Print shows Lord Malmesbury in a chaise with the royal arms drawn by four wretched hacks and behind the coach stand three English footmen. The chaise-doors are open, a fish-wife has entered from each side; both embrace Malmesbury who puts out his hands in dismay. Beside him sits his secretary, a pen behind his ear. Another woman is getting into the chaise (left) and a fourth stands beside it with two fish are attached to her petticoat. A crowd waves bonnets-rouges in the background while in the foreground stand a small boy, an officer wearing a feathered cocked hat and tattered coat, a ragged man wearing jack-boots and a bag-wig, waving a bonnet-rouge, and a sansculotte.
