The hoe-driver stands on the left of the line of hoers (right), who advance diagonally. The husbandman is a fat John Bull, his wife a comely woman. Beyond the 'old man' is a fifth man. On the extreme right, Gillray has added in the foreground a ragged hoer suspiciously like Fox. The four men yoked to the plough do not resemble seamen. The print otherwise follows the description. All the Englishmen wear large wooden shoes, emblems of servitude (BM).
