François II partant pour la guerre, reçoit du peuple anglais, le prix du sang des ses sujets
'Jonn Bull (left), obese, unkempt, and plebeian, dining at a small table, turns in his chair to hand a money-bag, inscribed 'Pour l'Autriche', to the Emperor, who advances to take it in a mincing manner. He says: "Laisse moi diner et va te battre pour mot, contre ces enragés de français"; in his right hand is a fork on which is a chunk of food. On the table are money-bags: 'Pour la Russie' and 'Pour la Suede'. Behind him (left) is a curtain through which peeps Pitt, his finger to his nose, saying: "Ne pouvant augmenter notre population, diminuons celle du Continent." The Emperor is in uniform, his elegance and the politeness with which his huge cocked hat sweeps the ground make a striking contrast to John Bull. The scene is the sea-shore; bales of commerce are piled behind Pitt, whose cur snarls at the Emperor' -- British Museum.
