"A circular globe floating in the air just above the heads of three standing spectators. A witch on a broom-stick (left) flies with her back to the balloon at which she directs a blast, labelled 'Inflammable Air', from her posteriors; she is suckling a cat which sits on the broom-stick. A man standing below (left) holds a torch in the 'Inflammable Air' saying "How blue it burns". On the right two men look up at the balloon. One, in profile to the left, wearing pigtail queue, looped hat, and ruffled shirt, says "We shall now have a Lunatick Journal". The letters 'F.R.S.' inscribed at his feet show that he is a Fellow of the Royal Society. Behind him is a more plainly dressed man wearing a bob-wig and no hat; he holds up a card saying "I've a card for ye Georgium Sidus"; he is A.S.S."--British Museum online catalogue
