"Three busts on pedestals under two pictures: Fox, very lifelike, without inscription, between 'Demosthenes against Æschines' (left) and 'Cicero against Cataline' (right), both of whom look straight before them, frowning severely, as if outraged at their new companion. Above Demosthenes is 'Justice': a picture of Catherine II, raising a dagger to stab to the heart the Sultan, who lies on his back, his sabre and a bag of '16000000 Roubles' beside him. On the right is 'Moderation': the Empress in back view stands facing a wall-map of 'Moldavia Bessarabia Wallachia' over which she stretches her stout arms with widespread greedy fingers. Between the pictures and above Fox is a circle surmounted by an imperial crown and inscribed 'Conjugal Love A Cure for the Haemerroidical Cholic'. It encloses a noose of rope, and another rightope is looped round the exterior of the circle, indicating Catherine's complicity in the murder of her husband Peter III (cf. BMSat 8124). ..."--British Museum online catalogue

One of many satires on the morganatic marriage of George IV and Mrs. Fitzherbert. on the left Mrs. Fitzherbert as Dido sits on a funeral pyre made up of phallic-shaped logs and watches the Prince of Wales sail away in a small boat whose flag is inscribed with the word 'Windsor' [Castle]. The wind which fills the ragged sail of the boat appears to be produced by a blast from the mouths of Dundas and Pitt, whose profile heads are on the extreme left. It is directed at Dido's head, and has blown off a royal crown, an orb and sceptre, and a coronet decorated with the Prince of Wales's feathers. With a tragic gesture she holds out in her right hand a mutilated crucifix. Her breast is bare and her girdle of 'Chastity' is broken. At her feet lie emblems of Popery: a sharp-toothed harrow inscribed 'For the conversion of Heretics', shackles, a pair of birch-rods, an axe, a scourge, and a rosary and crucifix. The pyre seems to be made of money-bags. The boat is the 'Honor'; the Prince is seated between Fox, who holds the tiller, and Burke, who holds the sail; his arms are folded and he looks over his shoulder at Fox, saying, "I never saw her in my Life". Fox echoes "No, never in all his Life, Damme"; Burke, wearing a Jesuit's biretta, says "Never", and North, who sits beside him, apparently asleep, says "No, never". After the title is engraved: 'Sic transit gloria Reginae' (pardoy of "Sic transit gloria mundi"). See British Museum online catalogue
