A minister, possibly the Chancellor, holds out a large magnifying glass in his right and and gestures with his left hand. He is wearing a long coat and a long powdered wig. He addresses John Bull: Look through this glass Mr Bull and behold your future prosperity, looking towards a cloud within which the future is foretold. In the cloud John Bull is depicted in seven different scenarios: drinking unadulterated porter, free from taxes, smoking Trinidad tobacco, talking French & grown quite a fine gentleman, eating cinnamon from Ceylon, free from care, and with bread at 6d the quarter loaf. John Bull says: 'what be all those people I see. Mercy on us so many good things will be more than I can bear'. His companion replies: 'Look through this glass Mr. Bull & behold your future prosperity, it magnifies but very little I assure you'.

"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

"A buxom lady walks forward and to the right towards a man in riding-dress (right) who inspects her through a quizzing-glass. A ribbon encircles her high waist (cf. BMSat 8571, &c.) and her petticoats projecting in front exaggerate her portly figure. She carries a large muff and holds a glove in her left hand. Behind her a small footman holding a large closed umbrella marches stiffly. In the background is a tree, under which is a seat in back view, on which a man and woman are sitting."--British Museum online catalogue

"Two elderly men, in old-fashioned dress, play chess, seated at a small table, lit by two guttering candles. One moves, the other watches with intense concern. Each has a deeply interested spectator leaning on the back of his chair, the one on the right with a quizzing glass. All four are caricatured. A small dog lies on the ground. A large fire burns in the grate (right). Over the chimney-piece is the lower part of a whole length portrait. On the wall behind the players are three pictures: one of a man playing ninepins outside a rustic inn, with a donkey looking over a paling, is flanked by a picture of a horse and by a landscape."--British Museum online catalogue
