167, but wears his coronet. Pitt, Sydney, and Dundas kneel in a grovelling manner behind the Prince, whose posteriors Pitt is about to kiss. Fox, North, Burke, and Sheridan stand behind, with gestures and expressions of pleased surprise. A tiny figure, the Duke of Richmond, is at work with a trowel on the replaced scaffolding (right), while Thurlow mounts a ladder carrying a hod. On the left a crowd of workmen wave their hats and tools in delight. In the foreground (left) sits a one-legged and one-armed sailor clasping a purse."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A strip design of a sequence of eighteen figures, all men. Their gestures and expressions denote pleasure, surprise, or horror (real or affected). Over the head of each person the words he speaks are engraved. The first (left) runs forward in profile to the right, 'chapeau bras', both arms extended, exclaiming "Tis true". The next, looking away gloomily, says, "Tis Pity". A man, with a pleased smile, says "As tender as possible". His neighbour says "Dont mention it", to a man who says "Poo, Poo". The next, clenching his fist, says angrily, "God Zounds hold - your Tongue", addressing a foppish man who capers delightedly, saying "Ha Ha". The next, with a shocked (but pleased) expression says "O La !" to a man who answers, "Dear me you dont say so?" A stout man yawns "Heigh ho". A lean one says "O Fye". The next couple, addressing each other, say "Indeed!" and "There now". The next, highly pleased, says "I thought so" to an angry man who exclaims "The Devil!" A lean austere man, raising a hand, says "No sure". A foppish man, 'chapeau bras', bowing with his hand on his heart, says, "Depend upon it". The last, horrified, exclaims "O Lord! O Lord!"."--British Museum online catalogue
