Artist: Charles Williams. Published: S. W. Fores. The stalwart Tierney (left) and the lathlike Pitt (right) face each other, each with two pistols. Tierney fires at Pitt with horizontal right arm; Pitt fires into the air. Between and behind them are Britannia and her lion; she throws up her arms in terror, screaming, "oh Murder my Darling's in Danger oh! oh!" The agitated lion rolls on his back, exclaiming, "oh dear! oh dear". Dundas, in Highland dress, is Pitt's second, he clasps a large decanter with a crown for a stopper, inscribed 'Treasury Cordial'; he turns to shout to Britannia: "Never fear your favorite Boy is in no Danger, if I was as well made for fighting I'd challenge them all". Pitt, wearing a bag-wig, stands stiffly in profile with his feet together, his thinness much exaggerated. Tierney says: "D------it one might as well shoot at a Rush light". His second stands in the middle distance, with clasped hands, looking at Pitt, and saying: "oh what a Pity 'tis it did not hit his waistcoat". The scene is a grassy heath with distant trees. In the background is one of the new telegraphs: a shed behind which is a high frame with (movable) letters which record Bloody news shot. Description from the British Museum.
