Lord Conyngham, well dressed in a top hat and holding a pair of gloves, walks in front of a fence and the open window of a building behind it; sheets of paper inscribed "List of the Contents in the House" are on the sidewalk at his feet. George IV -- with the body, beard, and horns of a goat -- prods him from behind with his horns. A larger lady and a black man are seen laughing in the window in the background; posted on the wall to the left of the window is an advertisement for a Theatre Royal performance of "the farce of Husbands and Wives in which will be introduced a concerto of Horn's."

"Cows and goats with distended udders are grouped outside a small thatched cottage (see British Museum Satires No. 13893). The King, wearing apron, over-sleeves, and top-boots, stands by a cow, an arm resting on her back, his pail at his feet, his stool behind him. Behind (right), a fat dairymaid, presumably Lady Conyngham, walks towards the cottage, her pail on her head. Three plump women watch from open casement windows."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
The Hospital of Bethlem [Bedlam] at Moorfields, London; seen from the north, with ladies and gentlemen walking in the foreground. This is the second building of Bethlem Hospital, dating from 1675-6, before the addition of the side pavilions. The engraver has taken liberties with the gate statuary, showing a lion and unicorn couchant rather than the figures by Cibber of melancholy madness and raving madness. In 1814-1815 the hospital removed to St. George's Fields, Southwark, and the Moorfields building was subsequently demolished

"The interior of a fruiterer's shop. Behind a counter sits a man (left) with long goat's horns and a goat's beard. He holds up his hand with an expression of dismay at a man who shows him a bust portrait of himself with horns and beard. The man, who wears a cockaded hat, is laughing. His arm is held by a man who stands behind him smiling and pointing a cane at the horned man, or 'Minogoat'. The latter's hand rests upon the counter on a sheaf of newspapers: 'Gazeter', 'London Spy', 'Morning Her[ald]', 'London Chronicle', 'London Gaz[ette]', A dwarfish newsboy stands in front of the counter blowing his horn, and offering him the 'Morning Post'. The boy is very bandy-legged; his cap is decorated with a leek, suggesting that it is St. David's day. On the ground (right) is a basket containing pottles of fruit which a goat is befouling. In what appears to be an inner room or recess (right) a table is laid with dishes of fruit, glasses, and an urn; four people are seated at it: a man and woman laughing and talking together in an absorbed way; a man who points out this couple to a companion. Wilkes (unmistakable from his squint) stands behind holding out his hat. Fruit hangs in the panes of the shop window which is immediately behind the Minogoat, who appears to be a Welsh shop-keeper.

"Two-part satire on the resignation of Lord Bute, April 1763. On the left is a scene of execution, headed "Excise", with Bute, identified by his plaid waistcoat, hanging from an apple tree (referring to the Cider Bill), a devil sitting on the branch above him wears a large boot (a pun on Bute) on one leg, the other ending in a claw; two men below exult. In the centre a man (evidently another representation of Bute as he wears a large boot on one leg and on the other leg wears a garter lettered "Honi ..." as in the scene on the right) lies across a fire while another pumps a pair of bellows to fan the flames; three farmers standing behind the fire and another to the right rejoice at Bute's downfall. On the right, another devil reciting the proverb, "Harm watch, Harm catch", one leg ending in a hammer, sits on top of a gallows from which hangs a fox (Henry Fox) wighted down by money bags tied around his neck. On the right is a scene set in a grand interior, headed "Resignation, in which Princess Augusta sprawls weeping in a chair her breasts partly exposed while a devil delves into Bute's breeches as he drags him through a door through which flames and smoke can be seen, the Duke of Cumberland brandishes a sword in his right hand and pushes Bute with his left; he is encouraged by a nephew, Edward, Duke of York, at lower right, a lusty goat, one of whose hands is a claw, looks on with pleasure."--British Museum online catalogue

"The Prince of Wales (left) leads a goat with the head of Mrs. Fitzherbert (right) to the door of the forecourt of a large town-house, held partly open by the Duchess of York. She says, "O Dunder & Wonder! - what Cratur is dat which you are bringing here ? - relation of mine, indeed? - no, no! - me know no Nanny-goat-Princess! - so set off, with your bargain, you poor - Toasted - Cheese! you! - for she sha'nt come in here, to poison the house! - off! - off! - off." The Prince, who wears in his hat a leek, with his motto, 'ich dien', answers, "Not open the Toor ? - Cot-splutter-a-nails - when Nanny is come to see you, herself? - vhy isn't Nanny a Princess too ? - & a Velch Princess? - and hur is come to visit hur Brothers & hur Sisters! - & not to let hur in? why the Voman is mad, sure!" In place of a star he wears a medallion enclosing a pair of goat's horns. He holds his goat by a ribbon wreathed with roses. Mrs. Fitzherbert has goat's horns and wears a coronet with the Prince's feathers; she looks up at him with an expression of dignified surprise. ... The door of the Duke's house is surmounted by a pediment decorated with the Prussian eagle and pairs of doves (an emblem on the Duchess's state-bed, 'Lond. Chronicle', 21 Dec. 1792)"--British Museum online catalogue
