Five groups, one in each corner, with a central group which represents John Bull, standing full face, between Sheridan (left) and Fox (right), who are forcibly feeding him with the bread of liberty. Both are 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, dipping a hand into his coat-pocket. In the background, standing on a barren plain, are a gibbet (left) and Temple Bar (right). The other groups represent French sansculottes despoiling 'Holland', 'Savoy', 'Germany' & 'Prussia', and 'Italy'.
