"Satire on Bute's alleged sale of public positions paralleled with Earl Talbot's introduction of economies into the royal household. An auction is taking place in a large kitchen where, in the centre, Talbot, Lord Steward of the Household, instructs the auctioneer's clerk at a table beneath the podium. On the left, three cooks, one a Frenchman planning to leave for Calais to work for "Monsr. Grandsire", are mocked by a Scot for not being able to make haggis; another cook brandishing a gridiron and two ladles stands in front of the fireplace in which stands only a cracked pot filled with thistles. On the right, a poor man plans to bid for "old rags or broken glass", and a stout middle-class woman plans to purchase a ladle to beat her husband, while Princess Augusta and Lord Bute converse intimately; the Princess points suggestively to a large pot resting with other utensils on the floor. In the background, a chaplain laments the lack both "of victuals and of grace"."--British Museum online catalogue

"A kitchen scene [with a satire based on the fable of the "catspaw"]. A monkey with Wood's head squats beside a plump cat with the head in profile of Queen Caroline. She sits gazing at the fire with an eagerly expectant smile. He puts his left hand on her shoulder and takes her right paw which is supported on his knee, looking fixedly at her with greedy expectation.

"John Bull sits full face holding a bowl of soup, between Addington, the cook, and the protesting Windham on the extreme right. On the left Pitt sits in profile to the left before an enormous kitchen fire, over which hangs a giant cauldron; he blows the fire with bellows, saying, 'I dont know how it is - but I manage this Soup business rather awkwardly - I suppose it is from being so much used to the stewing and Broiling line.' Addington, who wears the Speaker's wig with apron and over-sleeves, and holds a long ladle, says: 'Though I say it that made it - you never tasted better soup in your life'. Windham (right) stands in profile to the left his knees flexed, saying, 'O' Mr Bull - Mr Bull - if you have any regard for your Constitution - dont touch it - the Cayen of Jacobinism flavours every spoonful - and the Fire that boil it I consider as a Funeral Pile for all your well wishes - do Johnny take some of my Cheese-parings - they are very wholesome, and easy of Digestion.' John says, his eyes turned towards Addington, his spoon raised to his mouth: 'I don't mind what he says - my Hearty I say it's very good Soup - and a d------d deal better [word erased] than your Gin. I should like a little more bread for all that, and it would be quite as well - if it did not taste so strong of the Ceylon pepper.'"--British Museum online catalogue
