Title etched below image., Measurements from copy in British Museum., Identification of those depicted from British Museum., Description from British Museum: "John Bull, a carter, tips the contents of a rough two-wheeled cart, 'John Bull's Rubbish Cart', into a circular pit. The contents are the Opposition: Fox (three-quarter length), the largest figure, is sliding in; he clutches the long forelock of Burdett, who with Tierney is just behind him, and still in the cart. He looks despairingly at Pitt, who stands (right) in profile to the left, in surplice and bands, and pointing down the pit. Pitt reads from his open book: 'With a sincere hope that none of you will ever rise again, I commit you all to the Pit-hole!' Sheridan is about to fall in head first. Behind, and towering above Burdett and Tierney (who are comparatively self-controlled), is Erskine in wig and gown, holding a 'Brief', his arms raised in terrified supplication. On his left is the profile of Bedford (right) wearing a jockey-cap. The large head of the tiny Lord Derby is in the back left corner of the cart. Two small feet are disappearing into the pit, perhaps belonging to M. A. Taylor. The carter, raising the back of the cart, says: "Good bye to you, my Masters, Parson Billy will soon settle the business". His horse, unharnessed, stands with its head behind the cart.", This electronic record is derived from historic data and may not reflect our current information. Review and updating of records is ongoing., and In ink on the print, the identities are 1....Derby 2. Erskine 3...Burdett 4. Grey 5. Hose 6. Sheridan 7. Pitt.

"A strip design. Beneath the figures are inscriptions indicating their identity. The procession is preceded on the extreme right by Hall the apothecary, one of Fox's chief supporters in Westminster, who holds the abortive 'Regency Bill'. A medical instrument protrudes from his coat-pocket; he is 'Apozem, Clerk, & Apothecary'. ... After him in priest's robes and wearing a Jesuit's biretta walks Burke, 'Ignatius Loyola' (cf. BMSat 6026), holding an 'Ode upon his Majesty Recovery'. ... The coffin is carried on the shoulders of six men with bulls' heads, hoofs, and tails, wearing coronets and shedding tears; three only are depicted, though the hoofs of the three on the left side of the coffin are indicated; it is 'The Body of the deceased supported by six Irish Bulls'. They wear a duke's, an earl's, and a baron's coronet, and say: "[1] Pullalaloo - Pullalalo - oh.', [2] Oh! - Ogh! - Oh!; [3] Oh Pullalalo - ogh". On the coffin is a coronet with the Prince's feathers flanked by an empty purse and dice and dice-box. Four ragged little girls holding nosegays walk as pall-bearers, two before the coffin and two behind it. They are '(bis) Unfledg'd Noviciates of Sf Giles's or, Charley's delight'. ... They are followed by Mrs. Fitzherbert in long trailing weeds, a rosary and crucifix hanging from her waist. She is 'Chief Mourner - The Princess of W-----s'. ... She clasps her hands despairingly. ... She is followed by Sheridan and Fox, wearing cloaks and carrying hats with mourning-scarves; they are: 'Second Mourners', 'The Rival Jacobites'. ... The next couple are Weltje and a hairdresser, Mails. ... The procession is followed by a nude and very emaciated demon (left), playing the fiddle and capering as he sings, grinning. He is the 'Blue and Buff Train Bearer.' ..."--British Museum online catalogue

George III, shown as a lion holding a sceptre and seated under a canopy, receives a deputation of ganders led by a fox (Charles Fox) and a muzzled bear (Lord North). The first of the ganders reads a petition requesting the dismissal of the elephant (William Pitt) who stands to the lion's left. On the right side of the throne, a bull (John Bull) with its head lowered, appears ready to attack the deputation. The text of "The ganders address" is etched below the image, together with the text of "The lion's answer" in which the King rejects the petition

