"From the stage of a theatre, two figures address the audience: Charles Fox (left) with a fox's head, holds under his left arm a tray in which are two doll-like infants in swaddling bands; in his right hand is a paper inscribed, "Norton & Fox Sponsors". He is saying: "Discovered by the Secret Committee". In the centre is another man with a wide open mouth, whose head is perhaps intended for that of a dolphin. He holds a paper inscribed "The Child of the People". On the right. of the stage is part of a fountain supported by a satyr. On each side of the stage are two tiers of boxes; in the lower box on the right. Punch is talking to a lady."--British Museum online catalogue

Satire on the conflict between artists campaigning for a public academy and those who were opposed. William Hogarth (A), shown as the leader of the latter group, rides a peacock. He is followed by (B) probably intended for the journalist Bonnell Thornton, dressed as Mercury, holding a paper lettered "Sr by G[o]d they laugh at us", and (C) Thomas Burgess, a young artist "who etch'd the Club of Artists" [BM Satires 3278]; (D) consists of a group of young followers sheltering behind the peacock's tail. Opposite them stands another group, a "New Club", led by (E) the "Chairman" holding a gavel, probably Francis Hayman, and (F) an older man holding a candle described as a "comic Poet study'd Painter and Chapman". Behind them stand (G), "a Swiss Operator", (H) "a great Projector", (I) "Toast Master General" and others only partly visible; those at the back of this group have peacock feathers in their hats. On the ground between the groups sits (T) "a late Author & Publisher of Scandal". To the right, a child (U) holding a lantern has climbed a tree in search of "Impartiality". Above flies Fame (W) "inspiring the Heros". A zodiacal arc on the left includes a pair of clasped hands (a symbol for mutual trust) lettered "Unknown"."--British Museum online catalogue

"The Queen, crowned, in royal robes and with a sceptre in her left hand, sits regally in the Coronation Chair. Justice, blindfolded and menacing, stands at her right hand; Truth, irradiated and holding up her mirror so that its rays illuminate the Queen, is on her left hand. A stone slab supporting the throne rests on eight hydra-heads with serpents' masks. The centre head is that of Eldon, with two other judges, one with a leech on the cheek indicating Leach (see British Museum Satires No. 13740). Castlereagh, very Mephistophelian, is on the extreme left, Sidmouth and Liverpool on the right; there are two unidentified heads, one presumably Harrowby. Round Queen, chair, &c. are clouds. In the upper left corner, two demons, spitting and excreting thunderbolts, carry off the King 'To Hanover'."--British Museum online catalogue

"A yokel puts his head through a trap-door (left), holding up a lantern and pitchfork. He gapes in horror at the sight before him. Two witches (right) sit over a fire burning in a bowl; one holding a broom gazes grimly towards the creatures they have called up: two bodies, one old, the other young, both winged, one having wings of flame, terminate together in the crouching hind-legs of a beast of prey; with these are the head and neck of a monstrous bird. Two grotesque goblins emerge from clouds (left), and a serpent hisses at the women."--British Museum online catalogue
