"Satire on the ambitions of European powers ranged against Maria Theresa in the early stages of the War of Austrian Succession, and on Robert Walpole's preoccupation with his own precarious position as well as his lack of support for Austria; an adaptation of British Museum Satires No. 2463. The ships at sea in the foreground of the earlier state have been replaced by the naked figure of Maria Theresa (then Queen of Hungary) sitting on a chair, one leg having been amputated and replaced by a wooden stump; a cloth around her hips is lettered, "Hungary & Lindtz". Her clothing has been pulled off by her enemies: Frederick the Great of Prussia pins down her cap, labelled "Silesia", with his halberd; the figure on the ground, previously identified as Theodore of Corsica holds her necklace labelled "Buta" [Buda]; the King of Spain holds a string by which he has pulled off her shift, labelled, "Just Rights"; the word "Doteingness" has been removed from Cardinal Fleury's walking frame and a string attached to his wrist has pulled off the Queen's petticoat, labelled "Austria/Netherlands" which she tries to hold on to; Walpole's paper is now lettered, "Place Bill", he now says "King LOGG listen to the Cardinal" a label at his feet reads, "If I get off now thanks to ye Priest Successor of Richlieu", and his string is now attached to the foot of the City of London alderman, whose label "Sturdy Beggar" has been removed; the Dutchman holds a string to which is attached the Queen's tippet labelled "Munich"(?) and he now says, "But We Design to be on our Guard & remain neuter"; the labels "Bohemia" and "Grand Duke" have been removed from two figures in the background; The figure formerly identified as Austria is now "Bohemia" and holds a string pulling the Queen's robe which is labelled "Prague", "Sultzback" and "Breslau". The verses below have been erased and replaced by twelve stanzas. The lettering is otherwise unchanged."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
On the left James II, seated on a throne of "hereditary right" and holding manacles, turns left to shake the hand of a monk who tramples on an open volume labeled "Holy Bible". From under the throne dragons or serpents devour the "Magna Carta", "Toleration Act", "Common and Statute Law" and "Acts of Parliament" while slaves bow before the King and Furries with torches and whips dance before him. On an obelisk is inscribed: "The Foundation of the Roman Hierarchy; implicit faith; apostalical succession; infallibility; pardons and indulgences; decrees of council; massacres; private murders; perjury and the inquisition ..." At foot of the obelisk is the Pope preaching "Hereditary indefeasible right and my bull to sanctify thy claim" addressed to the Pretender ...

"Satire on Robert Walpole and his continuing influence on government after his fall from power. A large folding screen in the centre stands open showing events from Walpole's career: the South Sea Bubble, the treaties of Hanover and Seville, the "Bank contract" of 1720, Admiral Hosier's expedition to Cartagena, the Excise Scheme (depicted as BM Satires 1918), the War of Jenkins' Ear, the Convention of the Pardo, the English ships held in the port of San Sebastian in 1740 (see BM Satires 2418 and 2440), and a general reference to "Bribery, &c.". A mirror on the left reveal that Walpole is standing behind the screen pulling strings that operate members of parliament assembled in the chamber shown below. Above the screen is a separate scene showing the reconciliation between George II and Frederick, Prince of Wales, early in 1742. To the right stands the Duke of Argyll in Garter robes resting against a lectern and pointing to Wapole's misdeeds as portrayed on the screen; above Argyll's head hangs a picture of Diogenes holding his lamp and a portrait of the "honest man" he sought; beside Argyll is lettered, "Glorious and Brave to shake Corruption's Seat, But much more Glorious is thy brave Retreat". Two columns of letterpress verse below warn "William", i.e. Pulteney, that Walpole continues to influence governement."

In the upper right, beneath the French flag, French troops and Indians attack English settlers and burn their homes as signs of general social and political corruption are illustrated in the foreground; each scene is numbered and explained in the key below the image. In the center a tower covered by a cloud, obscuring all but a crown, orb and scepter. Two counselors with goose heads standing gossiping, and two bishops play backgammon and drink spirits (wine?), one sits on a chair made from a bible and the other sits on am overturned model of a church. Two noblemen rob a countryman as he sleeps in his chair. Two senators count their bribes, one hiding the money in his 'pension'. The decline in manufacturing (trade) is symbolized by the idle loom, covered with cobwebs and labeled "To be sold cheape". A thin, starving seaman begs while behind him two common folk stand idly with their hands in their pockets. In the upper left, soldiers in uniform lounge around their military encampment, beside rows of tents and cannons. In the distance, lines of ships stand idle at sea
