Abstract:
"The Prince of Wales and his adherents are travestied as negroes; the Prince stands in a doorway inscribed 'Brookes Rectifier of Spirits', which is represented as a debtor's prison: the heads of George Hanger and Burke are seen through a barred window on the left outside which hangs a basket inscribed 'Pray Remember us Poor Blacks'. Both are naked, except for Hanger's accustomed cocked hat (cf. BMSat 6924), and Burke's biretta (cf. BMSat 6026). The Prince wears a girdle of leaves, a helmet feathered like the head-dress of a Red Indian, but decorated with the triple ostrich plume, and his ribbon and star. He holds out his hands in consternation at the approach of Fox and North (as a woman), their arms interlaced, their faces contorted with grief (cf. BMSat 6193, &c). Fox's hat is inscribed 'Carlo Crusoe'; on his breast is a placard: 'We were unfortunately cast away in the British Channel on board the Portland East Indiaman' (an allusion to the defeat of the Coalition on Fox's India Bill, and probably an imitation of the placards of begging seamen). Their scanty garments are ragged; from North's Garter ribbon hangs a placard: 'Ruined by the American War'. Behind them is another couple with arms interlaced: Lord George Gordon (not a negro) with a black man who carries a primitive stringed instrument, his cap inscribed 'Man Friday'. He is perhaps intended for Sheridan. Gordon flourishes a paper inscribed 'Defence of the Blacks by Lo[rd] G------G------' and says "By all the glories of mischief they have no right to send us to Africa". At the end of the procession Thurlow with a raised stick chases a negro wearing a cap inscribed 'Purveyor', who resembles Weltje, except that he is short and fat, and says, with clasped hands, "O! Oh! - bless your heart Massa Beetle-brow - if you no lick apoor neger man he'll pimp for you.""--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A fox, wearing a coat, hangs in profile to the right from a very high gibbet. His large brush is inscribed 'Hereditary Right' (cf. British Museum Satires 7381); he is excreting, the ordure being inscribed 'Run my Mead'. Above the gibbet is a scroll: 'The Man of the People High in Office'. Three women caper delightedly round the foot of the gallows: Justice (with the head of Thurlow) (left), with her scales evenly balanced, but with her bandage pushed up so that she can see, and holding her sword against her shoulder, its blade inscribed 'Household' continued; she sings, "Let's joyful Dance and merry Sing". Britannia (right) sings "for Ch--l--y [Fox] is quite the thing"; her shield is inscribed 'No Peers No Pensions', an allusion to the Regency Restrictions. Her profile appears to be intended for that of Pitt. Liberty, with the head of Wilkes, squinting violently, who is between the other two, cries "Huzza". The cap of Liberty (on its staff) is inscribed with the City arms and the motto 'Address', in reference to the City address of thanks to Pitt and the Ministry for maintaining the right of Parliament in the establishment of a regency."--British Museum online catalogue

"A stage-coach is driven (left to right) uphill at a gallop, the horses having human heads as in BMSat 7323. The arm of a signpost on the extreme left points 'To the Temple of Honor'. Thurlow drives, lashing furiously. George III, in profile to the right, is seated in the boot at the back of the coach holding a musket with a fixed bayonet. The Queen sits on the roof as an outside passenger, dressed as an old market-woman ; she holds a basket of 'Golden Eggs' on her knee, and another basket at her side in which is a goose which hisses at the King. Within the coach Hastings (left) and Mrs. Hastings (right) sit facing each other; he is in oriental dress; she wears a jewelled turban with a crown, and her neck is covered with jewels. The coach is 'Licens'd by Royal Authority'; on its panel are the royal arms. On the box under Thurlow's legs are a star and ribbon, a coronet, and feathers. The leaders have the faces of Pitt1 and Sydney, the wheelers are Dundas and Pepper Arden. The horses are galloping uphill and the sky is clear, contrasting with the scene in BMSat 7323."--British Museum online catalogue
