"Lord North (left), with a sack over his shoulder inscribed "Budget", drags by a chain a large lion. The lion's right fore-paw, inscribed "America", has been cut off, and his leg is bleeding. With the lion walk America, France, and Spain. America, a Red Indian with a head-dress and kilt of feathers, holds out a tomahawk in his left hand; in his other hand is the staff supporting the cap of liberty; he says, "This Limb belongs to me in Spite of Fate". France holds out a sword in his left hand, his right is on the lion's head; he says, "Either by Policy or Force I must Obtain some limb or Other". Spain, standing by France, says "I am afraid I shall lose all my Dollers & get Nothing". Behind the lion (r.) three men advance with a flag inscribed "Associations", two of them with drawn swords; they point towards North; one says, "Let our Associations Stop that lump of Iniquity from Ruining our Country"; the next says, "One limb is lost Already by his Infernal tricks". The third says, "Give us an Account how you Spend our money". North is saying, "D------n these Associations they will put a Stop to my Proceedings at last." He is walking over documents inscribed "York; Middlesex; Petitions, and Protestant Petition" (the monster petition for the repeal of the Catholic Relief Act to which Lord George Gordon was then collecting signatures). In the foreground a large thistle is growing, emblematic of the evil influence of Scotland; near it appears part of some striped material, perhaps the American flag, but with many more than thirteen stripes."--British Museum online catalogue
