Engraving. Three men look at a distraught fourth man as a demon carrying a map of America farts and flies away. The first man, who is plump and has a bucket shaped hat, says De donder take you monsieur, I think I have paid the piper. The second is handsome and has a rapier and a feather in his broad brimmed hat. He taps on the third mans shoulder and says See Gibraltar! See Don Langara! by S Anthony you have made me the Laughing Stock of Europe. The third man is absurdly thin with an exaggerated long pointy face. He offers the fourth snuff and says Ah ah me lord Angla, volez vous une pince de snuff, for de diable will not give you back de Amerique. The fourth man, large and tired, looks up at the devil and stands beside a broken anchor. He holds his hands up in despair and says Tis lost! Irrecoverably lost! From between the demons buttocks come the words Poor John Bull! Ha ha ha!

Four men with large bellies, large eyes and protruding lower lips carry full sacks into an office and say Mr Mayor, we have brought great quantities of corn to market and no body will buy, we request your advice what to do with it. The mayor, a smug looking figure in a red and gold coat, replies Do with it? why, as you have done, Keep it!! His assistant holds up a paper saying Ordered the price of bread to be lowered one half tomorrow. Out the window can be seen a cart piled with sacks labelled To go back no purchasers and a labourer saying Dang it, if I did not think it would come to this at last.
