"Two pugilists, stripped to the waist, face each other with raised fists, each with his second behind him. The bottle-holders sit on the ground (left and right) just inside the ring, which is formed by the front row of seated spectators. A dense (masculine) crowd seated in tiers surrounds the ring, backed by coaches on which stand women as well as men. Below the title: 'The Concourse of people exceeded any thing we have ever wit-nessed. The Spectators were computed at Ten Thousand. At one O'Clock the Champions entered the ring, and Sam had for his second Harry Lee, whilst Joe Ward officiated for Medley, after a severe and bloody contest of 49 Rounds Victory was decided in favour of Sam'."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

Sir Francis Burdett, holding copies of the Magna Carta and the Bill of Rights, is arrested by the Speaker of the House of Commons (who calls Britannia a 'blank eyed b-h'). Britannia stands, hands clasped in supplication, her lion by her side. Burdett argued in the House of Commons against the imprisonment of the radical John Gale Jones. Failing to have Jones released, Burdett issued a revised edition of his speech in the Weekly Register, an action which the House voted a breach of privilege. The Speaker issued a warrant for Burdett's arrest and he was taken by soldiers from the Commons to the Tower of London, where he remained until the next Parliamentary recess
