A tall, thin gentleman in a military uniform walks accross a mountainous landscape carrying on his back an obese parson with a "Tithes" basket full of chickens and a sucking-pig under his left arm and a scourge with three lashes in his right hand. Behind them and in front of his sheaved harvest stands a farmer dressed in a smock, with a branch in his right hand and his hat in the left. He says, "We Farmers have our Bodys Eat up, for the good of our Souls."

A Spaniard using his sword as a walking stick and capering with satisfaction, leads a procession along a country road to a building inscribed "Inquisition." He is followed by a happy looking Frenchman who pulls George III on a rope tied around the King's neck and through a gate made from two vertical spears with a third one tied horizontally on top. A lion is falling down from it while the unicorn tries to balance itself and the crown. The King is followed by Lord Shelburne (William Petty), mimicking both the royal posture and dress, and holding a rolled document signed 'Preliminaries." Their orderly progress is watched by a lean, simply dressed man holding in his right hand a scourge with many lashes and the word "America" between them. With his left, he pulls the rope tied around the neck of a boorish Dutchman, his hands stuck in his pockets, smoking a pipe
