Lord Fitzwilliam, seated on a board or short stretcher carried by two priests, is the centre of a procession (right to left) of shouting Irish ragamuffins. He sits complacently, looking to his left, and towards the spectator, wearing (incorrectly) a ribbon and star; he is not caricatured. The foremost priest says "Now we shall have no Bonfires". [Underlined in uncoloured impression only] In front walks a man clutching a rosary and holding up a crucifix. Behind walks a tall gaunt man carrying a board inscribed: 'to get into both Houses to claim lost Titles &amp; Estates, to Abolish Churches &amp; Meeting Houses &amp; to Keep no Faith with Heriticks'. Behind him (right) walks a man waving a bottle of 'Whiskey' and shouting "Arrah my Sweet William &amp; will you go &amp; leave all these fine things behind you". In the foreground (right) is a ferocious-looking man cramming into an open chest (already full) an armful of instruments of torture: shackles, pincers, a headsman's axe, a dagger, &amp;c. He says: "Aye, you must be laid by for the Present." The chest is inscribed: 'Fundamental Principles of our Holy Religion or Cool Arguments for the Conversion of Protestants.'
<p><br>Winged creatures fly off on the extreme left and right. One (left), a demon with small webbed wings and a barbed tail, holds a scroll: 'Discord', 'Disaffection', 'Religious War', 'Racks', 'Tortures &amp; Intolerancy'. The other, a cherub (right), holds a scroll: 'Unity Peace &amp; Concord'. On the extreme right in the background, houses are indicated, inscribed 'Dublin'. Above the design: 'The Journey to [erased] from Dublin'.  20 March [1795]
