Pitt (left), supporting with his right arm a wolf-like monster, points arrogantly at the money-bags held out by John Bull (left), whose knees flex with terror. He says: "If you dont come down with your Income, I'll let him loose!!!" Round the monster's thick neck is a collar: 'La Grande Nation'; from its jaws issue flames and an army of skeletons, brandishing weapons; flames dart from its nostrils. John says "Oh spare my life and take all I have"; he holds out a large bag inscribed '10 Pr Cent on Income', and a smaller one containing 'Remaining fruits of Industry'. Behind his head is a placard:
