- In the upper right, beneath the French flag, French troops and Indians attack English settlers and burn their homes as signs of general social and political corruption are illustrated in the foreground; each scene is numbered and explained in the key below the image. In the center a tower covered by a cloud, obscuring all but a crown, orb and scepter. Two counselors with goose heads standing gossiping, and two bishops play backgammon and drink spirits (wine?), one sits on a chair made from a bible and the other sits on am overturned model of a church. Two noblemen rob a countryman as he sleeps in his chair. Two senators count their bribes, one hiding the money in his 'pension'. The decline in manufacturing (trade) is symbolized by the idle loom, covered with cobwebs and labeled "To be sold cheape". A thin, starving seaman begs while behind him two common folk stand idly with their hands in their pockets. In the upper left, soldiers in uniform lounge around their military encampment, beside rows of tents and cannons. In the distance, lines of ships stand idle at sea
