BMSat 6969). Neither card has an indication of the suit: the hand of each appears ready to grasp the diamond held out by Hastings."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Hastings stands holding one end of a large pie in his left hand; in his right he raises a knife to cut the pie. On the left are Managers of his impeachment; on the right are Thurlow and the Devil: both drag at Hastings and at the pie, but the latter party appear to be gaining. Small demons or imps emerge from the pie which personifies Impey. Burke clutches Hastings's coat and right arm; a scroll issuing from his mouth extends above his assistants and is inscribed 'For the sake of Injured Millions, I and my worthy Friends and Colleagues demand these Wretches as Victims to Publick Justice'. Fox clutches Burke, another man (? Sheridan) clutches Fox, his arm being linked in that of the man (? Windham) on the extreme left. A fifth man in back view clutches with both hands at the pie; a paper protrudes from his pocket inscribed 'Sr Elijah's Impeachment', showing that he is Sir Gilbert Elliot who was entrusted with the case against Impey. Thurlow drags at Hastings's left arm and clutches two large money-bags; a scroll issues from his mouth, forming a pendant to that of Burke: 'And - for the sake of Consigned Millions, I - with the assistance of my old Friend and Colleague here am resolved to protect these worthy Gentlemen'. He wears his Chancellor's wig and gown; one hairy leg terminates in a cloven hoof. The Devil clutches Hastings's wrist and the pie; he is a ferocious muscular creature with webbed wings and scaly barbed tail. Hastings as usual wears oriental dress with a jewelled turban."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"Thurlow, in his Chancellor's wig and gown, kicks with much vigour the back of a bishop whom he urges along a road in the direction of a signpost (right) pointing 'To Durham' (the only title of the print). The bishop wears a mitre, a gown, and extravagantly large lawn sleeves; his left hand is raised deprecatingly, his right is behind his back as if to ward off the Chancellor's kick. Thurlow's arms are raised above his head; in his right hand is his hat. In the background (left) is a cathedral; a devil flying over it indicates that it is Lincoln. Beneath the design is engraved a dialogue between the two brothers: 'Græcari Nescio - Apage Thomas, Græcari non est Græci Loqui, sed est Epulari, Saturari, Expleri, Satiari, Helluari - Epulas quadrifariam vel Centifariam dispertire - In Capite, fortunisque hominum Te longe longeque honestiorum dominari - Ohe!

Abstract:
"A strip design of figures, generally in pairs, in the manner made popular by Bunbury's 'Long Minuet' (BMSat 7229). All attempt to imitate the bow of the Prince of Wales; the words spoken are etched above the head of the speaker. A tall thin man bows, facing a short fat one who says, "What do you think of mine, Sir". The former answers, "It won't do upon my honor." An isolated middle-aged man stoops, his left hand on his back, his right leg raised, his face contorted with pain, saying, "Oh, damn the Lumbago!" A tall thin man, whose dress imitates that of the Prince of Wales, bows, hat in hand, saying, "Monstrous like the Prince, the very bow dem me". His stout and ungainly 'vis-à-vis', dressed in the fashion of c. 1760, is a doctor with medicine-phials projecting from his coat-pocket; he bends low, saying, "Curse it, I've burst the waistband of my breeches". A man wearing a sword bows, holding his hat in both hands; he says to his 'vis-à-vis', a young Irish volunteer in regimentals, "Good God, Sir, you should take off your hat when you make a bow!" The other (the first figure on the second sheet) answers, "Arrah let a Volunteer alone, my dear, did you ever know a man fire before he presented!" A stiff, thin man, resembling BMSat 6718 (Furtado), says to a man who bows from the waist, his body almost horizontal, his long pigtail queue projecting stiffly, "You bow too low, Sir". The other answers, "And you seem to be spitted, Mr few." A Frenchman, 'chapeau-bras' and wearing a bag-wig, capers like a dancing-master, saying, "Ha! Ha! by gar poor John Bull's back will ache at this amusement". His foppishly dressed 'vis-à-vis' stiffly imitates his attitude, saying, "These tight stays will be the death of me." A plainly dressed man bends towards a boy who bows awkwardly, saying, "Vary weel, Sawny, vary like the Prince's bow!" A stout and ugly bishop (the first figure on the third sheet) with an ill-fitting wig, bowing obsequiously, his hands on his breast, faces a thin stiff man who looks at him through an eye-glass, saying, "It may do for a poor Curate presenting a Petition!" The bishop answers, "Better than yours you Pulpit Prig." Burke and Fox, both 'chapeau-bras', bow facing each other: Burke says, "Garrick's bow at the Shrine of Shakespeare was nothing to it." Fox answers, "This is to a certainty something like it." Thurlow, in Chancellor's wig and gown, bows, saying, "He take precedence of me! d-----n his bow!" (cf. BMSat 7320). He faces George Hanger, wearing regimentals, who bows, hat in hand, saying, "It would kick up the heels of chastity in Maid, Wife, or Widow.""-British Museum online catalogue
