"Satire in the form of a transparency on the Earl of Bute and his dominance of the king in contrast to the Duke of Cumberland's loyalty, with a reference to William Hogarth. A large tartan military tent decorated with an irradiated jack-boot from which a thistle emerges; fleurs-de-lis on the border of the roof. On the left, stands Cumberland, "Emblem of England" vowing to stop "this Scotch & French scheme"; on the right, stands the Duke of Nivernois, "Emblem of the state of France", trembling in fear of Cumberland. When held to the light figures within the tent (printed on a backing sheet) are revealed: Princess Augusta and Bute express their mutual affection while George III stands beneath a petticoat implying female rule."--British Museum online catalogue
