He wears counsellor's wig and gown, and bands. Above his head is a cap of Liberty with tricolour cockade. There is a background of low clouds

"The Colossus, emblem of French revolutionary bloodshed and aggression (and perhaps intended for Bonaparte), strides from Egypt (right), where the left foot rests on Pyramids, to 'France', where the right foot tramples on the 'Holy Bible' and a cross. Beneath the Bible lie the dismantled scales of justice. Above, an arm and the shield of Britannia emerge from dark clouds; in the hand is a sheaf of thunderbolts which smites the Colossus, striking off its head, a skull in which serpents twine; from this drops a bonnet-rouge in the form of a fool's cap. The arms and legs of the Colossus have also been broken, so that the figure is on the point of collapse. The severed right hand rests on a guillotine, inscribed 'Fraternité'. The decollated head of Louis XVI [see BMSat 8297, &c] hangs by the hair from the figure's neck. From the left hand drops an open book: 'Religion de la Nature [cf. BMSats 8350, 9240] Injustice Oppression Murder Destruction'. The figure wears only a tricolour sash and belt in which are a pistol and a bloody dagger. Its hands and feet are dyed with blood above the wrists and ankles. Tricolour flags inscribed with names decorate the landscape, showing the extent of French depredations: 'Malta' in the channel immediately under the Colossus; 'Spain' (left) behind 'France'; 'Holland', with windmills; 'Switzerland' backed by rocky mountains; 'Rome' with the dome of St. Peter's. ..."--British Museum online catalogue

"Bust portraits of seven leaders of the Opposition, each with his almost identical double, arranged in two rows, with numbers referring to notes below the title. The first pair are Fox, directed slightly to the left, and Satan, a snake round his neck, his agonized scowl a slight exaggeration of Fox's expression; behind them are flames. They are 'I. The Patron of Liberty, Doublûre, the Arch-Fiend' (cf. BMSats 6383, 9263, &c). Next is Sheridan, with bloated face, and staring intently with an expression of sly greed; his double clasps a money-bag: 'II. A Friend to his Country, Doubr Judas selling his Master'. The Duke of Norfolk, looking to the right, scarcely caricatured, but older than in contemporary prints. His double, older still, crowned with vines, holds a brimming glass to his lips, which drip with wine: 'III. Character of High Birth, Doubr Silenus debauching' (cf. BMSat 8159). (Below) Tierney, directed to the right, but looking sideways to the left: 'IV. A Finish'd Patriot, Doubr The lowest Spirit of Hell.' Burdett, in profile to the right, with his characteristic shock of forward-falling hair, trace of whisker, and high neck-cloth, has a raffish-looking double with similar but unkempt hair: 'V. Arbiter Elegantiarum, Doubr Sixteen-string Jack' [a noted highwayman]. Lord Derby, caricatured, in profil perdu, very like his simian double, who wears a bonnet-rouge terminating in the bell of a fool's cap: 'VI. Strong Sense, Doubr A Baboon.' The Duke of Bedford, not caricatured, and wearing a top-hat, has a double wearing a jockey cap and striped coat (see BMSat 9380): 'VII. A Pillar of the State, Doubr A Newmarket Jockey'."--British Museum online catalogue
