Created by H. Woodward. Published by William Holland. The scene depicts a small wooden boat (foreground facing left) in which two gentlemen are seated. Henry Dundas (right) is caricatured wearing a waistcoat, jacket and (sea otter fur hat, with both hands on the tiller of the boat. His jacket pocket is stuffed to overflowing with small fish. He looks at his partner, William Pitt, caricatured as facing the prow (left) of the boat over which he is fishing with a pole and line, held between both his hands. He is similarly attired in breeches, waistcoat and jacket with shirt ruffles; atop his beribboned wig sits a distinctive fur hat. From his jacket pockets also protrude small fish. Attached to the end of the line as bait, is a bag inscribed ‘1 million sterling’ to which in turn is attached his catch of four dolphin like fish representing Whales. The front third of the boat is full of previously caught sea creatures (whales). Between the two men are stacked seven more bait bags, four which are also inscribed ‘1 Million’. In the centre background are seen two British sailing ships, (probably those of Meares) beyond which lie a line of hills at the opening to a Sound (Nootka). Some rude huts (Meares’ trading establishment) may just be discerned at the base of a cliff (centre left between Pitt’s hands). The whole scene is set upon a calm sea, beneath a slightly clouded blue sky.
