"Two figures, over life-size, on a low pedestal embrace; the King as Bacchus, nude except for a girdle of vine-leaves and grapes, and a wig decked with leaves; Lady Conyngham as Ariadne, a more classic figure, with drapery hanging from the hips. Against the pedestal leans a portfolio: Lady C------s Attitudes Suppressed. A connoisseur (right) gazes up through an eye-glass, saying, Bacchus was the God of Wine and good cheer, his 'favourite was Cxxxxxxm [lightly scored through] Ariadne, she was another mans Wife. Lord Conyngham (left), with antlers sprouting from his forehead, looks up at the statues; he says, Poh! Poh! this is never meant for Bacchus and Ariadne, It's more like my Wife and the * * * * or I'm no Cunning-sure I mean Connoisseur."--British Museum online catalogue

"John Bull (left), wearing a star centred by a heart: 'Queens Order of Knighthood', furiously kicks Italian witnesses from a quay into the sea, where (right) a boat waits to take them to a packet-boat. His bull-dog is about to bite, and he raises a massive bludgeon, kicking a lean grenadier with an empty sleeve, to whose back is tied a large green bag (see British Museum Satires No. 13735) inscribed 'Infernal Lies from Como' [cf. No. 13857]. On this capers a demon, holding a noose above the Italian's head, and in the left hand a little gibbet from which hangs a tiny effigy of the Grenadier with his bundle. The Italian holds a stiletto and wears a high cap with dangling bell on which are skull and cross-bones. J. B. shouts: "This is Freedom's own Land, 'tis the land of the Queen, Where no hired traducers shall ever be seen, Be off each vile Eunuch--be off high and low or I'll knock you to H--ll with an Englishmans blow!!" The Italian looks back to say: "If thus you pay Italian Spies I'll bring no more Infernal Lies" Another Italian wearing braided livery is knee-deep in the sea, he looks back angrily at John, holding dagger and pistol. A terrified foreigner, ragged but fashionable, leaps towards the water, exclaiming: "Diable!! Jean Anglaise [sic]." A woman with a bunch of keys, in full flight, pours the contents of a 'Pot de Chambre' over a grotesque lawyer (Leach), who is racing down steps to the water with a green bag of 'Lies from Milan'. She says: "Dis Pot contains mine Evidence--do taste it Signor Horse Leach, you vill find very strong proof of Guilt." Leach, looking over his shoulder, says: "This Business smells strong We have kept it too long" A sturdy sailor standing in a boat at the foot of the steps fends him off with a boat-hook, saying: "Shew me a clean bill of health signed Caroline or by G d you sha'nt come on board here."."--British Museum online catalogue

"Queen Caroline, stout and raddled, with black ringlets, stands full-face and four-square, bending forward as if bowing, with a fixed stare from black beady eyes. She wears the feathered hat (caricatured) of the 'trial', and a fur-bordered pelisse. Under her right arm is a rolled document, 'List of [Addresses'; in her left hand she awkwardly raises her skirts in order to bow. She stands on a grass plot in front of Brandenburgh House. Below the design: ... 'Lo! yonder she walketh in maiden sweetness, with innocence on her mind and modesty in her cheek.-- Her hand seeketh employment; her foot delighteth not in gadding abroad.-- She is cloathed with neatness; she is fed with temperance; humility and meekness are as a crown of glory circling her head.-- Her breast is the mansion of goodness; and therefere [sic] she suspecteth no evil in others.-- Decency is in all her words; in her answers are mildness and truth.-- Submission and obedience are the lessons of her life; and peace and happiness are her rewards.-- Before her steps walketh Prudence; and Virtue attendeth at her right hand. Her eye speaketh softness and love; but discretion with a sceptre sitteth on her brow.-- The tongue of the licentious is dumb in her presence; the awe of her virtue keepeth him silent.-- Happy Bartolomeo [Bergami]!!! he putteth his heart in her bosom, and receiveth Comfort.-- Thus the prudence of her management is an honor to her husband, and he must hear her praise with silent delight.--!!!'"--British Museum online catalogue
