'Iohn Bull' kneels on one knee directed to the left, supporting a huge globe on his shoulders. He says, with a despairing scowl: "Asses was made to bear and so am I." He has strong, shapely limbs and wears only a ragged tunic with short wrinkled and tattered stockings. His wrists are shackled. Across the equator of the globe is inscribed in large letters 'A World of Taxes'. The rest of the globe is covered with repetitions of 'Triple Assessed Taxes!' and 'Taxes'. Beneath the title: 'Dedicated to that Prince of Satyrists Peter Pindar Esqr by his humble Servant Richard Newton.' 18 January 1798
