Bute, John Stuart, Earl of, 1713-1792 and Saint James's Palace (London, England),
George IV and three of his ministers (Castlereagh, Liverpool, and Wellington) struggle to pull on a rope tied a mortar, which is shaped like a fantastical winged creature. Their targets are apparently the "Satirists" in the sky in the upper right, who wield pens and banners; an additional satirist, with the beaked face of a bird, is seen in the sky in the upper left, sitting on a wheeled hobby horse and ready to shoot an arrow inscribed 'Cradle Hymn" from a bow. Additional depicted figures included Gifford, wearing a wig and gown and holding a scourge; Sidmouth, using a clyster pipe to shoot at the satirists in the sky; and Canning, holding a cudgel above his head, ready to strike a fleeing Burdett. Following behind the mortar are several men, one wearing a liberty cap, two of them holding a banner inscribed "Life and amours of Madam Hunn[?]" between them. A monkey in military uniform rides a donkey towards the left edge of the design, exclaiming "Clear the way for his most gracious Majesty!" From the foreground on the left George III watches the scene; he wears a black shroud, and only his head and shoulders are visible
Alternative Title:
His Most Gracious Majesty Hum IVth and his ministers going to play the Devil with the satirists and His Most Gracious Majesty Hum the Fourth and his ministers going to play the Devil with the satirists
