Abstract:
"Three soldiers stand at attention outside a tent (right) holding bayoneted muskets. Two wear high plumed busbies, the third a laced three-cornered hat. The officer facing them (left), holding a musket without a bayonet against his shoulder, gives the word of command. A stout man and a fat woman stand behind him. In the foreground (right) a drummer boy, sitting on the ground, one arm resting on his drum, puts a plumed busby on the head of a dog. Two rough-looking men wearing ribbon favours in their hats, probably intended for Gordon Rioters, point jeeringly at the three soldiers. In the background are trees."--British Museum online catalogue

A mock coat of arms, perhaps for George IV, that possibly served as the tailpiece or other illustration to a verse-satire on the trial of Queen Caroline. The shield is vase-shaped and includes a mug of beer at center, tents and cannons on either side of the mug, a settee below the mug, three ships at top, scales of justice with "vice" outweighing "virtue" below the ships, and a ram at bottom. Surmounting the shield is a donkey with a owl on its back, the owl wearing a tall conical hat; the donkey stands upon a "log", a volume with "bill" on its spine, a chess board, playing cards, sheets of paper labeled "address", and a cross above which "liturgy petition" is written. Plants are seen on either side of shield; below the shield are banners in which the Latin phrases "furiis in censa feror" and "vir tutis sub umbra viti um" are written
