Monochrome engraving depicting Andromeda, on the right, chained to a rock while a scaly sea monster, to left, rears up at her from the sea, and Perseus, above, flies down on Pegasus, brandishing his sword. On the far right, next to Andromeda, is a round shield emblazoned with St. George's Cross. Above the engraving is printed "Lond. Mag. Vol. XXV. Frontispiece." and below is printed the artist attribution and the following text,
"As sad Andromeda in chains was bound,
A mighty monster gaping to devour,
Even so distressed Britannia late was found,
A victim doom'd to Gold's corruptive Power:
But Pitt, in Perseus' shape, at length appears,
Glads her desponding heart, & rescues from her fears."
