"Satire on the king and government concerning the employment of Hanoverian troops in England. A cart loaded with Hanoverian turnips is drawn from the right by three horses into the parade ground behind the Treasury.On the left, in front of the leading horse, stands John Perceval, his coat labelled "Deceivall" and holding a paper lettered, "Independant", saying, "In my popular station". Facing him, the bulky figure of William Pulteney, holding a driver's whip and a handful of turnips, says, "Honest Friend S[an]d[y]s rejoyce & sing here's H[anove]r T[urni]p will now come again Ho"; Robert Walpole stands on the other side of the horses saying, "Ha S[an]d[y]s you've a short reign". The man standing on the shafts of the cart calling out, "Stop Boy they shall buy th'all" is apparently identifiable as Samuel Sandys, now Chancellor of the Exchequer; Amalia von Wallmoden sits on the turnips saying, "Thank you Sr for ye Honr. you've done me & yor. Man Will", presumably a reference to Pulteney. Behind the horses stand two other men, evidently Treasury officials, one, holding Treasury tallies, says "Let me be S[and]y[s] I'm not squeamish", the other saying "Ill make a round sum"; the king leans over a balcony of the Treasury brandishing a broom and saying "Pay for ye whole S[an]d[y]s I'll sweep the T[reasu]ry clean". On a wall in the background are pasted "S[an]d[y]s Speeches, a halfpeny a Peice" concerning the Place Bill, the Motion to enquire into the conduct of Walpole and the Triennial Act 1743; a ballad seller sits on the ground beside them. The Hanoverian cavalry enters from the right, led by a commander carrying the standard with the white horse of Hanover, and followed by mounted bandsmen, including a kettle drummer and a trumpeter. One Hanoverian remarks, "For us 260" in reference to the number of members of parliament who voted to retain the troops. In the foreground an Englishman kneels on the ground grasping a bunch of turnips and saying, "By G[o]d these Turnips are dear"."--British Museum online catalogue

"Satire on the ineffectual opposition at the time of the parliamentary motion to remove Robert Walpole from office suggesting that they are motivated by self-interest. Walpole stands in a landscape assailed by arrows labelled "Ambition", "Want of Place", "Disappointment", "Self Interest", "Sham Patriotism", "affected Zeal", "Resentment", "Malice", "Prejudice", "Revenge", "Disaffection", "Want of Pension", and "Pique"; none of the arrows hit their mark. On the left opposition politicians with their bows stand or run away. They are identified in the verses beneath: Carteret, Argyll, the Bishop of Lichfield fallen to the ground saying "The D[evi]l owed me a Spite", Sandys crying "all mismanaged", Doddington, Lyttelton, Pulteney saying, "Z[ound]s I've mist him"; in the foreground, the tory William Shippen kneels laying down his bow and saying "I'll e'en not meddle"; a group of tories rushing away to left cry, "Let us make hast out"; the devil flies above them in the form of a winged pig, crying "yah! yah! yah!". In the background three men labour in vain to push a millstone up a hill twoards where another waits to receive it. On the right a group of Walpole's supporters mock the opposition, noting particularly the collapse of the Bishop Smalbroke, "Split Devil is down". Fifteen explanatory stanzas below, each ending with the chorus, "Doodle, &c."--British Museum online catalogue

"Satire on Cardinal Fleury and French dejction at the success of Admiral Vernon, coupled with condemnation of Robert Walpole for his initial opposition to the war. Fleury, finely dressed in cardinal's robes, rises from a chair and teeters on the edge of a cliff, looking in alarm at a medallion with a laureated head lettered, "Admiral Vernon"; under his arm is a scroll, lettered, "His iron will geet ye better of my Gold./G[o]d, he'll take all our Aquisitions in America." July 1740. Behind Fleury is a wall covered in graffiti: a gallows from which hangs a fat man (Walpole) lettered, "No matter yt he is long than ye Gallow's"; a man with the head of a bird who pushes a wheelbarrow; a windmill; a donkey laden with a pack; the heady of an angry Spaniard with a bird on his hat; another Spaniard, whole-length, leaning on a stick, a dog biting the tail of his cloak and two birds flying around his head; in the middle of the wall is a circular opening through which can be seen "Poor Hosier's Fleet"; a cock lettered, "Crown'd twice", stands on the wall. A pole rises from the wall, bearing a severed head, lettering identifies this as "Wall/Pole"; a ribbon hangs from the mouth lettered, "What Pity is it we can die but Once to serve our Country/Ad. Cato." Behind the wall on the right, is an imposing building flying the union flag; three crowns rest on clouds, and lightning flashes in the sky. The scene is set in a rococo frame with verses below."--British Museum online catalogue
