A satire on the Jacobites, their perceived Catholicism and their manipulation by France, with letters in a description beneath which refer to figures in the print. A is the Devil, cupping the chin of B, Prince Charles, the young Pretender, who shakes his hand, holding the Prince's other hand is C, the pope. Above them is an arch adorned with a mitre, crozier, a triple cross and an inverted cornucopia out of which fly little winged monsters. Jacobite supporters and Scotsmen dressed in plaid kneel before the three; a Jesuit and a monk stand beside them in front of a crowd of Catholics wearing crosses on their clothes who wait their turn to worship; beside them stands a basket of small loaves (?). In the centre of the print is D, the elegantly dressed Louis XV, playing the fiddle to which E, England, the figure of Britannia is dancing having dropped her shield, but still holding her spear. Her hand is held by a jester in a fool’s cap holding a bauble and with little bells on his legs; he carries on his shoulders a ragged starving man who is about to bite into a small loaf. On the left, F, Industry, at her spinning wheel looks dejectedly at dancing Britannia. In the background is a prison from which G, two Frenchmen, have escaped, one says “the English are fools” and the other “I’ll fling them”. From behind the barred windows of the prison an unseen prisoner says “Lets get L’Argent” to which another adds “I’ll not Stay Here”.   1745
