- Abstract:
- "Italian witnesses, in a large bare room or warehouse, where three are being washed in a large bath by Castlereagh, Sidmouth, and Liverpool. The bath is inscribed: 'Waters of Oblivion. Non mi Recordo [sic]--Ministerial Washing Tub--!' The three witnesses are villainous-looking, and coloured brown. Castlereagh empties a bucket over the head of one, saying: "Can the Etheopean change his Colour." Sidmouth, plying comb and scrubbing-brush, says: "Or the leper his Spots." Liverpool turns to a lawyer (right) saying: "I never had such a dirty job in my life." The lawyer, Gifford the Attorney-General, answers: "We must have them perfect in their Story before they go." He holds a document inscribed 'Milan' [see British Museum Satires No. 13755, &c.]. A second lawyer sits at his feet, mending a pair of breeches. He says: "They are truely a filthy set, we must clear them of Vermin." The discarded garments of the men in the tub lie on the ground, with combs, a lump of 'Itch Ointment', and a box of 'Sulphor'. There are also two boxes: one (left) of 'Windsor Soap', the other (right), 'New Rigging from Monmouth Street' (where second-hand clothes were sold). Three ragged ruffians wait their turn, seated on the ground. Two play cards; one says: "Quel Maledetto Sacco"; the other responds "Ah! quel Sacco" (the Green Bag, see British Museum Satires No. 13735). On the wall behind them hang 'Italian Masks and Daggers just imported.' A high shelf runs round the room, on which stand a pile of 'Dutch Cheese', bottles of 'Italian Oil' and 'Botled Frogs', casks of 'Shalots and Garlick', 'Sour Grout', 'Portable Soup', 'Salt Herrings', 'Butter', a huge basket of 'Eggs', and three jars of 'Pickle'. By the wall on the extreme right, next the lawyers, is a cannon pointing through an aperture."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- Lord North at a wash-tub, washing clothes, with women standing round him. He stands in profile to the left stooping over a tub resting on a square stool or table; he is in his shirt, with his sleeves tucked up, but wearing his garter ribbon. His coat, with its star, lies on a stool behind him. He says, "Oh Lord I wish that Fox at the Devil". In the foreground (left) a fox with playing-cards under its feet, is biting a sack inscribed "Budgett". One woman, in profile to the right, holds up her hands, saying "Poor man he must want a drop of comfort [i.e. gin]". A woman standing full face, behind the tub, says, "Look at him, see what he has got by his Taxation". The third woman stands behind North holding a cloth, and saying "He deserves this Clout pin'd to his tail". A small child with curly hair is looking over the edge of the wash-tub. Over North's head is suspended an axe, suggestive of the impeachment and capital punishment with which he had been threatened by the Opposition and Press, cf. BMSat 5660, 5661, 5964, 6046, &c. [Threats of impeachment and the block had been made by Burke and Fox, e.g. by Fox, 27 Nov. 1781, 'Parl. Hist.' xxii. 692: Ministers would he trusted expiate their measures "on the public scaffold".] The room is poverty-stricken, with plaster coming off the walls. On the table (left) is bottle and glass. In the foreground (right) is a barrel lying on its side inscribed "Gin". On the wall hangs a paper or broadside inscribed, "to praise Lord North i thirst it (?) no ten for he has [? illegible forborne] to tax our Dear Gin".--British Museum online catalogue