"The Duke of Bedford, a stalwart, handsome and smiling farmer, strides (left to right) across a newly ploughed field, scattering guineas from a pouch slung to his shoulder; on his back is a large sack inscribed '£'. As he sows the tips of bonnets-rouges and daggers sprout up; behind him (left) they progressively emerge more completely, and appear as little Jacobins, a raised dagger in each hand, crowding in close ranks towards the horizon, where they hail (or are smitten by) thunderbolts which dart from clouds in the upper left corner of the design and explode on reaching the ground. The soil is prepared by Fox, Sheridan, and Lauderdale: Fox's smiling face is the centre of a sun which issues from clouds and shines on Bedford. A bull (John Bull) is harnessed to a plough which is guided by Sheridan wearing a bonnet-rouge. Lauderdale (bare-headed) raises a whip to flog the weary bull."--British Museum online catalogue

The disproportionately large heads in wigs of, from left, Lord North, Charles Fox, and Edmund Burke, are displayed on top of Temple Bar. The arch contains reversed and burlesqued royal arms. In three niches below the arch stand headless statues of, from left, North as Avarice, Fox, shown as a fox, as Ambition, and Burke as Hypocrisy. The declaration signed by 'Justice' and pasted to the gate in the archway explains the reasons for elevating the three Whigs so highly, in a manner reminiscent of the execution of the Jacobite leaders in 1746. On the left are pasted two playbills. The upper one refers to the King's candidates in the Westminster election, the lower one to Fox as Cromwell, North as Boreas, and Burke as St. Omer, a 7th-century bishop who became blind in his old age. On the opposite side of the archway, an advertisement by 'Dr. Ax' is followed by a plea for votes from Cerberus whose three heads are named after North, Burke, and Fox

"Pitt is suspended by the neck from an irregular cross-bar formed of a label across the design containing the words 'May our heaven born minister be Supported from Above'. These words ascend from the mouths of Sheridan, crouching furtively, and Fox, standing, on the extreme left and right of the design. Both wear bonnets-rouges with tricolour cockades and have a conspiratorial air. Pitt's arms and legs are extended like those of a puppet; his head is turned in profile to the left, a cap is drawn over his eyes."--British Museum online catalogue

Three oval designs, two above with a larger one below, illustrating three satirical toasts: Honor and honesty; Love and loyalty; Fitz and good company. In the first, a man sits at a table, in his hand is a cup for rolling dice and on the table some coins and a playing card (the knave of clubs). In the second image (upper right) a man, pen in hand, writes a letter "No. 45 To the ...", on the table a book entitled "Essay on woman". In the image at the bottom, a couple (George IV and Mrs. Fitzherbert) embrace; on the table in front of the pair is a book "Morris's songs."

"Britannia (left) grovels before a monster (right) representing the French Republic. Behind her stand Fox, Sheridan, and Stanhope, as sansculottes, joyfully hailing the apparition. Britannia on her knees, and bending forward, holds out her arms in a gesture of abject submission, pointing to her shield and spear, the crown and sceptre, and 'Magna Charta' which lie on the ground before her. She is on the edge of a cliff. The monster is supported on dark clouds; he is a man seated with arms and legs akimbo, one jack-boot is planted on the sun, a face in its disk looking from the corners of the eyes at Britannia with a dismayed expression; the other is on a crescent enclosing the old moon. His seat is the point of a huge bomb-shaped cap of 'Li-ber-tas'. His head is a black cloud on which grotesquely fierce features are indicated. Above his head rises a guillotine emitting rays of light. His dress is that of a ragged sansculotte with a dagger thrust in his belt. The British sansculottes are also bare-legged and wear belts in which a dagger is thrust; but they have nothing of the fierce arrogance of France. Fox, his stockings ungartered, and Sheridan, shambling forward with propitiatory gestures, remove their bonnets-rouges. Fox holds out two large keys labelled 'Keys of the Bank of England'; Sheridan proffers a document: 'We Promise the Surrender of the Navy of Great Brita[in] - of Corsica [see BMSat 8516] - of the East & West Indias [see BMSat 8599] - & to abolish the Worship of a God' [cf. BMSat 8350]. Stanhope, less deprecating, stands behind the others, waving his bonnet-rouge and a rolled document inscribed 'Destruction of Parliament'."--British Museum online catalogue
