Print shows a latrine occupied by a procession headed by Talleyrand holding up a crozier and advancing towards the seat; a demon looks out of the seat, saying, "Ca Ira! Ca Ira!" Talleyrand, as Bishop of Autun, wears mitre, lawn sleeves, long robes; he puts one knee on the seat, showing that his leg above the knee is bare, revealing him a sans-culotte; to his crozier are suspended his blazing breeches. He is followed by a French fish-wife (Chauvelin) carrying a flaming torch inscribed 'Inflammatory Epis[tle]'; in her right hand is a document inscribed 'Instructions from the National Assembly to their Diplomatique'. Two fish hang from her waist. Behind and on the extreme left walk three small Frenchmen with tricolour caps carrying a lighted brazier, a red-hot poker, &c. On the wall, partly obscured by the smoke from the breeches, is a picture of 'The House of Commons'.
