Satirical arms with a donkey as the crest, an owl wearing a cap on its back. The donkey stands upon a "Log" which rests upon a "Bible", a paper marked "Address", and a "Liturgy Petition" with a cross on it. The shield contains various images, including three warships, a tankard of beer, military tents next to cannons, and a ram. Hops and barley (or another grain) are present on either side of shield, akin to supporters. Latin mottos are contained within ribbons at the bottom, and read "furiis in censa feror" and "vir tutis sub umbra viti um."

"Three men shear four rams with human faces and long spiral horns. The first (left), still unshorn, has the bottle-nose and drink-blotched face of Curtis; a large bell hangs from his neck; he bleats B A A A A A A. His shearer says: Come along you Blubber--alias Bell Weather S'Blood what a Cur 'tis; in his pocket is a paper: Quintus Curtius. He is Quin, who took an active part against Flower. The second, Councillor Waithman (a draper), holds Flower, the Mayor, labelled The Flower of the Flock, who is almost shaved; he says: Egad I have Cut them preelly [sic] close; his shears, like those of Quin, are inscribed Vox Popula [sic]. The third, Alderman Harvey Combe, uses a comb. He holds Alderman Price and says to Waithman: Ne'er Wait man I have Combed them well--. Price says: N'o Blubber Sperm fetches the best Price. Beside him is another ram (Shaw), completely shorn and dejected; it says: Pshaw I can never Stand upright in the presence of a great Mon but always Keep Booing, booing [cf. British Museum Satires No. 11306]."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"A man with the profile of an animal, perhaps a sheep, wearing gown and bands, holds a large tie-wig of the kind worn by judges in his left hand, the fingers of his right hand are held out as if in calculation; he looks at himself in an ornately framed oval mirror on the wall with an expression of singular imbecility. An open door in the back wall shows rows of books in a book-case: on its lintel stands a bust. An oval (half length) portrait hangs on the left of the door, it is of a man in wig and bands, probably the subject of the caricature. Two high-backed chairs are the only furniture of the room."--British Museum online catalogue

"A farm-yard scene with Windsor Castle in the distance (right).
