- Abstract:
- "Two women ..., the Duchess of Gordon and her daughter, weep beside an ornate coffin on trestles decorated with ducal coronets and the arms and crest, 'Che Sara Sara', of the Duke of Bedford. The Duchess, grossly fat and much caricatured, her hands on her hips, stands on the left, saying, "You intended to ha'a him my dear if you cauld thats certain or ony of the Family, but ne'er heed it Chiel I'll take You down to the Abbey [Woburn] and try again." She wears a Scots cap on a wig with short curls. Lady Georgiana (right) stands with both arms extended, staggering backwards, in uncontrolled despair. A miniature on a velvet ribbon has fallen from one wrist, another is about to fall. She exclaims: "Ah me, a luckless Maid, thus crossed in hope & expectation too. quite lost in both Attempts, the one for ever gone the other far too Cold, to feel the genial warmth of mine and Mothers Love. I'll take me to my Weeds & shew the World the ne'er was Love like mine." Her hat and necklace lie on the coffin; her curled wig, flung off by her extravagant gestures, is about to fall on it. Broadside ballads lie on the ground; beside the Duchess: 'There's Nae luck about the House' and 'We'll tuck up our petticoats under our arm and over . . .' Beside her daughter: 'Wither my Love ah Wither art thou gone' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 9311] and 'Mad Bessy of Bedl[am]'."--British Museum online catalogue

- Title etched below image., Measurements from copy in British Museum., Identification of those depicted from British Museum., Description from British Museum: "John Bull, a carter, tips the contents of a rough two-wheeled cart, 'John Bull's Rubbish Cart', into a circular pit. The contents are the Opposition: Fox (three-quarter length), the largest figure, is sliding in; he clutches the long forelock of Burdett, who with Tierney is just behind him, and still in the cart. He looks despairingly at Pitt, who stands (right) in profile to the left, in surplice and bands, and pointing down the pit. Pitt reads from his open book: 'With a sincere hope that none of you will ever rise again, I commit you all to the Pit-hole!' Sheridan is about to fall in head first. Behind, and towering above Burdett and Tierney (who are comparatively self-controlled), is Erskine in wig and gown, holding a 'Brief', his arms raised in terrified supplication. On his left is the profile of Bedford (right) wearing a jockey-cap. The large head of the tiny Lord Derby is in the back left corner of the cart. Two small feet are disappearing into the pit, perhaps belonging to M. A. Taylor. The carter, raising the back of the cart, says: "Good bye to you, my Masters, Parson Billy will soon settle the business". His horse, unharnessed, stands with its head behind the cart.", This electronic record is derived from historic data and may not reflect our current information.
