Additional Details

Atop a fortified stronghold, a nervous William Pitt spies flocks of Sans-Culottes, Scots and Irish rising up, revolutionaries coming for England; John Bull, a stout countryman with a broken bayonet and the "Rights of Man" in his pocket, sees only the gabbling geese in the distance but still appears quite shaken by Pitt's excitable assertions.
