At the top of a ladder placed against the House of Commons and inscribed, "back stairs," stands a female figure of Folly in a fool's cap, with a flag signed "aristocracy." Below her, a man attempts to pull down a stone from the frieze with a grappling hook. Behind him, a smiling Pitt with one foot on a rung, "new mi[nister]," encourages his supporters to follow. Next climbs Lord Temple carrying a conspirator's lantern and a flag, "omnipot[ent] anarc[hy]." Under the ladder, others demolish the wall. On the left, Lord North and Charles Fox try to support the loosened "SPQB" frieze with a beam inscribed, "constitutional advice." An indignant-looking female figure of Wisdom advises Pitt and his followers to reconsider their action."

"Satire on Lord Bute and his political patronage. A view of a large garden with a tree at its centre at the top of which sits Bute holding two baskets of "golden pippins"; a devil with two serpentine legs sits on a low branch to right, excreting gold coins into the arms of a man with a fox's head (Henry Fox); to left, Princess Augusta climbs a ladder resting against the tree and reaches out to take an apple from the French ambassador, the duc de Nivernois, who sits beside the devil. Cumberland, wielding a large axe, is in the process of chopping down the tree saying "I'll cut you up root and branch". A group of Scots stand behind the tree waiting for fruits to fall, another stoops at the foot of the ladder to pick up an apple and glance up the princess's skirts; two prosperous gentlemen stand to the side holding baskets of fruit. A winged figure of Father Time flies towards the tree from the left while, on the right, a be-wigged devil (Mansfield) flies away squirting liquid from a clyster at a Charles Churchill who sits on the garden wall waving a stick; Temple and Newcastle climb over the wall into the garden and Pitt holding a flaming sword leaps down to attack a group of Scots. On the left of the scene, a cock standing on a dunghill is approached by a monkey (the Duke of Bedford, ambassador to Paris) carrying a paper lettered, "Articles of Agreement between John Bull & Lewis Gallus". Beyond, two further Scots carry off a bulging sack and the Union Flag. In the foreground, to left, is a barking British mastiff, and to right a sorrowful lion sits in shadow."--British Museum online catalogue

"A complicated and fantastic design. The title implies the annual election of East India directors on the second Wednesday in April (11 Apr. in 1827). The Directors, twenty with portrait heads, with one or two shadowy heads behind, have wolves' paws, and wear, below their shoulders, sheeps' fleeces inscribed Golden Fleece or Fleece. In the middle sit the Chairman and Deputy Chairman, two profiles joined Janus-like. One (Lindsay, the Deputy), in profile to the left, says: Adsum qui feci in me convertite ferrum [sic]. The other (Sir G. Robinson, the Chairman), says: Nostrum sex sumus, discedentes lucemus et aucto splendore resurgemus [he is one of the six retiring Directors, to be re-elected after a year]. Before him are a book, Stamp Office Ledger. This could a tale unfold; a print of a man carrying a globe on his back (he was Chairman of the Globe Insurance Office), and papers: Joint Stock Companies and Morning Paper. In another presidential chair (right), at right angles to the Directors, sits a fierce-looking man with bull's horns holding a scourge inscribed The Board of Controul [showing he is Wynn, President of the Board]; he says: These wolves in sheeps cloathing must not take all the prey, give us John Bulls share. Facing him from the extreme left is a man at a slightly lower desk, who says: We care not a jot for the court of Proprietors. In the foreground are the Proprietors, grouped in three categories of animals. A pack of large dogs, 'the requisitionary pack', with human (portrait) heads, runs forward from the right, where there are circular tiers of benches (as used by the Proprietors on Court Days). The foremost is Cato, saying, Chairman you are all out of order, as to your lawyers I put them all at defiance. At his feet are papers: He gave him a Roland for his Oliver; A free Press, and Universal Knowledge. Next is Cæsar, saying, We are allowed in Parliament to ask questions Nemo nos impune lassessit [sic]. Argus [? Hume], with National reform in Church and State at his feet, asks: I am my own dog whose are you?. Cerberus answers: I am the House Dog but to your pack Adieu [perhaps James Rivett Carnac, Director-elect in place of Bosanquet]. Jason [? Capt. W. Maxfield], leaping over a paper inscribed The Bombay Marines Lamentations over their unmerited sufferings, says: I care not a fig for your majorities while truth, reason, and justice are on my side. Mad Tom says: One gymnastic leap would place me within the bar before you could say Jack Robinson. The last dog, P. Pry [see BM Satires 15138], its head obscured, barks at Wynn: Bow, Wow wow! Two other dogs with human heads are indicated, and there are also an obscure couple of normal dogs, saying, Pointers have good noses & capital eyes for fat bones. ..."--British Museum online catalogue
