Sans-culottes feeding Europe with the bread of liberty

Design consists of five groups variously identified as Holland, Savoy, Germany & Prussia, Italy, and John Bull, showing pantless sansculottes forcefeeding small loaves of bread labelled "Liberty" to representatives of the different nations, including a Dutchman, a Savoyard hurdy-gurdy man, an Austrian and Prussian army officer, and the Pope. A central group shows John Bull between Sheridan and Fox, who are forcibly feeding him with the bread of liberty. Both are caricatured as ragged and bare-legged sansculottes, wearing bonnets-rouges. Each forces a small loaf inscribed 'Liberty', on the point of a dagger, into John's gaping mouth, while dipping a hand into his coat-pocket.
