"Pitt (left) fires his pistol into the air; Tierney (right) fires straight at Pitt, saying, "Missed him! by G . . " Each has a second pistol in his left hand. Pitt, in profile, says: "The only Explanation I give is this! There! - that's to shew you, that I bear no Personal Enmity! - but that no consideration of my own Safety, shall deter me from doing my duty to King & Country!!! - so Fire away!" His second, Dudley Ryder, stands behind (left) holding a sheathed sword; he adds: "no nor unsay any thing which we know to be true, neither." Tierney faces three-quarter to the left; in his belt, inscribed 'Egalité', are two daggers dripping blood; a tricolour cockade decorates his round hat. Behind him (right) and on a smaller scale than the other second is George Walpole, both fists clenched, a pair of large pistols under his left arm; he says: "Missed him? - O Lord! Its worse than ye Morroon business! O Lord! O Lord! - if he had but been popp'd off, how nicely we might have popp'd on, - O Lord! O lord." He wears a very large cocked hat and, unlike the others, is caricatured. (He is described as leaping over the furze-bushes for joy at seeing the duellists still erect. Rose, op. cit.) Behind Tierney is an empty gibbet inscribed 'Abershaw', placarded 'This Old Iron Shop to left'. On it sits a crow with the head of Burdett in profile to the left. The scene is a plateau of grass and sand, with St. Paul's and London spires in the distance. In the middle distance is a coach; a man holds the door open, watching the duel, as does a postilion on the (nearer) off horse. See BMSat 9218, &c."--British Museum online catalogue

"Fox as Phaeton falls head first from his chariot, smitten by thunderbolts issuing from the mouth of George III (left), whose head is surrounded by the rays of the sun. The chariot is drawn by three animals and by a winged dragon inscribed 'Ambition', from whose mouth issues a barbed fang and the words 'Aut Cæzar aut Nullus' (cf. BMSat 6380, &c). The animals are (1) 'Duplicity', with a wolf's head concealed by a mask with human features; it says: "Whats Duplicity, Why, Coalesing with the Man that 'deserved a Halter"" (North, see BMSat 6187, &c). (2) Patriotism, a similar beast holding in its mouth a staff supporting a cap of Liberty from which drop coins; it says: "Whats Patriotism? a Pension to oppose the Government" (cf. BMSat 8331, &c). (3) 'Whiggism' with two human profiles, one scowling, the other saying, with a cynical smile: "Whats Whiggism? why, that the Prince of Wales has a right to be regent without the consent of the People" (see BMSat 7381, &c). Behind the chariot stand three footmen with tags on their shoulders, who are being dislodged by the King's thunderbolts. They are the Duke of Norfolk, Erskine, and Sheridan. The thunderbolts are inscribed (four times) 'Maidstone Oaths' (see BMSat 9245, &c.) and 'Majesty of the People' (see BMSats 9168, 9205, &c). Below the clouds (right) and on a small scale is a view of the 'Shakespeare Tavern', on fire; members escape from a ground-floor window. Above, the interior of a room on the first floor is seen, a dinner of the Whig Club interrupted by the conflagration, the members fleeing in confusion. Among them is a stout parson, probably Dr. Parr."--British Museum online catalogue
