Pitt stands erect, each hand in a large sack full of coins which leans against him.   From his head extend branches covered with large flowers which fill more than half the design. A blast inscribed 'Vox Populi' is directed at them causing their leaves to flutter to the ground.   The stomach of Pitt, who is very thin, is inscribed 'Poverty'; the sacks are (left) 'Fruit for Family Use' and (right) 'Fruit, 60,000 Annual'.   The branches are inscribed 'Pride', 'Presumption', 'Obstinacy', and 'Petulance'.  The flowers are: 'Fortifications' (BMSat 6921, &amp;c), 'Tax on Maids' (BMSat 6794, &amp;c), 'Tax on Farmers' (cf. BMSat 6672), 'Coalition with Dundas', 'Manchester Fustian Duty', 'Stamp Duties' (BMSat 6914, &amp;c), 'Tax on Windows', 'Commutation' (BMSat 6634, &amp;c), 'Test Act' (cf. BMSat 7628, &amp;c), 'French Treaty' (a fleur-de-lis) (BMSat 6995, &amp;c), 'Irish Propositions' (BMSat 6785, &amp;c), 'Standing Army', 'Four Regiments', 'Declaratory Bill' (BMSat 7280, &amp;c), 'A Landman First Lord Building at the Admiralty' (Chatham had succeeded Howe, cf. BMSat 7482), 'Shop Tax' (BMSat 6798, &amp;c), 'Reform neglected' (BMSat 6478, &amp;c), 'Scrutiny' (BMSat 6553, &amp;c), 'Excise Law', 'Peerage' (BMSat 6631, &amp;c), 'Dissolution' (BMSat 6476, &amp;c), 'Flag Promotion' (BMSat 7126, &amp;c), 'Regency' (BMSat 7382, &amp;c), 'Patronage', 'India Controul' (BMSat 7152, &amp;c). Some of the flowers have formed fruit, some of which has fallen to the ground: 'Pension', with leaves inscribed 'Watson's Windfall' (BMSat 6965, &amp;c), and 'Pension', the leaves inscribed 'Carleton's Windfall' (ibid.). Other fruit on the ground is 'Sinecures', 'Gratuities', and '12,000'. Beneath the title is etched 'Addressed to the Addressers'.  8 January 1789
