A satire on the repeated motions of the Opposition party in England for peace with France.
Print shows Britannia on her knees before a monster representing the French Republic and offering up her shield and spear, the crown and sceptre, and the 'Magna Charta' which lie on the ground before her. Behind her stand Fox, Sheridan, and Stanhope, as sansculottes, joyfully hailing the apparition. The monster is supported on dark clouds; he is a man seated with arms and legs akimbo, one jack-boot is planted on the sun, a face in its disk looking from the corners of the eyes at Britannia with a dismayed expression; the other is on a crescent enclosing the old moon. His seat is the point of a huge cap of 'Li-ber-tas'. His head is a black cloud on which grotesquely fierce features are indicated and above his head rises a guillotine emitting rays of light.
