Description
English: Design in an oval. A woodland scene; Shelburne and Pitt seated side by side at a rectangular table (left) draped with a cloth on which are coins and money bags. Fox (right) stands aloof scowling towards them over his right shoulder, his hands thrust in his breeches pockets. Shelburne looks at Fox with a complacent smile, he holds Pitt's arm. Pitt holds a money-bag and looks at Shelburne with a sly smile. 12 December 1782

Notes

(Description and comment from M.Dorothy George, 'Catalogue of Political and Personal Satires in the British Museum', V, 1935)

Pitt was Chancellor of the Exchequer in Shelburne's ministry, see BMSat 6023, 6032. The first satire in the collection pointing directly to the rivalry between Pitt and Fox, but cf. BMSat 6023. For other applications of 'Paradise Lost' to Fox's exclusion from office, see BMSat 6011, 6012. For his resignation see BMSat 6010, &c. Reprinted, 'G.W.G.', 1830. Grego, 'Gillray', pp. 42-3.

[edit]
This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.


This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.


This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
