A continuous strip design on four sheets attached lengthwise; on the first is an additional imprint: "Pub. by William Holland N° 50 Oxford Street April 3 1788", and on the third a similar imprint, dated "April 13"; with words of dialogue etched above the heads of the various speakers.
Print shows a series of 11 scenes comprised of caricatures reflecting the public agitation for the abolition of the slave trade, including: Thurlow, in Chancellor's wig and gown, and the King sitting facing each other at a small rectangular table; Queen Charlotte, her hair and shoulders covered with jewels, seated in a small armchair playing a square piano; Mrs. Fitzherbert leading the Prince of Wales by a chain attached to his wrists; Hastings, in oriental dress, seated in a chair, looking to the right, while Pitt stands beside him at left, holding his bared right arm and a basin, which catches the blood from an incision; the Duke of York (left) seated with Fox and Admiral Pigot at a card-table; Lady Archer at a dressing-table painting her face with a monkey sitting on the back of her chair and one of her daughters kneeling behind her with her hands tied behind her back; Miss Farren seated in a chair in profile to the right, holding an open book, looking at Lord Derby who stands legs astride, arms extended, saying, "I think this attitude will eclipse the Prince's Bow!"; a fat and ugly parson sitting at a circular table eating greedily while the Devil dressed as a cook with cap and apron stands at his back lashing a sucking-pig which he holds by the tail; Burke as an emaciated parson standing in a pulpit; a very slim and foppish young man (Charles Greville?) seated at a dressing-table applying a cosmetic to his cheek; a lady wearing a large feathered hat clasping her hands to her breast and saying (or singing) "My heart, my good heart, says my Henry is true", while Prince William claps ecstatically, saying, "Bravo! bravissimo! encore!!!".
