"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
