Satire on Lord Bute, Princess Augusta and Henry Fox at the signing of the Peace preliminaries in November 1762, showing them blown into the air as a result of explosions set off by the City of London, represented by a female who ignites "The Monitor", "Gisbal An Hyperborean Tale" (see BM Satires 3848) and "The Nth. Briton" on the left, and "Map of Newfound Land/Additional Duties/P[re]l[i]m[inarie]s" on the right. Augusta's skirt flies in the air exposing her garter and she cries "O when shall we three meet again", to which Fox replies, "When Peace is sign'd with F[rance] &amp; S[pain]"; Bute loses his garter star and Scotch bonnet and cries for help from three demons of hell. London addresses William Pitt standing to the right, "Tis done my Son &amp; Justice shall take Place". In the centre, the British lion mauls Tobias Smollett, dressed in plaid and holding the "Briton", while Arthur Murphy lies prone beside him holding the "Auditor". To the left, the Duke of Cumberland call out, "Here's brave sport" while a younger man (probably the Duke of York) stands beside him saying, "Yes Uncle this will do". On the horizon is the city of Londonwith the dome of St Pauls and the Monument.
