"Satire on the Jacobite rebellion, Prince Charles Edward Stuart, the Young Pretender, and the pro-French and Catholic measures he was expected to introduce. The Prince walks through a market place wearing a tartan kilt and a coat covered in fleur-de-lis; he is proceeded by a drummer and followed by Scots troops carrying Lochaber axes all of whom wear cockades on their Scots bonnets. At a butcher's stall on the right, proclaiming 'Flesh for such as haue Licences', a bishop buys a piece of beef from a woman who chops it up with a cleaver. Beside this is a stall selling 'FINE PLUMP FROGS for a Fricace'e, specimens of which hang from rods over the stall while a young woman arranges more on her counter; next is a Frenchman offering 'Woode(n) Shoes A la mod(e) PARIS' from a selection on a table before him. Above the final stall two angels hold a notice, adorned with the Papal arms, advertising 'Holy RELICKS from JERSULEM ITALY FRANCE SPAIN & other Catholick Countries to be Sold or Chang'd for old Silver by Antonio Maria Francesco Credo' while in the stall beneath a monk stands before a pile of sculls holding a broken femur; the wares for sale include a rosary, a cross, a knife, 'Queen Maries shoes', bits of bones, one of which is labelled 'Legg of St. Andrew', another, 'Arme of St Ninion', and notices advertise, 'The VIRG(in's) MILK', 'Angels Sweat', 'Saints Teeth'; in front of the stall a dog holds a 'Bone of St Dominick' in its teeth. In the foreground, on the left, a group of Scotsmen, one playing the bagpipes, sits outside an inn from which hangs the sign of the 'FRENCH YOKE', while another enters carrying over his shoulder a heavy bag lettered 'CONTRIBUTION MONEY'. On the balcony of the in inn stand Cardinal Tencin, the Pope, holding a cross and a crown, and a monk; lettering at their feet reads, 'FRENCH BRANDY & ITALIAN WINES imported by P.BENIDICT C. TENCIN'. A street sweeper sweeps up papers lettered 'Magna Charta', 'Bank Notes', 'India Bills', and 'Scotch Directory for Worship', 'The HOLY BIBLE' and 'The BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER'. Behind him a Scotsman gives a coin to a monk in exchange for papers lettered 'Indulgences for 100 Years' and 'Pardons for Sins Past'; a French priest standing beside him, a white Jacobite cockade in his hat, carries a pedlar's tray laden with bottles and balls lettered, Poison Gaggs and Spanish Padlocks'. In the centre, a barefoot boy drives a donkey with panniers on top of which are papers lettered 'Petition for a General Spunge', 'Petition to dissolve the Union', 'Petitions of your true Friends', 'Petition to Restore Abby Lands and for Clanships'. On the right, a young woman, also barefoot, kneels by a basket, with the label 'Royal Nosegays' offering for sale bunches of thistles and lilies. In the background is a market cross on which hangs a paper lettered 'J[ames] R[ex]', with the sign of a fleur-de-lis, 'MANIFESTO by the Power of France and Spain Rome Sept 2 sign'd Okely'. Beyond is a chapel with a thatched roof in the doorway of which a woman kneels before a monk standing behind three thistles; on the front of the chapel, under the sign of a host over a chalice with St Peter's keys and the papal tiara, is a large notice promising 'Full Indulgences, MIRACLES Done here by the Holy Fathers of the INQUISITION Three Thistles grow out of a hard Stone'."--British Museum online catalogue

"Gunboats in the form of coffins are foundering or about to founder. Each has a single cannon in the bows, and a mast with a triangular sail whose corner is held in the teeth of the skull which surmounts the mast. The crews all wear shrouds and bonnets rouges; on the skulls also are bonnets rouges. Some of the men are screaming in the water, where a floating skull holds the end of a sail in its teeth, looking round fiercely at one of the drowning men. Others are still in the coffin-gunboats, holding muskets or making gestures of despair. One says: "Oh de Corsican Bougre, was make dese Gun Boats on purpose for our Funeral." In the background are two British men of war. Two tiny sailors say: "I say Messmate if we dont bear up quickly there will be nothing left for us to do", and, "Rigt [sic] Tom, & I take them there things at the mast head to be Boney's Crest, a Skull without Brains." A satire on the manifest impracticability of an invasion (see British Museum Satires No. 10008) by gunboats without the command of the sea, cf. British Museum Satires Nos. 9995, &c, 10125, 10223, 10231, 10260, 10277."--British Museum online catalogue
