"Lord North (left), with a sack over his shoulder inscribed "Budget", drags by a chain a large lion. The lion's right fore-paw, inscribed "America", has been cut off, and his leg is bleeding. With the lion walk America, France, and Spain. America, a Red Indian with a head-dress and kilt of feathers, holds out a tomahawk in his left hand; in his other hand is the staff supporting the cap of liberty; he says, "This Limb belongs to me in Spite of Fate". France holds out a sword in his left hand, his right is on the lion's head; he says, "Either by Policy or Force I must Obtain some limb or Other". Spain, standing by France, says "I am afraid I shall lose all my Dollers & get Nothing". Behind the lion (r.) three men advance with a flag inscribed "Associations", two of them with drawn swords; they point towards North; one says, "Let our Associations Stop that lump of Iniquity from Ruining our Country"; the next says, "One limb is lost Already by his Infernal tricks". The third says, "Give us an Account how you Spend our money". North is saying, "D------n these Associations they will put a Stop to my Proceedings at last." He is walking over documents inscribed "York; Middlesex; Petitions, and Protestant Petition" (the monster petition for the repeal of the Catholic Relief Act to which Lord George Gordon was then collecting signatures). In the foreground a large thistle is growing, emblematic of the evil influence of Scotland; near it appears part of some striped material, perhaps the American flag, but with many more than thirteen stripes."--British Museum online catalogue

The five powers involved in peace negotiations in Paris each stand on their tiny island in the sea. On the left George III says "I gave them independence." Next to him is a caricatured figure representing France, with the left arm cut off. "I must have Canada and Grenada for my Arm." Beside France a caricatured Dutchman bemoans the loss of his foot, and Spain in turn demands Gibraltar for his leg. On the far right America in the form of a female Indian announces "I have got all I wanted - Empire!." Above the scene Hibernia floats on a cloud saying "I deny all foreign jurisdictions..."

A man, possibly George III or Lord North, is seated on a three-legged stool, the legs of which are labelled Lords, Privy Council, and Commons, this last deeply cut by the axe. At the left, a seated Britannia sleeps, the cap of liberty atopt her drooping spear while male figures representing Holland, Spain and France occupy the foreground, a suggestion that the conflict with America serves to the advantage of these other European powers

"The five commissioners (right) recently nominated to negotiate peace with the colonies, kneel one behind the other at the feet of America, who sits (left) on a pile of barrels and bales looking away from the Commissioners at a cap of liberty which she holds on a staff. She is a partly draped woman wearing a crown of feathers; her head is irradiated, and above it is suspended a laurel wreath. The bales and barrels on which she sits are inscribed "Tobacco for Germany"; "Rice for France"; "Tobacco for France"; "Tobacco for Holland"; "America 1778"; "Indico for Spain"; "Indico for the Mediterranean Ports, V.R." (Monogram.), cf. BMSat 5472, 5859, &c. The Commissioners are headed by Lord Howe in naval dress; he says, "We have block'd up your ports, obstructed your trade, with the hope of starving ye, & contrary to the Law of Nations compelld your sons to war against their Bretheren". Behind him is General Sir William Howe, wearing the red ribbon of the Bath; he says "We have ravaged your Lands, burnt your Towns, and caus'd your captive Heroes to perish, by Cold, pestilence & famine". Next is Lord Carlisle wearing the green ribbon of the Thistle; he says "We have profaned your places of Divine worship, derided your virtue and piety, and scoff'd at that spirit which has brought us thus on our knees before ye". He is foppishly dressed and appears deeply interested in his snuff-box, cf. BMSat 5474. Behind him is William Eden (afterwards Lord Auckland) with a pen behind his ear; he says, "We have Ravish'd, Scalp'd, and murder'd your People, even from Tender infancy to decrepid age, altho Supplicating for Mercy", cf. BMSat 5470, &c. Last comes Commodore George Johnstone, known as Governor Johnstone, in naval dress; he is saying, "For all which material services, we the Commissioners from the most pious & best of sovereigns, doubt not your cordial duty & affection towards us, or willingness to submit yourselves again to receive the same, whenever we have power to bestow it on ye". The five swords of the Commissioners lie in a pile on the ground beside Carlisle. The words of the speakers are in long labels, numbered, as are the five Commissioners, to show by whom they are spoken."--British Museum online catalogue

In a landscape with a town in the background, a zebra is shown facing left with the names of the 13 colonies engraved on its stripes. Behind the animal, George Grenville is about to put on its back a saddle labelled "Stamp Act." To the left, Lord North pulls at the reins, proclaiming "My name is Boreas the First; I hold the reins and will never quit them till the beast is subdued." On the right two men hold the tail, one a representative of France, the other in English military dress (probably depicting Washington) saying "My name is Fabius the Second, & the rudder is my hand." Behind North are the three commissioners, probably Johnstone, Carlisle, and Eden, lamenting that "Our offers are rejected, no terms but independence" etc

An elegantly dressed and coiffed woman, representing Britain, exchanges blows with the tatooed female America, naked but for a skirt of feathers and a feathered headdress. The first says "I'll force you to obedience you rebellious slut," as America answers "Liberty, liberty for ever Mother while I exist." In the left foreground a shield bearing a compass rose leans agains a tree which is shedding its leaves. A corresponding tree on the right has full foliage with a cap of liberty at its top, while the shield before it displays a pointing hand on which stands a rooster. Ribbons below the British and American shields are titled, respectively, "For obedience" and "For liberty".
