"Satire on the partiality of the king and of Newcastle's ministry for Hanover at the expense of Britain. The orchards of England have been stripped and boats loaded with apples are being rowed across the channel to Hanover where the king and his ministers are tending a single crab apple tree. In the foreground the horse of Hanover, now well-fed thanks to British support, produces "fine manure for the Crab Tree", in the form of coins, caught in his mitre by a bishop. In the distance, Bubb Doddington buries Britannia beside a church on which the weather vane is the Hanoverian horse to the delight of a passing French ship."--British Museum online catalogue

"A broadside satirising Robert Walpole with an etching in two parts. In the left-hand scene Frederick, Prince of Wales, stands with the Duke of Argyll and other gentlemen, pointing to the left where George II embraces Britannia. In the foreground, the grotesque figure of Walpole, wearing a coronet, kneels holding in five hands, bags of French and Spanish gold and another lettered, "I am Lord Corruption". Behind him stands his daughter, Lady Mary, toying with a coronet. On the ground beside Walpole, the French cock perches on the back of the exhausted Imperial Eagle, but the British lion watching the conflict growls, "Now I'm rousing". In the background, the white horse of Hanover kicks a man off a high rock; the man cries, "I'm lost"; a ship lies at anchor off Cartagena observed from another high rock to right by Admiral Vernon whose impetus towards the city is restrained by General Wentworth; below these two men sits Admiral Haddock chained to a rock (a reference to the limitation of his resources in dealing with the combined Spanish and French Mediterranean fleets). In the right-hand scene Walpole raises his hands in horror at the appearance in a cloud of smoke of the ghost of Eustace Budgell who holds out a paper described in the verses to left as a "black Account ...Full twenty Winters of Misdeeds"; on the table at which Walpole is sitting is a large candlestick and letters addressed "A son Eminence" (Cardinal Fleury) and "à don [Sebastian] de la Quadra" and a book on "The Art of Bribery". Budgell's ghost raises his hand above his head to point at a scene of a beheading in the background above which flies Time while Justice sits on a column beside the scaffold and a crowd cheers below; over a doorway to right is a portrait of a Cardinal, presumably intended for Wolsey who is mentioned in the verses on the right. Engraved title and dedication to the Prince of Wales on a cloth above the scene supported by two putti; verses in two columns on either side condemning Walpole for his maladministration and celebrating the new prominence of the Prince of Wales and his followers; lines of music in two columns below the etching."--British Museum online catalogue and Also depicted the White Horse of the Hanover, British lion emblem, and

"Satire on Robert Walpole, showing the grounds for the Motion to remove him from office. In the foreground an extravagantly dressed young woman, representing bribery and corruption, distributes lucrative offices to the clergy, judges, army officers and members of parliament all of whom wear yokes about their necks and profess their loyalty to her and to Walpole's policies including, in the case of the politicians, a general Excise. At her feet is a pile of money bags, coronets, orb and sceptre, bank bills and pensions. In the background Walpole rides on a wagon in the form of a large money chest labelled "for the word "king" has been added here in a later hand] /For Secret Services /For [th]e Projector / for Friends and Assistants"; its wheels are labelled "Expence of Law &c./Penal Laws/G[i]n A[c]t/Debts/Civel List/Taxes" crush men representing "Manufactures/Trade/Honesty/Liberty"; penants attached to the waggon name taxes levied under Walpole's ministry, "Malt Ale/Tobacco Wine/Leather/Gin/Stamp/Land Tax/Candles/Soap/Salt/Coals". Walpole himself, lettered, "Volpone the Projector", stands on top of the waggon saying "Whoever flinches I'll discard"; he slices open an infant ("Sinking Fund") with a sword so that coins from its belly fall into the money chest, at the same time he blows French and Spanish ships out of Brest and Ferol into the Atlantic to frustrate Admiral Vernon's efforts in the Caribbean, while breaking wind that holds British ships in Torbay; a devil flying above, observes, "this wind is strong agt. them). The waggon is driven by "Volpone Junior" (Robert, Baron Walpole) and drawn by six yoked placemen, while the "Balance Master" (Horatio Walpole) sits on the back exclaiming, "Lawful plunder". Bishop Herring (labelled "Salty") follows the waggon acting as a recruiting officer holding a spear and encouraging, "All B[isho]ps, P[ee]rs, C[ommon]ers or others, willing to List in Projectrs Service. repair thither & meet with suitable Encouragemt."; a pamphlet of 1740, "Letter to a Member [of Parliament concerning the present state of affairs at home and abroad]" protrudes from his pocket; he is accompanied by two journalists, "Freeman" (Raphael Courteville) playing the drum and "Sidney" blowing the horn each has a copy of the "Gazeteer" in his pocket

A crowd of people, most wearing Scotch plaid, stand before a mountebank's stage, holding out their hands to the charlatan, a caricature of Lord Bute who holds bags of money. Behind him on the floor of the stage is a chest filled with more bags of money. A woman in a Welsh hat, the Princess of Wales, looks out from the curtains of a bed in the back of the stage and listens with pleasure. A tall quack (T. Smollet) wears a fool's cap, a hornbook hangs from his girdle, and the newspapers The Briton rolled under his arm; at his feet are other copies of The North Briton and The Monitor
