"Four men, raffishly prosperous, dance forward together in a line, three in tipsy joviality, one dragged forward, ill and dejected. The Irishman and Englishman have their arms entwined, one flourishes a cane, the other a handkerchief. The melancholy Scot holds the Englishman's coat-tail. The jovial Welshman takes the Scot's left arm, waving his hat. Each wears, in top-hat and coat, his national flower: shamrock, rose, thistle, leek. The Scot wears quasi-tartan trousers."--British Museum online catalogue

A landscape divided by a stream. On the left, a desolate wasteland with a man cutting down the remaining apple tree while several other men attack a cow with knives or drink its blood. The cow bears on its rump a large stamp, alluding to the Stamp Act of 1765. To the right a cow garlanded by flowers and standing on a yoke is milked by a woman while the milk is drunk from bowls by women and children. Other children dance in the background and a boy picks apples in a tree. Contrasts England's harsh rule of her American colonies with benign and more profitable policies, possibly those of Holland
