Abstract:: "A whole length figure running forwards. He is grinning; in his right hand he holds up a short shovel, in his left is a brush. His clothes are ragged; his toes appear through remnants of buckled shoes. He wears a laced hat, a cravat, and a ruffled shirt. In place of a wig is what appears to be a tightly-curled lamb's fleece resting on his shoulders; two pieces of crossed wood imitate a sword. A miniature figure in ragged clothes and a long thin queue faces him astride a tasselled cane. He is a chimney sweeper dressed for the first of May celebrations which were usual in London. The small figure may represent a child-apprentice or climbing boy, though there is nothing juvenile in its appearance."--British Museum online catalogue

Resource Type:: still image
Abstract:: The agitated George III, a trowel in his hand, watches Charles Fox, as a fox, with the "liberty" ribbon draped accross his back, leap over the "vanity pit" (William Pitt) in pursuit of a pack of hounds. In Fox's mouth is the judge's cloak that he pulled off the bewigged and snarling hound (Lord Thurlow). A column inscribed, "to Eastern tyranny," topples down upsetting the male figure of Injustice who holds a sword and a pair of scales. The fox urinates on one of the lanterns that symbolize conspiracy. Behind it, Boreas (Lord North) succeeds in blowing down the "Temple of secret influence" (Lord Temple).

Resource Type:: still image
Abstract:: "The King stands waist-deep in a broad-based Green Bag (see British Museum Satires No. 13735), holding up his arms, and exclaiming: "A Rat! A Rat! my Kingdom for a Rat!!!" Huge rats climb up the bag and nibble at it, others run towards it, or emerge from holes. Ministers are imprisoned in the bag with the King, and struggle to get out. Near the base (left) emerge the head and arms of Castlereagh; he says: "Knaw away my fine fellows and extricate me." Above him is Sidmouth, crying: "I wish I could find some hole large enough to creep out at." Eldon's head and hands emerge from three holes; he asks: "Was the Pillory ever made for me? will no Rat assist me? let me out to consider of it." Above him is Liverpool, saying: "We shall certainly be all smother'd in this Infernal Bag." The Devil is between Castlereagh and Eldon, shovel in hand; he says: "I can make a hole for myself to creep out at." Each rat has an inscription: 'Church' and 'Corruption' are on the bag, flanking the King. Other nibblers are 'Pension', 'Place', 'Sinacure' [sic], and 'Dr Slop' [Stoddart, i.e. the 'New Times']; near the last is the 'Courier', and behind (right) the 'Vice C--' [Leach]. John Bull and Mrs. Bull, a farmer and his wife, stand on the left and right; John holds the chain of his savage dog, still attached to its kennel but eager to get at the rats; he says: "Odzooks, I'll let my Dog loose and worry them all." Mrs. Bull points angrily, and shouts: "Destroy the Vermin John--let our Dog loose.""--British Museum online catalogue
